Your greatest cookie recipe?

I'm going to be baking some cookies for my colleagues tomorrow and I'm totally out of inspiration. So I call upon the yahoo Q%26amp;A people to help me out. What is the recipe in your baking book that makes people empty the cookie jar in one setting.

Korova Cookies





adapted from Dorie Greenspan's Paris Sweets





makes about 36 cookies





1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour





1/3 cup Dutch-process cocoa powder (do not use natural; I find the taste too light. I prefer Scharffen Berger or Valrhona)





1/2 teaspoon baking soda





1 stick plus 3 tablespoons butter, room temperature





2/3 cup light brown sugar





1/4 cup sugar





1/2 teaspoon fleur de sel





1 teaspoon vanilla extract





5 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped into little bits (I will admit I have used Nestle Toll House Mini Morsels before because they are nearly the perfect size; very tiny for this cookie is best. However, Greenspan does recommend chopping up your favorite chocolate for best results. If you see the mini morsels in the store, check them out for their size!)





Sift the flour, cocoa, and baking soda together in a bowl. Beat the butter in a mixer until it is soft and creamy. Add in the sugars, salt, and vanilla extract and beat for a few more minutes to combine. Add in the flour and combine on low speed just until the flour is combined. This is probably the trickiest part because the texture of the cookie depends on as little mixing as possible. The dough will be very crumbly; resist the urge to keep mixing until it all comes together because then the cookies will be too tough when baked. Add in the chocolate bits and mix just to distribute them.

This is a Oatmeal Banana Nut Cookie recipe hope you enjoy!!








Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).


Cream butter or margarine with mixer. Blend in whole eggs, sugar, and extract. Add flour, baking soda, and salt. When the ingredients are thoroughly mixed, add oats and pecans. Mix on lower speed until consistent.


Drop pieces of the dough using an ice cream scoop onto an ungreased cookie tray roughly 3 to 4 inches apart.


Bake 8 to 10 minutes. Eight minutes would yield crispy cookies with a chewy, slightly doughy center. For harder, crispier cookies, bake longer. Cool on wire rack.

No-Bake Peanut Butter Squares

1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs


1 cup peanut butter


1 1/2 Pkg. (12 squares) Semi-Sweet Baking Chocolate


½ cup milk (optional)





Directions:


Line 13” x 9” baking pan with foil, with ends of foil extending over sides of pan. Set aside.


Melt butter in large microwavable bowl on HIGH 1.5 ½- 2½ minutes or until melted.


ADD sugar, graham cracker crumbs %26amp; peanut butter……and milk if needed. Mix well spread into prepared pan.


Microwave chocolate 1.5 – 2 minutes or until meltedm stirring after each minute. Cool slightly; pour %26amp; spread over peanut butter mixture in pan. Cool. Cut partially through dessert to mark 48 squares. Refrigerate 1 hour or until set.


LIFT from pan, using foil handles. Cut all the way through dessert into squares.





(I used the milk…was easier to spread in pan….I’ve made this also…not bothering to line pan with foil…or not scoring before refrigerating…….served from pan…..let it sit at room temperature before cutting…about 15 – 20 minutes..…easier to cut into serving pieces).

1 t vanilla extract (or almond or lemon depending on taste)


2 eggs


mix well. Add:


4 C flour one cup at a time stirring after each addition


Drop by rounded spoonfuls onto UNgreased cookie sheet and flatten slightly with bottom of glass dipped in sugar. Might take a little trial and error to perfect this. Bake at 350 for about 9 to 11 minutes. Frost with powdered sugar frosting if desired. These are insanely bad for you but they fall apart in your mouth!


Powdered Sugar Frosting:


4 C powdered sugar


1 C butter

Cream together butter and powdered sugar, add vanilla. May have to add a few drops milk to attain spreading consistency. (Can also add food coloring, if desired)

Chocolate Caramel Shortbread - I have a queue at the kitchen door every time I make it.





Make a basic shortbread - enough to cover two 12'; x 8'; baking sheets - bake and leave to cool - how much depends on whether you like a thick base I like mine thin and this is the quantity I use





8oz butter


4oz fine vanilla sugar (caster)


If you don't have vanilla sugar you can use ordinary sugar and vanilla or leave the vanilla out altogether


6oz plain flour





Caramel





1 tin condensed milk


8oz unsalted butter


6oz sugar - any will do but I like to use a soft brown


1 tbsp golden syrup





gently melt all the ingredients in a heavy bottom saucepan, bring to the boil and simmer - very important that you stir all the time it usually takes about 20 minutes to get the caramel colour and right consistency - if you drop a small amount onto an ice cold saucer and it sets immediately it is done.





spread over the shortbread and leave to cool





a very large bar of chocolate ( usually milk but I occasionally use dark chocolate) melt the chocolate and spread over the caramel -- I usually do this when the caramel is still warm but not really hot.
I missed this question...I see you have many good answers so if you already tried one of the recipes I hope it turned out ok.





If you need a specific recipe I may be able to help you. I have recipes for tried and true cookies from drop, rolled, and bar cookies. Any kind or flavor your looking for. I have great Pecan cookies and Malted cookies with chocolate chips.





Let me know if I can help you out any. Good Luck if you haven't made them yet.

Make the nigella lawson intense chocolate cookies: http://www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes/databa…





They are really easy to make, and come out really beautifully. A word of warning though - they are very rich, so I'd suggest making them about half the size she says to! Everyone loves these cookies!
Go to the supermarket and look for 'chips ahoy chewy', they are the best, but if you insist on making them yourself then just look at the recipe on the back and make them
I am at work right now but I have this recipe for these coconut/oatmeal cookies. They are really thin and take lots of butter. I'll send it later.
mine is just like any other cookie mix except i put an ounce of marijuana in it.
Chocolate chip
smarties cookies
go to ben and jerrys, buy cookie dough, cook it. best cookies ever
flour and salt.
This is off allrecipes, but because I can't get hold of vanilla instant pudding here I just used butterscotch - they were still fantastic, and kept really well as well. I also skipped the walnuts, because I don't like them, and used a mix of dark and milk chocolate chips. Seriously, they're just gorgeous, and super easy. They're very soft so just dollop spoonsful onto the baking sheet and they'll cook into nice rounds.
