Best Cookie Recipe Ever?

Question

I asked this question earlier today but wanted to hit a different group of people. OK I am looking for the best cookies you have ever had. I have been to all the site, that's not what I need. I also am a pretty good baker so I am not looking for advice on how to make cookies better. I want a tried and true recipe of cookies that you had to keep eating cause they were the best you ever had. Preferably not your basic chocolate chip. Thanks.

Answer 1

Old recipe but it tastes just as great as any newer cookie!

Answer 2

Snickerdoodles was a good answer.  My mother used to make those when I was a kid.  She also made these, which might be my favorite cookie of all time:

Seven Layer Cookies

Cook Time: 30 minutes

Ingredients:

4 ounces butter

1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs

1 (6 oz.) pkg. chocolate chips

1 (6 oz.) pkg. butterscotch chips

1 small can shredded coconut (1 1/3 cups)

1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk

1 to 1 1/2 cups chopped pecans

Preparation:

Preheat oven to 350°. Melt butter in 9x13-inch baking pan. Sprinkle graham cracker crumbs over melted butter; spread crumbs with chocolate chips, then butterscotch chips. Sprinkle coconut over this, then drizzle the sweetened condensed milk evenly over all. Sprinkle with the chopped pecans. Bake for about 25 to 30 minutes. Cool and cut in 1 1/2-inch squares.  

Answer 3

Answer 4

My mother and I always made these at Christmas, they look beautiful, and they are really tasty. We got the recipe from the old Betty Crocker cook book.  They are called Thumb Print Cookies.

recipe:

1/4 cup packed brown sugar

1/4 cup shortening

1/4 butter

1 large egg separated

1/2 tsp vanilla

1 cup all purpose flour

1/4 tsp salt

1/4 cup finely chopped nuts.

Jelly perserves or Jams

You can double or triple this recipe no problem.. you will be glad you did.

Heat oven to 350F. Mix brown sugar, shortening, butter, egg yolk and vanilla.  Mix in the flour and salt until dough holds together.  Shape dough into 1 inch balls.

Beat egg white slightly.  Dip each ball into egg white, roll in nuts.  Place about 1 inch apart on ungreased cookie sheet; press thumb deeply in the center of each so that you have a small crater.  Bake 8-9 minutes.

Immediately remove from cookie sheet and cool.  Fill the thumb prints with different colored jellies or jams.. They look spectacular and they taste great.  A Christmas tradition in our house.  I have had my copy of the cook book since the 70's.  I bought it when my mothers fell apart.

Answer 6

Answer 7

Well I would not call this "Just a basic chocolate chip"

Treasure chip cookies

1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs

1/2 cup all-purpose flour

2 teaspoons baking powder

1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk

1/2 cup butter, melted

1 1/3 cups flaked coconut

2 cups semisweet chocolate chips

1 cup chopped pecans (or walnuts)

1) Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

2) In a small bowl mix cracker crumbs, flour and baking powder.

3) In a large mixing bowl, beat condensed milk and margarine until smooth.

4) Add cracker crumb mixture and blend well. Stir in coconut, chocolate chips, and pecans.

5) Drop by rounded teaspoon on a cookie sheet sprayed with non-stick spray. Bake 9-10 minutes or until lightly browned. Store loosely covered at room temperature.

I usually add some chopped cherries in - rehydrated dry OR marachino.  

Answer 8

I call them Julio cookies because my aunt Julie made them for me when i was a kid. They are simply two Ritz Crackers with peanut butter between them and covered in chocolate. The girl scouts come close... and she never told me what she used but those are my fav.
