Anginette Cookie Recipe

My aunt made the Anginette  Cookies Recipe for EVERY occasion since I was in my teens, and to this day my cousin Julie and myself are the only two that try to carry on the tradition.

Anginette Cookie Recipe

 Anginette

2 LB. WONDRA flour (minus 1 ½ cups)

9 HEAPING tsp. baking powder

1 cup sugar

8 eggs

¼ cup milk

1 stick margarine

5 tsp. anise extract

3 tsp. lemon extract

Mix dry ingredients with margarine, and make sure you mix well with your hands.

In separate bowl, beat eggs, milk, anise and lemon extract.  Then add to dry ingredients, work in well with your hands.  Batter will be tacky, go to hard surface, and gradually add remaining flour.  If still tacky add regular flour a little at a time.  Then roll and twirl around fingers (the Anginette’s should be wrapped around two fingers, making three small twirls).  Bake on 350 F. on second shelf until tips are golden brown 10 – 12 minutes.  Makes about 80 cookies.

Icing

1 box confectionery sugar

Anise extract to taste

Water – a little at a time, until you reach thickness you want

Put long sheets of wax paper on kitchen table, and then ice the cookies by spreading the icing all over the cookie except the bottom, I like the icing to be thin because it’s easier to spread .  Wait a few hours, because the icing should be dry to the touch.  Best if the Anginette’s are made 2 days before you need them.

*Use WONDRA flour only because the flour has to be fine 

(Recipe is from my aunt)

Walnut Tarts Cookie Recipe

Walnut Tarts Cookie Recipe

The Walnut Tart Cookie Recipe I got from the back of the package of the Rowco Tart Tassie.  The first time I made the walnut tarts, was back in 1986.  When I had made the walnut tarts (I had made 3 recipes at once), I only had one of the little tart pan; it has 12 little tarts in the pan.  Well, it had taken so long to make them, that when the walnut tarts were done, I went out to buy 4 more pans.  So keep that in mind when you make the walnut tarts.

Walnut Tarts Cookie Recipe

Walnut Tarts

For the Dough:

½ cup margarine

3 oz. pkg. cream cheese

1 cup flour

Let margarine and cream cheese soften at room temperature, then mix well.  Add flour, mix to a soft dough.  Chill at least 1 hour or overnight.

1 tsp. melted butter

¾ cup brown sugar

1 large egg or 2 small eggs

Chocolate Sparkle Cookies Recipe

Chocolate Sparkle Cookies

My husband, Mike, is ALWAYS working (day and night) on his computer, and one night he came up to me around 9 PM, and said that he found a recipe that was on his computer, and that I might want to make it.  After I read the recipe and it sounded good and I put it aside and thought that I would make it when I had the time.  You see, I made cookies for Mike to bring into work every week, and I put it aside and forgot about it.  It wasn’t until recently, that I found the recipe for Chocolate Sparkle Cookies that I thought it was gone for good, because I couldn’t fine it.

Black and White Cookies Recipe

August 7, 2012 Leave a Comment

Black and White Cookies

I had made Black and White Cookies 12 years ago.  They came out really good…but it takes too long when it’s time for the icing.  So if you make them…just make sure you have the time, because you will be there for a while.

Black and White Cookies Recipe

Black and White Cookies

1 1/3 cups sugar

1 cup butter-flavored solid vegetable shortening

¼ pound margarine

2 tsp. light corn syrup

4 eggs, at room temperature

2 ¼ cups cake flour

2 cups all-purpose flour

2 tsp. baking powder

½ tsp. salt

2/3 cup milk

2 tsp. vanilla

¼ tsp. lemon flavoring

1/8 tsp. orange flavoring

For Vanilla Icing:   1 ½ pounds confectioners’ sugar, sifted

1/3 cup light corn syrup

¼ cup water

½ tsp. vanilla

For Chocolate Icing:   1 recipe vanilla icing

4 ounces semisweet chocolate, melted

Preheat oven to 400F.  Cover 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.  If making cookies, trace4 (4 ½ inch) circles on each sheet.  If making smaller cookies, trace 4 (3 ½ inch) circles.  Place oven rack in the center on oven.

Cream sugar, shortening and margarine in a large bowl.  Add corn syrup and eggs, 1 at a time, beating until just incorporated.

Combine flours, baking powder and salt.  Add dry ingredients to creamed mixture, alternating with milk, beginning and ending with dry ingredients.  Add vanilla, lemon and orange flavorings.

To make large cookies, place ½ cup batter in center of each circle and spread evenly with the bank of a spoon to fit outline; bake 1 tray at a time for 10 minutes.  To make smaller cookies, spread 1/3 cup batter in each circle; bake 1 tray at a time for 8 minutes.

Makes 10 to 12 large cookies or 16 to 18 small ones.

For vanilla icing, combine ingredients in top of a double boiler over low heat.  Stir until well combined; mixture will be thick.  Cook to 100 degrees.  If too thick, add a few drops water.  Remove from heat; keep icing over hot water.  Turn cookies over and frost one half.   To keep icing glossy, tilt the cookie to allow icing to spread to the edge.  Place on rack to dry.

To make chocolate icing, add melted chocolate to vanilla icing and ice the unfrosted halves.

Secret Recipe Chocolate Chip Cookies

Every now and then I get recipe cards in the mail.  I had gotten the Secret Recipe Chocolate Chip Cookies three years ago.  Well, I made these cookies and they were really good.  Try them…I think you’ll like them.

Secret Recipe Chocolate Chip Cookies

Secret Recipe Chocolate Chip Cookies

½ cup rolled oats, regular or quick

2 ¼ cups flour

1 ½ tsp. baking soda, ½ tsp. salt and ¼ tsp. cinnamon

1 cup butter, softened (2 sticks)

¾ cup firmly packed brown sugar

¾ cup sugar

2 tsp. vanilla

 1 tsp. lemon juice

2 eggs

2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips and 1 cup chopped walnuts

Preheat oven to 350F.  Cover baking sheets with parchment paper.  Place rolled oats in blender and process until finely ground.  Combine ground oats, flour, baking soda, salt and cinnamon in mixing bowl.

In another bowl, cream butter, sugar, vanilla and lemon juice together using mixer.  Add eggs and beat until fluffy.

Stir in flour mixing into egg mixture, blending well.  Add the chocolate chips and nuts to the dough and mix well.  Using ¼ cup of dough for cookie, scoop round balls with an ice-cream scoop and place 2 ½ inches apart on baking sheets. (Or use the medium ice cream scoop, which holds 1 ½ Tbsp. of dough, that’s the scoop I use.  Bake them for 13 – 15 minutes on 350F.)  Bake until cookies are lightly browned, 16 to 18 minutes.  Transfer to wire rack to cool completely.  Store in a sealed container to keep them soft and chewy.

Andes Creme de Menthe Chunk Cookies

The first time I made the Andes Crème de Menthe Chunk Cookies, I was surprised to see how quickly these cookies came together.   I used a medium cookie scoop, and didn’t flatten it at all before I put them in the oven.  So the next time you’re in the market, I would get a pack of Andes baking chips, you won’t be sorry!

Snickerdoodles

This Snickerdoodles Cookie Recipe was in Pillsbury Classic Cookbooks in 1989.  The first time I made this cookie…I was sold.  It is so easy, and the recipe has all the ingredients EVERYONE uses.  It tells you to bake them on 400F, for 8 to 10 minutes.  But I found that it works out better for me to bake on 350F, for 13 minutes.  Try these cookies…and you’ll LOVE them.

½ cup margarine, softened

1 tsp. vanilla
