Can somebody give me cookie recipes??? ( Archived) (8)

what kind of cookies - narrow it down - i have my favourite recipes.. tried and tested.. but need to know what kind :)

do you make them by hand or in a mixer? Do you want to use a cookie press machine or QUICK AS possible ?

Try this recipe. With this you can decorate the cookies with ANYTHING you want.. you can add colouring, choc chips, or frosting. Easiest way, without cutters, is what i do : Tear out a large sheet of wax paper and put half the dough in it. Roll out the dough with your hands in a sausage shape. then cover with the wax paper and use your hands to shape the roll lenghwise. You will then have a cylinder shape, or rectangle shape. Roll it in the wax paper, put on a tray and into the fridge for a few minutes. Then you can cut and place on a cookie try to bake. This way, there's no rolling out. For the below recipe you do not really need almonds, or the frosting. Make your own frosting with icing sugar and water and a little butter. You can experiment with them :)
