You'll probably notice that I've been focusing a lot of attention on homemade cookies lately. You're absolutely right, I have! No matter how old you are, milk and cookies bring out the kid in all of us.
Cookies!
Years ago, when we made cookies, we'd make really big batches. I mean BIG batches. Our mixer was a 30 quart Univex and it could plow through anything. No matter how stiff the cookie dough was, those beaters would just keep on mixing.
Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipe
The most requested cookie by far was for my Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipe. Of course, we wouldn't give our secret recipes out back then, that would be plain foolish.
The second most sought after was the Best Peanut Butter Cookies Recipe in the world. My mom made them from a recipe my Grandma gave her years and years ago. I remember making these for my Dad when I was only 8! Over the years we had to tweak the recipe many times to get it to withstand customers squeezing the cookies in the supermarkets, but this recipe is the original Peanut Butter Cookies Recipe. Try it, I think you'll agree that it's your favorite too!
Soft Molasses Cookies was a close tie. These cookies came from my Grandma's recipe journal that I inherited. This recipe went through a major refit also. They're the ones you remember from childhood. The cookie dough was spicy with cinnamon, nutmeg and just the right amount of cloves. Then they were rolled into balls and dipped in sugar. They had the familiar cracks on the top which made them even more endearing.
So, make the kid in you happy and make a batch of each this week. You know you want to!
