Hi,
I thought this would be fun to start this thread so we can post our favorite cookie recipes here so we can all enjoy. We love to eat cookies while we are quilting.
Also my hubby was a severe diabetic since 4th grade. In 1989 both kidneys failed and was on home dialysis and on September 18, 1990 he got a new kidney and pancreas transplant and now he is no longer a diabetic.
So now he loves for me to bake him cookies.

These cookies are like the big fluffy cookies that you get at Wal-Mart...Only better
SOY FREE CREAMY VANILLA FROSTING
3 Cups Powdered Sugar
1/3 cup butter, softened
1 1/2 tsp. vanilla
about 2 tbsp. milk
Mix powdered sugar and butter. Stir in vanilla and milk. Beat until smooth and of spreading consistency. 16 servings: 130 calories per serving.
This frosting is easy to spread and can be adjusted for thickness by adding more or less milk. I usually divide it up into 4 bowls - white, red, green and yellow (for the stars, of course!) It's a cinch to clean with a hot soapy rag.
SOY FREE SUGAR COOKIES
Beat on medium speed until very fluffy and well blended
1/2 pound (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
2/3 Cup sugar
Add and best until well combined:
1 large egg
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 ½ teaspoon vanilla
Stir in until well blended and smooth
2 1/3 cups all purpose flour
Divide the dough in half. Place each half between 2 large sheets of wax paper. Roll out dough to ¼ inch thick, checking the underside of the dough and smoothing any creases. Keeping the paper in place, layer the rolled dough on a baking sheet and refrigerate until cold and slightly firm but not hard, 20 – 30 minutes.
Position a rack in the upper third of the oven.
Preheat oven to 350o
Grease cookie sheets
Roll out and cut cookies. Place on cookie sheets. Spacing about 1 inch apart.
Bake 6 – 9 minutes. Rotate the sheet halfway through baking for even browning.
Cool
Decorate.

This isn't a cookie but it's what I make instead of cookies.
The ingredients:
1 cup of sugar
1/4 cup of olive oil
3 cups of sifted flour
4 eggs (or egg substitutes)
2 tsp of baking powder
2 tsp vanilla
2 tsp almond extract
1/4 cup sliced almonds
The process:
Mix all the ingredients in a bowl at medium speed until well blended. The
consistancy will be sticky and like most cookie dough. This takes about 3 minutes.
Sprinkle some flour on a board, rub your hands with flour, and place dough on board.
Knead the dough lightly, and keep sprinkling with flour until dough is smooth and
only slightly sticky. Cut the dough in half, and roll out to the size of 4 by 12 inches,
and about 1/2 inch thick. Do the same with the remaining dough. Place both rolled out
biscotti on a greased cookie sheet. Bake 20 minutes at 350º Remove
from oven, and cut each biscotti into slices 1/2 inch thick. This must be done while the
dough is hot. You will end up with about 40 biscotti. Turn each slice on its side and
bake again at 425º for 3 minutes. This will toast the biscotti, and make
them nice and crunchy. Remove from oven and cool for 30 minutes. Dip Biscotti in melted chocolate and sprinkle with crushed nuts if desired.

Maybe 35 years ago, I had a recipe for a raw spanish peanut/oatmeal refrigerator cookie. The recipe has long disappeared and I have searched everywhere. I would love to find this recipe again. Can any one help? It was first published in The Oregonian, Portland, Oregon.
THANKS!!

I recently made a batch of dark chocolate oatmeal cookies that were thin, crunchy and delicious. The recipe is on the web site for King Arthur Flour. I am sorry that I am not computer savvy enough to copy it here but it is easy to find. I tried it because I have steel cut oats on hand and was not disappointed. As soon as I lose the 2 pounds I put on, I'll make some more!
