Orange White Chocolate Chip Cookies

Tue, 30 Dec 2008 01:18:15 -0500

Delicious, sweet, and aromatic cookies. My little brother closes his eyes when he eats them and thinks they taste like Trix cereal. I think they just taste delightful. The first time I made this recipe I spilled 1/3 bottle of the orange extract in the bowl. The cookies were still great. If you are partial to orange flavor, add a full tablespoon instead of the recommended amount below. -- posted by galexa

Harriet's Wheat Germ Cookies

Mon, 02 Feb 2009 01:56:16 -0500

Very tasty homestyle cookies. This recipe is from my college housemother. There is lots of fiber in here to offset the guilt of the sugar and fat. I use wholewheat pastry flour, but you can use the flour of your choice - it is not critical to the outcome. The chocolate chips and flax are optional. You will need a strong arm to mix the dough - I recommend a stand mixer. -- posted by SassyStew

Healthy Walnut (Or Chocolate) Cranberry Oatmeal Chewy Cookies

Mon, 09 Feb 2009 11:21:56 -0500

These are such unique cookies! These cookies become very thin when they cook, and the addition of brown rice syrup (better for you then sugar... has complex carbs to keep you fuller longer) makes the cookie very chewy and almost slightly sticky. You have never tasted anything like it! -- posted by I Can't Believe It's Healthy

Chocolate Fudge Cookies With Toffee & Dried Cherries

Wed, 11 Feb 2009 15:32:03 -0500

These cookies have a crispy exterior and a soft and chewy interior. The various flavours and textures (rich dark chocolate, chewy sour cherries, and sweet crisp toffee) combine to produce a deliciously addictive cookie. From Regan Daley's cookbook, "In The Sweet Kitchen: The Definitive Baker's Companion". If you are using cherries, make sure they are plump and soft. If you want smaller cookies, decrease baking time. Dough freezes very well. These are fabulously gooey when warm. -- posted by blucoat

The Best Homemade Chocolate Chip Cookies Evar!

Sun, 01 Mar 2009 18:22:42 -0500

That's no exaggeration. It's all about the technique, and the slightly higher ratio of brown sugar to white sugar... Prep time includes one hour of chilling in the refrigerator. Don't underbeat the butter and sugars. Don't skip the slipping the parchment or silpats onto a hard surface step. This somehow carmelizes the sugars so you get a gorgeous crispy bottom and chewy top/middle. Try not to eat these all at once! -- posted by Lizzymommy

These iconic cookies were originally made to send to the ANZACs (Australian and New Zealand Army Corps) serving in Gallipoli.

Best Ever Chocolate Chip Cookies

Mon, 02 Mar 2009 18:07:40 -0500

I started with the basic back of the chip bag recipe and have modified it until I ended up with this final recipe. The cookies will be slightly chewy, but crisp on the edges for dunking. This recipe makes about 10 dozen cookies. I put the dough in wax paper and freeze in 1 dozen size rolls. Just remove the paper, slice the cookies, and bake straight from the freezer. -- posted by asmilliken

This recipe is a little different from others on this site. I swear by Mom's cookies. We had these a lot growing up--especially when the bananas were getting too ripe! Mom would make cookies rather than throw away "perfectly good food!" This is a great way to use up your bananas, and it's tasty! Cooking time is refrigeration time plus actual baking time. -- posted by westtextazzy

Whole Wheat Oatmeal Cookies With Everything

Thu, 12 Mar 2009 14:33:41 -0400

Based on Quaker Oats' Vanishing Oatmeal Cookies Recipe. I made them a few times, and I never thought they were quite good enough. They weren't fluffy enough and they didn't have nearly enough oatmeal! I found out one day when I ran out of white flour, that whole wheat tastes great in oatmeal cookies. I like to pulse the oats in the food processor a few times so they're extra fluffy, but instant oatmeal works very well. -- posted by Coyote's Laugh

Passover Almond Thumbprint Cookies

Thu, 02 Apr 2009 12:01:01 -0400

These delicate little almond cookies, from "Gourmet" (April 2006), are really delicious. They don't taste like Passover cookies and are good enough to eat year-round. The contrast between the crisp cookie and gooey-sweet jam is pretty addictive; you may want to double the recipe. You can substitute a whole almond for the jam, if you prefer. If you like marzipan, you'll love these! And they are quick to whip up. Dough requires 1/2 hour to chill. -- posted by blucoat

Ruth's Peanut Butter Cookies

Fri, 03 Apr 2009 14:52:14 -0400

This is my mom's recipe that she has been using since she was first married 60 years ago. I have searched thru all of the popular recipes here and this one is just a bit different.....most use only brown sugar or have both sugars but then don't use both baking powder and baking soda. I've never had these cookies turn out wrong and they freeze so well. Whether they get reviewed or not, I know I'll be making them for years to come and now I know they are safe here. -- posted by HokiesLady

Greeny's Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies

Sat, 25 Apr 2009 15:32:03 -0400

I will admit, this is similar to both the Hershey's and the Ghirardelli cookie recipes - the back of the chip bags are my best sources of inspiration. :) However, I live at high altitude, so I have changed it up a bit for that and for my family/our friends' tastes. I find that they never flatten (once out of the oven) and they stay chewy for several days. They also freeze well. My store-bought chocolate chip cookie-loving nephew even asked if I could make more of these once they had all been eaten. That was awesome. I have substituted Splenda for half of the granulated sugar portion, and it works well, but I think any more than that would compromise the texture too much. -- posted by Greeny4444

