Cookies & biscuits

What are some of your favourite cookies and/or biscuit recipes? I have been wanting to get into baking and biscuits are the way I want to start!

I cannot recall the recipe but I made these delicious cinnamon & nutmeg biscuits last year and I miss them! The shape was... not appealing but I loved them. My favourite thing to do is jam drop cookies though, sooo good! I want to look at other recipes for those as I follow the one my mother found & perhaps there is a better recipe out there!

This is really more of a cakey bar or blondie but this is a really easy dessert that I like to make 

Almond Bars 

4 eggs 

2 cups of sugar 

1 cup of butter, melted (2 sticks) 

1 1/2 teaspoons almond extract 

Optional powdered sugar 

Beat eggs and sugar until smooth and lemon yellow colored. Add the melted butter, flour and almond extract, and mix well. Spread in a well greased 9x13 pan. Bake at 325f for about 30-40 minutes. Test with a toothpick in the center. Dust with powdered sugar if you'd like and cut into squares or bars. 

i have a lemon cookie recipe that i've been making for like three years and that ppl love! 

- 1 stick of butter, softened

- 1/3 cup flour 

-3/4 cup sugar

- 1 tbsp brown sugar 

- 1 tsp vanilla extract 

- 1 large egg yolk

- zest of a lemon 

- 1/4 tsp baking soda 

- 1/2 tsp baking powder

- 1/4 tsp salt 

In a small bowl, mix flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda. 

In a large bowl, whisk butter and white & brown sugars. Add egg, vanilla, and lemon zest. Add the flour mixture. 

Place on parchment paper in tbsp-size balls (12 cookies). The dough will be super crumbly, and you will have to kind of squeeze the balls into shape. 

Bake at 350F for 11 min. 

Let cool, and then flatten them with a fork if they need it! :3 

I have a Betty Crocker tabletop pizza maker,

you can make great cookies with it.

I enjoy it a lot because the oven don't need usage in the Summer, the pizza maker pretty much contains it's own heat.

Stupidly EASY peanut butter cookies

Makes about 2-1/2 dozen

Ingredients:

1 cup of peanut butter

1 cup of sugar

1 large egg

That's it.

Beat ingredients together 

Roll into one-inch balls

Place on a greased cookie sheet

Flatten them just a bit (I just press 'em down a bit with a shot glass)

Pattern the tops with a fork or something

Bake in preheated oven at 350°F for about 8 minutes. 

Remember, there is no flour, or yeast or anything in these, so they're not going to rise or expand much at all during baking.
