Time 1h45m

Yield 16 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 tablespoons salted butter
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
Pinch kosher salt
1/2 cup toasted slivered almonds
1/2 cup roasted peanuts
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 cups granulated sugar
2 1/2 sticks (1 1/4 cups) salted butter, softened
2 large eggs
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
1 cup dried cranberries, dried cherries or raisins

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper and line a plate with wax paper.
  • For the nuts: Melt the butter in a skillet and add the brown sugar and a pinch salt. Cook until the butter starts to bubble, about 3 minutes, then add the almonds and peanuts and stir to coat the nuts completely. Sprinkle over the cinnamon and stir until incorporated. Transfer to the lined plate and set aside to cool.
  • For the dough: Cream together the granulated sugar and butter in a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, scraping the sides once, until fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing after each addition. Mix in the vanilla.
  • Sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt, then add in batches to the mixer, mixing until just combined after each addition. Gently stir in the chocolate chips, dried cranberries and reserved cooled nuts.
  • Using a 1/3-cup scoop, add portions of the dough to the lined baking sheets, spacing them about 3 inches apart.
  • Bake until the middles of the cookies are set, about 20 minutes. They will be fragile at this stage, so let them cool for 10 minutes, then move them to a cooling rack to cool completely.

COW COOKIES



COW COOKIES image

Categories     Cookies     Chocolate     Dessert

Yield 22 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 C all purpose flour
1 t salt
1 t baking soda
1 t baking powder
1 C margarine, room temp
1 C firmly packed light brown sugar
1 C sugar
2 eggs, room temp
2 T milk
2 t vanilla
2.5 C rolled oats
12 oz semisweet choc chips
1.5 C chopped walnuts

Steps:

  • Preheat 350 degree. Rack in center of oven. Grease baking sheets; dust with flour. Combine flour, salt, baking soda, and baking powder. Using electric mixer, cream magarine with both sugars until light and fluffy. Add eggs 1 at a time, beating until light and fluffy. Mix in milk and vanilla. Stir dry ingredients into batter. Fold in oats, chocolate chips and walnuts. Using 1/3 cup for each cookie, drop batter onto prepared sheets spacing 3 inches apart. Bake until cookies are light brown around edges, 12 to 15 minutes. Let cool on sheets 3 minutes. Transfer to rack and cool completely. Store in airtight container.

Tips:

  • Use softened butter: Softened butter is easier to cream with sugar, resulting in a smoother and more consistent cookie dough.
  • Chill the dough: Chilling the dough helps the cookies hold their shape better and prevents them from spreading too much in the oven.
  • Use a cookie scoop: A cookie scoop helps to ensure that all of the cookies are the same size and shape, which will help them bake evenly.
  • Space the cookies apart on the baking sheet: Make sure to space the cookies at least 2 inches apart on the baking sheet to allow for air circulation and even baking.
  • Bake the cookies until they are just set: Overbaking the cookies will make them dry and crumbly. The cookies should be baked until they are just set in the center, with a slight golden brown color around the edges.

Conclusion:

These easy cow cookies are fun, tasty, and perfect for any occasion. They are sure to be a hit with your family and friends. If you are looking for a fun and easy cookie recipe to try, give these cow cookies a try!
