It's that time of year again where families gather to enjoy quality time, watch football/ family-friendly movies, and of course enjoy good food. One of my favorite things about the holidays is baking, more in specifically cookies. I tend to find baking to be a fun and relaxing so much so that I've no doubt I whipped up the majority if not all of the holiday classics at some point in time. My mom usually is my sidekick in the kitchen and growing up she taught me how to make gingerbread men, Russian tea cookies, oatmeal raisin cookies (her favorite as well as my fathers), peanut butter blossoms, sugar and chocolate chip, etc. I don't discriminate and neither did she. Personally my all time favorite has to be the peanut butter blossoms which are just a regular peanut butter cookie with a Hershey kiss on top. It's quite simple to make, and it tastes delicious. Something that may surprise you is that peanut butter cookies can be made using just three ingredients: …show more content…
The one I like to use would be Hershey's, you can find it easily on their website. Usually I like to have a printed recipe on hand while I bake but they also offer a video tutorial on their Youtube channel if you’d rather go off that. Their recipe calls for 48 Hershey kisses, ½ cup shortening, ¾ cup Reese's peanut butter, ⅓ cup granulated sugar, ⅓ cup light brown sugar, 1 egg, 2 tbsp milk, 1 tsp vanilla extract, 1 ½ cup all purpose flour, 1 tsp baking soda, ½ tsp salt and ⅓ cup granulated sugar for rolling. It may sound like a lot, but trust me when I say the payoff is worth it. Once you've got everything you need, you must preheat the oven to 375. While the oven preheats you can begin following the recipe. Warning! If you begin making the dough before you preheat the oven you put yourself through the torture of having to wait even longer before satisfying that sweet tooth of yours. Do you really want
Madelyn McQueen - Twin Falls Idaho Have you ever wondered how the delicious, classic treat came to be? Well, any event you can think of after the date of 1938, the cookie was bound to be there. Several stories about how the country’s favorite baked good came to be, have been spread and believed by thousands. For example, Ruth Wakefield unexpectedly ran out of nuts for a regular ice-cream cookie recipe and, in desperation, replaced them with chunks chopped out of a bar of Nestle bittersweet chocolate. Another story is said that the vibrations from an industrial mixer caused chocolate stored on a shelf in the Toll House kitchen to fall into a bowl of cookie dough as it was being mixed. Sadly, all of these stories are false, says Carolyn Wyman in her recently published “Great American Chocolate Chip Cookie Book.” In her book, Wyman offers a more believable version of how the cookie came to be. Wyman argues, that Ruth Wakefield, who had a degree in household arts and a reputation for perfectionism, would not have allowed her restaurant, which was famed for its desserts, to run out of such
Cookies are traditionally made by combining the ingredients listed and adding something like chocolate or nuts. The cookies are then baked at around 375 degrees for about eight minutes or until they are golden brown. They are then allowed to cool and then they are served.

If other successful cookies are jumping on the band wagon to mix Oreo with their product, you know the product has to be good and add brand value.

Opening the refrigerator door, I locate two ingredients: eggs and butter. Grabbing the ingredients, I place them on the island sitting vertically in the middle of my rectangular kitchen. I then walk around the island to a cabinet to find baking powder and vanilla extract. Scanning and searching through all the spices and other items, I see the desired components. Finally, I walk across the kitchen to a cabinet standing high on my tippy toes because the protruding countertop makes the cabinet hard to reach. In this cabinet, I find the flour and sugar. I examine all of the goods on the island. The ingredients needed for a sugar cookie recipe, I have made countless times for the last five years.
The three chocolate chip cookie brands tested were Chips Ahoy!, Keebler’s Original Soft Batch, and Cub Foods brand. The three brands were rated on a scale from one to three (three being the best, one the worst) on their flavor, chewiness, and appearance. To score a three on flavor the cookie had to taste delicious and melt in your mouth like ice cream outside on a hot summer day. To score a three on chewiness, it had to be very soft like dough and take a long time to finish. Finally, to rate a three on appearance the cookie had to be very appealing to the taste tester and look delicious to eat. The brand of cookies that scored the highest in each category, I crowned the best chocolate chip cookie in America.

Use a small dinner spoon to make the perfect sized cookies. Scoop up enough dough on the spoon to cover it, but not too much so that it's more than a few centimeters high off the spoon. Afterwards, place the lumps of dough about two inches away from each other on a cookie sheet. Place the cookie sheet or sheets onto the middle rack in the oven.

Although I have grown up to be entirely inept at the art of cooking, as to make even the most wretched chef ridicule my sad baking attempts, my childhood would have indicated otherwise; I was always on the countertop next to my mother’s cooking bowl, adding and mixing ingredients that would doubtlessly create a delicious food. When I was younger, cooking came intrinsically with the holiday season, which made that time of year the prime occasion for me to unite with ounces and ounces of satin dark chocolate, various other messy and gooey ingredients, numerous cooking utensils, and the assistance of my mother to cook what would soon be an edible masterpiece. The most memorable of the holiday works of art were our Chocolate Crinkle Cookies, which my mother and I first made when I was about six and are now made annually.
