Cowboy Cookies
---------------

1 cup margarine
1 cup white sugar
1 cup brown sugar
2 eggs
1 t vanilla
2 c rolled oats
1 1/2 c flour
1 t baking soda
1/2 t baking powder
1/2 t salt

1 cup chocolate chips
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
(can add 1/4 cup coconut)

Cream together shortening and sugar. Add eggs and beat til fluffy. Add vanilla and dry ingredients. Fold in chocolate chips, nuts and coconut.

Oven at 350 degrees. These spread quite a bit, so space well by heaping tsps.
Bake about 10-15 minutes (depending on size of cookies) til edges are just browned. Leave on cookie sheet two minutes, then remove to cool. They firm up a bit on cooling, so I like them just getting browned, then when they are cool they are both crispy and chewy.

I forget the amount they make, but it's many dozens!
But don't expect them to last long - they are amazing!

Secret Recipe Chocolate Chip Cookies

Mix together:
1 cup butter or margarine
3/4 cup brown sugar
3/4 cup white sugar
2 eggs
2 tsp vanilla
1 tblsp lemon juice

In seperate bowl combine:
2 1/4 cups flour
1/2 cup oats
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1 1/4 tsp baking soda

Chocolate Chips - as much as you like
nuts - optional

Preheat oven to 350'.
Add dry ingredients to wet ingedients. Then add the chocolate chips & nuts. Put in fridge for about 10 min. So butter hardens a little,otherwise cookies will spread out too much while baking.
Bake JUST untill lightly browned,they may still be slightly puffed.
*lemon juice is the secret ingredient.It activates the baking soda to make the cookies softer.

this thread should be a sticky!!!!!!!
ill be trying all 3 of these cookies this week thanx ladies
LUA WHERE ARE YOU THIS IS YOUR THREAD?!?!?!

TD, I've asked again and again that the main recipe groups be stickies.... but nothing...

one day it will happen i hope iy would make life a bit easier and it only makes sense :)
so there are two version of making the sweet roses ill post both and then you guys can make which ever one that suites your taste buds more

1st version of sweet roses
1 egg
100mL yogurt
100 mL sugar
100mL semolina
100mL Olive Oil
lemon zest this is optional i personally dont add lemon zest
8g baking powder
8g vanilla powder
add in enough flour for it to become a dough

for the simple syrup you need 3 cups of sugar and 3 cups of water add in 1/4 of a lemon with the juice make this before you start the dough so it can cool down by the time you use it

now if the dough is going to be a whitish cream color what i did was take half of it and added coco thats how i got the brown and white effect sometimes ill add red food coloring and you get pinkish roses or you can leave them white :)

directions
1. mix everything except for the baking powder and flour
2. add in a bit of flour then baking powder
3. add in enough flour until your dough mixture feels like you ear lobe i know this sounds weird but it works like a charm :D
4. once you have your dough ready you can divide the dough into pieces add coloring coco or whatever your heart desires
5. roll out your dough until its 3-4 mm thick then take a small circle cookie cutter i used the top of a turkish tea cup and cut out a bunch of circles
6. take 5-6 circles and overlap them then roll them starting from the very first circle
(this part is hard to explain here are some pics hope they help cause im really bad at giving recipes)
7. then you bake them for 20-25 min at 350C or until the white parts start to turn a bit brown
8. add the simple syrup just make sure one of the two is cold see i didn't know that if you add hot simple syrup to hot cookies it turns them into something mushy dont make the mistake i did wait till your simple syrup is nice and cool

http://resim.nefisyemektarifleri.net...rabiye-111.jpg

These cookies are very different - but well worth trying because they are SO delicious!

These need to be chilled overnight before baking. It's good to make the candied peel the day before as well.

Lemon Cornmeal Wafers

1 1/2 c flour
1 1/4 c sugar
1 c yellow cornmeal
1 c softened butter
2 large egg yolks
1 t grated lemon peel

Combine flour and cornmeal. In another bowl, beat butter and sugar til fluffy. Add egg yolks and lemon peel, beat in dry ingredients and mix well.
Divide into half, and shape into 10" logs. Wrap in wax paper and chill overnight.
Preheat oven at 350 degrees. Slice logs into 1/4 inch slices. Bake on ungreased cookie sheet 10 to 12 minutes until firm.

Glaze
-----
Stir 3 t lemon juice into 1 c icing sugar. Add more juice if needed.

Candied Lemon Peel
-------------------
Remove peel from lemon and cut thinly into about 1 1/2 inch strips.
In pan, combine 1/4 c sugar and 1/4 c water. Bring to boil til sugar is dissolved, add peel and cook five minutes.
Remove peel onto paper towel, cool. Then toss peel with 1/4 cup sugar.

After glazing cookies, put a few pieces of candied peel on each.

Note: I also tried using mandarin orange peel, it worked well.

They look very much like the below pic, just with candied peel added on top.

i had to cut the baking time down to 10 minutes on these as they browned really fast (using electric stove). Might add a bit more oatmeal so they don't spread quite so much, but they definitely are yummy! thanks for posting!

Thanks, lucy = it's one of my most requested recipes! It's the combo of chewy, yet crispy, which does it!

Love this thread! Can't wait to try some of these recipes :)

Thanks for bumping the thread. My husband and I baked two different types of molasses cookies last weekend. I'll try to add them later.
