Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars:

Prep and Cook Time: about 30 minutes. Notes: You can store these bars airtight for up to 2 days.

2 tablespoons butter, at room temperature
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 cup firmly packed dark brown sugar
1 large egg
1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 cups regular rolled oats
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
2 tablespoons granulated sugar

1. In a large bowl, with an electric mixer on medium speed, beat butter, oil, and brown sugar until smooth. Beat in egg, applesauce, and vanilla until well blended.

2. In another bowl, mix flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt; stir or beat into butter mixture until smooth, scraping down sides of bowl as needed. Stir in oats and chocolate chips.

3. Spread dough evenly in a lightly oiled 8-inch square baking pan. Sprinkle top evenly with granulated sugar.

I hate a lot of cookie recipes on my blog, My Sister's Kitchen, that are very simple to make. Nothing terribly difficult.

Probably the easiest, fastest cookie recipe I've ever found is one that you make with cake mix. If you have a boxed cake mix in your cupboard, you very nearly have cookies!

Stir together the cake mix with 1 egg and 1/3 c. oil. Any oil will work but I prefer vegetable oil. If you need to, you can even melt down some butter or margarine and use that.

Drop the cookies by the spoonful on a cookie sheet and bake at 350° for about 11-12 minutes. You can do this with ANY flavor of cake mix. So if your daughter loves pink, you can use a pink cake mix. If you want to roll the dough in a little cinnamon-sugar, you can make snickerdoodles. If you're a chocolate-lover, then make chocolate cake mix and you can even add chocolate chips!

Good luck. When you're feeling inclined to try a regular cookie recipe, check out my blog. YOu can do a search for cookies or click on the COOKIE category.

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.

This is the easiest one that I could find. Hope it easy enough for you. The little ones can "help" decorate the cookies.

SUGAR COOKIES
1 cup butter, unsalted
1 cup white sugar
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1 teaspoon vanilla
3 cups flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt

In a bowl, cream the butter and sugar. Beat in the eggs and vanilla.
In a second bowl, combine and mix well the flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir flour into butter mixture 1 cup at a time. Chill dough for 3 to 4 hours.
Roll out dough and cut into shapes with cookie cutters or a knife. Brush with milk and sprinkle with colored sugar. Bake on a sheet pan or a parchment lined sheet pan in a preheated 350 degree F oven for 10 to 15 minutes depending on the size of the cookie. Remove cookies to a rack to cool completely.

If you want to eat truly healthy, lose body fat consistently, normalize your blood pressure, cholesterol levels, prevent cancer, and even boost your brain health and energy levels, you may have heard all over the news that the Paleo Diet has been found to be one of the best methods of achieving all of these benefits compared to any other popular "fad" diets out there. Go here https://bitly.im/aMDXT

The truth is that the Paleo Diet will never be considered a fad because it's just simply the way that humans evolved to eat over approximately 2 million years. And eating in a similar fashion to our ancestors has been proven time and time again to offer amazing health benefits, including prevention of most diseases of civilization such as cancer, heart disease, alzheimers, and other chronic conditions that are mostly caused by poor diet and lifestyle. One of the biggest misunderstandings about the Paleo Diet is that it's a meat-eating diet, or a super low-carb diet. This is not true

Answer 7

I use the Nestle Toll House recipe on the back of the bag as a basic dough and then get creative.

I love substituting white chocolate chips and dried cherries.
Use peanut butter and milk chocolate chips.
1 cup oatmeal plus butterscotch chips.

It's a great recipe to for you to add any flavors (fruit/nuts/chips) you like.
