NGKUR: Cookies!

[wilmaroo]

Since the weather is getting cool enough to bake more often please share your favorite cookie/bar recipe. Baking cookies makes my husband feel special and I get to eat them

Here is one of our favorites. I make a glaze out of frozen OJ concentrate for a glaze on top.

I have made this Snickerdoodle recipe several times and it's always been a hit!

Mmmmmm cookies.

I would actually grade cookies to get some cool weather down here.

ETA: Grading works too, but that was supposed to be trade.

I'll grade them. Send the cookies to me for your grade!  

Also, hydrangea1019, love Ms. Geist. I think you have my vote.

The only cookie worth eating is chocolate chip. The Nestle Tollhouse recipe, to be exact.

Graham Cracker Butterscotch Cookies are great for the rare occassions that you want something other than Tollhouse traditionals.

I love making these pumpkin cookies in the fall. They're delicious but the recipe does make enough for an army. I usually end up bringing a bunch to work to give to coworkers.

Thus blog post was quite humorous.

Stealing, for sure.

I make an old family recipe of Oatmeal pecan cookies. The recipe does not exist online, but I will try to remember to post later.

I don't like oatmeal, or pecans....but I eat these ALL day.

The real question for Tollhouse traditional aficionados.. do you make them with butter, shortening, or some combination of the two?

Tollhouse is the only chocolate chip cookie I make. I use butter. Shortening would never cross my mind. All butter all the time.

I use unsalted butter, but I've heard salted is better so I'll try that next time I make them.

[k3am]

Shortening makes for a cookie that spreads less. I like to use either butter flavored Crisco or half butter, half Crisco. Try it, you'll like it.

I like cookies

[gabride2010]

These are H's favorite cookies. I add cinnamon and oatmeal to these cookies (I'm not sure how much I add...just do it so it looks right).

The pudding mix keeps them super soft!

My favourite: Tollhouse chocolate chip recipe. But, add vanilla instant pudding mix to the dough, and chill the dough before baking. Makes for super chewy cookies.

Instant pudding makes everything better. I add it to all my cakes and cupcakes. Will definitely have to try with cookies next. Do you use a small box for each batch of cookies?

These nutella chocolate chip cookies are amazing! While not complicated, they do take a while to make though.

I usually make a peppermint chocolate chip cookie. Tollhouse recipe and add two tablespoons of peppermint abstract(I sometimes do three because I'm wild like that).

[TheEleventhHour]

I need to try a recipe that uses pudding mix. I can't believe I never have. It sounds delicious.

[piccyami]

I'm a fan of oatmeal peanut butter chocolate chip cookies right now. We made these and they turned out pretty good.

[mikaela20]

I bring these bad boys out at Christmas time. Always get devoured.

 Instead of Rollo I use Caramilk squares.

[jubilantsquirrel]

My favorite cookies are chocolate chip cookies. I have a great recipe from my Cooks Illustrated baking book and is to die for. I also add peanut butter chips and it amazing! I'm drooling now just thinking about them.

I also make a chocolate mint cookie at Christmas that makes my mouth so happy. It's also a recipe from Cooks Illustrated.

Butter. That's been refrigerated & softened in the microwave.

I have this book ... and have yet to bake from it! Blasphemy. I will have to look for these recipes.

While I love my Nestle cookies, I like to branch out once in a while.

These cheesecake cookies are sofa king good.

It's my go-to book for all things baking. I like it because they talk about what they were trying to accomplish with the recipe, what they tried and why it didn't work and then why the recipe they went with works.
