Cookies?

[she_is_my_addiction]

A woman told me recently that she loves me more than cookies. That in itself was a beautiful thing for her to say to me because she loves cookies so much, sometimes it seems, more than anything. But this woman loves me more than cookies. So I want to know....how much do you love cookies?

I love my SO's cookies.

Hey now, more information is needed here.

Are we talking about plain, hard cookies?

Are we talking about big, chewy, packed chocolate chip cookies?

If you want correct answers, you must first ask the right questions.

JMHO.

I thought this was gonna be a technical question about the functionallity of the board - logging back in, etc, and I was about to reply: Make sure cookies are turned on.

It's that time of year again

To make up a batch of my famous old fashioned tea cake Christmas cookies. Been making them since I was a kid. Not easy to make, but they are the most delicious cookies in the world, bar none!
Yummy

Good Pfeffernüsse, or dipped shortbread, or my daughter's peanut butter cookies.

Wow. But I would reluctantly forswear them all for her.

Quitting smoking for her is relatively much more fuckin difficult, though!

I believe you Brits call them biscuits.

Here in the states a biscuit is something different.

 

[oggbashan]

There are biscuits and biscuits.

I wouldn't recommend a lifeboat biscuit unless desperate.

A Penguin is better.

Recipes anyone?...The tea cake cookies sound yummy.

 

[cheerful_deviant]

When I'm feeling lazy, Toll House chocolate chip cookies, taken out a minute or two early so they are nice and gooey. Mmmmm.

When I'm feeling more ambitious, home made butter cookies with real frosting on top. Ahhhh... a little bit of heaven.

Dammit... now I'm hungry.

Ogg, I'm taking cookies to mean either the big squishy things that you cook at home or get from a cookie shop. Of course there are maryland biscuit/cookie things, but we'll ignore them.

Cup Cakes

My RL brother once worked for a regional bakery company as their lead research chemist. That was many years ago.

Their Managing Director (and majority shareholder) went to a baking machinery event in Chicago. He drank too much and ordered a cup-cake making machine from the manufacturers. The best they made.

He had forgotten that the English don't eat cup-cakes. When the machine arrived no one knew what to do with it. Just running it for an hour produced more cup-cakes than could be sold in the whole of the UK in a month.

The marketing department were told to work with the research department, including my brother, and were given a priority task to develop something that the machine could produce that the English would buy.

They invented Walnut Whips which are sold as sweets, not bakery products, and the market experts started a major campaign.

Even with their best efforts the machine produced a month's supply in a week.

As far as I know that single machine still produces all the Walnut Whips sold in the UK.

The company were taken over by a larger combine and my brother changed jobs. He hates Walnut Whips.

UK and US tastes are different.

A perfect little cupcake with frosting and sprinkles? But, but, how can that be?

cookiejar, for you and anyone else

Recipes anyone?...The tea cake cookies sound yummy.

Old Fashioned Tea Cakes:
1 cup cooking oil
2 eggs
1 cup white (Granulated) sugar
1 cup powdered sugar
2 sticks margarine (Room temp) 1 stick = 1/2 cup
1 tablespoon real vanilla flavoring
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
5 cups plain flour (Sifted)(Not self rising?)

Mix the first 8 ingredients together, then add the flour.
Mix well. Work with hands into a large ball.

At this point, if you want to use cookie cutters, it would be wise to chill it in the fridge for several hours. It is easier to work with that way, because the mix can be very sticky. I use flour on a cutting board, roll it out, then use Christmas cutters to make the shapes. Decorate the raw shapes at will with sprinkles, etc. You could just make balls with your hands and pat them flat onto a baking pan if you don't want the fancy shapes.

Bake ~15 minutes at 325degrees. Overcooking makes them hard. Undercooking makes them soft and melt-in-your-mouth delicious!
