Share your cookie recipes! (Doing this early this year so we can try to find the ingredients)

[magickallight]

Since store shelves are starting to empty, I think we'll do this early this year so we can try to find the ingredients in stock for any new recipes we may want to try.

 

                                                                        So, Everyone - Share your cookie recipes!

 

[Bopeep]

If you decide to make these cookies, keep in mind it's written out as a quad batch.

 

 

We've done these cookies every year since I was a kid (well, I guess my mama did these cookies when I was a kid, and the rolling pin has been passed to me).  Sometimes I think I should do different kinds of cookies, but everyone that gets these loves them, so there's that.  I am thinking of trying a hot cocoa sandwich cookie with a marshmallow buttercream filling this year. We'll see.

I have many recipes but a few are favorites to those that receive them, so they’re made every year:

 

My three layer easy fudge recipe that I’ve kept bookmarked:

https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/91736/layered-mint-chocolate-fudge/

(I make this using peppermint oil vs mint extract b/c we all prefer that flavor. I also make a second batch with a fruit-flavor middle layer instead. I’ve done strawberry, cherry, raspberry variations.)

 

The chocolate chip cookie recipe I keep going back to:

Here’s a recipe I found on Betty Crocker website that I sub Candy Cane kisses in place of the Hugs to make them more holiday-ish:

Happy baking, friends!

I don't bake.  But my sister (Bopeep) does! Can't wait to try the sandwich cookies!

[speeddiva]

I think someone posted this in last year’s thread. They are our new favorite and so versatile. Try adding different liquors to the frostings for an adult tray.

 

 

 

Bonbons

 

3 cups all-purpose flour

1 cup butter or margarine, softened

2/3 cup powdered sugar

1/4 cup milk

1 teaspoon vanilla

1 package (7- or 8-oz size) almond paste

 

Vanilla Bonbon Frosting

 

1 cup powdered sugar

1 1/2 tablespoons milk

1 teaspoon vanilla

 

Chocolate Bonbon Frosting

 

1 oz unsweetened baking chocolate, melted and cooled

1 cup powdered sugar

2 tablespoons milk

1 teaspoon vanilla

 

Steps

1

Heat oven to 375°F. In large bowl, beat all bonbon ingredients except almond paste with electric mixer on medium speed, or mix with spoon, until dough forms.

2

Cut almond paste into 1/4-inch slices; cut each slice into fourths. Shape 1-inch ball of dough around each piece of almond paste. Gently roll to form ball. Place about 1 inch apart on ungreased cookie sheet.

3

Bake 10 to 12 minutes or until set and bottom is golden brown. Remove from cookie sheet to wire rack. Cool completely, about 30 minutes.

4

For vanilla frosting, in small bowl, stir all Vanilla Bonbon Frosting ingredients until smooth.

5

For chocolate frosting, in small bowl, stir all Chocolate Bonbon Frosting ingredients until smooth. If necessary, stir in additional milk, 1 teaspoon at a time, until soft enough to spread.

6

Dip tops of cookies into frostings and sprinkle with decors as desired.

One of my favorite year-round treats…..

 

Peanut Butter Chews

 

1 cup light karo syrup

1 cup sugar

1 cup creamy peanut butter

2 tbsp butter

1 tsp vanilla

6 cups corn flakes

 

Measure corn flakes into a large bowl or dish and set aside. I usually use a 9x13 baking dish

in large saucepan, mix sugar and karo syrup and bring to a rolling boil over medium heat, stirring constantly.

Remove from heat and add peanut butter,  butter and vanilla. Mix well.

Pour mixture over corn flakes and mix well until cereal is fully coated. 
Drop into cupcake papers or you can drop on parchment/wax paper and flatten slightly for more of a cookie shape.

Whatcha sellin? Like kinds? Lol

I made chocolate chip cookies, peanut butter cookies, and chocolate peppermint brownies. [emoji4][emoji106] I’ll be in downtown Plymouth tomorrow evening from 6-about 7:30 or 8 with my Pokémon Go raid crew. The brownies always go the fastest (partially because I don’t make as many of those, partially because I have a couple folks that really love them and, I swear, take turns trying to buy my stock out lol)
