I Need Your Cookie Recipes!

We started off our morning being woken up at 4:30 to a neighbor pounding on our door - the trailer next to ours, and the one to the right of it (both vacant, thankfully) were on fire, and gone in almost no time. Two fire departments, a sheriff's department, and several hours later, they had put it out and even put out the embers that had spread to under ours before it did any actual damage.

I intend to spend all day Sunday baking cookies for the neighbor, firefighters, and sheriff's office as a thank you for pretty much saving everything we own, and our lives. So, I need to bake a ton of cookies, and I need awesome recipes, healthy or not is irrelevant.

Throw 'em my way!

    I have some great ones but I'm just going to bed and have a busy day tomorrow prepping for a pre-thanksgiving dinner. I can post them in the mid day but that might be too late for you.

    Since you said that healthy didn't matter, the chocolate chip cookie recipe that's included with the sticks of butter-flavored Crisco are really good. I normally double the amount of chocolate chips it calls for, and cook them to the chewy stage (I think it's 8 minutes a batch), so they don't take very long either.

    Look up cookie recipes on line. Search soft ginger cookies...taste great and look great and the recipe usually makes lots.
    Sorry I can't find my recipes at the moment and don't really want to be reading cookie recipes with the state i'm in :P

    Here's an easy one. Good basic sugar cookie.
    1 cup butter

    ¾ confectioner’s sugar

    2 cups sifted all-purpose flour



    Cream butter with sugar until very smooth and fluffy. Add flour and mix in with fingers to form dough. Place dough on lightly-floured pastry cloth and roll out to 1/4-inch thickness; no thinner. Cut with cookie cutters. Transfer to an ungreased cookie sheet and bake at 325 degrees until light brown, about 15 minutes. Do not allow cookies to become browned in the baking; browning will mask their delicate butter flavor. Remove from cookie sheet to cloth-covered surface to cool.

    Mid-day is fine, I'm baking tomorrow!


    Thanks for the suggestions! :) I'd love more, I can definitely bake a variety for them.

    I know it sounds odd to make cookies with Bisquick. I tried these last week and they were fantastic and pretty quick to make. Instead of chocolate chips, I chopped up a cup of butterfinger bites candy. Everyone who tried them loved them :)

    I am glad you, your family and your home are safe.

    These are the absolute best chocolate chip cookie recipe I've ever made. And I've made lots of them. Everyone loves these & I've been asked over & over for the recipe! I don't add the optional ingredients & also add 1 tsp of vanilla.

    These cookies are amazing. I own a bakery, we tested dozens of recipes before selling these, and these were by far the winner.

    http://www.othersideoffifty.com/2010/08/new-york-times-chocolate-chip-cookies.html

    Also, the recipes on the back of ingredients are usually top notch, they test hundreds before printing them. (on the back of chocolate chips, oatmeal, coconut flakes, etc)
