In a bowl, cream the butter and sugar. Beat in the eggs and vanilla.


In a second bowl, combine and mix well the flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir flour into butter mixture 1 cup at a time. Chill dough for 3 to 4 hours.


Roll out dough and cut into shapes with cookie cutters or a knife. Brush with milk and sprinkle with colored sugar. Bake on a sheet pan or a parchment lined sheet pan in a preheated 350 degree F oven for 10 to 15 minutes depending on the size of the cookie. Remove cookies to a rack to cool completely.Can anyone give me some good cooking recipes for cookies?

These pumpkin cookies are great any time, but especially in the fall. Try taking some of these yummy cookies to your next party or pack some in your kids' lunches.





To make these cookies, you will need the following ingredients:





1-1/2 cup brown sugar


1-1/2 cup canned pumpkin


戮 cup oil


1-1/2 teaspoon vanilla


3 cups flour


1-1/2 teaspoon baking soda


1-1/2 teaspoon baking powder


戮 teaspoon cinnamon


戮 teaspoon nutmeg


戮 teaspoon ginger


1-1/2 cup raisins


戮 cup chopped walnuts





Instructions:





Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.





Beat together the sugar, pumpkin, oil and vanilla in a large bowl. Sift together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger and then add to the pumpkin mixture, stirring well. Blend in the raisins and walnuts. Spoon by tablespoons onto a well greased baking sheet. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes. Cool on cookie rack.Can anyone give me some good cooking recipes for cookies?

Also, you can make up your own recipes by starting with a basic oatmeal or chocolate chip cookie recipe and adding spices, citrus oils or zest, various roasted nuts, various dried fruits like raisins, dried cherries, cut up dried apricots, etc, chocolate chips, coconut, etc. You can also change the flour to ww, add wheat germ or bran or roasted and ground flax seeds if you want to ';health up';. You will probably have to sub out some of the oatmeal or a bit of flour and possibly add a tablespoon or two of milk to the recipe.


Use parchment paper to bake on instead of greasing the cookie sheet, and invest in some really good cookie pans, the ones with two layers of material with space inside. Also, get an oven thermometer, all ovens are a little different and baking isn't very forgiving of higher or lower temperatures than recipes recommend.


The real trick to making really good cookies (and trust me, I make REALLY GOOD cookies) is to do it over and over and keep track of exactly what you do and use so you can make small modifications to the next batch. Things like the size of the eggs, salted or unsalted butter, how long you cream the butter and sugar, these all have a real impact on flavor and texture. I have a recipe I've been working on for 20 years that I started selling a couple of years ago. Sorry, it's a secret recipe, even my mom doesn't know it...she asked me the other day if she could have the recipe if I die first!


Have fun baking!
nah cookies arnt my thing
Cookie Sensations





Makes 24 cookies


Ingredients:


2 cups of flour


1tsp. baking soda


1tsp. salt


1 stick of butter(1/2 cup)


1/2 cup of brown sugar


1/2 cup of granulated sugar


2 eggs beaten


1 tsp. of vanilla extract


1 bag of nestle semi-sweet chocolate chips


1/2 cup of creamy peanut butter





Directions:


Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.


Combine the first three dry ingredients into a bowl


Add butter,peanut butter,and sugar into bowl and cream(mix)


Add eggs one at a time,vanilla extract, and add flour mixture into bowl


After that mix together


Then add the chocolate chips.


Place onto 9';x13'; cookie sheet and bake in oven for about 9-10 minutes until golden brown
I like the basic recipe (minus the chips) for Nestle Toll House Cookies, then add whatever you want as far as chips goes...heath, choc, white choc, mint, specialty with reese's, raspberry syrup, etc, cinnamon, peanut butter, mini-kisses, M%26amp;M's, etc. Go crazy with monster cookies and add a little bit of everything. You can also make the regular batch and add a cup of peanut butter per batch for very chewy excellent tasting cookies.





You can also jazz up any oatmeal raisin recipe by skipping the raisins and adding dried cranberries or other fruit in raisin sized pieces, try dried apricots or crunched up banana chips. Also good with cinnamon chips or peanut butter chips.





Sugar cookies can be colored and decorated of course. OR you can use presweetened koolaid instead of the white sugar. It will flavor and color them...great at Easter or springtime, probably better for kids, but I like them made with pink lemonade powder. You can substitute the vanilla with any other extract...I have seen lemon, peppermint, root beer, almond, etc.





Peanut butter cookie recipes are great with a touch of cinnamon in them, also you can put kisses in the middle, or choc chips in the dough, or roll and decorate like sugar cookies with cream cheese icing.





You can also make brownie mix into cookies.





Almost all cookie dough recipes can be made in huge batches and frozen. I do this ALL the time, I make my own slice and bake cookies and can bake as many as I want at a time.





I hope these ideas are worthwhile to you, other than the Toll House recipe, you have to have your own good standy recipe, these are ways to add the twist.
