Blondies were my favorite cookie bar as a child. My grandmother made them the best! Here is a modified version of her recipe, which I adapted to use up some of the mega-bag of fresh cranberries that I bought at Costco. I think she would have liked these. -- posted by Susiecat too

White Chocolate Candy Cane Drops

Wed, 09 Dec 2009 18:03:46 -0500

These cookies are festive and always a hit! Every time I make them I'm asked for the recipe. Be sure to pull them from the oven when the edges are just barely golden for moist, chewy cookies. -- posted by MarsdenMom

Chocolate Peppermint Crunch Cookie Stars

Fri, 11 Dec 2009 10:54:42 -0500

Another grown up cookie - chocolate, coffee, peppermint - not overly sweet... perfect with a good cup of coffee while watching the weather, a movie or reading a book. My kind of Christmas cookie! Found in The Washington Post. -- posted by Buster's friend

Chocolate-Dipped Orange Cookies

Fri, 11 Dec 2009 11:55:36 -0500

This recipe originally called for lemon in place of the orange but orange and chocolate translates to Christmas for me. Found the original in The Washington Post who attributed the Ghirardelli Chocolate Cookbook. In homage, consider using Ghirardelli chocolate for this recipe. Whatever chocolate you use, use block chocolate, not morsels. ****dough needs 30 to 60 minute minimum chill in the fridge (good for making the day before)**** These turned out to be the star on the Christmas platters. Several folks would not believe these were not purchased! They are that good with bittersweet chocolate & about 3+ teaspoons orange zest. Will make next with tangerine zest! -- posted by Buster's friend

These cookies are great for around the holidays (or any time you have a chocolate/peppermint craving!), and they are sure to put a smile on your face! My sister, who is a wonderful baker, came up with this recipe and gave these treats away as a gift! I doctored them up a little, to decorate them on the outside! Have fun and make them your own! -- posted by MamaMeag

Fudgy Mint Cookies

Fri, 11 Dec 2009 17:28:23 -0500

I found these amazing gems in a TOH in 2006, courtesy of a Renee Schwebach. I can't get over how easy they are - it's THE perfect cookie for allowing my small children to help bake with me. You won't regret making them - so you may as well double the recipe right off the bat! -- posted by Rachie P

German Chocolate Cookies

Fri, 11 Dec 2009 19:23:31 -0500

Found in the Washington Post who attributed it to cookbook author Sally Sampson's "Cookies". The dough can be frozen for up to two months. The cookies keep 5 days room temp in an airtight container (good for mailing!) & two weeks in the freezer after being baked (handy!). NOTE: To toast the pecans, spread them on a baking sheet and place in a 325-degree oven, shaking the sheet occasionally, for 15 minutes. Watch carefully; nuts burn quickly. *****these were one of the first gobbled up cookies on our Christmas trays! They are very dark & lumpy bumpy - suspicious looking in fact - but once tried were scooped up fast!****** -- posted by Buster's friend

Harlequins and Bow Ties

Fri, 11 Dec 2009 20:48:26 -0500

Two-toned vanilla & chocolate butter cookies that look so fancy with a simple twist. So pretty on a Christmas platter. Note the dough needs at least an hour chill time - perfect for making & chilling until you are ready to bake. To make your own superfine sugar, process granulated sugar in a food processor, blender or coffee grinder. -- posted by Buster's friend

Viennese Chocolate Pepper Cookies

Sat, 12 Dec 2009 14:41:15 -0500

Stef's Best Chocolate Chip Cookies

Mon, 14 Dec 2009 01:28:38 -0500

I love chocolate chip cookies, and have been playing around for years to find what I consider to be the 'perfect recipe.' This is a combination of recipes from a few different sources, I don't consider it original, more stealing the tips I like from different places (alton brown, the ny times, and paula deen, among others). I particularly like it because the butter is melted - it saves your arm the usual pain of mixing softened butter. These make cookies I like - slightly salty, think, chewy, and butterscotch-y. If anyone finds changes that work well, please let me know, this recipe is always a work in progress to me. Enjoy!! -- posted by StephanieBamBam

