My favorites are not PC. Also, my family and friends don't know how I make em and they keep asking me how I make em. I tell them I make em on the stones and just the basic recipe but I make my Peanut Butter and my Chocolate Chip Cookies using the Crisco Butter Sticks. They have recipes that come with it. I also love making Snickerdoodles!!!!! :p Here's my recipe for them:
1/2 C butter
1/2 tsp vanilla
1 1/2 C flour
1/4 tsp baking soda
1 C sugar
1/4 tsp cream of tarter
1 egg
2 Tbsp sugar
1 tsp cinnamon
Beat batter with mixer on medium to high for 30 seconds. Add sugar, egg, vanilla, baking soda, cream of tarter and 1/2 of the flour. Beat till thoroughly combined. beat in remaining flour. Cover and chill 1 hour. Shape dough into 1" balls. Combine the 2 Tbsp and 1 tsp cinnamon. Roll balls in the sugar-cinnamon mixture. Place 2" apart on stone. Bake 375 for 10-12 minutes or till golden brown. Cool cookies on cooling rack. Makes about 36 cookies.
 
YUM!!! Snickerdoodles are a favorite with my family also!

Question on the COOKIE kisses ~ I just made these and they are so cool, the cookie part mostly covered up the kiss except for one tip each cookie. Do you try to cover them up after putting the kiss in? And do I really need to wait 15 minutes before taking them out?

THANK YOU
 
Hey Susan - No I don't try to cover them up. Yes, let them set for the 15 minutes so they can setup. The cookie will be to soft if you try to take them out to soon and you'll just wind up with a mess! :eek: (Been there, done that!) :mad:

Keep having fun with your pan!

Thanks Lee Ann!
 
2 of My favoritesHey everyone!! I can't believe that I didn't think of this thread! :D I normally make anywhere between 50 and 100 DOZEN cookies at Christmas Time! The 2 I've attached are a couple of my favorites. We give the cookies away to our co-workers, friends and family that we don't give regular gifts to. They go over really well.

OATMEAL-RAISIN COOKIES#35813

You've made oatmeal-raisin cookies before, so why try these? Because they're moist, chewy, and loaded with raisins...and they're better than any you've tried before! From Cuisine Magazine.

Whisk Together and Set Aside
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon kosher salt

Cream Wet Ingredients
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup sugar
1 cup dark brown sugar, packed
2 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla

Then Stir in
3 cups oats (not instant)
1 1/2 cups raisin (I use half cran-raisins)

Preheat oven to 350°.
1.Form Cookies and Bake.
2.Whisk dry ingredients; set aside.
3.Combine wet ingredients with a hand mixer on low.
4.To cream, increase speed to high & beat until fluffy and the color lightens.
5. Stir the flour mixture into the creamed mixture until no flour is visible.
6. (Over mixing develops the gluten, making a tough cookie.) Now add the oats and raisins; stir to incorporate.

7.Fill cookie scoop with dough.
8.(Use a#40 cookie scoop; it measures 2 T dough.) Press against side of bowl, pulling up to level dough.

9. Drop 2" apart onto baking sheet sprayed with nonstick spray.
10. Bake 11-13 minutes (on center rack), until golden, but still moist beneath cracks on top.

Remove from oven; let cookies sit on baking sheet for 2 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool.

36 cookies
26 minutes ( 15 mins prep time, 11 mins cook time )

Cream Cheese Cookies
These cookies are delicate when made with a press, or hardy when dropped by spoonfuls. I fill centers of press cookies with preserves or a chocolate chip for added variety. Servings: 72

1 cup white sugar
1 egg yolk

In a large bowl, cream together butter, cream cheese, and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in egg yolk and vanilla. Stir in flour until well blended. Cookie press onto cookie sheets. If using floral cookie shape, make indentation in center with a thimble, fill with preserves, or press candy into center. Bake for 15 minutes in preheated oven. Cookies should be pale.

