Unplugged Cookie Recipe Exchange

Here's one of my favorites I posted it before but I just looked at the old post and realized I forgot something from it

Butter Fingers

1/2 pound of butter
5 tablespoons icing sugar
1 cup either almond or walnuts (any nit really as this year i used pecans because we had no walnuts)
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 teaspoons cold water
2 cups flour

I usually end up using my hands to mix it as the butter melt slightly into the dry ingreds, plus it's a very hard batter to stir. We usually divide it in half and make half of each nut. After mixing the ingredients together roll pieces into small finger shaped cookies
bake at 300 until light brown
roll in icing sugar once cool

I thought it was a great time to resurrect our cookie recipe thread! All of the threads from the past several years are merged here into one spot. Add what you're baking this year!

I made these for the 1st time this year... and have had to make them twice more because they keep disappearing

Candy Cane Kiss Cookies
yield: 24 SUGAR COOKIES

Ingredients:
· 10 Tablespoons (145g) unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
· 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
· 2 egg yolks (room temperature)
· 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
· 1 and 1/2 cups (190g) King Arthur unbleached all-purpose flour (measured correctly)
· 3/4 teaspoon baking powder
· 1/4 teaspoon salt
· sprinkles
· 24 Candy Cane Hershey Kisses

Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
2. Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats. Set aside.
3. Using a hand-held or stand mixer with a paddle attachment, cream the butter and sugar together on medium speed for 5 full minutes, scraping down the sides and the bottom as necessary.
4. Add the egg yolks and vanilla, beating on medium-high until fully combined. Scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl as necessary.
5. In a medium bowl, toss the flour, baking powder, and salt together.
6. Add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients on low speed until fully combined. The dough will be very thick. If the dough is extremely sticky, chill for at least 45 minutes.
7. Roll dough into balls, a little less than 1 Tablespoon of dough each.
8. The dough may seem dry*, but the warmth of your hands will allow it to come together in a ball.
9. Roll into assorted sprinkles and bake for 8-10 minutes.
10. The cookies will look very, very under baked. That's what you need. Do not over bake.
11. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes.
12. Press a Hershey Kiss into the center and immediately put the cookie sheet into the freezer for 5 minutes. Doing this will prevent the kiss from melting. (Some of ours melted, and I think I liked the swirl and peppermint throughout better.)
