Cookie Recipes

[Jeff Lebowski]

I made this recipe for neighbor gifts this year, and now several women are aggressively pursuing me for my "Cougarboard Cookie recipe."

Q for HuskyFreeNorth: I want my cookies to look more rounded like yours, but they are much flatter. Do you measure your flour by the dipping method? Do you use more flour than called for? My rolled balls of dough look exactly like dog poo.

[Jeff Lebowski]

First of all, make sure you are following the recipe exactly w.r.t. ingredients, especially the shortening/butter quantities. Also, try a little bit smaller balls (h/t to DDD), and try tweaking the amount of flour you use. Just a little more flower might make then not so flat.

[HuskyFreeNorthwest]

I use the exact amounts of each ingredient the recipie calls for, I roll each dough into a ball just larger than a bouncy ball and shake them in a small Tupperware (non-brand specific) container filled with sugar until the ball is coated all around.

Don't let the Duderino be upset at you for asking me. I do an awesome job at making these.

I don't mind KateLied calling me HuskyFreeNorth, no reason for the multiple "wuap's".

This thread got in my head so I busted out a batch of these this afternoon. They were mighty fine w some milk until I remembered about my lactose intolerance. Whoops.

Sidenote- this recipe turns out a mountain of cookies. Looks like I'm sharing tomorrow @ work.

Sorry, but I was using the term "Cougarboard" to mean "chat-web-site-related-mostly-to-BYU-sports-but-also-lots-else." Like, generically. Because no matter how much I clarify to my husband/ladies of the relief society, they all call it cougarboard. My husband only realized last month that there were Utah fans on CS.

HFN: Do you shake your balls one at a time in the sugar? Or do you put all your balls in together?

HFN: Please tell us all about your ball-shaking rituals.

Thats a pretty personal question. And how many does HFN have, anyway?

[Donuthole]

Shake it once, that's fine
Shake it twice, that's okay
Shake it three times, you're playing with yourself again

[Jeff Lebowski]

KL, FWIW I have found that HFN is far more likely to answer questions like this via Snapchat.

I'm just hoping that he doesn't do it one ball at a time. That is a lot of extra work. Those tupperware lids are hard to put on and take off.

You don't put the lid on, just drop your ball into the sugar and give it a couple little flips. I do 3-4 balls at a time, when I first started I'd go one ball at a time but I've gotten more experienced. Also, I don't snapchat, slide into the DMs like...

Sabbath breaker! We know you didn't just have some molasses on hand. I do, but only to make these cookies.

Overruled. Way too blatant to be an accident. Stop trying so hard.

Guilty- the plot twist, however, is that it was butter I didn't have on hand.
