Hi,
I have many recipes throughout all 3 of my cookbooks. What kind are you looking for---easy, fruity, chocolate, cinnamon, sugar, roll outs, roll-ups, drop cookies, etc.
The following is one of my personal favs, and a 'great dunker', as well as a source for getting a wee bit more fruits into your family's diets.
Mini Cinnamon Swirls
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
2/3 cup of sugar
2 tablespoons cinnamon
Mix cinnamon and sugar together and put aside in a separate bowl.
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) of butter, melted, and set aside
2/3 cup (1 1/3 sticks) melted butter or margarine
1/3 cup sugar
3 cups plus 2 tablespoons flour
1 1/4 teaspoons baking powder
1 cup plus 1 tablespoon milk
1/2 cup raisins (previously soaked in very hot water for about 10 minutes, drained and patted dry) and/or chopped walnuts, put aside
2 teaspoons of molasses
1. Mix together the 2/3 cup of butter or margarine, sugar, flour and baking powder while gradually adding the milk. Mix the ingredients thoroughly together.
2. When the dough begins to gather together in the mixing bowl, take it out of bowl and place the dough on a floured surface, knead 10-12 times.
3. Divide dough in half. With your hands flatten and gently
stretch the dough prior to rolling. Roll each half of dough into about a 18x10 inch square, (size does not need to be exact)
4. With a pastry brush or butter knife, distribute half of the melted 1/4 cup of butter all over dough. Sprinkle 1/2 the cinnamon sugar all over dough. Lightly trickle a little bit of molasses all over the dough, making sure that there are no clumps of molasses. Sprinkle the dough with raisins and/or chopped walnuts, optional.
5. Roll up from the long side of the dough into a long, tight jellyroll or cookie roll.
6. Grease 2 cookie sheets.
7. Slice the cookie roll into 1/2-inch pieces. Place each cookie onto prepared cookie sheets and lightly flatten with the palm of your hand. Sprinkle each cookie with a pinch of additional cinnamon sugar.
8. Repeat with the remaining dough.
9. Bake approximately 15 minutes or until edges begin to golden. Store these cookies in a plastic container to maintain freshness.
