Mexican Crinkles

Mon, 11 Feb 2008 03:03:41 -0500

I'm always on the lookout for a good cookie. These are better than good - they're great! They are crispy outside, chewy inside, chocolatey and with just a hint of cinnamon. They also have that "gritty" texture that can be found in many of the cookies from Mexican bakeries. I found this recipe in "Divine Cuisine" compiled by the Episcopal Churchwomen of St. Paul's Church in DeKalb, Illinois, where my in-laws used to attend. They were submitted by Helen Bishop. Yum!! -- posted by acerast

Candy Bar Cookies

Fri, 22 Feb 2008 20:16:41 -0500

These cookies are absolutely amazing! My aunt made these one Christmas and I fell in love with them. They are so easy to make, and hey are always a party pleaser. You can also use any kind of mini candy bar. I have used mini Twix before. And I am sure 3 Musketeers and Milky Way are just as great! This original recipe was only for 24 cookies. So you can cut every thing in half. -- posted by Lhelms811

Spicy Mexican Cookies (Chocolate)

Fri, 22 Feb 2008 20:44:19 -0500

If youre looking for a chocolate cookie with a real kick, look no further. These cookies are a perfect marriage of chocolate and spicy. They are firm, but chewy-melt-in-your-mouth. For comparison, I lean toward medium heat when it comes to salsa. This recipe is adapted from an excellent food blog called Baking Bites. -- posted by A.B. Hall

Amazingly Soft Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies

Party Chocolate Marshmallow Squares

Mon, 25 Feb 2008 02:01:11 -0500

I am astonished to be the first one submitting these with a boxed brownie mix which I normally never eat since they are nothing compared to the real thing as in my recipe #268933 but in this recipe they don't seem to detract at all so you can put this together easily. I cannot begin to count how many times I've made this. If there are ever any leftovers people fight over taking them home. This also freezes beautifully. Brownies vary by brand so just follow directions on the package ignoring my instructions since the site required that I put something in (oil, eggs, water) -- posted by scancan

Melt-In-Your-Mouth Chocolate Chip Cookies

Fri, 16 May 2008 02:54:06 -0400

This is actually my own variation of a Crisco recipe, made without Crisco (trying to be healthier and ditch the hydrogenated fats!) I sub butter and veggie oil instead, and you still end up with a soft, chewy cookie. Believe me, no one knows they're better for you and they just gobble them up. :) -- posted by SJay93

Cherry-Chocolate Cookies

Thu, 19 Jun 2008 21:26:43 -0400

There are other cherry chocolate cookies on here but this one is a little different. I got this recipe from a community cookbook in the 1980s. I don't really like maraschino cherries so I either put a pecan or walnut half on top or I just frost them as is. 2/3 cup butter is 10 and 2/3 tablespoons. -- posted by hungrykitten

Low Calorie Edible Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough

Wed, 09 Jul 2008 02:17:13 -0400

If you love cookie dough, like to eat it raw, and are looking to cut out a few calories while still enjoying your favorite treat this recipe is for you! After searching high and low for this recipe I ended up making it myself. For only half the calories of regular recipes this is a tasty while still diet-friendly treat. Yum! I like to divide the whole recipe into portions, like 8 portions for 340 calories each. Or make only 1/4 batch and divide it in two which keeps me from eating the whole batch! -- posted by Chef #236862

Chocolate Orange Rounds

Thu, 17 Jul 2008 18:03:54 -0400

Found in "Better Homes & Gardens: Favorite Bars & Cookies" that I found at a yardsale. This recipe jumped out at me immediately. I think it is one of the most impressive cookie recipes I've ever made. I've shortened the steps, as I don't think the level of presentation they ask for is needed. Enjoy! -- posted by MechanicalJen

Andes Mint Cookies

Sun, 20 Jul 2008 03:31:45 -0400

These cookies are light and flaky, and delicious still warm from the oven. They were a huge hit during the holidays, and one batch made enough to bring to multiple parties. They freeze well, and can be made soft again with a few minutes in a warm oven. -- posted by Kim_150

Thick and Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies

Sun, 17 Aug 2008 23:53:35 -0400

Published January 1, 1996 from Cooksillustrated.com: These truly chewy chocolate chip cookies are delicious served warm from the oven or cooled. To ensure a chewy texture, leave the cookies on the cookie sheet to cool. You can substitute white, milk chocolate, or peanut butter chips for the semi- or bittersweet chips called for in the recipe. In addition to chips, you can flavor the dough with one cup of nuts, raisins, or shredded coconut. -- posted by 8elbows

Midnight Espresso Crinkles

Fri, 19 Sep 2008 16:20:56 -0400

These cookies are like fudgy brownies -- slightly soft when done. They won't feel set if you gently tap them, but the tops will look dry. Semisweet chocolate chips can be substituted for the dark chips. This recipe is from the Pillsbury Fall Baking booklet that I found in the checkout aisle of the grocery store. -- posted by senseicheryl

I adapted this from http://www.recipezaar.com/The-Best-Oatmeal-Cookies-Ive-Found-113788 when i craved cookies but had no eggs. Surprise your allergic friends! They store well so can be made well in advance but they tend to disappear quickly. -- posted by Shoga-chan

I'm adding these to my gift baskets this year. I found the recipe in Better Homes and Gardens. They sound tasty and very easy, and they are quite cute for the kids, (and adults alike!) I like the fact they can be made a week ahead. The cooks at the magazine used Oreo brand sandwich cookies. I can get lollipop sticks at my little cake shop in town. I'll post pictures!

