Sugar Cookies With Buttercream Frosting

Mon, 02 Nov 2009 12:03:14 -0500

Sugar Cookies - Homestead

Mon, 02 Nov 2009 15:21:47 -0500

My cousins and I love this family homestead recipe. I finally have this recipe and it is too good not to share. These cookies are great on their own without icing! But, if you have a sweet tooth, or small children, then these are even sweeter iced and decorated. -- posted by mum@home

Old World Butter Horns

Sat, 07 Nov 2009 17:31:20 -0500

Light and flaky filled cookie. One of my mother's dear friends, a woman of German heritage, shared this recipe with her more than 40 years ago. At the time, it had been in her family for more than 100 years! It has always been my favorite cookie for special occasions and still is. We use two variations for the filling: the traditional orange date nut filling provided here or, mincemeat, a family favorite, during the holiday season. The filled cookies freeze well and can be baked off straight from the freezer. For best results, be certain that the dough is thoroughly chilled before rolling out and that the filling has cooled completely before use. -- posted by Hotelier in Holland

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

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

My husband and I fight over them when she would send them to us in a care package when we didn't make it home for the holidays. Now I make them as well and we still fight over them! I bake them on my baking stones which makes them softer. If using a metal cookie sheet they will be harder. -- posted by cook from scratch

Uncooked logs can be frozen for a month, baked unassembled cookies can be frozen 2 weeks & the assembled cookies keep in an airtight container for 3 days.

I LOVE sandwich cookies & have plenty of cranberries & clementines in the house so this cookie is going to be on Christmas platter. The curd & dough need chilling in the fridge - which is great for me as I like breaking the task up (dough day then baking day) so it stays fun.

Sugar cookies kicked up a bit with minced ginger - Mmmmm! Bonus - these do not have to be rolled (but the cookie painter's in this house DEMAND those paintable shapes LOL!) Found in The Washington Post who noted this recipe was adapted from cookbook author Nancy Baggett. The dough only has a 10 minute rest time notes - so it is fast too. Bet it would be OK wrapped in the fridge if you are like me - dough one day, bake the next. -- posted by Buster's friend

traditional cookie from Scotland. Simple to make but delicious.

Icing the cookies is a family tradition and is one that is fun and can take some time so be sure to set a couple hours aside to do so. Although it can take time to icing these cookies it'll be well worth the work in taste and family fun. Enjoy! -- posted by Chef #1362592

This is a basic cream cheese cookie recipe that I added lemon and almond slices to. Keep an eye on them while baking--they are so rich they can burn in a minute.

Ed's Sugar Cookies

Tue, 15 Dec 2009 11:27:27 -0500

This is my husband's recipe and it has withstood the test of time. These delicious cookies are light & airy and fun to decorate. 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

Dycio Crescents

Sat, 02 Jan 2010 10:35:34 -0500

These crescents are not very sweet, but light and flaky in texture, and the jam centers make them that much more delightful. I used the Solo Apricot filling, but the Almond flavor is also a very good choice for variation. This recipe was passed on to me by a friends who bakes without written recipes, and put a lot of effort to give me the ingredients and preparation directions.

Cream Wafers

Mon, 04 Jan 2010 17:31:04 -0500

These are my most favorite cookies. I bake them for holidays and special occasions. My family absolutely loves them as well. If you read the ingredients, you might not be able to envision how decadent these really are. They are very light and flaky, resemble a puff pastry, and practically melt in your mouth. You can use them plain, or fill them with special frosting. They taste great either way, but of course are much richer with the filling.

Foam Biscuits (Cookies) by Brianne's Nanna

Sun, 17 Jan 2010 23:54:12 -0500

Many many years ago my daughter brought home a recipe that was shared at her kindergarten class by a little girl called Brianne for her nanna's biscuits. 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

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
