cookies
So this year I have made more cookies than I think in the last 5 years combined.
3 batches for TG. 2 batches last week. 2 more batches made for work + more cookies to be made for Xmas.
So my normal cookie recipe is:
3 sticks of butter
3/4 c white sugar
3/4 c light brown sugar packed
3 c flower (all purpose or white)
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp vanilla
1 heaping TBSP Nutella
2 eggs
1 C dried cherries
10 oz bag of white chocolate chips
Preheat oven to 350. Mix softened butter with sugars when smooth add in eggs, salt, baking soda & Nutella. Once mixed well add in flour 1 cup at a time and mix well. Add Cherries & Chocolate chips and mix. I use a small cookie (otherwise known as a melon ball scoop) scoop to ensure my cookies are evenly distributed and a reasonable size. I cook my cookies for about 10 min. They are super popular.
I was also looking for an oatmeal cookie recipe, because I love oatmeal cookies, but have never made a batch I truly like.
Well I finally found a recipe I like: http://smittenkitchen.com/blog/2009/02/thick-chewy-oatmeal-raisin-cookies/ I 86 the walnuts and switched out the raisins for dried cherries (this was done because I didn't have raisins on hand and was just looking for a semi plausible alternative). IMO the cherries made the cookies better. :D
