Vanilla Dream Cookies Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F; line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
• In a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, add the egg whites, vanilla and cream of tartar. Beat until the mixture is frothy and soft peaks form. Gradually add the sugar 1 tablespoon at a time, waiting about 15 seconds between each addition. Once all of the sugar has been added, beat for an additional 5 minutes. The egg whites should be glossy and stiff but not dry.
• Spoon the mixture into a large pastry bag fitted with a large star tip. Pipe 2-inch cookies onto the lined baking sheets, leaving 1 inch between each cookie.
• Bake for 45 minutes, then turn off the oven and leave the cookies in the oven for an additional 30 minutes. Remove and cool completely before storing in an airtight container.

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, salt, and baking powder. Set aside.
• In the bowl of a standing mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, combine the butter and sugar and beat on medium speed until light and fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla and beat until combined.
• Add the flour mixture in 2 batches, scraping down the bowl after each addition. Beat until the dough just comes together, being careful not to over mix.
• Turn out the dough onto a lightly floured surface. Form the dough into a ball, wrap it in plastic, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
• Place the ball of dough between 2 pieces of parchment paper and roll out to 1/4-inch thick. Keeping the dough in the parchment, transfer to a cookie sheet and place in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Cut out the cookies in the desired shapes and place on a half-sheet pan lined with parchment paper or an un-greased nonstick cookie sheet, at least 1-inch apart. Transfer to the freezer and chill for at least 15 minutes or until they are firm.
• Bake until the cookies are light golden brown, about 10 minutes.
• Let cookies cool completely on the sheets before decorating.

Steps:

• Cream together the margarine, sugar and eggs. Stir in vanilla, flour, baking soda and salt.
• Roll out (not too thin) and cut into any shape. Bake at 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) for 8 minutes.
• I have used confectioner sugar frosting, or buttercream frosting, or even canned frosting ( if I'm desperate). Enjoy!

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 275˚F (135˚C). Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
• In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, salt, and baker's ammonia.
• In a separate medium bowl, cream together the butter and sugar with an electric hand mixer on low speed until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
• Add the vanilla and continue beating until fully combined.
• Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and beat to incorporate.
• Roll about 1 ounce of dough at a time in your hands to make walnut-sized balls. They will be small, about ½ inch (1 ¼ cm) wide. Place the balls of dough on the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 1 inch (2 ½ cm) of space between each cookie. Using a flat-bottomed measuring cup, gently press down on the cookies to flatten.
• Top each cookie with 3 chocolate chips, a single almond, or raisins.
• Bake the cookies for 30 minutes, or until the bottoms are light golden brown and the edges are crispy.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F. In a small bowl, whisk egg, food coloring, vanilla and orange extract. In large bowl, mix butter and sugar cookie mix until well blended. Then, mix in egg and food coloring mixture. Once soft dough has formed, stir in baking chips.
• On ungreased cookie sheets, drop dough with 1 1/2 tablespoon-size cookie scoop or by rounded tablespoonfuls about 2 inches apart.
• Bake 9 to 10 minutes or just until dough is set (do not overbake). Cool 1 minute; remove from cookie sheets to cooling racks. Cool completely.

Steps:

• To make dream cookies: in a large mixing bowl with an electric mixer, beat sugar, butter and vanilla until light and fluffy.
• Add the canola oil slowly while mixing with the mixer.
• Mix flour and baking powder in separate bowl.
• Stir in flour mixture by hand to form a smooth dough.
• Place the dough in refrigerator for about 30 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 300 F (150°C).
• Roll dream cookie dough into 1-inch balls and place them 2 inches apart on a cookie sheet.
• Bake for 20 minutes or until the dream cookies are lightly browned with cracks on the surface.
• Note: Do not open the oven until cookies are done!

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 300 degrees. Lightly grease two baking sheets. Beat together the sugar, butter, salt and vanilla. Add the flour and baker's ammonia, and beat for up to 5 minutes, until the dough comes together; it'll seem quite dry at first, but keep beating, eventually it'll clump up and become cohesive. Break off pieces of dough about the size of a large gumball. Roll them into balls, and then roll them in coarse or granulated sugar. Put them on the prepared baking sheets, and use the bottom of a glass to flatten the balls to about 1/4" thick. Bake the cookies for 25-30 minutes, until they're a very light golden brown around the edges. Remove them from the oven, and transfer them to a rack to cool. Yield: 34 cookies
