Perfect (And Easy!) Shortbread

Tue, 19 Dec 2006 16:54:06 -0500

This is from the back of the Canada Cornstarch box - I've been making it for years. Four ingredients, and it comes out tasting and looking perfect each time. For fun I like to add coloured sugar sprinkles for the holidays! (P.S. I learned how to bake with this recipe, so that tells you how easy it is!) -- posted by netselkie

Raspberry Fig Linzer Cookies (Diabetic)

Mon, 08 Jan 2007 14:21:43 -0500

Though the holidays are far away, Im already looking at my cookbooks and magazines and thinking about the recipes I wanted to try this past year and did not. Since I have several friends who are diabetic, I always make tins to accommodate their needs. This recipe from Diabetic Living should be on my 2007 trays. To prepare these you can use a cookie cutter designed for linzer cookies or two cookie cutters in the same shape with one about 1 ½ to 2 inches the other about a half inch smaller. You can make these with white sugar but that will increase the carbohydrate content. As presented: 62 calories, 10 g carbs. -- posted by justcallmetoni

No Bake Macaroons

Mon, 08 Jan 2007 14:32:24 -0500

These are my mother-in-law's macaroons. This is a great no-bake recipe which is easy to make, freezes well, and tastes heavenly. 01/26/07---When scooping these cookies, make sure the batter isn't too liquidy. The batter should be thick. If you use quick oats, you may run the risk of attaining a crumbly batter as I did the last time I made these- no problem. Just add a bit of milk, blending thoroughly after each tablespoon. Then, using a cookie scoop or tablespoon measure, press the batter into the scoop with either your fingers or the back of a spoon to make it hold together then drop them onto the waxed paper and proceed as described below (if you are using a tablespoon measure, you may need to tap it against the cookie sheet to get the batter to drop out). -- posted by Canadian_in_the_Bay

Gingerbread Man Cookies /House

Hazelnut Crescents

Tue, 09 Jan 2007 20:29:08 -0500

This cookie debuted on our family holiday cookie trays this past year and quickly became one of my favorites. Mom sent me her recipe and Im putting it here for safe keeping. The cookie is labor intensive and not recommended for busy or new chefs. That said the results are both beautiful and delicious. Would be great for a special occassion or dinner party served with a fruit sorbet. (Preparation does not include 1 hour chilling time.) -- posted by justcallmetoni

Peanut Butter Cookies

Thu, 18 Jan 2007 16:26:13 -0500

I recently found this recipe stuck away in my files it goes back 25 years, it is the best PB cookie around! Add in finely chopped peanuts and/or mini chocolate chips if desired. Plan ahead the dough needs to chill for minimum 2 hours before baking. If you are doubling this recipe prepare two separate recipes in 2 bowls do not double the complete recipe into one bowl, it will effect the texture of the cookie. You will LOVE this cookie, I promise! -- posted by KITTENCAL

Salty Sweet-Ness

Tue, 06 Mar 2007 18:01:28 -0500

Maxine's Strawberry Pizza

Sat, 17 Mar 2007 09:26:04 -0400

Ever noticed that there is always one person wherever you work, live, or go who not only can make wonderful meals, but also wonderful snacks? This recipe came from Maxine, who was known to introduce us to wonderful snacks and also very easy recipes. She also is the one behind my Pineapple Scallop recipe. She never let us down, her food was always a treat. Wish we lived closer...wonder what she is cooking today!! Servings are based on pizza slices. To serve a group on a buffet table, I would cut into rectangular pieces. -- posted by eHelen

Chocolate Peanut Fudge Bars (Midwest)

Sun, 25 Mar 2007 20:03:58 -0400

I got this recipe from the inside of the cream cheese carton- Yum! I do recommend doubling the chocolate cookie crumbs as some reviewers have noted it doesn't cover the bottom of the pan very well with only 2 cups. -- posted by Brenda.

Mákos Kifli (Hungarian Poppy Seed Crescents) Kipfli / Kip

Sun, 25 Mar 2007 20:16:52 -0400

Traditional Hungarian Christmas cookies or just nice for breakfast in the morning with coffee. The filling can also be used for kolach. These are very good, but fairly labor intensive. We usually make these over two days, making the dough up the first day and refrigerating overnight, then assembling and baking the next day. We also usually have one person roll them out while 2 or 3 people finish assembling them, so it goes much faster. -- posted by littleturtle

No-Bake Peanut Butter Balls

Brownie Pudding Dessert

Tue, 15 May 2007 20:29:30 -0400

This is SOOOOO good!, I make this using my recipe#87925 but boxed is okay to use as long as it is a mix to fit into a 13x9 pan. Prep time does not include making the brownies, plan ahead this needs to chill for a few hours before serving -- posted by KITTENCAL