A great holiday treat! This is a delicious low-fat cookie recipe from the great cookbook, "One Smart Cookie: All Your Favourite Cookies, Squares, Brownies and Biscotti... with less fat !", by Julie Van Rosendaal. Dough must chill for an hour before rolling out. An alternative (make-ahead) way to make this recipe is as an icebox cookie. Shape the dough into a 12 long log, wrap in waxed paper or plastic wrap and freeze for up to 3 months. Slice log into 1/4 slices and bake as directed. -- posted by blucoat

Received this recipe from an online game I play on Pogo! Tried it and altered it a bit, at first the instructions called for a long cooking time which achieved tasty but crispy done cookies. Then I continued to alter the time for the following batches. Basically watch for them to brown and the browner they get the crispier they are. -- posted by DeCielo

Chocolate Walnut Rugelach

Wed, 17 Dec 2008 01:22:14 -0500

These are delicious, traditional Jewish crescent shaped pastries or cookies. They are almost like denser, mini chocolate croissants. This recipe really simplifies what can sometimes be a complicated treat to prepare. The recipe is from "The Clueless Baker: Baking from Scratch", by Evelyn Raab. It's a great cookbook for beginning bakers. (For a faster method of rolling the cookies: roll the dough out into a slightly more rectangular shape. Sprinkle with filling, then roll the whole thing up in one piece, starting at one of the long sides. Cut into 1-inch (2 cm) sections and place, seam side down, on an ungreased cookie sheet to bake.) -- posted by blucoat

Chocolate Crinkle Cookies

Tue, 23 Dec 2008 00:54:04 -0500

These are crisp on the surface with a soft and gooey centre. These are great for the holiday season as the white powdered sugar contrasts dramatically with the deep brown chocolate crevices and they look as though they are covered in snow. The recipe is from "Bakewise: The Hows and Whys of Successful Baking" by Shirley Corriher. These are Shirley's favourite cookies! She is a food scientist (as well as a cook) thus her recipes are very reliable. The dough needs to be refrigerated for a few hours or overnight. Makes 3 to 5 dozen, depending on size. -- posted by blucoat

Chocolate-Dipped Coffee Kisses

Wed, 24 Dec 2008 01:40:57 -0500

You can buy the white, medium, or dark chocolate disks at your local grocery store, either in the bulk section, bakery area, or baking aisle. If you prefer, you can melt together 6 ounces of chips or baking chocolate (except unsweetened) and 1 tablespoon of shortening in place of the candy coating. -- posted by blucoat

Ring of Fire Chocolate-Chipotle-Chocolate Chip Cooki

Fri, 12 Jun 2009 02:11:37 -0400

This amazing recipe comes from the foodie blog "Dirty Sugar Cookies" by a very funny writer named Ayun Halliday. Her recipes are always yummy and the text that accompanies them often makes me laugh out loud. I'm posting this here because I'm terrified she might close/end/cancel her blog and then I will have lost this recipe. The cookies are softish, lumpy, crisp around the edges, very dark and chocolaty with a really nice bite from the chipotle powder. They are from the Dec 21/06 posting which you can read here http://dirtysugarcookies.blogspot.com/2006/12/ring-of-fire-dirty-chocolate-chipotle.html. The recipe as she writes it is waaaaay funnier than the way I've typed it here. Either way it tastes great. -- posted by Marysdottir

Chocolate Pecan Cookies (Better Than Publix Bakery)

Fri, 11 Sep 2009 10:37:54 -0400

This recipe makes twelve 3 ½ inch cookies with a dark chocolate color speckled with pecan pieces. The cookies are more flat than puffy, and have a moist interior, and an exterior with just a slight crunch. After many attempts and tweaks, this does it for me. I mention some brand names in the ingredients list because some brands can make a big difference in the outcome (depending on your taste buds). Note, I have no interest or affiliation with any brand. -- posted by TyroCook

Urban Legend Chocolate Chip Cookies

Mon, 14 Sep 2009 16:34:03 -0400

This recipe circulated in an "urban legend" email about 5 years ago. As the legend went, a customer in a fancy restaurant asked for a cookie recipe and was charged $250 on their bill for it at the end of the meal. The legend turned out to be false, but these remain the BEST chocolate chip cookies I have ever tasted, and certainly the best to ever come out of my kitchen! NOTE: Do NOT leave out the oats. Even if you don't necessarily like oats in your cookies, they will not bake right without them. Also make sure that the cookies are SMALL - roll them up into balls that are a bit smaller than a golf ball. They don't bake right if you make them too big. Recipe can be halved. -- posted by keyboardcat

Peanut Butter Surprise

Wed, 21 Oct 2009 11:59:55 -0400

I'm posting the recipes from 'The Dream Team' gathered by The Virginian-Pilot and submitted for judging in this year's state fair. They were printed in the 10/14/09 edition of the newspaper. These cookies won 1st place at the 2009 Virginia State Fair. They were submitted by Deana Hubbell of Virginia Beach. *NOTE - If you have time to partially freeze the peanut butter balls, before covering in dough, they will probably be a bit easier to work with...freezing time is NOT included in prep time. -- posted by alligirl

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
