Cookie Dough Recipe – Icebox Cookies

by
cookie dough recipe

Do you buy sleeves of premade cookie dough at the supermarket? You can make a homemade cookie dough recipe to keep in the freezer and then bake cookies whenever the mood strikes. Just slice off four or six or a dozen cookies or whatever you deserve and pop them into the oven for fresh baked cookies in a matter of minutes.

cookie dough recipe

¾ cup SUGAR
½ cup BUTTER
1 EGG
1 tsp VANILLA
¾ cup NUTS
2 cups FLOUR

  • Around 30 minutes prior to making the dough, set out the butter and 1 egg.
  • In a mixing bowl, cream the sugar and the softened butter together. In the video, CG uses an electric mixer, but you can simply do this step by hand if you wish.
  • Mix the vanilla and the egg into the butter/sugar.
  • Add nuts. We use pecans, but walnuts or slivered almonds are good.
  • Incrementally mix in the dry flour until the flour is incorporated into the wet ingredients.
  • Divide the dough into thirds.
  • On a sheet of parchment paper, roll out each portion into a “log” shape about 1”-1½” inches in diameter. Check parchment paper prices on Amazon.
  • Roll the dough up into the parchment paper, twist the ends, and then place in the freezer until ready to bake.

Baking the Cookies

When you’re in the mood for cookies, just remove a roll of dough from the freezer and bake away. The sweet thing about having the dough premixed and rolled up, is that you can bake the entire roll, or simply slice off and bake as many cookies as you’re in the mood to eat.

  • Preheat oven to 350˚F
  • Remove dough from the freezer and slice cookies about ¼” thick.
  • On a baking sheet, arrange the cookies on parchment paper; you can use the parchment paper that the cookie dough was rolled inside! Compare prices for baking sheets on Amazon.
  • Bake cookies for about 10-12 minutes.
  • Remove cookies from the oven and allow to cool to an edible temperature, then eat away. I like to let the cookies cool completely so that they’re extra crunchy…perfect with coffee.

Keeping some dough rolled up in the freezer is an easy way to have fresh baked cookies with little fuss whenever you like. Give this cookie dough recipe a try, and for another easy cookie idea, try these Chewy Brown Sugar Bar Cookies.

No-Butter Pecan Sandies Cookie Recipe

by
pecan sandies

Try this no-butter pecan sandies cookie recipe. I substitute safflower oil for the butter in these pecan sandies, and also toast my pecans before chopping the nuts up to add into the cookie dough. Most pecan sandies recipes call for lots of butter, but I find this recipe works very well with just oil.

Ingredients for Pecan Sandies

1 EGG beaten
½ cup SAFFLOWER OIL
2 tsp VANILLA EXTRACT
1 cup SUGAR
2 cups ALL PURPOSE FLOUR
1 cup chopped PECANS

How to Make No-Butter Pecan Sandies

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Lightly toast pecans. This will only take about 5 minutes. Watch the nuts carefully because they will quickly overcook. Once nuts cool, then chop.
  • In a large bowl, whisk 1 egg and then add in the sugar, oil, and vanilla extract and mix well.
  • Fold in the flour and chopped pecans.
  • Using your hands, mold tablespoon sizes of batter into cookie shapes; be sure to make the cookies an even thickness.
  • Place cookies on parchment paper on a baking sheet and bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes. Check current prices for parchment paper on Amazon.
  • Remove cookies from the oven and transfer to a cooling rack.

I’ve made these no-butter cookies with canola oil and safflower oil, and I prefer the safflower oil. You can check the current price for safflower oil on Amazon. Sunflower oil is another good low-fat oil that tastes great in baking as well, but it’s pricier.

For another cookie recipe, try these easy brown sugar and oatmeal bar cookies.

Plain Cookies for Plain Folks

by

Crunchy, plain cookies are perfect with a cup of coffee. I love these cookies. They’re not overly sweet, but just sweet enough to pass as a cookie. If you like your cookies to shut up and sit in the corner until you’re ready for them, then this might be the cookie recipe for you.

