Answers:
ORIGINAL GIRL SCOUT COOKIES

2 sticks butter, softened and cut into chunks
1 cup sugar
2 large eggs, room temperature
2 tablespoons milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2-1/2 cups all purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
Sugar for sprinkling (opt)

In a mixing bowl (by hand if you want to be authentic), cream butter and sugar. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition Add milk and vanilla and beat until light and fluffy. Combine flour and baking powder and gradually add this to creamed mixture. Now you’ll have to chill this before rolling out (normally you can roll most cookies out between two pieces of clear wrap or two permanent baking mats like I’m using which are available at The Great Indoors and which eliminate any greasing of cookie sheets, and then refrigerate them before cutting out, but this dough is simply too soft to do that) and that will take anywhere from 2 to 24 hours. Roll out on a lightly floured surface about 1/4" thick. Cut and place on ungreased cookie sheet. Sprinkle with sugar if you like. Bake in preheated 350 degree oven for 8-10 minutes (8 for a softer cookie; 10 for a more crisp cookie). Cool on wire racks. Makes about 4 dozen 2-1/2" cookies.

KICKED UP TOLL HOUSE COOKIES

1/3 cup butter flavored Crisco
1/4 cup lard (may substitute Crisco)
3/4 stick butter
1 cup white granulated sugar
1/3 cup dark brown sugar, packed
1 Tablespoon blackstrap molasses
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon allspice
2 eggs
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
2 tablespoons rum
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 cup raisins and/or craisins
3/4 cup chopped pecans, walnuts, or macadamias
1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 scant teaspoon salt
2 1/4 cups flour
1/3 cup oatmeal

In a mixer, combine Crisco, lard, and butter, and whip until light. Crisco and lard are combined to create a cookie which doesn't spread too thinly, has a slightly crispy exterior, and a soft chewy center. The butter is for flavor. Substitute at your own risk!
Slowly add the white granulated sugar and continue beating until very light and fluffy. Stir in the spices, baking powder and salt. Add the two eggs and mix only to combine. In a separate bowl, add hot water to the brown sugar along with the baking soda. When dissolved, add this to the sugar and spice mixture to combine. Add the oatmeal.

Slowly stir in the flour, stopping occasionally to scrape down the sides of the bowl. Stir in the rum and vanilla. Limit your mixing of the dough to about one minute once the flour has been added, in order to avoid a tough cookie. Stir in the chocolate, nuts, and raisins.

Using two spoons, drop by rounded tablespoonfuls onto greased cookie sheets and bake in pre-heated 375 degree oven on the middle shelf until cookies are lightly browned along edges and barely golden on top. This will take about 7-10 minutes depending on the size of each cookie and the temperature of your oven.

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1/2 pound (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
1 cup light brown sugar, packed
1 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
3 cups rolled oats (We use Quaker Quick or Old Fashioned. Do NOT use instant.)
11/2 cups raisins
1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)

1 Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees. Line two large cookie sheets with parchment paper or waxed paper.

2 Either by hand or with electric mixer, beat butter until creamy. Add sugars; beat until fluffy, about 3 minutes. Beat in eggs one at a time. Add vanilla.

3 Mix flour, salt, baking powder, and nutmeg together in medium bowl. Stir dry ingredients into butter-sugar mixture. Stir in oats, raisins and optional walnuts.

4 Working with generous 2 tablespoons of dough each time, roll dough into 2-inch balls. Place balls on parchment-lined cookie sheet, leaving at least 2 inches between each ball.

5 Bake until cookie edges turn golden brown, 22 to 25 minutes. Let cool on cooling at least 30 minutes before peeling cookie from parchment.

If you prefer a less sweet cookie, you can reduce the white sugar by one-quarter cup, but you will lose some crispness. Do not overbake these cookies. The edges should be brown, but the rest of the cookie should be very light in color. The trick to making the cookies chewy is to make them large. Smaller cookies tend to get more dried out and crisp, and therefore not as chewy.

this is where i go when i want a cool, delicious, different cookie:

Crunchy Peanut Butter Biscuits

75g soft brown sugar

50g peanut butter, smooth or crunchy

50g butter

1 medium egg


50g unsalted peanuts

100g self-raising flour



how to make




1. Cream sugar, peanut butter and butter together until mixture is soft and fluffy.

2. Beat in the egg.

3. Roughly chop the peanuts (or use spinkling nuts so you don't have to do any chopping) and stir them into the mixture to make a fairly firm dough.

3. Divide the dough into 28 even-sized pieces and roll each into a ball.

4. Arrange the balls on lightly greased baking sheets, allowing plenty of room for spreading.

5. Criss-cross each one with the prongs of a fork, dipping them in flour to prevent sticking.

6. Bake biscuits in a moderate oven (180oC) for about 20 minutes or until golden brown.

7. Lift biscuits onto a wire rack to cool, using a palette knife.

The best cookies are choc. chip from the choc. chip pkg. A good short cut is buy the pkg roll, let get to room temp. then add a little more butter and brown sugar. Make drop cookies. They are just as good as homemade.

Loaded Oatmeal Cookies (Paula Deen)

Oh My Goodness!!! These are like heaven!! I leave out the raisins because I don't like them and substitute the walnuts for pecans but they are delish!!!!! Also, don't even think about leaving the brown buttered icing off. It makes them so good. They literally melt in your mouth!

1/2 cup butter, softened (1 stick)
1/2 cup vegetable shortening
1 1/2 cups packed light brown sugar
2 eggs
1/2 cup buttermilk
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon freshly ground nutmeg
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
2 1/2 cups quick-cooking oatmeal
1 cup raisins
1 1/2 cups chopped walnuts or pecans
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

For Glaze
1/2 cup butter
2 cups sifted powdered sugar (see note below)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3-4 tablespoons water

Preheat oven to 350°F Lightly grease cookie sheets. With electric mixer cream together butter, shortening and sugar in a bowl until fluffy. Add eggs and beat until mixture is light in color. Add buttermilk (it will appear a little curdled at this stage, don't worry).

Sift together flour, baking soda, salt, baking powder, ginger, nutmeg,cinnamon, cloves and allspice; stir into creamed mixture. Stir in oatmeal, raisins, walnuts and vanilla, blending well. (Dough will be soft and sticky).

Drop by rounded teaspoons onto cookie sheet. (I use a small cookie dough scoop that looks like an ice cream scoop--makes this job easy and ensures uniformly rounded cookies).

Bake for 12 to 15 minutes. Oven temperatures and size of cookies you make vary, so check your first batch at least by 9 to 10 minutes.

For Brown Butter Glaze: In a small saucepan, melt butter over medium heat, then continue to cook, stirring occasionally until butter is a golden brown.

Remove pan from heat and stir in the powdered sugar and vanilla. Stir in enough water to make the icing of drizzling consistency. Drizzle over warm cookies.
