What's your favorite cookie?

Question

My 2 yr old and I are going to make cookies, what kind should we make? I am tired of chocolate chip!

Answer 1

Hiya! :) My Mom was the designated cookie baker in grade school due to this recipe. What makes it so perfect is that you can use cookie cutters with it. If u really wanna go all out then add sprinkles. I make these every christmas & the plate is gone within 15min...then every 1 asks 4 the recipe. :)
*Butterscotch Shortbread *
2 1/4 cups flour (sifted)
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup light brown sugar (packed)
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 cup butter (must be unsalted)
1/2 cup Crisco (i prefer Butter flavor but either works)
Cream sugar's & shortening until thoroughly blended *tip-use large bowl b/c u will be adding everything to this base
Sift flour & salt together
Slowly add flour mixture to creamed mixture
*tip-2 or 3 Tbs @ a time When all flour has been added
work dough into a ball & place on floured waxpaper & roll out to 1/4 inch then cut as desired & decorate with sprinkles. Place cookies on ungreased cookie sheet & bake @ 300F for 20-25 min or until they are nice & golden brown on the edges. Also, you can start to smell the sugar in the air as they are approaching doneness. Allow them 2 cool on sheet (2-3 min) then transfer to drying racks
Yields 7.5 dz Enjoy your yummy treat! :)

Answer 2

Chocolate peanut butter no-bakes.
Or the butterscotch/oatmeal cookies, recipe on the back of the butterscotch chips bag.

Or these, which in our house are gone the first day:
1 c. light Karo syrup
1 c. white sugar
1 c. peanut butter
2 c. Corn Flakes
2 c. Rice Krispies (or 5 cups corn flakes only)

Bring sugar and corn syrup mixture to a boil. Add peanut butter. Stir until peanut butter is thoroughly mixed. Add Corn Flakes and Rice Krispies. Tablespoon out onto waxed paper. Or pour into 9 x 12 inch cake pan. Let cool, then cut into squares

Answer 4

I made these awsome cookie bars made with crushed graham crackers. I used choclate chips and toffee bits. I'm putting them in my husbands care package.

INGREDIENTS

* 3/4 cup butter, softened
* 1/2 cup white sugar
* 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
* 1 egg
* 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
* 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
* 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
* 1/2 teaspoon salt
* 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
*
* 3/4 cup candy-coated milk chocolate pieces
* 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
* 1/2 cup chopped pecans

DIRECTIONS

1. Beat together margarine and sugars until light and fluffy. Blend in egg and vanilla. Add combined flour, graham cracker crumbs, baking soda and salt. Mix well. Stir in chocolate chips , M & M's, and nuts.
2. Drop dough by heaping tablespoonfuls onto greased cookie sheets about 3 inches apart . Press 2 or 3 additional M & M candies on top of cookies if desired.

That's the recipe I used, but just add what you want, and preheat at 325 degrees and check after 25 minutes. Oh and use 2 cups of crushed graham crackers.

Answer 5

Rice Crispie Squares are always fun for kids.
I like to bake a Cookie Recipe called
Cinnamon Twists- Very basic and easy to make
3 eggs
1 cup sugar
3/4 cup oil
2 tsp baking powder
3 cups flour(approx)
1/2 cup cinnamon-sugar for top of cookie--- 1/2 cup sugar mixed with 1 tsp cinnamon
Combine eggs,sugar,oil, and blend well
Stir in dry ingredients. Use just enough flour to make a soft dough.
Roll pieces of dough into long, pencil-thick rolls.
dip in cinnamon sugar.
Twist into figure eights or I make circles or s shapes or alphabet letters. Great for teaching kids.
Place each cookie on a lightly greased baking sheet.
Bake at 375 degrees for 10-12 minutes.
Children love these cookies. Recipe makes about 4 doz.

Answer 6

3 ingredient peanut butter cookies:

1 cup peanut butter (not lo-fat);
1 cup granulated sugar;
1 large egg.

(Mix this together and spoon onto greased cookie sheet. Bake for about 8 to 10 minutes at around 350)--just watch the cookies; don't let 'em burn. Take them out when they still look sort of 'soft' and you'll have soft batch cookies when the cool or cook a little longer and have crunchy cookies.


(Potato chip cookies are also good, but I've lost my recipe.)

Sourdough chocolate chip and pecan. After that, peanut butter with chocolate chips. Then COWBOY cookies with chocolate chips. Sorry. I'm addicted to chocolate. Mmmmm.

How about Oatmeal cookies or better yet Peanut Butter cookies. They are great with milk and healthy for you as well.
