  • 1 1/2 tsp [or 7.39338 0.00] crushed aniseed

  • 2 Eggland's Best Eggs
  • 1 cup [or 225 0.00] blanched almonds, toasted and finely chopped
  • 2 tsp [or 9.85784 0.00] milk
Directions:
Line a baking pan with foil; set aside. In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, aniseed, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg; set aside.
In a large bowl, cream butter and 3/4 cup sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in vanilla and eggs. Stir in almonds and reserved flour mixture.
Divide dough in half. Shape each into a 12-in. x 2-in. rectangle on the prepared baking pan. Smooth the surface of each rectangle; brush with milk and sprinkle with remaining sugar.
Bake at 375° for 20 minutes or until golden brown and firm to the touch. Remove from the oven and reduce heat to 300°.
Transfer rectangles with foil to a wire racks; cool for 15 minutes. Place rectangles on a cutting board; cut diagonally into 1/2-in. slices. Place slices, cut side down, on baking pans.
Bake 10-12 minutes longer. Turn oven off, leaving cookies in oven to cool with door ajar. Store cookies in airtight containers. Yield: 3-1/2 dozen.

Ingredients:
  • 1 cup [or 225 0.00] flour
  • 1/2 tsp [or 2.46446 0.00] salt
  • 1/2 tsp [or 2.46446 0.00] baking soda
  • 8 oz/100g/1 stick butter
  • 1/2 cup [or 112.5 0.00] sugar
  • 1/3 cup [or 75 0.00] light brown sugar
  • 1 tsp [or 4.92892 0.00] vanilla extract
  • 1 egg
  • 1 cup [or 225 0.00] chocolate chip
Directions:
1. Sieve the flour, salt and baking soda together. Keep aside.
2. In a bowl, beat the butter for about a minute. Then add the sugars and beat for another 2 minutes until well blended and creamy. Beat in the vanilla.
3. Add in the egg.
4. Reducing the mixer speed to the lowest setting, add in the flour a little at a time, until evenly incorporated.
5. Stir in the chocolate chips. Reserve a handful for later. Refrigerate the cookie dough for half an hour.
6. On a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or on a Silpat, spoon rounded tablespoonfuls of the cookie dough.
7. Bake them in a preheated oven at 375°F/180°C for 10-12 minutes.
8. Something that I *love* to do is open the oven half way through baking and dot the dough that has spread with MORE chocolate chips!
9. Then a good idea would also be to turn the sheet the other way round so that the cookies will bake evenly.
10. Let cool on a cooling rack. Have them with a tall glass of milk.

Divide dough into 3 pieces, pat down to 1 1/2 inch thickness, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 3 hours.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough out to 1/4 inch thickness. Cut into desired shapes with cookie cutters. Place cookies 1 inch apart onto an ungreased cookie sheet.
Bake for 10 to 12 minutes in the preheated oven. When the cookies are done, they will look dry, but still be soft to the touch. Remove from the baking sheet to cool on wire racks. When cool, the cookies can be frosted with the icing of your choice.

  • 1/4 tsp [or 1.23223 0.00] salt
  • 1 cup [or 225 0.00] oatmeal (quick oats or rolled oats)
  • 3/4 cup [or 168.75 0.00] (1 1/2 sticks) butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup [or 112.5 0.00] granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup [or 112.5 0.00] lightly packed brown sugar

  • 1 egg yolk
  • 1 tsp [or 4.92892 0.00] vanilla extract
  • 12 oz [or 340.2 0.00] semi sweet chocolate chunks or chocolate chips
Directions:
Preheat oven to 375F. Lightly coat a 9x13" baking pan with cooking spray and set aside.
Whisk together dry ingredients in a small bowl and set aside. In a large bowl with a handheld electric mixer or a stand mixer, beat butter, sugars, egg and vanilla until fluffy, about 2-3 minutes. Add the dry ingredients and chocolate chips together. Mix until combined. Press into the prepared pan and bake for 18-20 minutes until light golden brown. Don't overbake! These bars are definitely better underbaked by just a few minutes rather than being overbaked so watch them carefully. Let cool completely on a wire rack before slicing into squares.
You may double this recipe and press the dough into a large 11x17" rimmmed sheet pan. They are delicious with any assortment of chocolate chips (butterscotch, mint, etc.).

Roll cookie dough balls into powdered sugar and evenly coat. Transfer to Silpat or parchment paper lined baking sheets and flatten slightly, then bake in preheated oven 13 - 14 minutes. Allow to rest on cookie sheet several minutes then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Store in an airtight container.
*If you want them a little more chocolatey you can replace 2 - 3 Tbsp of the flour with 2 - 3 additional Tbsp of cocoa powder.
