Mon, 19 Oct 2009 21:05:19 -0400

Soft Banana Cookies With Splenda Sugar Blend by Kim

Mon, 19 Oct 2009 21:07:44 -0400

This recipe produces soft, cookies that taste even better the next day. This is a great recipe to use for family functions or just to use up your browning bananas. A half cup of chocolate chips or walnuts make great additions. If you are skeptical that these taste great with Splenda (you can't even tell), then add 1/2 cup of sugar in place of the Sugar Blend. These cookies will be a hit. -- posted by KRice, PA

Weight Watchers 2 Point Brownies- Awesome! (Ww)

Sat, 24 Oct 2009 02:58:02 -0400

I came up with this after reading a ton of reviews of WW brownies and trying a bunch of recipes that are not really low point or not really good...its very HG inspired. Don't be scared of the pumpkin, its nutritious, adds moisture and makes the brownie very dense. I ran it through recipe builder using the Betty Crocker low-fat brownie mix. Another mix may alter the points. -- posted by CowgurWife

Asa Ransom House Brownie Mania

Sat, 24 Oct 2009 03:13:32 -0400

In 1799, the Holland Land Company offered lots 10 miles apart in what is now Clarence, New York, to "any proper man who would build and operate a tavern upon it". A young silversmith named Asa Ransom, had been plying his trade in the little fur trading post on the shores of Lake Erie. He was among the first to accept this opportunity and in the hollow of the ledge, near a pine grove, built a log home & tavern. In 1803, he built a grist mill, the first in Erie County. Over time, the business has evolved into a charming inn noted for it's authenticity, hospitality and cuisine. -- posted by Molly53

Pink Brownies Lite & Fluffy

Mon, 26 Oct 2009 13:10:17 -0400

Adapted from Recipe #179934. I'm sure this would do great if you doubled it to make cupcakes! Great kid-pleaser. Originally called for a whole stick of butter but I halved the butter and subbed the other half with applesauce. Kept the moisture and flavor, but not the calories! :) And if you want to make these into "real" brownies? Use chocolate Nesquik powder and beat in some chocolate chips towards the end. Or...vanilla Nesquik to make blondies! These are VERY soft and cake-like-- would make an awesome cake/cupcakes. -- posted by the80srule

There's something about these cookies....no matter if you prefer soft cookies or crisp cookies, rich cookies or bland cookies....you'll keep coming back to these goodies! I was definitely surprised to see that these were not already posted on Zaar, but excited to add a piece of my family history to the pot!

A nice soft in the middle, crunchy on the outside, cinnamon flavored treat- perfect for your holiday trays- everyone will like them! Plus- these ingredients are so readily available that you can literally make fresh cookies in less than 45 minutes! -- posted by Houseblend

Sugar Cookie Cut-Outs

Sun, 08 Nov 2009 09:00:53 -0500

I had misplaced this recipe and recently found it again. When DD was in Kindergarten the children had to take turns bringing a snack to school for everyone to share and DD loved to bring these cookies. I love this recipe because it doesn't require refrigeration before rolling out and because the cookies always turned out beautifully. The recipe is from a little booklet called Wilton Christmas Recipes & Ideas. Note: If you're using margarine, be sure to use the hard margarine that comes in a brick like butter, not soft tub margarine. -- posted by Dreamer in Ontario

A dear friend shared this recipe with me many years ago. The recipe became a favorite & I have used it for everything over the years. It has made it way to many a Girl Scout mtg, school party, potluck, etc. Tea Cakes became my family's favorite cookie at the holidays. It isn't Christmas without a platter of these & a bag for everyone to take home. They are good plain and sweeter with the glaze & icing. -- posted by Susie D

