Cookie Recipes

By -
Here are the recipes that I shared with the viewers of NBC15 on the segment I taped this week. The "cheat" roll out cookies are actually super easy and yummy!

ANDES CANDIES COOKIES
3/4 c. butter
1 1/2 c. brown sugar
2 tbsp. water
12 oz. chocolate chips
2 (6 oz.) boxes Andes Creme de Menthe candies
2 eggs
2 1/2 c. flour
1 1/4 tsp. baking soda
1/4 tsp. salt

Combine butter, brown sugar, and water in a quart measuring cup suitable for the microwave. Microwave on High power 2 minutes. Stir, add chocolate chips, and stir again until chocolate chips are melted. Let stand 10 minutes. Meanwhile, unwrap and halve each candy; set aside.

Beat eggs in mixer bowl. Add cooled chocolate mixture. Sift together flour, soda, and salt; add to mixing bowl. Beat on low speed until ingredients are just blended. Chill dough 1 1/2 hours. Roll into balls and place on ungreased cookie sheets.

Bake at 350 degrees for 7-8 minutes or until cookies are done. Remove from oven and immediately place half a mint on each cookie. Let stand 2 minutes or until candy will spread. Spread chocolate over cookie. Remove cookie to a cooling rack. Makes 60-70 cookies.


Cake Mix Drop Cookies
One 18.25 oz box of cake mix
2 eggs
1/2 cup water
1/4 veggie oil
     Combine all ingredients in a large bowl. Add 1 Cup of "filler". Drop by teaspoonful onto a greased cookie sheet. Bake at 350 for about 15 minutes.
**"Filler" ideas: M&Ms, chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, chopped nuts, etc.

Cake Mix Cut Out Cookies
1 (18 ounce) package yellow cake mix
3/4 cup butter, melted and cooled
1 large egg
2 tablespoons milk (plain or evaporated)
     In a large bowl mix cake mix, butter, egg and milk, being careful to not over mix. Shape dough in a ball. Chill for 2 hours. Roll 1/8 inch on a floured surface and cut out with a floured cookie cutters. Place 2 inches apart on a cookie sheet that has been very lightly sprayed with cooking spray. Bake at 375 degrees for 6-10 minutes or until edges are lightly browned. Cool slightly then move to rack to cool fully.
**You can created two "logs" with this instead and have your own "slice and bake" cookies.

I know this sounds strange -- and yummy at the same time, LOL You need to know the family history to "get it". We are part German, part English, part Irish and part Tennessee Hillbilly. Seriously. Did you ever see that black and white movie of Gary Cooper's called Sergeant York? Yes, my family comes from the Dyer/Yorks -- same family. Some of the "family recipes" are too far out there for even me to try... But this is a pot luck favorite. SUPER Easy and SUPER Easy to make healthier. We choose the middle of the road option, LOL You need:  1 package hot dog buns (8 ct) 1 package hot dogs 2 cups chili (or 1 can) 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese "fixins" That's it! You could do gluten free or whole grain wheat buns, turkey or tofu dogs, vegetarian chili, vegan or light cheese, you get the drift. We do white buns, cut them up and place in the 9x13 pan, like you see here: Then you dice up the hot dogs ...
