Chocolate Madeleines

Thu, 24 Sep 2009 13:49:02 -0400

Madeleine is a shell-shaped confection that is a lovely marriage of small cake and cookie, For true madeleines, you need madeleine molds, which are sold at nearly all cookware stores. However, any mold that holds a quarter cup of batter will work, although the results won't be immediately recognizable as madeleines. But, just as a rose by any other name smells as sweet, so does a madeleine in any other shape taste as sweet. -- posted by Chef mariajane

Oatmeal Raisin Breakfast Cookies

Wed, 30 Sep 2009 12:04:00 -0400

This recipe has only four common ingredients, is easy to double or triple, and makes a good meal for those who are on a diet. Even better, it's vegan! In my opinion the cookies taste best right out of the oven, so don't hesitate to serve immediately. (; The ingredient measurements are estimates, since I make this without measuring anything but the oats. If they aren't sweet enough, add your sweetener of choice. -- posted by Qzxyntop

Tuscan Almond Cookies

Wed, 30 Sep 2009 15:36:27 -0400

In Tuscany these are the obligatory ending to any lunch. Small, dense-textured and dry, they are served with Vin Santo, a sweet and strongly perfumed wine made from grapes that have been left to dry in the cellars. The custom is to dip the cookies in the Vin Santo. The recipe is very simple and the oookies will keep in an airtight container for several months. -- posted by Chef mariajane

Pecan - Graham Cookies

Fri, 02 Oct 2009 15:52:54 -0400

These cookies are good on their own, also delicious as the base for about 20 gooey s'mores. To make the s'mores, you need about 20 marshmallows and 20 1-inch squares of bittersweet or semisweet chocolate. Don't forget to toast the marshmallows. -- posted by Chef mariajane

Peanut Butter Cookies With Turbinado Sugar

Fri, 02 Oct 2009 16:09:55 -0400

This is a great cookie to pack for a lunch or to take on a hike. Whole wheat flour and turbinado sugar give the cookie a wonderful texture as well as making it lower in fat and higher in protein for a peanut butter cookie that is more nutritious. TIP: The natural peanut butter is what gives these cookies a rich nutty taste. Made from only freshly roasted peanuts and no sugar, it makes these cookies not too sweet allowing the flavor of the peanuts to shine - -- posted by Chef mariajane

Almond Cookies

Wed, 07 Oct 2009 14:19:08 -0400

Here is a little piece of history for you - The almond has an interesting history in China. The sweet almond was already in cultivatoin in the late Tang dynasty (AD 618-906), having been brough to China from Russian Turkestan and central Asia. The bitter almond is a local nut, which is actually the kernel of the native apricot. It is used extensively in Chinese herbal medicine for respiratory dysfunction and is also added in carefully prescruibed quantity (because of it's slightly toxic properties in its raw state and its strong bitter taste) to "superior" soups such as double-boiled quail and ginseng soups. In desserts, it is often ground and combined with milk. The technique of baking, as in the following recipe, is borrowed from the West. - This recipe came from "The Heritage of Chinese Cooking". I hope you enjoy these little tastes of wonder!! -- posted by Chef mariajane

Coconut Shortbread

Wed, 14 Oct 2009 14:07:34 -0400

This buttery biscuit cake of Scottish origin derives its name from its crumbly texture, which is achieved by minimal handling during the mixing of the ingredients, thereby "shortening" the development of toughening proteins in the flours. The recipe given here elaborates upon shortbread's traditional simplicity with the addition of coconut for a subtle flavor accent. This recipe came from "Country Inn". -- posted by Chef mariajane

Lime Butter Cookie Wreaths

Mon, 19 Oct 2009 13:13:00 -0400

Found this in the Womans Day Holiday Magazine and it looks so cute I've got to try this for Christmas. Though it shows how to make the wreaths by hand, my guess is that if you have a cookie press could do the same thing with the wreath design. These should look so pretty on a holiday cookie tray. This looks like a lot of work, but hey - the holidays only come once a year right!! When decorating you can use a thin red or green ribbon to tie a bow on top if you really want to be fancy, which is what they did in the magazine -- posted by Bonnie G #2

World's Best Snickerdoodles

Mon, 19 Oct 2009 21:19:03 -0400

Title says it all. DO NOT OVERBAKE THEM, or you will be sorry. Best to pull them out when they look a little raw and let them harden a bit on the cookie sheet. I have given these as gifts, sold them, and made them for guests, but I never have any left over by the end of the day. They are also very pretty, with the nice "broken" top characteristic of Snicks. -- posted by Teresa in CO