Lemon Pistachio Pretzel Cookies

Tue, 11 Sep 2007 20:41:21 -0400

Now fully immersed in the delights available on this site, I rarely buy cookbooks for baking anymore. A recent trip to a gem of a cookbook shop located in the Village, I stumbled on this little chubby book with the most unusual cookie recipes. This one stuck me immediately and alone may be worth the price. Saving this for my holiday trays but may just break down and make them sooner. -- posted by justcallmetoni

Evergreen Sandwich Cookies

Tue, 11 Sep 2007 22:14:52 -0400

I make these every Christmas. They are a little time-consuming, but they taste so good. They have a fluffy vanilla filling and a rich shortbread flavor. Plan ahead: The dough has to refrigerate for at least 1 1/2 hours. -- posted by Lainey6605

Sour Milk Molasses Drop Cookies

Tue, 16 Oct 2007 00:32:15 -0400

Another way to use up that milk once it turns. The result is a pillowy soft cake-like cookie with a delicate molasses and spice flavor. If milk never turns at your house, the you can make your own by placing a tablespoon of vinegar in a measuring cup and filling to level with milk. Let that sit for 10 minutes and you have soured milk. -- posted by justcallmetoni

Kittencal's Buttery Cut-Out Sugar Cookies W/ Icing That Hardens

Sun, 28 Oct 2007 19:05:25 -0400

You will not find a better sugar cookie anywhere you search, there are many recipes that claim to be the best but fall behind on their statement, this will most likely be the only sugar cookie you will use, not only are these cookies buttery delicious, the dough is an absolute dream to work with, it rolls out easily and is easy to handle, also the cookies hold their shape when baked something many sugar cookies do not do --- make as many different colors as desired in separate bowls with the icing, the cookies must be completely cooled before icing --- plan ahead the dough must be chilled for at least 2 hours before rolling -- since these are topped with icing they are not a sweet cookie if you want a sweeter taste then increase the sugar amount -- posted by KITTENCAL

Tue, 20 Nov 2007 19:07:38 -0500

A variation on the rum balls without the rum! Kids (& adults) will love them. I have made this recipe since I was a little girl and they are still a family favourite. Great for picnics, parties and even Christmas - and as gifts. The recipe is easy to make double batches for larger crowds! -- posted by Magpie 025

Easy Brownie Cheesecake

Sun, 09 Dec 2007 02:20:47 -0500

This makes a 13x9 pan with one brownie layer and one cheesecake layer. Then you can make a pretty swirl on top. It sounds great and easy. I think you could easily sub some melted chocolate chips for the squares of chocolate. It came from a Kraft Family magazine. You could use any brownie mix as long as it makes a 13x9 brownie. -- posted by Margie99

Mint Surprise Cookies

Tue, 18 Dec 2007 19:41:39 -0500

This cookie is a Christmas tradition started by my grandmother. She used to always mail them along with her "Minnesota Bars" (#162331). I have a note on the recipe card that it was originally a winner in Pillsbury's 1st Grand National by Miss Laura Rott of Naperville, Illinois. (One bite and you'll know why it won.) The original recipe called for one package of Rockwood Chocolate Mint Wafers. I've never been able to find them in the store so I use Andes Mint Baking Pieces. I'm sure you could also melt regular chocolate chips and add a little mint flavoring as well. I posted the "refrigerator cookie" method because I think it's easier. You can also chill dough for just two hours, then enclose chocolate in 1 tbsp. of dough. Bake according to directions. COOKING TIME INCLUDES FOUR HOURS OF CHILLING. -- posted by Empire920

Snow Balls (Oreo Balls or Oreo Truffles)

Fri, 21 Dec 2007 02:00:35 -0500

O-O-O good. If you like Oreo cookies, you'll love these truffle-like cookies (or are they candy?). I got this recipe from Brenda C at a cookie exchange in 2006, and it's made it to the top of my easy/yummy sweets list. -- posted by AngieME

Lemon Fruit Swirls

Wed, 26 Dec 2007 19:00:25 -0500

Another potential candidate for my 2008 holiday trays courtesy of Sunset magazine. Love cookies using lemon and/or dried fruit and swirls are such a pretty addition to a cookie assortment. The suggested storage time on this cookie is short, so my plan is to make and freeze the dough well ahead and bake just a day before assembling trays. -- posted by justcallmetoni

Holiday Rainbow Cookies

Thu, 03 Jan 2008 00:49:54 -0500

Chocolate & Prune Refrigerator Bars

Sat, 09 Feb 2008 12:43:48 -0500

Made these for a friend for her birthday (she loves prunes) and I guess they didn't last long...easy and quick. From Best Ever Three & Four Ingredient Cookbook. They came out rather thin; adding more chocolate wouldn't hurt, I think. Also I recommend lining the pan with parchment paper or spraying with cooking spray so that the bars are easier to remove. Cooking time is chilling time. I don't know why, but recipezaar insists that the ingredient be listed as "prune", not "prunes." -- posted by Shalabhanjika

