Yield 8 large cookies

Number Of Ingredients 24

1 cup unsalted butter, 2 sticks
½ cup granulated sugar
1 ½ cups dark brown sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 tablespoon greek yogurt
1 large egg
1 large egg yolk
2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon salt
¾ cup milk chocolate chips
½ cup mini chocolate chips
1 tablespoon caramel, per cooking
1 tablespoon cookie butter, per cookie
1 tablespoon chocolate hazelnut spread, per cookie
1 tablespoon peanut butter, per cookie
¼ cup mini marshmallows
¼ cup chocolate caramel candy, chopped
¼ cup chocolate chips
¼ cup chocolate sandwich cookie, crushed
¼ cup white chocolate chip
¾ cup rainbow sprinkles
¼ cup pretzel, crushed
¼ cup potato chip, crushed

Steps:

  • In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter and toast for about 5 minutes until it turns brown and smells nutty. Pour the brown butter into a large bowl. Let sit for 30 minutes to cool before starting to make the dough.
  • To the bowl with the cooled butter, add the granulated sugar, brown sugar, vanilla, and yogurt. Using an electric hand mixer or stand mixer, beat for 2-3 minutes until fluffy.
  • Add the egg and egg yolk and beat again until fluffy and well-combined.
  • In a separate large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Sift ⅓ of the dry ingredients at a time into the wet ingredients. Beat just until incorporated, then scrape down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula between each addition. Make sure not to overmix.
  • Add the chocolate chips and mini chocolate chips to the dough and gently fold just to incorporate. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for 2 hours. You can also store the stuffings in the fridge so they're easier to work with later.
  • Preheat the oven to 350˚F (180˚C). Line a baking sheet (or 2) with parchment paper.
  • Using an ice cream scooper, scoop out 3 tablespoons of chilled dough and flatten out into a ¼-inch (6 mm) thick circle.
  • Add 1 tablespoon of your stuffing of choice, such as caramel, cookie butter, chocolate hazelnut spread, or peanut butter, to the center of the dough round, and fold the edges of the dough around the stuffing. Seal tightly and roll into a ball. Repeat with the rest of the dough and stuffings.
  • To the outside of the cookie dough balls, add your choice of toppings, such as mini marshmallows, chopped candy bar, chocolate chips, crushed chocolate sandwich cookies, white chocolate chips, rainbow sprinkles, pretzel pieces, or crushed potato chips. Press the toppings firmly into the dough, so they don't fall off. Repeat with the remaining stuffed cookie dough balls.
  • Place the stuffed and decorated cookie dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet approximately 3 inches (7 cm) apart, so the cookies don't spread into one another. You may need to use 2 baking sheets.
  • Bake for 11-14 minutes, or until the cookies are golden brown and evenly spread.
  • Cool on a cooling rack for 10 minutes before devouring!
  • Enjoy!

GRANDMA TIBBITTS SUGAR COOKIES



Grandma Tibbitts Sugar Cookies image

This recipe was handed down from my great grandmother. It took a few years to figure out the exact measures. These cookies are very soft and if you want to use a cutter, the dough should be refrigerated a couple hours. I use a three inch biscuit cutter. You can also drop these if you are short on time. Sprinkle tops with colored sugar or whatever decorative confection you like. These are good plain also.

Categories     Desserts     Cookies     Sugar Cookies

Time 30m

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 cup lard
2 cups white sugar
2 eggs
1 cup buttermilk
4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease cookie sheets.
  • In a large bowl, cream together the lard and sugar. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the buttermilk. The mixture will be very runny at this point. Combine the flour, baking soda, nutmeg and salt; stir into the buttermilk mixture by hand using a wooden spoon. Try not to over mix the dough or the cookies will be dense. Drop by spoonfuls onto the prepared cookie sheets. For cut out cookies, the dough should be refrigerated for a couple of hours. Roll out to 1/2 inch thickness and flour your cookie cutter between each cut.
  • Bake for 8 to 10 minutes in the preheated oven. Allow cookies to cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.
