Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes     Cookie Recipes

Yield Makes 12 to 16

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/4 cup cocoa powder
12 to 16 twelve-inch lengths of 3/8-inch plaid ribbon, for collar (optional)

Steps:

  • Line two rimmed baking sheets with Silpats or parchment paper. Sift together flour and salt in a small bowl; set aside. In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream butter until fluffy, 3 to 5 minutes. Add confectioners' sugar, and continue to beat until very light in color and fluffy, occasionally scraping down the sides of the bowl with a spatula, about 2 minutes more. Add vanilla, and beat to combine. Add flour mixture, and combine on low speed, scraping with spatula if necessary, until flour is just incorporated and dough sticks together when squeezed with fingers.
  • Remove half of the dough from bowl. Form dough into a flat disc, and wrap it in plastic. Add cocoa to remaining dough, mix until well combined, and form into a flat disc; wrap in plastic. Chill both discs until firm, at least 1 hour.
  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Roll out one disc to a 1/4-inch thickness. Cut out shapes using a Scottie dog-shaped cookie cutter, and place on prepared baking sheets. Scraps can be gathered together and re-rolled once. Repeat with remaining disc. Bake until firm and just starting to color, 13 to 15 minutes. Cool completely on a wire rack before decorating. Tie a length of ribbon around the neck of each dog to form a collar, if desired. Cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for 3 to 4 weeks.

HOW TO MAKE THE BEST SUGAR COOKIES RECIPE BY TASTY



How to Make the Best Sugar Cookies Recipe by Tasty image

Here's what you need: unsalted butter, granulated sugar, cream cheese, large egg, large egg yolks, McCormick® vanilla extract, McCormick® almond extract, kosher salt, all purpose flour, baking powder, cream of tartar, powdered sugar, kosher salt, vanilla extract, gel food coloring, water, pasteurized egg white

Provided by Scott Loitsch

Categories     Desserts

Yield 12 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 17

24 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
1 ½ cups granulated sugar
3 tablespoons cream cheese, softened
1 large egg
2 large egg yolks
1 teaspoon McCormick® vanilla extract
½ teaspoon McCormick® almond extract
1 teaspoon kosher salt
3 ½ cups all purpose flour, plus more for dusting
½ teaspoon baking powder
2 teaspoons cream of tartar
4 cups powdered sugar
½ teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
gel food coloring, of your choice
water, as needed
¼ cup pasteurized egg white

Steps:

  • Make the cookie dough: In a large bowl, cream together the butter, sugar, and cream cheese with an electric hand mixer on high speed for about 5 minutes, until fluffy and the sugar is mostly dissolved. Scrape down the bowl as needed to evenly beat the mixture.
  • Add the egg, egg yolks, vanilla, and almond extract and mix well, scraping down the sides of the bowl.
  • Add the salt, then sift the flour, baking powder, and cream of tartar into the bowl and fold to incorporate some of the flour. Then beat on low speed, just until incorporated and the dough comes together.
  • Shape the dough into a flat disc and wrap tightly in plastic wrap. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or up to 3-4 days.
  • When ready to bake the cookies, preheat the oven to 350˚F (180˚C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Remove the dough from the fridge and let sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften slightly.
  • On a lightly floured surface, roll out the cookie dough with a rolling pin to ¼-inch (6mm) thick.
  • Dip cookie cutters of your choice in some extra flour and cut out shapes from the dough. Gather any excess dough into a ball and chill in the fridge to firm, then re-roll and cut out more cookies. Place the cookies on the prepared baking sheet and chill for at least 20 minutes to ensure they hold their shapes.
  • Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges just barely start to turn golden brown. Cool completely on a wire rack before decorating with royal icing or frosting.
  • To make the royal icing, sift the powdered sugar into a large bowl and add the salt. On one side of the bowl, add the vanilla and egg whites.
  • Where you added the liquids, begin whisking the powdered sugar into the liquids, gathering a bit more as you whisk to prevent lumps from forming, until all of the powdered sugar is incorporated. Add food coloring, if desired, and whisk to incorporate. You can divide the icing into smaller bowls to make more than one color. At this point, the icing should be a good consistency for piping borders. If you'd like the frosting to be looser to flood or dip your cookies, add a few tablespoons of water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until it reaches your desired consistency.
  • Decorate the cookies as desired.
  • Enjoy!

THE BEST CHEWY CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES RECIPE BY TASTY



The Best Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipe by Tasty image

There are a few secrets to the best classic, chewy chocolate chip cookies. Number one: Don't use chips; instead, opt for a mix of milk or semisweet and dark chocolate chunks. The second is to let the dough rest overnight or longer for a more complex, toffee-like flavor. Lastly, use an ice cream scooper to get even-sized cookies every time. And that's it! With these little tweaks, the result is a cookie that's textured on the outside, and soft and gooey on the inside. Absolutely perfect!

Provided by Alvin Zhou

Categories     Desserts

Time 1h5m

Yield 12 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 10

½ cup granulated sugar
¾ cup brown sugar, packed
1 teaspoon salt
½ cup unsalted butter, melted
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon baking soda
4 oz milk or semi-sweet chocolate chunks
4 oz dark chocolate chunk, or your preference

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, whisk together the sugars, salt, and butter until a paste forms with no lumps.
  • Whisk in the egg and vanilla, beating until light ribbons fall off the whisk and remain for a short while before falling back into the mixture.
  • Sift in the flour and baking soda, then fold the mixture with a spatula (Be careful not to overmix, which would cause the gluten in the flour to toughen resulting in cakier cookies).
  • Fold in the chocolate chunks, then chill the dough for at least 30 minutes. For a more intense toffee-like flavor and deeper color, chill the dough overnight. The longer the dough rests, the more complex its flavor will be.
  • Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Scoop the dough with an ice-cream scoop onto a parchment paper-lined baking sheet, leaving at least 4 inches (10 cm) of space between cookies and 2 inches (5 cm) of space from the edges of the pan so that the cookies can spread evenly.
  • Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges have started to barely brown.
  • Cool completely before serving.
  • Enjoy!

Provided by Caryn

Categories     Drop Cookies

Time 25m

Yield 4 dozen cookies or bars

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 1/4 cups unsifted flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1 cup butter, softened
3/4 cup brown sugar, firmly packed
3/4 cup granulated sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 cups Old-Fashioned Quaker oats
1 (11 ounce) package NESTLÉ® TOLL HOUSE® Butterscotch Flavored Morsels (about 2 cups)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Combine flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon in a small bowl; set aside.
  • Beat butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract in a large bowl.
  • Gradually beat in flour mixture.
  • Stir in oats and morsels.
  • Drop by rounded Tablespoonfuls onto an ungreased baking sheet.
  • Bake 7 to 8 minutes for chewy cookies, 9 to 10 minutes for crisp cookies.
  • Cool on baking sheets for 2 minutes, remove to wire racks to cool completely.
  • Pan Cookie Variation: Grease 15x10-inch jelly-roll pan.
  • Prepare dough as above.
  • Spread in prepared pan.
  • Bake for 18 to 22 minutes or until lightly browned.
  • Cool completely in pan on wire rack.

Tips:

  • Always use unsalted butter for baking, as salted butter can make your cookies too salty.
  • Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will help to incorporate air into the cookies, making them light and airy.
  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help to prevent the cookies from spreading too much in the oven.
  • Use a cookie scoop to drop the dough onto the baking sheets. This will help to ensure that the cookies are all the same size and shape.
  • Bake the cookies until they are just set around the edges. Overbaking will make them dry and crumbly.
  • Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