Kathy's Soft Sugar Cookies

Wed, 13 Feb 2008 16:42:18 -0500

This is a recipe I got from my awesome mother-in-law. We used to always make them around Christmas and have lots of fun together. She was the one who inspired the baker and cook in me so these are very special to me. It would not be Christmas if I didn't make these at least once! The dough needs to refrigerate overnight. I frost these with "Recipe#201364". -- posted by Lainey6605

Sablés Normandes à La Cannelle

Tue, 19 Feb 2008 01:21:41 -0500

Sablés are sometimes called French butter cookies. The name 'Sablé' is French for "sand", which refers to the sandy texture of this delicate and crumbly shortbread-like cookie. The cookie originated in Normandy hence the 'normandes'. 'À la cannelle' means literally "has cinnamon". So these are Cinnamon Cookies, and they are delicious! Notes: Hard-boiled eggs-Contrary to popular belief eggs should never be boiled they should instead be "simmered" for 12-15 minutes depending on the size of the egg Mixing-I highly suggest mixing using your hands, this will melt the butter and allow the mix to become dough Buttered Baking Sheet: Yes, you need to use real butter NOT cooking spray Rolling: I have gotten away with rolling individual balls and flattening them with a cup bottom but if you have time I suggest rolling them out These are some of my favorite cookies and they tend to disappear fast so I always make double. Plus these cookies can be made into any shape so they are great for holidays! -- posted by MyBentoOfAwesomeness

Kittencal's Slice N' Bake Refrigerator Cookies

Wed, 01 Oct 2008 22:09:00 -0400

This is buttery tender dough that produces an excellent flavored and textured cookie --- servings is only estimated it will depend on how thick you slice the dough, I get about 12-15 cookies per roll if sliced just over a 1/4-inch thick, you may of coarse slice them thinner or thicker if desired and adjust baking time slightly --- plan ahead the dough needs to chill for about 4 or more hours or until very firm and may be frozen for up to 3 months. -- posted by KITTENCAL

Fruity Rice Krispie Treats / Squares - Kids No Bake

Tue, 14 Oct 2008 00:25:56 -0400

My kids love Rice Krispie Treats. The problem for us is finding marshmallows suitable for our diet - this recipe uses white chocolate instead! You can use honey or maple syrup in place of the golden syrup or sub with light corn syrup. The walnuts add protein, apricots add betacarotene & the oats add iron and slow release energy (carbs). You could add some extra goodness like various seeds or use muesli in place of the oats.......feel free to experiment! -- posted by Um Safia

These little cookies look great when you draw different designs on them with regular and sparkly icing. I suggest using those prepackaged tubes of fine point icing for these cookies, but feel free to use any icing you want to. You will need to have something to pipe the cing on with. You will also need a 2 1/2 inch round cookie cutter for this. -- posted by Jess4Freedom

Mochaccino Biscotti Dunkers

Mon, 16 Feb 2009 01:40:53 -0500

Perhaps my favorite biscotti recipe; crisp chocolatey goodness with a hint of espresso, while being relatively low-fat to boot! Easily lasts for a month in an airtight container, and tastes best as a dessert or a breakfast goodie dipped in coffe. For lactose-free variations, select semi sweet chocolate that is made without milk, such as ghiradelli or valrhona. *TIME INCLUDES REFRIDGERATION* Taken from "Chocolate Chip Cookies" by Dede Wilson (all chocoholics must own this book). -- posted by Oenophilly

This recipe is similar to rocky road treats because of its crunch and crunch! There are many things you can add to make it crunchier as well! This recipe is open for experimentation! And the best part is, for those of you (like me) without an oven, this doesn't require one! LOL -- posted by Annicka Shadowing

You'll want to slowly savor the flavor of this outrageously decadent brownie treat. It's a sinfully delicious combination of toasted nuts and the essecne of deep, rich chocolate. This moist, liquor-spiked delight is sure to bring gasps of soulful delight! -- posted by Feast Your Eyes!

Fluffy "cut-Out" Sugar Cookies

Fri, 20 Nov 2009 15:49:52 -0500

Have you ever had those sugar cookies at publix that are really fluffy and cake like? Well hear is that recipe. I think its the sour cream that makes it so fluffy. I also roll them out maybe 1/4 in thick and under cook them a little but thats probably a personal preference. They do take a little work just like any cut-out cookies but this is something that anytime I ask someone in our family what I can bring for dessert they always say this! I use my kitchen aid but before that I would use my hand blender as long as I could and then mix the last part of the flour in by hand. Hope you enjoy. -- posted by 998171