Best Rum Balls (America's Test Kitchen)

Mon, 14 Dec 2009 15:23:00 -0500

This recipe is from Christoper Kimball of Cook's Illustrated and America's Test Kitchen. It makes about five dozen rum balls that are intense, fudgy, chewy, complex, and balanced. Recipe can be halved or doubled. Plan ahead, since these are best when left to mellow for at least a few days in the refrigerator. They keep very well and can be stored in the refrigerator for up to a couple of weeks or frozen for up to a few months. Cooking time is refrigeration time. Use vanilla for a non-alcoholic version (sometimes called moon balls). -- posted by blucoat

Rachel's Special Chocolate Coconut Oat Bars

Tue, 15 Dec 2009 11:19:53 -0500

I was in the mood for all three and concocted this: it has the urban decadence of chocolate, the tropical staple of coconut, and the rustic comfort of classic oatmeal. These bars are special because those three things symbolize the various walks of life I have experienced. Open for all kinds of other toppings too! This calls for cream of coconut, crema de coco-- not to be confused with coconut milk or coconut syrup. Would make a wonderful gift or a party/potluck dessert! Cook time does not include chill time. -- posted by the80srule

I was planning to make recipe#113299 for a Christmas party and wanted a chocolate tart as well so I just used my favorite chocolate cookie recipe and added things here and there! They turned out great!! Half way through the party they were all gone, people were hoarding them because they were disappearing so fast! They taste alot like Thin Mint Girl Scout Cookies, can't go wrong there :) -- posted by Rollin in the Dough!

Brownie Alpine Biscotti

Sun, 20 Dec 2009 16:12:17 -0500

"I love visiting with friends over a pot of coffee, so I developed these crisp, chocolaty cookies to munch along with each cup," comments Jeanie Williams of Minnetonka, Minnesota. Brownie mix makes them easy to stir up, and a white chocolate and almond topping adds a festive look. From Taste of Home 25 top favorites! A reviewer said she love them but makes them without the white chocolate because they store better. -- posted by Sharon123

Secret Ingredient Chocolate Chip Cookies

Mon, 21 Dec 2009 01:55:48 -0500

Yes, another all-time favorite recipe for the all-time favorite cookie! I stumbled upon this "Once Upon a Chef" recipe and knew I had to try it. I'm thinking the secret ingredients are the processed oats and coconut which give the cookie a chewy inside, but a crisp outside. They are delectable! My husband, who doesn't like coconut, really loved these. I used a coffee grinder to pulverize the oatmeal since I don't have a food processor and it worked great. -- posted by DuChick

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.

The Best Blondies!

Mon, 21 Dec 2009 02:13:07 -0500

I got this out of a magazine and changed it around a bit to make it better. Most blondies use melted butterscotch chips but instead you create an authentic rich butterscotch flavor by boiling butter and brown sugar together. These go great with some vanilla ice cream! Most people don't know what a blondie is so I tell them it's like if a cookie and a brownie made a baby haha. -- posted by TinaBee08

Truffle Brownies

Mon, 21 Dec 2009 16:49:04 -0500

Milk Chocolate Espresso Cookies

Sat, 26 Dec 2009 18:19:10 -0500

Chocolate... espresso.... cookie.... Couldn't pass this recipe up when finding it in The Washington Post. Adapted from a recipe by Rachel Thebault, owner and head confectioner of Tribeca Treats in New York City. Saving for making later (still awash in Christmas cookies here! LOL). I like to make the dough & refrigerate - then scoop what I want & re-fridge the rest for fresh cookies another time. Hope these will work that way - bet they will. Chocolate... espresso.... -- posted by Buster's friend

Boxing Day Bars

1. To give you that extra energy boost if you are one of those crazy boxing day shoppers! 2. Great recipe to make from leftover Halloween or Christmas candy or pick up the ingredients cheap on Boxing Day! This is my adaptation from a recipe originally published in Better Homes and Gardens... Feel free to substitute candies and let me know if it works (I'm thinking Snickers, chocolate covered cranberries, crushed oreo cookies... endless possibilities!) -- posted by Tanya Pants

