Share your cookie recipes!

Ingredients may be harder to come by closer to the holiday season this year, and I plan on getting all of mine purchased this month - so I have to decide on what cookies I will be making.

 

So, I thought we would kick off this thread early and share our recipes with each other so we can all have our game plans and grocery lists ready.

 

 

 Share your cookie recipes and let's have some fun.

I never thought about ingredients being hard to get. Now you've got me thinking too!

Oh good idea to think ahead. I already have some of the Betty Crocker pouch cookie mix, sugar and chocolate chip, as I bought some during the early summer thinking while I was home I'd be all baking-motherly and makes lots of cookies. Yeah... I also still have ingredients for Nestlé Tollhouse cookies. So we'll have those simple cookies for sure.

 

My major dessert I make is buckeyes. I have a couple bags of powdered sugar already, but better grab some more in case.

 

And something I made a couple years ago and ended up being a big hit with the youngest was cool whip cookies. So those are now a must. He doesn't eat buckeyes, so this gives him another thing to eat.

 

That's probably enough. But I actually have a surplus of flour (Kroger: all purpose flour isn't the same as bread flour!), so I should try and find one more thing that requires that. Maybe spritz cookies.

The only cookies I make are basic sugar cookies with buttercream icing.  I make several chocolate candies (peanut clusters, turtles, cordial cherries, peanut butter cups, peanut butter crunch, billionaires).  I have started buying the ingredients. I order the chocolate and caramel, so that came in last week. I need about 12 more bags of powdered sugar, and a few more things.  

 

Here's my cookie recipe:

Oh I always love this form. My family always thinks I came up with a special recipe but when I tell them it was from a friend they always think I am being modest. I truly be like....IT IS NOT MINE, but have to say I do love the attention. So come on down with MY NEW recipe.

I always make these for one of my best friends. He loves them. Not really holiday cookies specifically, but he gets a full batch to himself in his Christmas box every year.

 

I juice & zest the lemon myself, so about as truly from scratch as it gets.

 

Edits I’ve made to recipe as written:

- Double the amount called for of lemon juice & lemon zest

- I roll them in granulated sugar instead of powdered for some sparkle. (I’ve been known to mix yellow sugar crystals with the plain white sugar as well)

I'm kinda bummed, most likely will not be baking cookies this year since we still are not going into the office, and everyone is still hesitant about sharing food from non-close family members.

Y'all can send all the cookies to me. I'm not hesitant.

OMG! I have made those peanut butter cookies for years now. Hands down the best peanut butter cookie.

I always make my cookies from scratch. Mom and her sisters like the basics: oatmeal raisin, chocolate chip, chocolate crinkle etc. The only cookie I cheat on is I get Gordon Food Service's holiday sugar cookie box. Bake them. I then decorate them with homemade butter cream frosting. Nuke them in the microwave (yes, frosting and all) maybe 15 - 20 seconds before eating them for that straight from the oven goodness. Yummy goodness!
