Cookies???
I'm 15 and I'm having a sleepover. I was thinking that maybe we could make cookies. I thought it would be fun to have a kind that is like basic and then you add in stuff like mnms, chocolate chips, candy bits, cinnamon, peanutbutter, ect.
Do you know a recipe for that?
Also, what are some other good add ins?
Thanks a million!
Answers:
pillsbury makes a really good sugar cookie dough that you can just roll out and bake. you probably could mix in your add ins when you do the dough
or take a little milk and powdered sugar and food coloring and make frosting and decorate with sprinkles. maybe even get some cool cookie cutters.
Try the melt in your mouth recipe on the Butter Crisco can for chocolate chip cookies.

1 egg
1 tablespoon whole milk

Roll dough 1/8 inch thick. Cut with your favorite cookie cutters. Place on cookie sheet and 7 to 8 minutes. Remove from oven. Cool on pan 5 minutes. Remove to cooling racks and let cool completely before frosting, if desired.

Creamy Icing
In a small bowl beat 1 egg white, 2 teaspoons lemon juice or vanilla. and enough powdered sugar [1 1/2 2 cups] to make icing of piping consistency. Spread icing on cookies, let dry. If desired, add a drop or two of food coloring, spoon into a zipper style plastic bag, forcing the icing to the corner. Make a small hole in the corner and use to pipe decorations onto cookies.
