decorated cookies on rackThis is a recipe that I got from my mother over 40 years ago. She called them drop sugar cookies, so I renamed them this year. These are crispy cookies that melt in your mouth. Almost every time I take them to a potluck party, I am asked for the recipe.

Prep Time: about 30 minutes

Cook Time: 6-10 minutes

Total Time: 2 hours

Yield: 5 or 6 dozen

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 cup margarine or butter
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 4 cups flour
  • 1 tsp cream of tartar
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp vanilla

Steps:

  1. Mix in order listed. incorporating each ingredient as you go. When thoroughly mixed, chill the dough for about an hour.
  2. Roll chilled dough into balls about the size of a walnut. Place on cookie sheets lined with parchment paper.
  3. Flatten with a fork dipped in sugar. You can use colored sugar for this step. You may exchange the fork for another tool. In the original recipe, it called for the bottom of a glass since years ago the glasses had a pretty design. I choose to use my meat tenderizer hammer. See photo.
  4. sprinkles and cookies

Butter has become scarce these days. I wish to make cookies, but all I have left is a small piece of butter and some leftover buttercream from my previous cake orders. I don't want to waste the frosting so I decided to make cookies out of it.

This recipe was improvised in the face of a lack of chocolate chips and nuts. The result was a soft chewy sugar cookie studded with chopped up Sour Patch Kids gummies. Initial raised eye brows dropped when they came out of the oven and were quickly decimated.

Everyone knows Davy always wore a raccoon hat, so his mommy made him raccoon tails when he came home!

Many years ago someone brought cookies to my son's preschool. The cookies were cut-out cookies. They were "raised" and crisp on the outside, but soft in the middle. They looked similar to animal crackers. I have been searching for years for a recipe but so far no luck. Anyone have a recipe for this type of cookie?

It might depend on how thick you make your cookies as to how they turn out (crispy on edges and soft inside). I always like this recipe but I would say they are more crispy than soft. These have to have several hours in the frig to roll out nicely. Otherwise, just roll into balls and flatten.

I am looking for a good sugar cookie recipe. I just need to make them into circles to bake them. Then I have small chocolate chips to make eyes and a mouth, put a candy corn on for nose and you have snowman face! My grandkids are coming this weekend and I want to have these all baked so I just have to frost and they can make the snowman faces on them.
