Favorite Homemade Cookies

[Hinotori]

Chocolate crinkles are my youngest brothers favorite. Middle brother likes those too, but I think he just likes all cookies.

Most of everyone's favorites here are from the Betty Crocker Cooky Book. Not the reprint. Reprint recipes are different.


Mom modified the sugar cookie one a bit but just the one there is good.

the stained glass windows we make are the various colored mini marshmallows and then you take melted dark chocolate and add a little butter and then get it to where it just starts to set and mix it with the marshmallows and roll it into a log and put it in the fridge to harden up. then slice and serve.

almost all the cookies we make we use white sugar but add molasses for color and more flavor. soft molasses cookies with seedless raspberry jam in the middle are among my favorites (grape jam is ok too) but since i am such a mooch for cookie dough molasses cookie dough is such a flavor and texture bomb for me that i'm normally around seeking to do some quality control there too. Mom made a few batches of them last night and i avoided eating any of them or any dough so i saved myself some calories, but i sure wanted to be right in there.

she has her system all set up to where she can bake a day and turn out hundreds of cookies. when she's finally done i help cleanup and get the mixer cleaned out. it is better during the day if i stay away as if we talk too much she might not remember where she's at in a recipe or in baking. i'm the same way. if a recipe is easy it's ok, but after a few ingredients or trying to count out cups of flour or ... well, oops...

I have a serious problem with cookies. I love making and decorating sugar cookies, but also love eating them WAY too much. I have limited my cookie hobby to gingerbread houses because I'm never tempted to eat them. It's a little sad but works for me.

I sometimes get Walkers shortbread cookies because I'm lazy.

I love those!!
