Throwaway cookies, NEVER :) The official Fort cookie thread!

[KristinU]

Thread title change! Good call, Violet Parr!

I like the title change, it keeps part of the original intent mixed with some reality.

It has been a long week at the death/funeral of a wonderful sister in law, however; a great neighbor brought these cookies to the funeral luncheon on Friday. Here is the delicious recipe.

Andes Mint Chocolate Cookies

1 1/4 sticks butter
1 1/2 cups brown sugar
2 T water
2 cups chocolate chips
2 eggs
2 1/2 C Flour
1 1/4 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp salt

Melt butter, sugar & water in microwave until butter is melted. Stir in chocolate chips until melted. Let cool 10 minutes.
Add eggs, one at a time. Stir in flour, Sosa and salt. Chill for at least 2 hours.
Shape into balls ( 1 inch or so). Bake at 350 for ten (10) minutes. Place 1 Andes mint in center of each cookie, pressing down. Once melted, spread with knife and place on cooling rack.

We doubled the batch and the double recipe made about 7 dozen cookies.

Before I get this going this weekend, can I get a clarification on the amount of water. Appreciate it.

That ought to clear up any amount of water you need for that recipe.

I apologize that I abbreviated the amount of water. The amount is 2 Tablespoons, or 2 T as I put it! An old Home Economics shortcut. That puts some age on me! Enjoy.

I guess it ages me too. 2 T is two Tablespoons while 2 t is two Teaspoons.

Oh my goodness, I just saw the thread and got caught up. This is why Fort people are my people.

But I didn't change the thread title. Maybe a mod did it? I can't take credit for that level of funny.

And here is my cookie contribution. This is a family holiday favorite. They're a lot of work, but SO worth it.

Michael,

You on this one? It sounds pretty good.

Wow... I might have to make a Trip to GSP just to try all the cookies. Are they all going to be loophole (err.... squirrel) shaped since Michael got his new cookie cutter?

Mine aint the only oven working around the Dis I promise.

Well, we at it again.

Country Crock?
In cookies?
Is that your "Healthy Alternative" to butter?

 

[tiggerdad]

Peg, what you cooking with? What?


Today's assistants are Jesse and Tiger.


All mixed together and headed to the fridge for the 2 hour chill.

 

[peg110]

Ouch, OUCH, this proud dairy farmer thinks you should be using the real product, BUTTER! Enjoy, I know they will still taste almost as good! That is the same reason we bring "Spotted Cow" as our choice of brew when we visit the Fort. Best beer ever.

 

[tiggerdad]

Aight, we got this all done.


I think the hardest part was unwrapping all the mints but luckily I had unwrapped them while the cookies were in the oven.



I had to leave some cookies mint-free as the youngest doesn't like mint.

These things are fine! Even without the mints they are great. Any of you with any sense will copy this recipe and give it a go. Thanks @bjschil.

Now, about the cookie cutter. This recipe was a bit too tachy for the cutter to work. I'll have the DW pick up some cookie dough and I'll use it with the cutter.

So, is anybody else giving a recipe a go? I gotta eat these up before I tackle another one.

Would love to try making some delicious DIS cookies, but I only cook on vacation, sorry.