Oatmeal Raisin Cookies - Vegan

Mon, 02 Nov 2009 15:26:09 -0500

From Joy of Vegan Baking. These are AMAZING!! In this recipe, the eggs are replaced with ground flax seeds. When using ground flax seed to replace eggs in a baking recipe, the ratio is always 1 TBSP flax seed to 3 TBSP water. Ground flax seed has a bit of a nutty flavor and it is best used in recipes like pancakes, waffles, muffins, breads and oatmeal cookies, and as an added bonus, flax seeds are the most concentrated source of omega-3 fatty acids. -- posted by Kozmic Blues

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

Drommar

Wed, 18 Nov 2009 14:51:40 -0500

This is an almond butter cookie that melts in your mouth! An old Scandinavian recipe,I have been making this cookie for over 50 years: it was one of the first ones that my Swedish Grandmother taught me to make. However, this is NOT the cookie you make when you are running short on time. You must be proactive and do several steps before you can even begin the cookie itself. It is critical to really brown the butter as it's that key ingredient that adds all the flavour. I will make over 100 of these each Christmas: at the start of the baking day I wil brown and cool the butter. At the end of the baking day, I will combine the ingredients and bake it, knowing that these MUST sit out on the counter to cool 100% or they shatter. The next day I repeat the steps. But, these are so worth the little bit of extra preparation; they are the first cookie to disappear from the tray each year. -- posted by The_Swedish_Chef

Chewy Chocolate Gingerbread Cookies

Thu, 19 Nov 2009 22:07:39 -0500

I originally found this recipe on a baking blog, Cookie Baker Lynn. I made one major change to the recipe; melting the chocolate and incorporating it into the batter instead of using them as chunks in the cookie. I searched here and found two recipes for these cookies each giving credit to Martha Stewart's website. Both used chunks of chocolate rather than incorporating in the batter. I think this is a significant enough change to warrant another recipe and to claim my own spin ;) These cookies are thin chewy chocolatey goodness in every bite. Prep time includes chill time. -- posted by invictus

This recipe makes enough for a family reunion (I halved the recipe and still had 4 dozen cookies). I've posted the recipe as originally written. I really like the seasonings--cinnamon, ginger, and cloves. It makes a nice twist on a classic treat. Next time I'll skip the shortening and use real butter (just a personal preference). I'd also dip my fork in white sugar and press them in a criss cross pattern after they come out of the oven instead of before. Recipe courtesy of 2009 Taste of Home Annual Recipes. -- posted by AmyZoe

This was passed on to me by a friend. At the top she had witten: This buttermint sugar cookie recipe is not your common sugar cookie. You like something a little different, so this one is for you." I'm not exactly sure just how she meant that but it sounds good. -- posted by Annacia

Cinnamon Snaps

A wonderfully spiced soft cookie from Taste of Home. My family loves them and I make them each year for Christmas. I have slightly changed the original recipe to use butter instead of shortening. I also double the recipe usually and freeze unbaked cookie ball for later use. -- posted by LisaSharon

Pillow Cookies

Mon, 23 Nov 2009 23:11:08 -0500

I found this in my collection of cookies that I have made in the past for Christmas. I am not sure where the original recipe came from. On the recipe I wrote, "made in '93 - VERY Good!" They are a little labor intensive & I think that is why I don't make them every year. I think I will be making them this year. NOTE: Prep time does not include "resting time" overnight in the refrigerator. NOTE: Estimated yield (can't recall). -- posted by Sweet PQ?

Traditional Scottish Pure Butter Shortbread Cookies - Biscuits

Tue, 24 Nov 2009 13:49:57 -0500

Scotland's favorite tea-time or Christmas Holiday cookie! The very best fresh dairy butter is a requirement in these cookies, for flavor. Make them into squares or "Petticoat Tails", or any shape you wish. Great for gift giving. Our family favorite recipe, adapted from "Having Tea". -- posted by BecR

Pecan Shortbread Cookies

Tue, 24 Nov 2009 18:04:26 -0500

Karen DeMasco beats the dough for these buttery cookies with an entire vanilla bean, so the oils in the pod add deep vanilla flavor. By rolling the dough in turbinado sugar before slicing and baking the cookies, she makes them extra-crispy. (Recipe adapted from The Craft of Baking.) Recipe found on Food & Wine and is a staff favorite. -- posted by JanuaryBride
