Here are a few of my favorite cookie recipes. Please add yours to the list.

Kolacky's

1 cup butter
1 8oz cream cheese
1 Tbl milk
1 Tbl sugar
1 egg yolk, beaten
1 1/4 cup all purpose flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
Solo Almond Paste / Solo Fruit filling (but not pie filling)
or Polamer All Fruit

Cream butter, cream cheese, milk and sugar. Add yolk. Stir flour and baking powder together. Add to liquid mixture, blend well. Refrigerate 4 hours or half hour in the freezer.

Roll out dough on lightly floured surface. Roll to about 1/4 inch thickness. Cut out with a round cookie cutter. I use a 1/8 tsp measuring spoon to add the filling to the cookie. Add either the almond paste or any of the solo filings. If you can't find solo in your baking isle use Polamer All Fruit. Bake 400 for 10/15 minutes. Dust with powdered sugar when they are done.


Hello Dollies

1 stick butter
1/2 to 1 package graham cracker crumbs
1 small package chocolate chips
1 small package coconut
1 small package chopped pecans
2 cans Eagle Brand condensed milk

Melt your butter and mix with graham cracker crumbs. Create a layer on the bottom of a 13x9 pan about 1/2 inch thick. Then just layer the rest of the ingredients in the order listed. Finally pour Eagle Brand milk over the dry ingredients.

Bake at 350 for 30 minutes. Cut into squares.


Chocolate Chip Cheeseball

This isn't a cookie but I love taking this to work during the holidays.

8 oz cream cheese - softened
1 stick butter - softened
3/4 cup powdered sugar
2 Tbl brown sugar
3/4 cup mini chocolate chips
1 small package chopped pecans

Mix all ingredients and serve with graham cracker sticks.

Quick and Easy Fudge

12 oz bag of semi sweet chocolate chips
1 can Eagle Brand condensed milk

You can also substitute peanut butter chips for this recipe. In a small pan over low heat (or in a double boiler) melt the chocolate and add in the milk. Once completely incorporated pour into a pan lined with wax paper. Freeze for at least 2 hours. It can be cut into pieces and stored in the freezer for up to a month. It's best out of the freezer but can be stored in the refrigerator.

Is it terrible if I say I buy the premade sugar cookie dough and use that, lol? That's my favorite recipe! I do try to bake a few "real" things around the holidays, it just get so hard to find the time!

Ok here's a really really easy recipe. Almost easier than the premade cookie dough. A friend of mine just gave me this recipe today and I tried it a little while ago.

Crock Pot Candy

16oz salted peanuts
16oz unsalted peanuts
12oz semi sweet chocolate chips
4oz german chocolate (broken in pieces)
1lb vanilla almond bark (broken in pieces)

Layer in your crockpot in the order written. Cook on low for two hours. After two hours stir and drop by spoonfuls onto wax paper. Let harden and cool. Easy chocolate covered peanuts.
