Personally, I don't think you can improve on perfection, so I just use the Nestle's recipe for toll house. And for oatmeal cookies I just use the Quaker Oats version. Our all-time favorite recipe, though, is for Luscious Lemon Snaps. OMG!! I love citrus & these are awesome!! We prefer the softer version - even though they no longer "snap". LOL

Toll House Cookies - Nestles’

2¼ c flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
1 c butter
¾ c sugar
¾ c brown sugar
1 tsp vanilla
2 eggs

The Hermits from Cooking with Mickey Volume II are extremely good and the Oatmeal Raisin cookie recipe from Disneyland tastes like it comes from a professional bakery. Both recipes are on the Disney recipe exchange (I think).

This weekend I made Fruit and Nut Cookies (from a recipe in In Touch) magazine and they are some of the best cookies I've ever have. Because they are very small they are only 2 Weight Watcher points per cookie.


*Fergie's Fruit and Nut cookies
Makes 48

1 cup butter
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/2 cups oats
1/2 cup sweetened coconut
3 ounces chocolate morsels
3 ounces peanut butter chips
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
1/2 cup raisins

Heat oven to 350°F. In a bowl, cream butter and sugars with mixer for 3 minutes. Beat in egg. Add flour and baking soda. Beat 1 minute. Stir in remaining ingredients and beat for 1 minute. Make teaspoon drops on parchment-lined cookie sheets and bake 10 minutes. Cool.

Obviously you can make these cookies a lot bigger but if you do make the teaspoon size be careful not to over bake.
