One Dough Two Cookies Recipes

ONE COOKIE DOUGH, SEVEN POSSIBLE FLAVORS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F. Line cookie sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
• In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the 1 and 1/2 cups butter and sugars until well combined. Beat in the eggs and vanilla.
• With the mixer on low speed, beat in the flour, baking soda and salt until combined.
• Follow directions for how many different cookie flavors you would like to bake to get the correct mix-in measurements based on number of flavors to equally divided dough ratios. Stir together cookie dough and mix-ins until well combined.
• For all 7 cookie flavors, divide the dough base evenly into seven bowls (1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon per bowl). Then mix one flavor's mix-ins into each bowl. For the snickerdoodle cookies, combine sugar and cinnamon, stir half into the dough and use the rest to roll the cookie dough balls in before placing them on the baking sheet.
• Use a cookie scoop and scoop dough onto the parchment-lined cookie sheets a few inches apart. For small cookies, scoop 1 tablespoon of dough per cookie (84 small cookies). For medium cookies, scoop 2 tablespoons dough per cookie. (42 medium cookies). For large cookies, scoop 3 tablespoons dough per cookie (21 large cookies).
• Garnish each cookie dough scoop with additional toppings for that flavor, if desired.
• Bake for 8-10 minutes, rotating cookie sheets halfway through, until cookies are starting to crisp around the edges are just set on top. Try not to over-bake them if you want them to be chewy.
• Remove cookies from the oven and let them cool on the cookie sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack to let cool completely.

ONE, TWO, THREE, FOUR COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C).
• In a large mixing bowl, cream together the margarine and sugar. Add eggs and beat until fluffy.
• In a separate bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Dissolve the baking soda in the buttermilk and add alternately to the margarine mixture with flour mixture.
• Roll out dough and sprinkle with nutmeg. Cut with a biscuit cutter. Dough will be very soft and delicate.
• Bake until lightly browned around the edges. A really soft, chewy cookie.

NO BAKE COOKIES (FOR 1 OR 2 PEOPLE)

Steps:

• Mix sugar, Hershey's cocoa and dry milk thoroughly in a small saucepan. Add water and butter. Then stir constantly over medium/high heat.
• After butter has completely melted, continue stirring and boil one minute.
• Remove from heat. Stir in peanut butter and then oats.
• Drop by the spoonful onto wax paper or dinner plate.

TWO-TONE COOKIES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375°F.
• In large bowl, stir Chocolate Chip Dough ingredients until soft dough forms. In another large bowl, stir Double Chocolate Chunk Dough ingredients until soft dough forms.
• Divide each dough into 2 portions. On work surface sprinkled generously with flour, shape each dough portion into 15-inch rope. Place 1 rope chocolate chip dough and 1 rope double chocolate chunk dough side by side. Cut both at the same time into 1/2-inch pieces; shape into about 24 balls so both kinds of dough are in each ball. Place 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheet. Repeat with other 2 ropes of dough.
• Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until edges of chocolate chip dough are light golden brown. Cool 1 minute; remove from cookie sheet to cooling rack.
