Answer 1

Chocolate Chip Cookies
[This is based on the infamous Nestle Toll House recipe. After years of making this recipe, my mom has adapted it slightly. As far as all six of her kids and 14 of her grandkids are concerned, it was an improvement.]

1 cup soft butter
3/4 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup chopped nuts -- pecans are best
12 ounces Nestle's choc. chips
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour -I don't always use all of this - 2 +cups
1/4 teaspoon baking POWDER -- not Baking soda!
dash salt

Beat butter, add sugars. then eggs and vanilla. Mix thoroughly. Add the chopped nuts and the pkg of chips. Sift together dry ingredients. Add quickly and stir just until mixed.

Chill for a couple hours if dough is too sticky.
Drop by teaspoonsful onto a lightly greased cookie sheet. Bake at 375°F oven for 10 to 12 minutes, until lightly browned and top center has set. May freeze.

NOTES : To make CINNAMON COOKIES - use recipe above, BUT delete chips, and add 1 Tablespoon Cinnamon with the dry ingredients. These are great! There are also cinnamon chips, but I've never tried them. I actually am not a fan of chocolate [I know, I know, there are only two or three of us on the planet], so I love the cinnamon version.


OR you can try....

Molasses Crinkles
[Old family recipe]

Ingredients:
3/4 soft butter
1 cup brown sugar, packed
1 large egg
1/4 cup molasses
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
dash salt
1/2 teaspoon cloves
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon ginger
granulated sugar

Mix together well: butter, sugar, molasses and egg. Blend all dry ingredients together, and stir in, Chill dough.

Heat oven to 375°F. Form 1" to 1 1/4" balls with the dough. Roll them in a bowl of granulated sugar to coat all sides. Place coated balls on cookie sheet. Bake 10 to 12 minutes or just until they are set but not hard. Cool on a rack. Store in air tight tin, and freeze.

Both of these are family favorites -- we've been enjoying them for over 40 years!

Answer 2

CHOCOLATE SNOWBALL COOKIES

1 & 1/4 cups of butter, softened
2/3 cup of sugar
1 teaspoon of vanilla
2 cups of flour
1/8 teaspoon of salt
1/2 cup of unsweetened cocoa
2 cups of finely chopped pecans
confectioners sugar

In a large bowl cream together the butter and sugar. Add vanilla to butter mixture and cream well. In another bowl sift flour, salt and cocoa together. Gradually beat in flour mixture to the butter mixture, beat well. Blend in the pecans. Refrigerate dough for 1 hour. Roll dough into balls** and place on ungreased cookie sheets. Bake in a 350 degree preheated oven for 20 minutes. Allow cookies to cool 2-3 minutes on baking sheets to set. Carefully slide cookies onto wire racks to cool. Roll cooled cookies in sifted confectioners sugar.

**Dough balls should measure 1 to 1 1/8 inches across. Cookies will flatten out slightly and measure 1 1/2 to 1 3/4 inches when baked. A heaping teaspoon makes a good measure. Smaller size cookies will yield approx. 80 cookies, larger size approx 60.

I started out making these as part of my Christmas cookie tradition but they are great any time.

Answer 3

The trick is pure icing sugar. It makes the shortbread snap and melt in your mouth. I don't have the recipe on hand but it is just pure icing sugar, butter, pecans and optional glace cherry's and cornflour and flour and vanilla but I'm not sure of the quantity - just basically like how you make most shortbread using these ingredients.

Answer 4

hi,

nick b was right about nestle's toll house recipe (on the back of thechocolate chip bag) but.....

let me add, that if you sub crisco for the butter your cookies will be so much better as they will not flatten out the last minute of cook time as they will when you use the butter.

simple sub but well worth it.