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

White Chocolate Kissed Gingerbread Cookies

Tue, 29 Dec 2009 00:47:40 -0500

Chocolate Covered Oreo Balls

Mon, 25 Jan 2010 11:05:28 -0500

Had these on Christmas Eve and thought Santa came early! Talk about simple - and sinful! These were extremely easy (and a lot of fun) to make. We used reduced fat ( ::gasp:: ) Oreos, and they were just as good. You could use low fat cream cheese as well. We also decided that covering the *entire* ball made them a bit too sweet (yes, I know - how can that be?!?). Next time, we will just dunk the bottoms in the chocolate. DH and I can't wait to try out different combinations: Peanut butter Oreos, mint Oreos, flavored chips, adding food coloring to white chocolate (for the holidays, game day, school colors, etc) - the creative possibilities are endless! -- posted by Dea Doo

Thick and Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies

Tue, 26 Jan 2010 12:07:50 -0500

These over-sized cookies are chewy and thick, like many of the chocolate chip cookies sold in gourmet shops and cookie stores.

This may be the BEST chocolate chip cookie ever! -- posted by Chef #1337647

Chewy Chocolate Cookies

Mon, 01 Feb 2010 09:59:13 -0500

This is a Cook's Illustrated recipe that was originally published in January 2009. These are dark, almost fudgy cookies that are not crumbly at all. They develop a nice, crackly top and are not overly sweet, even with the granulated sugar coating. CI recommends using Callebaut Intense Dark L-60-40NV, but any high- quality dark, bittersweet, or semisweet chocolate will work. Light brown sugar can be substituted for the dark, as can light corn syrup for the dark, but with some sacrifice in flavor. A spring-loaded ice cream scoop (size #30) can be used to portion the dough. -- posted by Chilicat

Gluten Free White Chocolate Raisinets

I use Enjoy Life chocolate chips. For a nut free chip, you can also try Vermont Nut Free Chocolates. Earth Balance works for a dairy free option. Make sure the cookies are small. I use a small melon baller which I fill level. Bigger cookies will spread. -- posted by Cookin' on the Prairie

Dutch Cocoa & Pumpkin Brownies (Cake-Like)

Fri, 05 Feb 2010 08:37:04 -0500

I've got 10 pounds of pureed pumpkin in the freezer so I've been experimenting with pumpkin recipes. This is an original recipe for pumpkin brownies that I created while testing out my new gadget, the Perfect Brownie Pan. :) We prefer a fudgier brownie so I'll continue to play with this recipe until I get a fudgy version to post as well, but for now, here is a slightly chewy but more cake-like brownie. The fudgy frosting, while not necessary for flavor, made up for the cake-like brownie & ultimately, everyone loved the combination. Enjoy! -- posted by **Tinkerbell**

Honey-Ginger Chocolate Chip Cookies

Mon, 08 Feb 2010 11:54:07 -0500

I love soft, chewy ginger cookies baked with fresh ginger and honey. But I really love them when they contain the one thing I cannot seem to live without -- chocolate! May you enjoy these as much as I do... and good luck eating just one! By the way... I thought sprinkling a bit more sugar on them before snapping the photos might make them look especially appetizing... Unfortunate for the dear cookies, I was wrong! -- posted by Bazaar®

Bisquick Chocolate Chip Cookies- Just 6 Ingredients!

Tue, 09 Feb 2010 15:16:18 -0500

Classic comfort food. I remember making these in home ec back in the day. God I hated junior high and would never want to relive that torture: but those cookies were good! That good to make me want to remember it. And we didn't keep Bisquick in my house so it was an especially great delight for me. Makes about 16-24 cookies depending on how big you make them. They may not taste as fine as pure from scratch cookies, but they still taste good and are a time-tested kid pleaser. Can sub vegetable oil or shortening for the butter but the butter tastes better. And to make these a tad fancier, I suggest using 1/2 tsp vanilla and 1/2 tsp almond extract. -- posted by the80srule
