FOOTHILLS HOUSE SWEET DREAMS COOKIES



Foothills House Sweet Dreams Cookies image

Another recipe from Bon Appetit magazine (February 1986). This came from Foothills House, in Calistoga, California. I've never stayed there but from the online reviews, it's a wonderful little country inn with fabulous service and as of 2008 they were still giving these cookies to their guests every night. If I'm ever in that part of California for the night, I'm going to stay there! These are sweetly spiced cinnamon and ginger flavoured chocolate chip cookies rolled in powdered sugar before baking. I'm very glad the owner of the inn shared these with Bon Appetit.

CHOCOLATE DREAM COOKIES (NO BAKE)



Chocolate Dream Cookies (No Bake) image

My dad brought this recipe home from the Navy nearly 50 years ago. I have been making them since I could stand on a chair by the stove and stir. The peanut butter in this recipe makes these cookies a little different than similar recipes I've seen here.

HAPPY DREAMS COOKIES



HAPPY DREAMS COOKIES image

Categories     Cookies     Chocolate     Dessert     Bake

Yield 2 to 2 1/2 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 egg whites
2/3 cup white sugar
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
1/2 cup peanut butter chips
1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees). Line baking sheets with foil. 2. Beat the egg whites until creamy. Gradually beat in the sugar and beat until stiff peaks form. Fold in the peanut butter chips, chocolate chips and walnuts. Fold in the vanilla. Drop by teaspoonfuls onto the prepared baking sheets. 3.

Tips:

  • Use room temperature ingredients. This will help your cookies spread evenly and bake more consistently.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make your cookies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the dough before baking. Chilling the dough will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Use a cookie scoop to portion the dough. This will help ensure that all of your cookies are the same size and shape.
  • Bake the cookies at the right temperature. The ideal temperature for baking cookies is 350 degrees Fahrenheit. If you bake the cookies at a higher temperature, they will brown too quickly and may burn.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before frosting or decorating them. This will help prevent the frosting from melting.