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

Festive Sugar Plums - Old Fashioned Sweetmeats

Tue, 01 Dec 2009 16:37:27 -0500

I love the Nutcracker Ballet and the music that accompanies it, especially the dance of the Sugar Plum Fairies! These fabulous little festive sweetmeats are based on a recipe that I adapted from Delia Smith's latest and BRILLIANT cookbook, "Happy Christmas". I have made these TWICE already - as a pre-Christmas dummy run, and they are SO easy as well as being extremely delicious! Sugar plums are mentioned in all forms of literature; most famously in The Night Before ChristmasThe children were nestled, all snug in their beds, While visions of sugar plums danced in their heads". However, they are a VERY old kind of sweet/candy, and I have traced some recipes right back to the Middle Ages in one guise or another, usually with minced meat hence sweet meat. This recipe can be made as a boozy after dinner adult treat, or with orange juice so the children can dream of them dancing in their heads! NB: These are great fun to make with the children, as they are easy as well as being "no-cook". If you plan to make them for gifts or to sell, pack them into attractive cellophane bags, glass jars or boxes and add a pretty ribbon as well as a label of ingredients and storage details. This recipe is part of my Old Fashioned Sweet Shop collection of recipes, sweets, candies, fudges, sugar plums and chocolates! -- posted by French Tart

The Best Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies!!

Tue, 01 Dec 2009 18:20:05 -0500

The title says it all!! I can never resist these bits of heavenly bliss! They are best made with a standing Kitchen Aid mixer (other brands are just fine too!). The recipe says to chill for an hour, but I usually chill the dough overnight & I think they taste even better. This recipe is great for if you are making cookies for an event & want to split up the time by making the batter at night & baking them the next day. Please enjoy! -- posted by Chef amfox

Rich and Buttery Angel Wings

Thu, 03 Dec 2009 11:43:54 -0500

My mom got this recipe from a card at the grocery store about 15 years ago and it's become a family favorite! I've tweaked it a little to make it my own. These are great fresh but are out of this world if allowed to "age" for a week to ten days in a container at room temperature.

Best Rum Balls (America's Test Kitchen)

Mon, 14 Dec 2009 15:23:00 -0500

This recipe is from Christoper Kimball of Cook's Illustrated and America's Test Kitchen. It makes about five dozen rum balls that are intense, fudgy, chewy, complex, and balanced. Recipe can be halved or doubled. Plan ahead, since these are best when left to mellow for at least a few days in the refrigerator. They keep very well and can be stored in the refrigerator for up to a couple of weeks or frozen for up to a few months. Cooking time is refrigeration time. Use vanilla for a non-alcoholic version (sometimes called moon balls). -- posted by blucoat

My husband is the Sugar Cookie king in our family and our grown kids still anxiously ask each year if Dad is making sugar cookies this Christmas :). Ed prefers using insulated cookie sheets. Yield and baking time may vary, depending on rolled dough thickness, the size of the cookie cutters and oven accuracy. NOTE: Chilling time is included in prep time. Overnight refrigeration is best, but if you are in a hurry, you can get by with chilling the dough for at least two hours. Do not skip the chilling step or the cookies may not hold their shape. -- posted by Kat's Mom

Incredible Gluten Free Butter Cookies

Mon, 21 Dec 2009 01:35:23 -0500

These cookies are so delectable it's hard to believe they are gluten free ;-) Shortbread-like and not overly sweet, they keep very well and make a perfect holiday gift! The recipe is a result of experimenting with all kinds of cookie recipes, combining things I liked and then patiently changing the resulting recipe slightly, time after time until it met my expectations. I hope it will meet yours as well :-) The dough is easy to roll out for cutting and also suitable for using a cookie press. I often freeze them raw in large amounts to bake later, but even without freezing these cookies hardly spread. If you need to avoid lactose, you can replace the butter with 4/5 dairy free margarine and 1/5 Ghee so as to have the buttery taste without the lactose. -- posted by Suzy mom to 2

