Although pecans or almonds are delicious additions to these cookies, there really is no substitute for the mild, buttery taste of macadamias. They usually cost a little more, but they are worth it! -- posted by Chef mariajane

Giant Chocolate Chip Cookies

Fri, 16 Oct 2009 17:35:35 -0400

Crisp, yet chewy and loaded with chocolate chips make these oversized treats the ultimate cookie. Ground oats in the dough contribute to the pleasing texture. Like almost any chocolate chip cookie, these are best eaten the day they are made, but will keep in an airtight container for up 2 days. Use a trigger ice cream scoop the next time you make cookies. It eliminates the messy task of scooping out the dough with your fingers, and makes uniform cookies that bake evenly!! -- posted by Chef mariajane

Chef Joey's Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookies

Mon, 19 Oct 2009 13:26:41 -0400

Don't you just hate it when you come across a great cookie recipe and the instructions are lacking? I sure do. This recipe was one of those. Not to be discouraged, I made these and now can impart what I learned. These cookies are very chewy. Make sure you flatten them to about 1/4" as they don't really spread, but they do rise. Their flavor is very mild even with the chips, nuts and seed additions. The batter is very stiff. I have a little tablespoon measure made by chip clip that has a rubber bottom so I can pop the batter out without it sticking. These cookies would be great dunkers! -- posted by Chef Joey Z.

Basic Vegan Spelt Cookies - Chocolate/Carob Chip

Mon, 19 Oct 2009 13:27:01 -0400

I wanted to make some basic chocolate chip cookies for my kids (vegan & spelt) and found this recipe on http://www.vegfamily.com/vegan-recipes/desserts/spelt-carob-cookies.htm. It goes together really quickly and easily and only has 8 ingredients. I used a light spelt flour, which I think is most suitable for this recipe. They're a little cake-like, as with most vegan cookies...I prefer them this way. Note that the recipe only makes 12 cookies - you could make 24 small ones, but I like the larger size. Use carob or vegan chocolate chips, and I'm sure you could add some nuts and seeds if you choose. Hope you enjoy! -- posted by magpie diner

Whole Wheat and Muesli Chocolate Chippers

Mon, 19 Oct 2009 16:04:18 -0400

I don't know how else to describe these other than "full-bodied and robust." I had some leftover muesli from a recipe I used for this Fall's PAC. Having never eaten muesli (except for my baby's PAC recipe), I decided to make chocolate chip cookies with the leftover muesli. I'm so glad I did. Hope you enjoy these really different AND delicious cookies. P.S. They're healthy, too!!! -- posted by Suzanna Marie

Chocolate Chip, Raisin, Walnut Cookies

Mon, 09 Nov 2009 16:32:32 -0500

These relatively healthy absolutely delicious chocolate chip cookies are a gluten-free adaptation of my favorite chocolate chip cookie. The raisins keep the cookies moist but they are hardly noticeable. It is easiest if you use a pre-made brown rice flour mix (Food Philosopher®) but here is the breakdown of those ingredients*: 1 1/2 cups brown rice flour 1/3 cup potato starch 8 teaspoons tapioca flour 1/2 teaspoon tapioca flour. I have had success with other gluten-free flour mixes but this one works the best for me. -- posted by Yankiwi

The World's Best Oatmeal Toffee Cookies

Wed, 11 Nov 2009 10:29:20 -0500

The softest, chewiest, sweetest oatmeal cookies with the decadent addition of toffee bits. One thing to consider before making this recipe is that the cookies are a tab bit thin and are not sturdy. I still need to alter it, but if you make the dough balls a little taller and less round, they should turn out just fine. The flavor is AMAZING. Recipe from "The Cookie Bible" cookbook. -- posted by Jessa M

Everything Oatmeal Cookies

Wed, 11 Nov 2009 10:56:48 -0500

This recipe made delicious chewy cookies. I know you can't really call cookies healthy but I did what I could to make them a little better. The flours and flax that I use can all be replaced with all purpose flour if you like. Anytime I use raisins I like to soak them for a few minutes in warm water. This plumps and softens them nicely. Just squeeze out the water when you are ready to add them. -- posted by Brandi M

Whoopie Pie

Sat, 14 Nov 2009 18:19:23 -0500

Made from two small chocolate sponge cakes filled with fluffy vanilla icing, whoopie pies have been a lunch-box staple for generations, though their origins are a bit mysterious. Some say they were first created in Pennsylvania Dutch kitchens as a way to put leftover chocolate-cake batter and icing to good use. Regardless of when they were first introduced, these confections have been manufactured commercially since 1927. They became a popular homemade dessert during the late forties and early fifties, and still remain a beloved favorite in New England and Pennsylvania, In this classic recipe, Martha Stewart uses a 1-ounce ice cream scoop to form the cookies, then sandwiches them together with seven-minute frosting. Serve as an after-lunch or dinner treat with a tall glass of milk. -- posted by Chef mariajane

Secret Official Mrs. Field's Chocolate Chip Cookie (Honest!)

Mon, 16 Nov 2009 01:32:13 -0500

This is the real recipe... I promise! I got it from a secret source and I would like to thank him/her for giving it to me. It's INCREDIBLE!! Crispy on the outside and chewy in the inside. To achieve this fantastic cookie, just follow the recipe accurately by measuring (not using the cups).Oh, and don't forget to review how your cookies went! PS:(Honest feedback so maybe I can improve it? haha...) How to soften butter. Cut the stick (or sticks) or butter lengthwise into halves. This will help the butter to soften quicker and evenly. Wait approximately 10 minutes (depending upon how hot your kitchen is). Then, with a finger, press gently on the butter. If it leaves an indent in the butter, the butter is soft enough to start whipping "creaming" it. How to brown butter Start melting butter over medium heat. Use a pan with a light-colored bottom so you can keep track of the color. Swirl the pan occasionally to be sure the butter is cooking evenly. As the butter melts, it will begin to foam. The color will progress from lemony-yellow to golden-tan to, finally, a toasty-brown. Once you smell that nutty aroma, take the pan off the heat and transfer the browned butter into a heat-proof bowl to cool. -- posted by Chef #1447821

Adapted from "How to Make Chocolate Banana Cookies" (http://www.ehow.com/how_11448_make-chocolate-banana.html) to use up my orange marmalade and to be healthier (low sat. fat, high fiber). Turned out delicious, gone very quick. I will also try the banana version on my next batch!! -- posted by milliwuu

I clipped this recipe for no-bake cookies from the newspaper many years ago. I haven't made it yet, but it sounds like it would be good by the list of ingredients. NOTE: Prep time does not include standing (cooling) time. -- posted by Sweet PQ?

(No Egg) Peanut Butter Cookies!

So i ran out of eggs in the middle of baking cookies...so i improvised. i tried a few different methods that each had a distinct flavor. this is the recipe that i found worked the best, but you can very it to your taste as well. 1/2 mashed banana instead of the applesauce gives a great taste as well! -- posted by seabeewife401

Raisin Oatmeal Cookies

Mon, 23 Nov 2009 16:07:39 -0500

We made these at a friend's house during a "baking day", and I must say I was surprised how delicious they were. I'm not a huge raisin lover (I'd rather have grapes), but these were creamy and delicious. We doubled this recipe and added some milk to make them softer. I'll post the recipe exactly as written, but feel free to make any changes you desire. Recipe courtesy of Better Homes and Gardens New Cookbook. -- posted by AmyZoe
