I plan on baking a bunch of cookies tonight for Thanksgiving over at my folks. (My dad always says we don’t need to bring anything, but when I mention I was going to bring cookies, that’s okay )
I love the Nestle Tollhouse chocolate chip cookies, and they’ve come out with Pumpkin Spice chips that make into a good cookie (you mix in pumpkin puree) but I also have a weakness for soft gingersnap molasses cookies. Nestle also has Delightfulls and Ivylad loves the cherry filled morsels, although the bag is smaller compared to the regular chocolate chips.
Shortbread is okay, but it’s not my cookie of choice. I’m also take-it-or-leave-it with peanut butter cookies.
Mix thoroughly till fully blended. Scoop onto cookie sheet, spreading with a fork. Bake at 350 for 8-10 minutes.
I’ve been known to add chocolate or butterscotch chips as a fourth ingredient. I think I raised my cholesterol 40 points on these a few Christmas seasons ago.
I love homemade toll-house cookies. With nuts, as God intended.
For store-bought cookies, I’ll go with doublestuff Oreos - but the Taffy cookies by Mother’s Bakery are realllllllly good when I’m in the mood for 'em.
I like everything that’s been mentioned thus far, but my aunt and grandmother used to make an equivalent to Danish Wedding Cookies with the powdered sugar coating that were hard to leave alone. Now and then somebody will include them in a choice and that’s all I’ll want to eat.
I make oatmeal cookies with walnuts and dried fruits (raisins, apricots, whatever), cinnamon, etc. They’re large diameter, crunchy on the edges, chewy in the middle, and have been praised far and wide.
*Nestlé Tollhouse (us Americans just butcher the French language)
*Pecan Butter Balls (Flour, sugar, salt, vanilla, pecans and a boat load of butter)
*Spice Cookies (the usual stuff plus molasses, cloves, cinnamon and ginger. My aunt always made these and when Mom got the recipe from her, they never quite came out the same.)