Wilton Press Cookies
I love these simple little cookies with my afternoon tea. For a super dainty cookie, use the bar plate in the press and press a long ribbon of dough onto a cookie sheet (ridged side up). Score the cookie dough at 2 inch intervals.

NORWEGIAN BUTTER COOKIES

Spritz

3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
Rounded 1/2 teaspoon salt
3 sticks (1 1/2 cups) unsalted butter, softened
1 cup sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
1 large egg, lightly beaten
Special equipment: a cookie press fitted with a star, bow, circle, or ribbon plate*

Preheat oven to 350°F.
Sift together flour, baking powder, and salt.
Beat together butter, sugar, and extracts in a large bowl with an electric mixer at moderately high speed until pale and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add egg and beat well. Add flour mixture and mix at low speed until just combined.
Quarter dough and put 1 piece into cookie press. Holding press slightly above ungreased baking sheets, squeeze out dough to form cookies (follow manufacturer's instructions), spacing them about 3 inches apart. Form more cookies with remaining dough in same manner.
Bake cookies in batches in middle of oven until edges are golden, 10 to 15 minutes, then transfer with a metal spatula to racks to cool.
Cooks' notes:
• If you don't have a cookie press, you can form dough into 1 1/2-inch balls, then flatten to 1/3 to 1/2 inch thick with back of a fork, making a crosshatch design on top of cookies.
• Cookies keep in an airtight container at room temperature 3 weeks.
* Available at cookware shops and Williams-Sonoma (800-541-1262).

Makes about 6 dozen cookies.

Here's a cookie recipe I just got in an e-mail. The story was:

A lady was at Neiman-Marcus with a friend. They stopped to have coffee and a cookie. She asked the waitress if she could get the recipe for the cookies and the waitress said "sure, it will be two fifty". The lady said oh ok just charge my card. A week later the lady recieved her credit card bill in the mail with a $250.00 charge on her card from Neiman-Marcus! :eek: She called to get her money back but was told "No". So.... she sent the recipe to everyone in her e-mail address book, hoping to get her moneys worth and a way to get back at them for not refunding her money.

Kind of a funny story (not funny if it happened to me)

They are REALLY delicious cookies.

NEIMAN-MARCUS COOKIES (recipe may be halved)

2 cups butter
24 oz. chocolate chips
4 cups flour
2 cups brown sugar
2 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. salt
2 cups sugar
8 oz. Hershey Bar (grated; Microplane works great!)
5 cups oatmeal
4 eggs
2 tsp. baking powder
2 tsp. vanilla
3 cups ANY chopped nuts (optional)

Measure oatmeal, and blend in a blender to a fine powder. Cream the butter and both sugars. Add eggs and vanilla, mix together with flour, oatmeal, salt, baking powder, and soda. Add chocolate chips, Hershey Bar, and nuts. Roll into balls (or use Medium Scoop) and place 2 inches apart.

Bake for 10 minutes at 375 degrees. Makes 112 cookies.

My son had such a good time helping me make these tonight, and they are now my husbands favorite :)

ENJOY!!

Bumping up for cookie press recipes
 

1. What ingredients do I need to make these pumpkin chocolate chip cookies?

To make these delicious pumpkin chocolate chip cookies, you will need 1 cup of pumpkin puree, 1 cup of granulated sugar, 1/2 cup of brown sugar, 1/2 cup of unsalted butter, 1 egg, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon of ground nutmeg, 1/4 teaspoon of ground ginger, and 1 cup of chocolate chips.

2. Can I use canned pumpkin instead of pumpkin puree?

3. How long do I need to bake the cookies for?

When ready to bake, let the dough thaw in the refrigerator for a few hours before baking as directed.

5. Are these cookies kid-friendly?

Yes, these pumpkin chocolate chip cookies are kid-friendly and easy to make with little ones. They can help with measuring and mixing the ingredients, and of course, enjoy eating them too!
