Fabulous and Easy Delicious Classic Cookie Recipes are the Best
So what makes a cookie a classic? To me, it's a recipe that you turn to over and over again. The recipe must stand the test of time. Most of these recipes are very old and have been passed down through the generations. These are the cookies that fill cookie jars all over America. They are soft, crisp, moist, tender, and delicious all at once! Be sure to read How to Make the Best Cookies before you begin, and think about taking my How to Bake email class if you're a beginner. Measure carefully, watch the cookies as they bake, and enjoy every last sweet bite.
These fabulous cookies are great for any holiday. They're a must at Christmas, of course, and they're perfect for Easter, and Thanksgiving, and Fourth of July - heck, make them once a week! You can roll them out thin and cut with cookie cutters, or just roll the dough into balls, place on the cookie sheet, and flatten with the bottom of a glass for less work and no waste!More »