Plain Cookie Recipe

2½ cups ALL PURPOSE FLOUR
½ cup SUGAR
½ cup OIL (I use safflower, canola, or sunflower oil…or substitute butter)
1 EGG beaten
2 tsp VANILLA EXTRACT
¼ tsp SALT
1 cup chopped WALNUTS (very optional…they won’t be plain cookies if you add nuts!)

How to Make Plain Cookies

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • In a large bowl, whisk 1 egg and then add in the sugar, oil, and vanilla extract and mix well.
  • In another bowl, sift the flour and salt.
  • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix together. Add a touch more flour if the dough is too sticky.
  • If adding nuts, chips, or dried fruit, fold that into the dough.
  • Using your hands, mold tablespoon sizes of batter into cookie shapes; be sure to make the cookies an even thickness. Or roll out the batter and cut the dough into cookie shapes.
  • Place cookies on parchment paper on a baking sheet and bake in the oven until very lightly browned on the top. Need parchment paper? Check current prices for parchment paper on Amazon. The cookies will not color up much before they are finished, so if they are browned well on the bottom, they are likely done. If you wait for the top to color well, they will be overdone. 12-15 minutes baking time is a good estimate for tablespoon-sized cookies.
  • Remove cookies from the oven and transfer to a cooling rack. Allow the cookies to cool completely for the ultimate crunchiness. These cookies are pretty plain, but they have a terrific crunch and go great with a hot beverage.

Oatmeal Cookie Recipe for Easy Cookies

by

Bake an easy oatmeal cookie recipe using rolled oats. Then add in whatever else you desire to jazz up your cookies. We almost always add raisins, but we took a break from the raisins this time and added butterscotch chips. Why do oatmeal cookies seem more healthy than other cookies? But that can’t be true, because they taste too good.

What You Need for this Oatmeal Cookie Recipe

Makes about 3 dozen cookies…the size of the cookies will determine how many

½ cup softened BUTTER (1 stick)
½ cup SUGAR (white or brown)*
1 EGG beaten
1 tsp VANILLA EXTRACT
1 cup ALL PURPOSE FLOUR
1 cup 3 minute ROLLED OATS
¼ tsp SALT
¼ tsp BAKING SODA
½ tsp BAKING POWDER
2 tsp CINNAMON
Optional:
½ cup BUTTERSCOTCH
or CHOCOLATE CHIPS
½ cup chopped RAISINS
1 cup chopped NUTS

* For a less sweet oatmeal cookie recipe, you can reduce the amount of sugar by ¼ cup, or reduce the added dried fruit and chocolate chips. They’re great cookies to enjoy with a hot coffee or tea.

Double the Recipe for More Cookies

1 cup butter
1 cup sugar
2 eggs, beaten
2 tsp vanilla extract
2 cups flour
2 cups 3-minute oats
¼ tsp salt
½ tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
3 tsp cinnamon
1 cup raisins or chocolate/butterscotch chips
1 ½ cup chopped nuts

How to Make Oatmeal Drop Cookies

  • Set butter out early to soften.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • In a large bowl, whisk 1 egg and then add sugar, butter, and vanilla extract and mix well.
  • In another bowl, combine the dry ingredients: flour, oats, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
  • Pour the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and mix until no longer dry.
  • Fold whatever else you like into your oatmeal cookie batter; nuts, raisins, chocolate or butterscotch chips, dates, dried fruit, candy. 1 to 2 cups of whatever you desire.
  • Drop the batter by the spoonful onto a lightly greased baking sheet, or use parchment paper. Make cookies whatever size you like, but make them uniform so that they will bake evenly. Need parchment paper? Check current pricing for parchment paper on Amazon.
  • Place cookies in the oven and bake until very lightly browned on the top, they will not color up much before they are finished. If they are browned well on the bottom, they are likely done. If you wait for the top to color well, they will be overdone. About 15 minutes baking time is a good estimate for Tablespoon sized cookies.
