hillbillyswife Posted October 30, 2019 Posted October 30, 2019 I accidentally forgot eggs in a peanut cookie recipe and they turned out amazing. I no longer put eggs in.
colemandawn4905 Posted October 30, 2019 Posted October 30, 2019 I use to bake a lot but now the kids are over it’s pointless as we don’t get many visitors.
Elmck Posted October 30, 2019 Posted October 30, 2019 I love having the grand-kids over to make and decorate sugar cookies. Kids grow and families changes so fast that I am not sure how many more years this will last. 1

Is there anything else out there?Google Vegan cookies. They are a PITA to make as it is time consuming because you have to freeze the batter. Since most of the recipes are make with coconut oil, the batter has to be firm so the cookies don't melt in the oven. I use to bake a lot but now the kids are over it’s pointless as we don’t get many visitors.Same boat here. I found out that our police and fire stations love to get home baked goods at the holidays, so I bake for them now! 1

bluebear Posted October 30, 2019 Posted October 30, 2019 I would love to find a good sugar cookie recipe for the cookie press. My crew doesn't love the stock recipes for the cream cheese spritz or butter cookies. But they love sugar cookies. I've tried just some regular mixes and recipes, and they are either too dry or sticky for the press. 1

Is there anything else out there? I can throw a couple egg free cookie recipes your way for sure!!! Ones I've made for years that just don't happen to have eggs - never really though about an allergy!!! :)" Lemon Snowball Cookies 2 cups (282g) all-purpose flour3 Tbsp (24g) cornstarch1/4 tsp salt1 cup (8 oz) butter, softened2/3 cup (84g) powdered sugarZest of 2 lemons (about 4 tsp)2 tsp lemon extract1/2 tsp vanilla extract1/2 cup (68g) finely chopped almonds1 1/2 cups (180g) powdered sugar, for coatingDirectionsIn a mixing bowl whisk together flour, cornstarch and salt, set aside.In the bowl of an electric stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, mix butter on medium speed until creamy, about 20 seconds. Blend in 2/3 cup powdered sugar. Mix in lemon zest, lemon extract and vanilla extract. With mixer set on low speed slowly add in flour mixture and mix just until combine. Stir in almonds. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and chill 30 minutes, preheat oven to 350 degrees halfway through chilling.Scoop dough out 1 Tbsp at a time and roll into a ball, then place balls on Silpat or parchment paper lined baking sheets, spacing cookies about 2-inches apart and bake in preheated oven for 16 - 18 minutes (these are a cookie that I think are best when they aren't moist in the center so I'd say don't under bake them. These actually are a cookie that are meant to be dry. Dry but a melt in your mouth kind of dry). Remove from oven and allow to cool several minutes then while cookies are still warm, pour 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar into a bowl and roll cookies in powdered sugar. Transfer to a wire rack to cool then once cookies are cool, roll in powdered sugar once more, this time to generously coat (I pressed it into the powdered sugar to give it a thick coating). Store cookies in an airtight container. Cocoa Kiss Cookies 1 cup (2 sticks) butter, softened⅔ cup sugar1 tsp vanilla1 ⅔ cups all purpose flour¼ cup cocoa powder1 cup FINELY chopped pecans1 bag (9 oz) Hershey’s KissesPowdered Sugar Beat butter, sugar and vanilla in large bowl until creamy. Stir together flour and cocoa; gradually add to butter mixture, beating until well blended. Add pecans. Beat well. Refrigerate dough 1 hour or overnight. Needs to be firm enough to handle. Heat oven to 375. Remove wrappers from kisses. Mold tablespoon of dough around each chocolate piece, covering it completely. Shape into balls. Place on ungreased cookie sheet - or one lined with parchment paper. Bake 10-12 minutes or until set. Cool slightly. Remove to wire rack, cool completely. Roll in powdered sugar. Roll again in sugar just before serving if desired.

wittenlover Posted November 4, 2019 Posted November 4, 2019 My list for this year (pretty much the same as most years): Chocolate chip cookies (about 35 dozen)Peanut butter cookies (about 15 dozen)White chocolate chip macadamia cookies (about 20 dozen)Oatmeal PB choc chip cookies (made with mini choc chips, about 15 dozen)Candy cane kiss cookies (Chocolate cookies with a Hershey's candy cane kiss pressed in the middle - basically Xmas version of PB blossoms) (about 8 dozen)Lemon "sparkle" cookies (totally from scratch - I zest and juice the lemons myself, about 7 dozen)Snickerdoodles (about 10-15 dozen)Brownies (3 9x13 pans)Chocolate peppermint 3-layer fudge (3 8x8 pans)Chocolate raspberry 3-layer fudge (this year using homemade raspberry extract from a friend who makes it! Woo!) (2 8x8 pans)Pumpkin bread (3 loaves)I think that's everything. Fully half of everything on the list needs to be done and shipped by Dec 11th at the latest (for my NASCAR boys). If I get adventurous, I may try thumbprint cookies this year. Got a good friend (& their family) that I think will appreciate them. 2

I think I want to make some this year. I want to make them the larger ones. I think I’m going to do PB Blossoms, WC Macadamia, Chocolate Chip, PB Cookies, Maybe Candy Cane cookies (make the dough, split and color half red) twist together and when baked and hot sprinkle with crushed candy canes, maybe do my oatmeal raisin cookies if I can find my recipe.
magickallight Posted December 6, 2019 Posted December 6, 2019 I have been planning out my cookies for the family cookie exchange on the 22nd. Will probably start backing on the 16th and bake all week. Making my MUST-HAVES (per my family) of Chocolate Chip cookies and Chocolate Crinkles, and wanting to try to make some new cookies this year including snowballs, frosted Amish sugar cookies, chocolate bars and peppermint bark chocolate bars. Thinking about holding off on the snikerdoodles and shortbread cookies until New Year's, as everyone else is bring several kinds of cookies as well, and it is going to be a SUGAR OVERLOAD! 2

freesia39 Posted December 8, 2019 Author Posted December 8, 2019 maybe do my oatmeal raisin cookies if I can find my recipe. I use this recipe from America's Test Kitchen for Oatmeal Raisin cookies (just add raisins) https://www.splendidtable.org/recipes/classic-chewy-oatmeal-cookies They're AMAZING. So many raves every time I make them. I don't make them as big as the recipe calls for (heavy tablespoon for a cookie) But it's still good. 1
bluebear Posted December 9, 2019 Posted December 9, 2019 (edited) So yesterday at the store I realized how close it is to baking time, yikes! I was feeling lazy, so I bought chocolate chip and sugar cookie mixes, and refrigerated brownies. Right now I don't have the oomph to think about more than that, but hopefully that will change.Last year I made cool whip cookies, and the whole time I said I would never make them again... but they were so good, I might. For candy, I always make about 20 dozen buckeyes, and last year I learned how to make butter mints, so I'll probably make those again. And maybe peppermint patties.

I’m sort of bummed I make my own vanilla extract and realized at Thanksgiving I don’t have anymore. Takes me a minimum of 8 weeks to make a batch.
