Double Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies Recipe

October 7, 2014 By Katie Leave a Comment

Double Chocolate Oatmeal Cookies loaded with lots of cocoa & chocolate chips!

My Mom always used to take a chocolate cookie mix & add oatmeal & extra chocolate chips to it. I wanted to try making a homemade version of the same thing. Chocolate Cookie + Oatmeal + Chocolate Chips = Double Chocolate Oatmeal Cookies! After trying these I don’t think my Mom will be making it the other way anymore. She thought this recipe from scratch tasted much better. Which was exactly what I was hoping for.

Warning: These cookies are extremely chocolaty! If you are a chocolate lover then I think you will find this recipe to your liking.

It’s a little hard to tell when these cookies are done baking because you won’t see any golden edges. I baked mine for 10 minutes & they were perfectly done. The tops start to crackle when they are about done. After you remove them from the oven leave them on the cookie sheet for at least 5 minutes because they will continue to cook & flatten out.

Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies

Classic Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies, soft & chewy.

Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies, the cookie recipe that always has me coming back from one more. These cookies are so addicting! I must admit that I have a weakness for these chewy gooey oatmeal chocolate chip cookies. I think they taste great but they also have sentimental meaning to me.

I still remember the first time I ever had one. I was a kid over at my aunts house playing with my cousins and my aunt had just pulled two cookies sheets of fresh cookies out of her double oven and when they were cool enough to try I couldn’t stop myself at just one, I had to have three! And there began my love for oatmeal chocolate chip cookies. When I was old enough to start baking on my own I called my aunt up & asked for her for her amazing recipe. And the rest is history, I’ve been baking up batches of these cookies ever since.

Amish Sugar Cookies Recipe

Amish Sugar Cookies: a melt in your mouth sugar cookie sprinkled with powdered sugar on top.

This recipe dates back to the 1960’s with my family. Amish Sugar Cookies were always my Mom’s go to sugar cookie recipe when I was a kid. In fact they might have been the very first sugar cookie I ever ate so forgive me if I sound a bit bias about this recipe. I really love these cookies! They definitely rank in my top 10 favorite cookie recipes. Amish Sugar Cookies are not your typical sugar cookie by any means, they have a slightly crumbly texture & they practically melt in your mouth.

I always sprinkle them with powdered sugar before I bake them in the oven because that is how my Mom always made them but you can also top them with sprinkles, frosting, or leave them plain.

Sprinkle with powdered sugar.
Bake for 10 minutes or until you see some of the edges turning just a slight golden brown. (Be careful not to over bake them).

Old Fashioned Soft Sugar Cookies Recipe

A thick, soft, old-fashioned sugar cookie topped with buttercream frosting and sprinkles.

My obsession with sugar cookies continues…I’m pretty sure that I have made more sugar cookies than any other type of cookie out there. My collection of sugar cookie recipes really needs it’s own recipe box. When I come across a good sugar cookie recipe you know I’m going to have to share it with you, I can’t keep it all to myself! I know I am not the only sugar cookie lover out there.

Just this week I made two different types of sugar cookies. I was craving a thick, soft, old fashioned sugar cookie, like the awesome one’s that my Grandma used to make for me when I was a kid. Yes, sugar cookies are my comfort food. They bring back good memories. This recipe was just what I needed to cheer myself up after having what felt like the longest cold ever.

Frosted Shortbread Cookies

April 14, 2014 By Katie Leave a Comment

These cookies have that amazing melt in your mouth texture.

Shortbread cookies are one of my all time favorite types of cookies. I’ve seriously never had a shortbread cookie I didn’t like whether it was homemade or store bought (and I don’t like store bought cookies normally). I’m crazy about sugar cookies too but the thing about shortbread cookies compared to sugar cookies is that they usually have less ingredients, these only have 5 ingredients! They are really simple & yet they are buttery deliciousness. I have never made a cookie that had more of a melt in your mouth texture as this recipe.

Since this cookie recipe doesn’t contain any leavening like baking soda or baking powder they won’t rise or really change there shape at all during baking so make sure you flatten them out to the thickness you want them to be before you place them in the oven. I like to use the bottom of a glass cup to flatten the cookies. This recipe made about 34 cookies but you can easily make half a recipe if you want to make less.

Frosted Shortbread Cookies

Recipe type: Cookies

Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup salted butter, softened
½ cup confectioners sugar (powdered sugar)
1 large egg yolk
1 teaspoon vanilla
Frosting:
3 cups confectioners sugar (powdered sugar)
2 teaspoons vanilla
4 tablespoons milk
4 tablespoons butter, softened

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line cookie sheets with silicone baking mats or parchment paper.
In a medium sized mixing bowl add sugar & butter & beat with electric mixer on medium speed until light & fluffy (about 30 seconds).
Add egg yolk & vanilla & mix on medium speed until combined.
Gradually add flour to mixture & beat on medium speed until just combined.
Roll dough into 1 inch balls & place on cookie sheets about 2 inches apart. Using the bottom of a cup or fork flatten the balls to about ¼ inch thick. (Use powdered sugar to coat the bottom of the cup to prevent the dough from sticking).
Place in oven for 8-10 minutes & rotate cookie sheet halfway through baking.
Remove from oven, after 2 minutes transfer baking mat/paper to wire rack to cool completely. Frost when cooled if desired.
Frosting: Combine the confectioners sugar, vanilla, milk, & butter in a medium sized mixing bowl, beat with electric mixer on medium speed until frosting is smooth & creamy. If you want it thinner just add a little more milk or if you need it thicker add more milk until the desired consistency is achieved.
