Coconut-Almond Macaroons

Thu, 29 Mar 2007 20:58:52 -0400

Chewy, flavorful cookies for Passover that are not excessively sweet. They are dense and full of flavor. Try dipping them in chocolate for an extra decadent treat. I prefer them with date sugar, which is more nutritious than cane sugar. They are gluten-free and non-gebrokts. -- posted by What's Cooking?

These delicious not-too-sweet (like me) cookies are made with browned butter and pistachios. So while the butter content may make you want to break out the treadmill, you can alleviate some of the guilt by telling yourself how healthy nuts are for you. In fact, the more nuts you put in, the less butter will fit into each cookie, so by the time you're done with all the psychology, you're eating DIET FOOD. ;) You can store these cookies airtight for up to 5 days. (I think stomachs qualify as "airtight".) Many thanks to the sharp eye of a member for noting my omission! The ingredients are now correct. -- posted by Sandi (From CA)

Ginger Cookies

Wrote this recipe down while watching Food Network while recovering from surgery. It was featured in the "Food Network Caters Your Hawaiian Wedding". This was one of Paula Deen's contributions. I love ginger cookies and can't wait until I can get in the kitchen and whip up a batch. They looked SOO good! -- posted by Redneck Epicurean

Sesame Seed Cookies

Fri, 25 May 2007 15:03:41 -0400

Though these are reminiscent of the traditional Greek or Italian cookies of the same name, the recipes originates in the US south and traces its roots to Africa. Nutty toasted sesame seeds are included in the dough as well as serving as the crispy coating. They are now commonly served at Kwanzaa celebrations. I have not tried this yet but am posting for ZWT 3. -- posted by justcallmetoni

In Australia we call cookies biscuits. This recipe is from Super Food Ideas and the recipe states that it makes 28 cookies. I actually got 48 cookies from the mix but I do make my cookies smaller as I have two small girls that like one for each hand ;) These make quite a sweet biscuit. -- posted by Jewelies

From Simply Delicioso with Ingrid Hoffmann on foodtv.com. These are a Mexican sweet that I have had a fairs and carnivals. I was thrilled to see it on TV and how easy they were to make using puff pastry. A healthier version because they are baked, not fried like the fair food. -- posted by KelBel

White Chocolate M&m Cookies

Fri, 19 Oct 2007 00:39:37 -0400

These are quintessential bake sale cookies. This recipe will give you those beautiful 4-inch cookies you see at the bakery section of your grocery store. They are great for holidays because you can purchase the special holiday colored M&Ms. The recipe only makes 18 cookies, but I have doubled and even tripled it with success. If you decide to make multiple batches at one time then you will need to break out the big Kitchenaid mixer!! -- posted by AZ to AK

Nut Horns

Fri, 19 Oct 2007 17:30:26 -0400

I have never posted a recipe I haven't tried before, but I was going through an envelope of old recipes -- clippings, cards, fading paper, you know the sort of things that collect in the back of drawers. I found this one on a water-spotted and yellow paper that's ready to crumble apart. I think it may have come from an aunt, but it may have been from a woman in the church I grew up in. I remember having them at Christmas. Since the paper is crumbling I figured I'd better post it to keep it safe. THE YIELD IS A GUESS. THE SIZES OF THE CANS WERE NOT SPECIFIED. I tried to come up with the standard, US can sizes. I'll edit both once I've made it and correct it. If anyone makes it before I do please tell me how many it made for you. -- posted by 3KillerBs

Oatmeal Barley Cookies (Wheat Free)

Sun, 21 Oct 2007 00:41:42 -0400

Delicious, chewy, relatively healthy oatmeal cookies that do not contain wheat flour. Chocolate chips, raisins, dried cranberries and butterscotch chips all make great add-ins, you can also add more than the amount specified in the recipe. These cookies travel very well in lunchboxes and backpacks. The original recipe came from the Rocking P Ranch in Nanton, Alberta. I found it in a cookbook called The Cowboy Country Cookbook that my dad bought for me at the UFA in Falher, Alberta, not the place you would think to find a great recipe. -- posted by Lille

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

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

Original Be-Ro Melting Moments-Afternoon Tea Biscuits or Cookies

Wed, 05 Mar 2008 18:42:55 -0500

These are great little "light as a feather" and meltingly crisp English style biscuits, or cookies. This recipe is the slightly adapted recipe from the Be-Ro Flour cookbook - they suggest lard, but I don't "do" lard! Melting Moments ALWAYS made an appearance on my grandmother and mum's afternoon tea table, and we also had them popped into our lunch boxes for school. The recipe is SO easy to rustle up and they stay crisp and fresh for up to 5 days in an airtight tin. You can roll them in coconut or oats, I prefer coconut - but I am sure they would be just as nice with oats, which is a suggested alternative. Children and "big children" love these, and they really are melting moments, great with a cuppa English tea! -- posted by French Tart

This is another of my memories from childhood. I made these cookies back in the '50's when I was quite young. Mother gave me the cookbook where they were written inside, I was still quite young.

These are beautiful little coconut-y flapjack type biscuits. This recipe is originally from the 1981 Essex Women's Institute recipe book. I have very fond memories of my best friend and I making these in her kitchen when we were young, getting flour and grubby little fingerprints all over the page! Amazing. NB. These will spread like crazy in the oven, so don't worry if they turn out looking like crazy splodges of baked goodness, or squares. Leave a good bit of space between each 'walnut' to allow for spread. -- posted by Jaxies

These are crisp on the surface with a soft and gooey centre.

