The random number generator stayed in the Family Favorites section of the book with the Hidden Chocolate Cookies on p. 74. These deceiving cookies hold a minty chocolate candy inside. The Hidden Chocolate Cookies are another fairly standard dough with creamed sugar and butter, add the egg and vanilla, and mix in the dry ingredients….
Magic Carpet Cookies
Next up were the Magic Carpet Cookies in the Cookies for Children sub-section of Family Favorites on p. 58. These fanciful-looking butter cookies have a layer of jam that can make them any flavor you’d like. The Magic Carpet Cookies were another roll-out cookie. As most cookies, they start by creaming the sugar and butter,…
Stone Jar Molasses Cookies
The random number generator next took me to the Heritage section of the Family Favorites on page 82 of the cookbook with Stone Jar Molasses Cookies, roll-out chewy molasses cookies. These start by boiling the molasses, then adding the shortening and then finally stirring in the rest of the ingredients. So, the unusual part is…
Ginger Almond Cookies
The random number generator brought me back to the Cookie Primer section of the cookbook with Ginger Almond Cookies on p. 15. These were crispy, spicy ginger cookies. The Ginger Almond Cookies were another refrigerator cookie. They start by mixing the butter, sugar, and molassas until fluffy. Then add the flour and the other dry…
Cherry Almond Macaroons
Next up were Cherry Almond Macaroons in the Company Best Cookies section of the cookbook on p. 121. These were little balls of almond and cherry flavor. Cherry Almond Macaroons were made from ground almonds, egg whites, sugar, and chopped up maraschino cherries. They’re made by cooking the nuts, sugar, egg whites in a saucepan…
Ting-a-Lings
The random number generator kept me in the Company Best Cookies section of the cookbook with Ting-a-Lings on p. 133. These were simple melt, mix and drop cookies chock full of butterscotch. The Ting-a-Lings are perhaps the simpliest cookie so far in the book. There were several variations from chocolate mixed with Wheaties to the…
Tiny Fudge Tarts
The random number generator stayed in the Company Best Cookies section with Tiny Fudge Tarts on p. 125 this week. These were pastry-like cookies with a slightly sweet chocolate filling. I was worried that the Tiny Fudge Tarts were going to be a lot of work, because they have a pastry-like cooky with a filling,…
Orange Oatmeal Cookies
I caught up on the random number generator with the Orange Oatmeal Cookies from the Company Best Cookies section of the cookbook on p. 128. These were crunchy oatmeal cookies with a hint of orange. The Orange Oatmeal Cookies were very standard drop-type cookies. They start by mixing the butter, eggs, sugar, orange juice and…
Cocoa Brownies
I had to jump ahead of the random number generator because I was waiting on some ingredients, so I skipped the next one and made the Cocoa Brownies from the Betty Crocker’s Best Cookies section of the cookbook on p. 142. These were slightly sweet, chocolate-y brownies. I know I’ve made blondies from scratch, but…
Cream Pralines
The random number generator kept me in the Company-Best section of the cookbook with Cream Pralines from p. 134. These were very sweet candy-coated pecans. These were more of a candy than a cooky, with the brown sugar, evaporated milk, butter, salt and water boiled over the stove until the sugar dissolves. Then the pecans…
