Thanks Far West for the great recipes! I have thought about making cc cookies with the butter/shortening mix and this looks like a great recipe to try that. I did not see where the shortening was added, is it melting with the butter? By the ingredients this looks to be about a double recipe?

Thanks again FW! :hug

 

[I'm Floored]

Are those peanut butter squares like the ones we used to get in school? Yummo!

That's what someone said... but I never bought school lunch...so I don't know. It came from a friend's Georgia Cooking cook book - from Kathleen Love, Soperton, GA.....?

Anything edible.

I don't melt the butter and shortening together. Instead, I just have the butter at room temperature, or nuke in microwave so butter is room temperature.

Yes it is a double…they freeze very well. So I cook all of them and freeze.

Here is the internet version... regular size:

I have altered the order just to be quicker. I gave you instructions like the original.

Here is how I do it to be quicker

1) In a stand mixer, blend the softened butter and shortening , with the white and brown sugar. At this point as it mixes, I throw in the baking powder, salt, and vanilla.

2) Stop the stand mixer and dump in the 4 eggs –all at once. Turn the mixer back on and let it get fluffy. Stop the mixer.

3) Then take the bowl off the mixer base, and put ALL the flour in the bowl.

4) Hand stir the flour in, careful to blend in the flour but not over mix- that is one reason I put the salt and baking powder into the butter and sugar phase to make sure it is well mixed.

5) Last - dump in chips, and nuts if you like them …or whatever else you like in cookies!



I think the baking powder makes these cookies chewy and soft. :love

Well, I think that is brilliant! I like to make double batches. I use a cookie scoop for my cookies and what I don't bake I go ahead and scoop them, freeze them, then put them in a resealable freezer bag and can have fresh baked cookies anytime. And sometimes I pass the frozen ones on to some friends who appreciate having them in their freezer to bake in a hurry for hungry kiddos.

:thumbsup Kattie, then I think you will like this one!

Okay, found it! His fave candy is milky way candy bar so I will be making milky way stuffed chocolate chip cookies. (pic below) Those kids will surely be bouncing off the wall but the mom loved the idea.

Thanks to everyone for their great suggestions! I really appreciated your input. :thumbsup

lol uhm well just a cc cookie recipe and you wrap the cookie dough around the little candy bar. I'm not sure what size they are called, will know when I get them at the store. I am going to make a trial batch just to make sure they work well and let the mom have a tasting. I am going to use the recipe you posted here too! :hug

Will make another post after I have made them.

I was wondering if you could just put those mini square ones inside any cookie dough and have it work, or if there was a special way to accomplish this? I figured if you had a picture there must be instructions! ;D

My boys would LOVE this ... but I would probably only make these for a party... they do not have to be encouraged to eat cookies... it is a rather natural talent they have! :laugh

I would have never thought of this myself! Good idea. Report back on results...and the instructions! :love

Thanks! I need all the help I can get. We just made a grocery trip today. We normally only have a couple of fresh fruit choices for the week. This week we've ended up with bananas, grapes, apples and oranges. We must have all been hungry. ) Anyway, they have tackled those grapes! I may have to hide some of those in the freezer too!

I got the idea from a blogger and she just had the pic. She had made several variations such as reese's cups, brownie, oreos and that was her only instruction just wrap them inside the cookie dough. lol
I will def take pix. I am planning on using some of my dessert pix as wall art in my kitchen.

I would always be hungry for sugary yummies if I had pics like that hanging on my walls!

Well, let us know your results, and any tricks you figure out..

 

[Kattie E]

And this is the result. That cookie recipe is delicious Far West, thanks again! I cut this cookie in half whilst it was still warm so the ooey gooey would show a little and make a cool pic. They won't be like this for the birthday part since they will have some cooling off time.

I placed a Milky Way fun size bar cut in half in a cookie. Seems to be the perfect size for the cookie and the cookie size is a good choice for the party. I am very please with how this turned out.
