Cookie Day


Every year around this time I go into cookie mode! Cookie are such great reminders of great times spent doing things together. After search high and low for some great cookie recipes, I have found these to be my favorites, (Many are right in the pantry). The Chocolate Chip recipe on a can of Butter Flavored Crisco is wonderful. The cookie is moist and tender and keeps without staling rapidly. Next is Martha Stewart Sugar Cookie. This is a classic cookie recipe. I like to make this one a few day before I am going to bake them, the dough really rolls on well after intense chilling. The recipe for Oatmeal Raisin Cookie on the Oatmeal box is great, but I like to switch the 3 cup of Oats for 3 cups of Bear Naked All Natural Granola, I use the Apple Cinnamon Flavor. This cookie is Great with bits of crisp toasted oats and apples. My All time favorite brownie is Ghirardelli Walnut Brownie mix, to these I like to replace vegetable oil with Walnut Oil, and add, 1/2 cup of white chocolate chips, 1/2 cup of pecans, and 1/2 cup of toffee bits. You will not want to share these excellent brownie. I really like them in the morning with a good cup of coffee, (an entire blog will be dedicated to a good cup of coffee). And nothing, I mean nothing beats a freshly made Rice Crispy Treat....the secret is to use a really good vanilla or make them Adult like with replacing the vanilla with Amaretto! I could go on and on, Cocoa Rum Balls, Ms. Ruby's Fudge, and Many Many More. Well I am off to bake and bake and bake some more holiday treats! Enjoy every bite!