The recipe is from "Bakewise: The Hows and Whys of Successful Baking" by Shirley Corriher. These are Shirley's favourite cookies!

Really great cookies. Brown Sugar can be replaced with white sugar if you don't have, they are just kinds of pale. -- posted by Gingy Cookies

Passover Almond Thumbprint Cookies

Thu, 02 Apr 2009 12:01:01 -0400

These delicate little almond cookies, from "Gourmet" (April 2006), are really delicious. They don't taste like Passover cookies and are good enough to eat year-round. The contrast between the crisp cookie and gooey-sweet jam is pretty addictive; you may want to double the recipe. You can substitute a whole almond for the jam, if you prefer. If you like marzipan, you'll love these! And they are quick to whip up. Dough requires 1/2 hour to chill. -- posted by blucoat

Crunchy Chocolate Chip Cookies

Mon, 01 Jun 2009 11:23:04 -0400

I know there are a lot of chocolate chip cookie recipes here on zaar already but this is different. :) These cookies are puffy and crunchy rather than flat and gooey. They are only lightly sweet and can be varied easily. Think of adding in chopped nuts, oats, coconut flakes etc. -- posted by Lalaloula

Raisin-Sunflower Seed-Vanilla-Cookies

Thu, 04 Jun 2009 10:18:28 -0400

This recipe makes for crunchy little morsels with a distinct vanilla taste. Originally the recipe called for hazelnuts, but I cant have those, so I changed it to roasted, caramelized sunflowerseeds. Feel free to use nuts or seeds of your choice, though. -- posted by Lalaloula

Million Dollar Cookies

Thu, 04 Jun 2009 10:28:05 -0400

These were my favorite cookies for quite some time. They're super moist and chewy and just plain delicious. You can substitute the chocolate chips with smarties or m&ms and they're even better :) Hope you enjoy these. -- posted by Taste-Tester

Energy Bites (Mock Larabar)

Wed, 17 Jun 2009 13:29:52 -0400

Energy bars like Larabars are expensive ($1.75/bar) to buy. But you can easily make them using healthy ingredients. I made mine into small bites, vs. a bar. You can vary the ingredients using chopped dates, dried cherries or raisens or whatever dried fruit you have on hand. Yesterday at Costco I bought dried spiced apples and cranberries for under $3. I also buy my dried blueberries at Costco. Enjoy! -- posted by Jan Marie

Gramma's "i Told You So!" Peanut Butter Cookies

Sun, 12 Jul 2009 09:32:14 -0400

Fast, cheap and easy! I was making peanut butter cookies the hard way, had a long talk with Gramma and she scolded me in her way and said "Dear, this is all you need, and here's what you do...." After making her cookies a called to say how great they were, all she said was "I told you so!". So easy my kids make them by themselves now (with a little supervision) ! -- posted by momzers

Chunky Chocolate Chip Cookies

Thu, 20 Aug 2009 16:06:06 -0400

Using canola oil instead of butter slashes sat fat, while switching to whole whole wheat flour, plus adding oats, doubles the fiber. The result: a crunchy cookie with a chewy center. I found this recipe in Prevention magazine. I have not tried this recipe, but I'm posting it for safe keeping. -- posted by internetnut

Yum Yum Yo Yo Biscuits

Mon, 24 Aug 2009 01:49:14 -0400

Adapted from a recipe I found on the Simply Great Meals website. Faced a dilemma in settling on a name for these. They are n-e-v-e-r called Yo Yo Biscuits, just Yo Yos... the Simply Great Meals website called them Yo Yo's, but the apostrophe makes no sense, and without the apostrophe the name looks like Yo YOS - which sounds silly and is NOT what they are known as! Conversions: 150g = just under 5oz; 60g = 2oz. Personally, I'd prefer to omit the food coloring. Not anti-pink, just prefer to avoid unnecessary chemicals. Seems to me that even a 1/2 teaspoon of cherry juice would achieve the pinkness if that's what you're after. The slivered almonds are not generally found in a traditional Yo Yo: I've added those. I'm of the belief that yummy nut never goes astray, be it in sweet or savoury dishes. -- posted by bluemoon downunder

Peanut Butter Blossoms

Mon, 31 Aug 2009 11:32:55 -0400

I found this recipe from Home Cookin' With Dave's Mom (David Letterman), and it's a keeper. I made some with almond kisses and some with regular, and I used half chunky and half creamy peanut butter. I also substituted butter for shortening because it's what I had. It's a dangerous peanut butter cookie. Serving size is estimated and assumes one cookie, but good luck with that. -- posted by AmyZoe

Double-Delight Peanut Butter Cookies

Mon, 14 Sep 2009 15:48:04 -0400

My dad is a PB fanatic so I made these for Father's Day, he loved them! Inside the cookie is a ball of PB & powdered sugar and the outside is rolled in chopped peanuts, cinnamon and sugar. I got this recipe from Pillsbury's $1 million grand prize winner in 2008. -- posted by Rollin in the Dough!

Crispy Yummy Chocolate Oatmeal Cookies

Mon, 21 Sep 2009 00:59:23 -0400

So, it was Sunday and my sis and me really wanted to have a nice, comforting cookie to sweeten the day with. We wanted it fast and without having to go to the neighbours for a fancy ingredient. Well, this is the recipe we found. It completely fit the bill. Hope youll enjoy it, too! :) -- posted by Lalaloula

Peanut Butter Cookies

Fri, 20 Nov 2009 16:44:39 -0500

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
