Legend: Legacy of the Dragons Forum

I'm sorry not to give you a picture but I am actually sharing this recipe more for good taste than in an attempt to win the contest. I like eating these cookies when I want a cookie but not a sickeningly sweet holiday thing like frosted sugar cookies. The spices are not that strong but kind of nice and go well with the raisins.

Ingredients:
1 stick of butter (I think that's about 100g)
1/2 cup of brown sugar (slightly more than 100g - just make a pile of it a tiny bit bigger than the butter stick)
1 egg
little splash of vanilla extract
1/2 cup of all-purpose flour (same amount as sugar)
small spoonful baking soda
medium spoonful of ground cinnamon (I really like cinnamon though so adjust if you don't)
really tiny spoonful of nutmeg
pinch of table salt
1 1/2 cups rolled oats (they weigh less than flour so I don't know how many grams, but thrice the volume of the flour)
1/2 cup of raisins (same amount as sugar)

Directions:
First cream the butter and sugar together in a large bowl.
Add the egg and vanilla and stir it all up.
Professional recipes often suggest mixing the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg and oatmeal together in a separate bowl and then adding them to the wet mix you've made. But I skip this step and dump them straight into the creamed butter/sugar/vanilla/egg mix so you can feel free to do the same and then stir them in well.
Stir in the raisins last. Their hard surface area will help mix together any remaining veins of unmixed ingredients inside the dough.
Use a large spoon to scoop out lumps of dough onto an ungreased cookie sheet. Shape each into a slightly flattened cookie shape and leave at least two thumbs' distance between each raw cookie. Bake at 175C for between 10 and 15 minutes. Just watch them to make sure they don't start to burn. You want them to turn golden brown at most. I consider them ready to eat as soon as they've come out of the oven.

Marzipan sugar cookies

2 of my favorite Christmas flavors merged into one!

start with Joy of Cooking's sugar cookies recipe
preheat Oven at 375F
Sift together:
2.5 cups flour
1.5 Tsp baking powder
0.75 Tsp salt
1 Tsp cinnamon or 0.5 Tsp nutmeg (I prefer cinnamon)

seperately combine
1 cup sugar
0.75 cup vegetable oil
mix well then beat in
2 eggs
1 Tsp vanilla

pour the dry ingredients into the wet and mix into a firm dough

spoon out ~tablespoon sized balls, roll into a ball then flatten on the cookie sheet

top with ~ 1 Tsp martzipan mix and bake 10-12 minutes

Martzipan topping

1 cup almond paste
1 cup butter softened at room temperature (or partially melt in microwave)
1 cup sugar
1 Tsp ground cardomon
1 Tsp vanilla

mix thouroughly

the above should also work to make rolled pinwheels although I have yet to try it this way.
roll out the dough on a cookie sheet. trim to a square. spread out the martzipan mix evenly.
roll the dough and cool in the fridge for 1 hour. cut pinwheels and place on baking sheet.
bake as above. sprinkle with powdered sugar if desired.

by-the-way, I found that the above recipe took 2 batches of cookies to use up the martzipan topping. so plan accordingly...yummy!

preheat oven till 207C

225g butter amd 140g caster sugar and (optional) a sprinkling of brown sugar which suits your satisfaction into a bowl, mix them and gradually add 1 tbsp vanilla sugar (or 1 tbsp vanilla extract), sieve 77g plain flour and pinch of salt

mix 'em all up

Seprately, take 1/2 cup melted butter and stir it with 4 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder and another 1 tbsp vanilla sugar (or 1 tbsp vanilla extract) 'till well combined

try to coat the the second with the first, if you fail you can always resort to dumping them together - no problem

get three bars of twix and cut them up into chunks
add them as well according to your judgement

enter oven.

i made this up. good luck

1 cup butter, softened

1 cup packed brown sugar

3/4 cup sugar

2 Eggland's Best Eggs

1-1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract

2-2/3 cups all-purpose flour

1-1/4 teaspoons baking soda

Shape quarter
cupfuls of dough into balls. Place in an airtight container, separating
