Spoon Cookies Recipes

Steps:

• Whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl. Add the butter and granulated sugar to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. Beat on high speed for a full 2 minutes, scraping down the bowl halfway through the mixing; the butter should be very light and fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla and beat on medium speed until well combined. Add half the dry ingredients and beat on low speed to combine. Scrape down the mixing bowl before adding the remaining dry ingredients and beat to combine. Refrigerate for 1 hour in the bowl for drop cookies, or form into a 1-inch log for slice-and-bake cookies.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Place the turbinado sugar in a small bowl. For drop cookies, scoop the cookie dough with a 1 tablespoon-size cookie scoop and then dip the tops of the cookie dough balls into the sugar. Place onto the prepared baking sheet.
• For slice-and-bake cookies, cut the log into 1/2-inch-thick rounds. Press the tops into the sugar and place on the prepared baking sheet.
• Bake the cookies until slightly puffed and lightly golden on the bottom, about 15 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325˚F (160˚C).
• Place the sugar cookie dough sheet on a lightly floured surface.
• Sprinkle the flour over the dough and knead together.
• Roll out the dough to a ¼-inch (6-mm) thick square.
• Top with sprinkles and lightly roll out the dough again so the sprinkles become submerged in the dough.
• Place a spoon on top of the dough and trace its shape with a paring knife. Reroll the dough as needed to cut out 8 spoons.
• Arrange spoons upside-down on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Lightly grease with nonstick cooking spray.
• Place each cookie spoon cutout on top of a spoon. Lightly press down to mold.
• Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the cookie dough is light brown.
• Cool for 10 minutes before carefully removing the cookies from the spoons.
• Microwave the milk chocolate chips and coconut oil together in a glass measuring cup or bowl in 30-second intervals, until the chips are completely melted.
• Dip each cookie spoon in chocolate and let dry on a wire rack for about 10 minutes.
• Serve with ice cream, if desired.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
• Cream the butter or margarine with the white sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the vanilla and eggs and mix well. Stir in the baking powder and flour. Drop dough by rounded spoonfuls onto the prepared baking sheets.
• In a small bowl beat milk into the confectioners' sugar a tablespoon at a time until it is of a drizzling consistency.
• Bake cookies at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for about 10 minutes.
• Let cookies cool then drizzle with confectioners' sugar and milk glaze then sprinkle with candy sprinkles.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
• Melt the butter in a small, heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat. Continue to cook, swirling the pan occasionally, until the butter browns lightly and smells slightly nutty, about 15 minutes. Transfer the butter to a medium bowl -- be sure to get all the tasty brown bits -- and cool slightly.
• Meanwhile, whisk the flour, baking powder and salt in another medium bowl.
• Whisk the egg yolk, sugar and vanilla into the cooled browned butter.
• Stir the dry ingredients into the butter mixture to make a uniform but crumbly dough that looks like wet sand.
• Scoop out dough with a small teaspoon (the kind you set the table with, not the ones you measure with). Rock spoon gently back and forth against the side of the bowl, packing the dough into the spoon, then scrape/slide the spoon against the inside of the bowl to make spoon-shaped cookies. Trim excess dough with your fingers and slide out onto the prepared pans, preserving their shape. (Try to make sure you form an even number of cookies, since these sandwich together.)
• Bake cookies until just browned, about 12 to 15 minutes. Cool almost completely on the baking sheets, and then transfer cookies to a rack to cool.
• When cool, spread 1/2 teaspoon jam on the flat side of a cookie, and then sandwich together with a second cookie. Repeat until all cookies have met their match. Lightly dust the cookies with the confectioners' sugar. Serve.
• Busy baker's tips: The dough can be prepared several hours ahead and stored at room temperature. Freeze baked cookie halves wrapped tightly in plastic wrap, followed by aluminum foil for up to 2 weeks. When ready to serve, defrost at room temperature and assemble as desired. Store sandwiches in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Do not store with crisp cookies, as moisture from the jam will soften the texture of other crisp cookies.
