MILLION DOLLAR COOKIES



Million Dollar Cookies image

Sugar cookie with a delightful blend of flavors and crispy edges. The first time I tasted this cookie I just said "wow". It's my favorite cookie jar cookie and I highly recommended it. If you bake and ship to loved ones, this cookie travels very well even in summer heat. I use bubble wrap between layers and they survive the trip to Iraq.

Time 35m

Yield 24 cookies, 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 tablespoons butter, soft
3/4 cup Crisco, butter flavored
1/2 cup white sugar
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 1/2 teaspoons almond flavoring
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 cups flour
2 teaspoons cream of tartar
1 teaspoon baking soda

Steps:

  • Oven 350° for 12-15 minutes until edges are slightly brown.
  • Cream fats and sugars until fluffy.
  • Add egg and beat until absorbed.
  • Add flavorings to creamed mixture.
  • Sift dry ingredients together into separate bowl and blend together.
  • Add dry to creamed mixture and mix just until flour is incorporated; do not over mix.
  • Chill dough.
  • Roll into balls and flatten on cookie sheet with glass bottom dipped in sugar.
  • My addition of some butter allows the fats and sugars to crème to a fluffy consistency superior to Crisco alone. Butter has a small percentage of water that helps build volume and break down the sugars. The use of all butter will result in a softer cookie if this is your preference. This important 1st stage of preparation will make good cookies, blue ribbon winners.

GRANDMA'S CHRISTMAS COOKIE



Grandma's Christmas Cookie image

My Grandmother used to make these for my mother and me for years. We took it for granted that she would always be here to do so. My mother and I played with the ingredients until we think we have duplicated Grandma's recipe. The light coating of powdered sugar makes these stand out from the other cookies in the tin.

4 ½ cups sifted all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 teaspoons cream of tartar
½ teaspoon salt
1 cup margarine, softened

  • Stir the sifted flour, baking soda, cream of tartar, and salt together in a bowl.
  • Beat the margarine, butter and sugar together with an electric mixer in a large bowl until smooth.

Provided by Lady Lou

Categories     Dessert

Time 1h

Yield 48 cookies, 48 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 cups solid shortening
1 cup sugar
1 cup brown sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla
2 eggs
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
4 cups flour
1/2 cup sugar (for top of cookies)

Steps:

  • Cream together the first four ingredients until smooth.
  • Add baking soda and salt.
  • Add flour one cup at a time and mix until well blended.
  • Using a soup spoon, scoop out some dough and place it in your palm. Using both hands, roll into a ball and place on a cookie sheet, leaving room for it to spread.
  • Once you have filled the sheet with balls, place 1/2 cup sugar into a little container, and dip the bottom of a drinking glass into it and use it to flatten dough balls. Flatten each ball until it is about 1/3 inch thick. Dip the glass into the sugar again after you flatten each ball.
  • Bake at 350 degrees for 10 minutes.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. Look for fresh butter, pure vanilla extract, and high-quality chocolate chips.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing can make the cookies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the dough before baking. Chilling the dough helps the cookies hold their shape and prevents them from spreading too much.
  • Bake the cookies at the right temperature. The cookies should be baked at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 10-12 minutes, or until they are golden brown around the edges.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before serving. This allows the flavors to develop and the cookies to set properly.