Rachel's Fantabulous Nesquik Peanut Butter Chip Brownies

Mon, 28 Dec 2009 16:46:22 -0500

I love how well Nesquik lends itself to baking! This recipe is wonderful for doubling to take to parties and potlucks. Concocted these based off my Pink Brownies recipe, except no additional cocoa powder is needed because there's already chocolate in them. Prep Notes- you can use self-rising flour if you omit the baking soda and salt; AP and cake flours need them or else it won't come out right. If you take out the butter and use all applesauce, use another 2-3 TB or else there won't be enough moisture. If using just one serving of applesauce, those little Mott's single serves are awesome. Can also sub 3 egg whites for the eggs. And of course, the peanut butter chips are what makes it special, but sub regular chocolate chips for traditional brownies. -- posted by the80srule

These are really great luxury biscuits. Simple to accomplish but just perfect for a night in, picnic, kids lunch boxes or to show off at the next coffee morning! ;P I usually make these in an 8x8 square tin and (when done) cut into 8 long strips, then half each strip - i.e. you should end up with 16: 1 inch wide x 4 inches long, fingers. If you cannot find any freeze dried raspberry pieces then you can use just the sauce for the biscuit, but use an extra teaspoon to get the flavouring. Enjoy! -- posted by JinxTheCat

The note at the bottom of the recipe made it worth keeping all this time & although I have not made this yet I thought that someone may remember them from their childhood. The note reads: "This makes lots & lots of biscuits. My nanna had 5 children during the war and she used it lots so she could feed the children. She never bought biscuits all her life. Nanna always made these for all her grandchildren's birthday parties and they are my favourite biscuits. by Brianne" -- posted by Catherine Robson

Sour Cream Brownies

Mon, 18 Jan 2010 01:42:37 -0500

From The Ultimate Brownie Book. Although decadent to the nth degree, these brownies are actually light because the sour cream leavens that batter, causing them to rise up high in the pan. They will stay fresh for four days. They can be wrapped in wax paper, sealed in a freezer-safe bag, and frozen for up to 4 months. -- posted by BB2011

Peanut Blossom Cookies

Mon, 18 Jan 2010 21:02:57 -0500

Janet Greenwood, a long-lost college friend, gave me her husband, Mark's favorite cookie recipe in the early 70's. She typed it on an index card which I've kept in my cookbook for well over 30 years - using it again and again. I thought I'd post it on Zaar for safe-keeping. For me and my family, this is real comfort food. Janet, if you're out there, give me a shout. -- posted by Marsha Mazz

Mennonite Soft White Cookies

Tue, 02 Feb 2010 09:08:31 -0500

A sugar cookie that is not too sweet, but deliciously soft! I was served cookies like these by a Mennonite couple, and searched desperately for the recipe until I found this one on a Mennonite cooking website! They've been a big hit wherever I've taken them, and they're a family favourite! I've modified the recipe to have coconut on top, like they were first served to me. If necessary, add an extra 1/4-1/2 cup of flour to keep the dough from being too sticky, and if you don't have buttermilk, use 1 cup milk + 1 tsp. vinegar and let stand for 5 minutes before use. The measurements for the icing are approximate, as I don't usually measure the amounts exactly and they aren't given on the recipe site; make more if you need/like more! Enjoy! -- posted by Nimmireth

Bisquick Chocolate Chip Cookies- Just 6 Ingredients!

Tue, 09 Feb 2010 15:16:18 -0500

Classic comfort food. I remember making these in home ec back in the day. God I hated junior high and would never want to relive that torture: but those cookies were good! That good to make me want to remember it. And we didn't keep Bisquick in my house so it was an especially great delight for me. Makes about 16-24 cookies depending on how big you make them. They may not taste as fine as pure from scratch cookies, but they still taste good and are a time-tested kid pleaser. Can sub vegetable oil or shortening for the butter but the butter tastes better. And to make these a tad fancier, I suggest using 1/2 tsp vanilla and 1/2 tsp almond extract. -- posted by the80srule
