More Cookie Recipies

I am a cookie recipe collector. I just can’t get enough of them. Cookies are just one of the best part of having a family. Baking cookies is a terrific activity for the whole family, they make a nice snack, and they are the food equivalent of a band-aid. A fresh batch of cookies may not solve a fall from a swing, a broken heart, or a crummy boss….but they can put a smile on a glum face.

*Corn Flake Cookies*
I always save the end of the bag of the corn flakes for these cookies

2 egg whites
1/8 tsp. salt
1/8 tsp. cream of tartar
3/4 c. sugar
1/2 pkg. chocolate chips
1 1/2 c. Corn Flakes
1/2 tsp. vanilla

Beat egg whites until foamy. Add salt and cream of tartar. Beat until stiff enough to hold in peaks, but not dry. Add 2 tablespoons sugar at a time. Beat thoroughly. Fold in chocolate chips, Corn Flakes and vanilla. Drop on ungreased heavy (brown paper bags) paper. Bake at 300 degrees for 25 minutes.

*Snickerdoodles*
A family classic for a reason

3/4 c. sugar
1 egg
1 1/4 c. plus 2 tbsp. flour

1/8 tsp. salt

Heat oven to 400 degrees. Mix shortening, margarine, sugar and eggs thoroughly. Mix flour, soda, salt and cream of tartar into shortening mixture; stir thoroughly. Roll into balls the size of small walnuts. Roll in a mixture of 2 tablespoons sugar and 2 teaspoons cinnamon. Place 2 inches apart on ungreased baking sheets. Bake 8 to 10 minutes.
