What are your favorite cookies recipes?

[LuvCuteBoys]

I'm looking to try some new ones! Preferably ones that hold up well to being shipped, but I'll try anything

I love cake mix cookies, but have realized those are best eaten within a day or two so I'd love some suggestions!

Thanks

I love S'more Cookie Bars. I usually double this recipe.

Ingredients:

1/2 cup butter, room temperature
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup sugar
1 large egg
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 1/3 cups all purpose flour
3/4 cup graham cracker crumbs
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
2 king-sized milk chocolate bars (e.g. Hershey’s)
1 1/2 cups marshmallow creme/fluff (not melted marshmallows)

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease an 8-inch square baking pan. In a large bowl, cream together butter and sugar until light. Beat in egg and vanilla. In a small bowl, whisk together flour, graham cracker crumbs, baking powder and salt. Add to butter mixture and mix at a low speed until combined. Divide dough in half and press half of dough into an even layer on the bottom of the prepared pan. Place chocolate bars over dough. 2 king-sized Hershey’s bars should fit perfectly side by side, but break the chocolate (if necessary) to get it to fit in a single layer no more than 1/4 inch thick. Spread chocolate with marshmallow creme or fluff. Place remaining dough in a single layer on top of the fluff (most easily achieved by flattening the dough into small shingles and laying them together). Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, until lightly browned. Cool completely before cutting into bars.

Makes 16 cookie bars.

my kids live for these snickerdoodles:

They don't use cream of tartar, most snickerdoodles do. I don't know why, but they just taste better.

Also have you ever made merigue cookies? I used to have a favorite recipe but I cannot find it anymore. They were made with cocoa powder and had a nice flavor, not too chocolatey. Since I can't find it, I've tried a few different ones and nothing is quite right. They are different cookies, take a while to make. They are crisp cookies and should hold up well to shipping, should be in an airtight container though.

ETA:

Have you ever made these:

My mother in law has my cookbook with this recipe. These are yummy. They taste like chewy brownies. Probably a good thing she has that cookbook--I could see me making some cookies right now.

Without a doubt, right now it's snickerdoodles. I like to make them so they are kind of crisp. I don't like soft cookies. Even my chocolate chip cookies have to be crisp.

Have you ever made these:

Hehe... I just took a batch of those out of the oven!!!! Except that I roll mine in granulated sugar instead of powdered sugar. These are by far my absolute favorite cookie!!

Without a doubt, right now it's snickerdoodles. I like to make them so they are kind of crisp. I don't like soft cookies. Even my chocolate chip cookies have to be crisp.

I'm the opposite... I like soft cookie and tend to underbake them so they don't get crispy/crunchy.

Seems like snickerdoodles are pretty popular!

Snickerdoodles are my youngest sons favorite cookie. He asked for those for his birthday treat last year, for school. I took them in. I was amazed to learn later, that quite a few kids had never had them before.

Try that recipe. They rise just a bit and they are moist in the middle and a little crisp on the edges. Seriously a good cookie. Most of the snickerdoodle recipes that I've tried, the cookie tastes "eggy." That one does not. I don't know why. I know that the difference is the cream of tartar, but it has the basic ingredients for cream of tartar. I just must be the proportions.

Those chocolate crinkles are awesome. I haven't made them in a while. Hubby loves them, but eats too many and then complains about his stomach.

My favorites are these. But they are very thin and crispy so they don't ship well.


Oatmeal Lace Cookies

1 Cup Regular Oats
1 Cup Sugar
3 TBS Flour
1 /2 TSP Salt
1/4 TSP Baking Powder
1 TSP Vanilla
8 TBS Butter; Melted
1 Egg; beaten

Preheat Oven to 350.
Mix all of the dry ingredients.
Add the wet ingredients and mix.
Line cookie sheets with aluminum foil, shiny side up.
Drop a teaspoon of dough per cookie about 2 inches apart on the foil.
Bake 8-10 minutes. Watch the cookies carefully as it is easy to burn them. I remove them when the edges turn a dark brown and the middles a light brown. Remove the foil with the cookies on them from the cookie sheet and place on a flat surface. Once the cookies cool peel them from the foil.

Makes about 20-30 cookies
