The Best Chocolate Chip Cookies
Elena Brower
(I usually double it)
2/3 c. shortening
1/2 c. granulated sugar
1/2 c. brown sugar
1 egg
1/2 tsp. vanilla
1 1/2 c. flour
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. baking soda
Chocolate chips
Preheat oven to 375. Cream together shortening and sugars. Add egg and vanilla and mix. Add flour, salt, and baking soda. Mix until well combined. Dough should be quite stiff, almost crumbly, but not quite. Add more flour if you need to. Add choc chips. (I like raisins in mine, too). Bake on ungreased cookie sheet about 8-9 minutes. The trick is to pull them out just as the edges START to brown. Let them sit in the pan for a few more minute to cool a bit or they will fall apart when you try to lift them off. These are chewy and best eaten right away, and then you can make another batch for your kids and husband!! ha ha
Hamburger Cookies
Julie John
Few drops water
1 drop green food coloring
1/4 cup flaked coconut
48 vanilla wafers
24 grasshopper cookies
Sesame Seed or Poppy Seed
Turn oven to 350. In a small screw-top jar combine water and food coloring. Add coconut; cover and shake until all of the coconut is tinted. Set aside.
Place half of the vanilla waters, flat side up, on an ungreased cookie sheet. Top each with a grasshopper cookie. Place in the oven about 1 minute or just until chocolate begins to soften.
Sprinkle each with a little bit of tinted coconut. Top with another vanilla wafer. Press gently. Brush the top vanilla wafer with just enough water to moisten so the sesame seed will stick.
Sprinkle each cookie with a little sesame seed and serve.
