Any good easy cookie recipes?

Answer 1

Sandra Lee from TV Food Network has some recipes. Just to warn you though, there are some really inappropriate Sandra Lee-bashers, so some of her recipes have unnecessarily low reviews. I would read the recipes and reviews before nixing something.

Answer 2

I'm a guy, a medic student, 21 years old, I cook for myself everyday, so I do need to have 'easy', hassle-free, delicious, great food. For cookies, I always tell my friends, why the stick to the rigid measurements when it's all just supposed to be fun? I usually put 4 cups of flour into a large container, make a well in the center, break an egg into it, a cube of melted butter, and 2 cups of sugar. Slowly twirl the flour from the outside into the well, mix lightly first with your fingers, then slowly use your palm into kneading the dough. If it fells too sticky, add hald a cup more flour, add appropriately until the dough achieves a smooth surface. (You may consider a few other options, like melting chocolate along with the butter, then add 2 table spoons of cocoa to make chocolate cookies, or crush some corn flakes and add into the well before kneading, or even hazel nuts. Best- add all 3 additional ingredient and you'll get crispy, crunchy, chocolaty cookies). Mold them into any shapes you want, lay them on a pan slightly swept with oil, bake in the oven at 150 degree celcius for 10-15 minutes. The best thing is, you can do it together with your daughter, you definitely get to spend quality time doing something you both love. Enjoy, and do try it out sometimes.

Classic Butter Cookies
1 C. unsalted butter

2/3 C. sugar

bare pinch salt

2 1/2 C. all-purpose flour

Cream the butter until softened, then add sugar and salt. Fold in flour and mix to make a stiff dough. Knead gently on a lightly floured board to make the dough smooth.

You may otherwise place flour, salt and sugar in a food processor. Add butter in chunks and pulse to make a crumbly mixture. Turn out onto a lightly floured board and knead to make a stiff dough.

Wrap dough in plastic wrap or wax paper and chill in refrigerator for 15 minutes.

Preheat oven to 350 F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

Roll dough out to a thickness of 3/8 to 1/2 inch. Cut into rectangles or circles. Mark with the tines of a fork. Place cookies two inches apart on baking sheet and place in oven. Immediately reduce heat to 325 F. Bake until lightly browned (25 to 35 minutes). Reduce heat if cookies are browning too quickly.

Cool cookies on a rack.

You may also pat dough out into an 8 or 9 inch cake pan. Mark with fork tines and score into 10 to 12 wedges. Bake until lightly browned on edges.
