A soft, cake like cookie. This is a very sweet cookie, so reduce sugar if desired. While mini chocolate chips are preferred, I think these are best with a mix of dark chocolate and milk chocolate chips.
Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies
Patmos “Amazing Oatmeal Cookies”
Andrea learned how to make these cookies while working in the kitchen over the past few summers. This is our favorite way to make them.
Macadamia Nut Cookies
The white chocolate chips make these a super sweet cookie, so we reduced the sugar by over a half cup. According to our taste testers, these are the the perfect sweetness.
(Hint: While these are great cookies, Momma prefers with part chocolate chips)
No Bake Chocolate Cookies
Megan discovered these on the snack table at church. So I had to find her a recipe and she made them right away.
Chocolate chip, brown butter, pecan cookies
Molasses Cookies
A favorite, special cookie our neighbor, Marilyn shares with us over the holidays. The recipe is slightly vague, but if you have made cookies before, adjusting the amount of flour to your preference is easy. I kept the recipe mostly as written, because that is part of its charm.
Gingerbread Chai Biscotti
These are a drier biscotti, but are wonderful with hot chocolate or tea.
Pistachio, Cranberry, White Chocolate Biscotti
Andrea decided we needed some biscotti for our tea. Instead of using plain white chocolate, she caramelized some. She found many different recipes for caramelizing white chocolate online. It made the biscotti extra good, but the cookie was a little sweeter than we liked. Next time we make this, we plan to reduce the sugar some.
Canadian Moose Fart Cookies
We are studying world history and geography this year. As part of geography, we look for unique international recipes that we can try. While looking, I found a few recipes for “Moose Fart” no bake cookies. It seems they are from Newfoundland, but other places have similar recipes with different names.
These are good, but very sweet. We tried adding more graham cracker crumbs and less coconut, but they were dry and not so good. They would be extra good with nuts, so we added optional pecans to the recipe. When we shared the original recipe with friends, they disappeared very quickly.
To make the chocolate version, check out the notes.
Marble Cookie Squares
Another recipe from Aunt Bonnie’s recipe box. We baked ours in a pie pan which worked very well also. The card did not included time to bake, but we just let our set up like a cookie.
One thing I really like about many of the recipes from Aunt Bonnie is the recipe makes a small amount. There was enough here for us, but no left overs. I am not sure when she copied this recipe, but when I looked it up, it looks like it was popular in the early 1960’s.