No Fat Added Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookies

Mon, 27 Apr 2009 00:29:30 -0400

These cookies are a wonderful snack when you realy want a sweet, peanut buttery, chocolate treat. You don't add any fat to this recipe so to keep the cookies soft we use applesauce and the fat that is naturaly in the peanut butter. The calorie count on these cookies make a couple of trips to the cookie jar not such a bad thing! -- posted by Fitness Guru

Neiman Marcus' Orange Marmalade Cookies

Wed, 29 Apr 2009 16:38:12 -0400

Helen Corbitt, Neimans first chef, developed this recipe back in the 50's; and it's still as good as ever. The secret is to ice the cookies when they have completely cooled; you can spread a thicker layer of icing that sets up well and won't smear. The recipe was adapted from the book, Neiman Marcus Taste. -- posted by lynnski / LA

A 10 oz. jar of Maraschino Cherries will be enough for the entire batch of cookies." -- posted by Suzanna Marie

These cookies are sure to be safe in any school! And taste awesome too! One of our children started at a new school this year and it turns out to be a nut and egg free school because of the seriousness of the allergies that some of the children that go there have. As a result my wife started scouring different recipes for snacks that were egg and nut free to send along with our daughter for school. She didn't really like any of the ones she tried so she ended up creating her own out of a combination of all the cookie recipes she tried. Hope you enjoy them as much as we do. -- posted by Chef Ryoni

Peanut Butter Oatmeal Cookies

Fri, 25 Sep 2009 01:17:45 -0400

This recipe came from me liking peanut butter, but peanut butter cookies don't stay chewy enough for me. Since I love oatmeal cookies, I sort of combined the 2 flavors and here's what happened. When I first met my husband, he swore he didn't like oatmeal cookies. Now around Xmas, he knows I'll start baking and he asks for these every year! I have served them with a bit of Nutella inside like a sandwich, and I also took them to an office party with peanut butter and jelly spread inside. If you do fill them, put them in the fridge until ready to serve. But I will admit, my favorite is just these cookies and a big old glass of milk. Hope you like them too! -- posted by CharlieGal

Sat, 31 Oct 2009 14:20:13 -0400

A delicate and soft sugar cookie with chunky applesauce topped with a very simple buttercream icing. You could use chunky pear sauce if its in season. Its a perfect fall cookie, although not heavy on apple flavor it definitely makes a moist cookie. This cookie is a comforting crowd pleaser -- posted by Chef #1360497

No Bake Chocolate Oatmeal Cookies

Delicious chocolate cookie recipe my mother always made for me as a child now I make it for my daughter. Sometimes I will use chunky peanut butter instead of smooth, or crush up crackers and use half oatmeal half crackers. This recipe can easily be made your own. -- posted by Karsynn'sMom

Peanut Blossom Cookies

Mon, 21 Dec 2009 02:06:42 -0500

Peanut Blossoms couldn't be more American; combining two of our favorites; peanut butter and Hershey's Kisses. Both have been with us since the early 1900s but how they exactly came together in this cookie. These delicious peanut butter cookies with a kiss sitting happily on top is a hit! -- posted by Rebecca A. L.

Rachel's Fantabulous Nesquik Peanut Butter Chip Brownies

Mon, 28 Dec 2009 16:46:22 -0500

I love how well Nesquik lends itself to baking! This recipe is wonderful for doubling to take to parties and potlucks. Concocted these based off my Pink Brownies recipe, except no additional cocoa powder is needed because there's already chocolate in them. Prep Notes- you can use self-rising flour if you omit the baking soda and salt; AP and cake flours need them or else it won't come out right. If you take out the butter and use all applesauce, use another 2-3 TB or else there won't be enough moisture. If using just one serving of applesauce, those little Mott's single serves are awesome. Can also sub 3 egg whites for the eggs. And of course, the peanut butter chips are what makes it special, but sub regular chocolate chips for traditional brownies. -- posted by the80srule

Whole Wheat Applesauce Cookies

Tue, 12 Jan 2010 18:01:11 -0500

My favorite cookie recipe! These are moist, chewy and delicious. Because most of the sweetness and the moisture comes from the applesauce rather than fat or sugar, not to mention the whole-wheat flour, I don't feel guilty about sneaking one or two of these for breakfast! -- posted by CorianneW

Healthy Breakfast Cookies

This is an easy, and incredibly nutritious recipe that you can quickly throw together the night before to have for breakfast the following morning. My brother loves them and was my inspiration when I perfected this yummy cookie recipe. If there's a lot of old or stale cereal left in your pantry, this is an easy way to use it up! Again, I use a lot of applesauce in place of butter or oil. Enjoy! -- posted by EntirelyEmily

Peanut Blossom Cookies

Janet Greenwood, a long-lost college friend, gave me her husband, Mark's favorite cookie recipe in the early 70's. She typed it on an index card which I've kept in my cookbook for well over 30 years - using it again and again. I thought I'd post it on Zaar for safe-keeping. For me and my family, this is real comfort food. Janet, if you're out there, give me a shout. -- posted by Marsha Mazz
