Cookie Recipes

Cookies are popular the world round.
They have a very national character. We have made use of many of the recipes brought to us by settlers, early and late. Our repertoire of cookies is, therefore, rich and varied. There are dropped cookies, rolled cookies, refrigerate cookies and molded cookies, bar cookies. All easy recipes to make and stay fresh in a jar or a covered tin.

Drop cookies are made from a soft dough and dropped from the spoon directly onto the baking sheet. Actually, dropped is a little misleading, as the mixture must be stiff enough to be pushed from the soon. Dropped cookies can be soft, with a cake like texture; crisp; or even brittle. Their shape is irregular, as they spread on the cookie sheet. You can make them in wide variety of delicious flavors.

Refrigerate Cookies: Refrigerator cookies are made from a stiff dough that must be chilled in the refrigerator until its firm so that it can be sliced as thin and even as possible The great advantage of refrigerator cookies is that the dough, can be kept on hand in the refrigerator almost indefinitely, and the cookies sliced and baked as you need them.

Rolled Cookies: are made from dough stiff enough to roll thin. Through chilling of the dough is one of the first principles of successful rolled cookies. The dough should be handled a little at a time, leaving the rest to chill in the refrigerator. If you're in a hurry, roll dough into a oblong, and cut, with a sharp knife or pastry wheel, into squares or diamonds.
