GRANDMA'S CLASSIC NO-BAKE COOKIES



Grandma's Classic No-Bake Cookies image

This is the first cookie I ever learned to make as a child. They're very delicious with the peanut butter and oatmeal. You can eat them fresh out of the pan in a bowl with a spoon, which is delicious with a glass of milk besides. This no-bake cookie recipe was my grandmother's, and my mother taught it to her children, and I will to mine. I hope you have as much fun making this either by yourself or with your children, as I did with my mom. Separate cookies with waxed paper if putting in a tin or baggie to prevent sticking.

GRANDMA GERTIE'S OLD FASHIONED SUGAR COOKIES



Grandma Gertie's Old Fashioned Sugar Cookies image

My grandma used to make these. She made huge cookies and we used to get so excited when we knew she was making cookies! These have been a favorite for years. The sour cream makes the cookies soft and the extra extract makes them stand out from "regular" sugar cookies. Sometimes I substitute lemon extract for the almond extract.

GRANDMA'S OLD FASHIONED OATMEAL COOKIES



Grandma's Old Fashioned Oatmeal Cookies image

I have the pleasure of reading and translating my gran's recipes - written in German some of them are difficult to translate - and then to take them from the era of lard and bacon grease to a healthier you - well here's one that came out great !! enjoy...

Provided by Ravenseyes

Categories     Dessert

Time 23m

Yield 24 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup unbleached flour
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
14 tablespoons unsalted butter (1 3/4 sticks at room temp)
1 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup light brown sugar (packed)
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 1/2 cups old fashioned oats (old fashioned type no instant stuff)

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350°F - you will need 3 baking sheets lined with parchment paper (again the parchment keeps the cookie from burning and makes clean up faster).
  • Whisk together flour, baking powder, soda and salt.
  • Beat together with mixer at low speed - butter and sugar until the sugar granules are not visible. Increase speed and beat 1 minute longer, scrape sides as needed and add egg, beat another 30 seconds. Add flour mixture 1/3 at a time and incorporate well over med speed until mixture is smooth. Add oatmeal and stir into the dough using your rubber spatula.
  • Divide into 24 equal portions and bake for 13 to 16 minutes placing only one cookie sheet in the oven at a time and rotating the cookie sheet half way through your cooking time -- these are the best and the thinnest cookies and very crispy.

OLD-FASHIONED RAISIN-FILLED COOKIES



Old-Fashioned Raisin-Filled Cookies image

Lovely on a cookie platter - gone first, you'll see. Truly old-fashioned delicious flavor. From the Old Farmer's Almanac recipes.

Provided by Busters friend

Categories     Dessert

Time 35m

Yield 3 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 cups raisins, chopped
2/3 cup sugar
2/3 cup water
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon butter
1 cup sugar
1 cup butter
1 egg, beaten
3 cups sifted flour
3 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup milk
2 teaspoons vanilla

Steps:

  • Filling:.
  • Cook raisins with sugar and water for 10 to 15 minutes, or until thick, stirring occasionally.
  • Remove from heat and add lemon juice and butter.
  • Let cool while preparing dough.
  • Cookie Dough:.
  • Cream sugar and butter; add egg and mix well.
  • Combine flour, baking powder, and salt, and add alternately to sugar mixture with milk and vanilla extract.
  • Roll out a portion of the dough to 1/8-inch thickness and cut into rounds with a biscuit cutter.
  • Place a teaspoonful of filling on the center of a round, then cover with another round and press edges together.
  • Bake at 350 degrees F until golden brown (10 to 15 minutes).

Tips:

  • Measure your ingredients accurately: Baking is a science, and precise measurements are essential for success. Use a kitchen scale to weigh your ingredients for the most accurate results.
  • Make sure your butter is at room temperature: This will help it cream together with the sugar properly and create a smooth and fluffy dough.
  • Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing will make the cookies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the dough before baking: This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much in the oven.
  • Bake the cookies until they are just set: Overbaking will make them dry and crumbly. The edges of the cookies should be golden brown and the centers should be slightly soft.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before filling: This will help prevent the filling from melting and making the cookies soggy.

Conclusion:

Grandmother's Old-Fashioned Filled Cookies are a delicious and nostalgic treat that are perfect for any occasion. With their simple ingredients and easy-to-follow instructions, these cookies are a great way to bring back memories of childhood.
