Delicious! But made a TON (I got 58 cookies). I literally didn't have a mixing bowl big enough, had to use the lid to my cake carrier. To scale by 1/3: 1 c flour 1 t baking powder 1 t baking soda 1 t cinnamon 1/4 t salt (heaping) 1 stick butter 1/2 c sugar 1/2 c brown sugar 1 egg 1 t vanilla 1 c choc chips 1 c oats 2/3 c coconut 2/3 c pecans
I think every butter cookie recipe should come with a link to this article: http://www.nytimes.com/2008/12/17/dining/17bake.html?_r=0 I printed it out and stuck it in my recipe binder when I first ran across it, and I reread it for tips almost every time I try a new butter dough recipe. I also think the suggestion to reduce the butter would help keep the cookies from flattening, and will try that.
Chill the dough for 24 hours, and your cookies will be crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside.
Can you leave out the nuts? If so, do you increase other add ins?
Delicious - substituted the pecans with a mixture of almonds and walnuts! Definitely recommend chilling the dough for an hour or so.
It's sad that the Times asked just the wives for a cookie recipe... supporting the archaic roles of women and strengthening the patriarchy more. It's because of things like this, we do not have not had a female president yet.
I agree with the sentiment, but to be fair, it was Family Circle Magazine, not the Times, which did the asking, and it was the year 2000 which is more than a generation ago.
I think that’s reaching a bit. There’s nothing wrong with asking men’s wives for recipes. Accomplished women can also bake, and are more likely to bake. Cooking and food in general is a great peace maker. What they could do in addition is to ask male politicians for their recipes, cookies or otherwise. Omelettes. Baked Beans.
