    Hi Leslie. My tip for hosting a cookie exchange is to ask everyone to take a photo of the recipes for their cookies with their phones so they're available to text to others during the exchange. These days lots of people don't want to spend time writing out several different recipes. Many years back I hosted a cookie exchange and had everyone email me their recipes in advance. I copied the recipe text from the emails into Word documents, included the name of the recipe and the contributor, then printed a bunch of copies of each recipe on cute Christmas paper and handed them out at the exchange. I guess I had a lot more time back then! I'm looking forward to your holiday recipes 😊

    Leslie, I am a huge cookie baker and 2 of the best tips I could give you is to put your mixer bowl in freezer to chill before starting and always chill your mix up to 2 hours before scooping out to bake. Just my 2 cents 😂

    Leslie, I make shortbread for Christmas to give as presents. The recipe is 9 ounces of butter, 3ounces of confectioners sugar, 3ounces of cornflour or cornstarch as you would say and 9 ounces of plain flour. The mix is easy, just put everything into your stand mixer and mix until combined. Roll into a ball ,place in fridge for 1 hour. Then roll out and use your cookie cutters to cut out. Bake at 350 for about 10 minutes. Be careful just until brown on the outside. Leave for a few minutes before removing from cookie sheet. Love, hugs and prayers from Belfast.xxx❤❤❤

    When I have hosted cookie exchanges, we all brought enough of each of our recipes for each lady to take home a dozen of every type of cookie. That way everyone gets a nice variety. Since each baker is only making 2 or 3 types, baking a double or triple batch is not that much work, and everyone takes home enough cookies to last the whole holiday season. Hope your exchange is a big success!

    Hi Leslie! Oh dear i am!going to try these cookies for my family. I went for 15 years to a cookie exchange. It was so much FUN and we all brought a dozen cookies to share and i dozen for the cookie tray. So if there were 17 people coming which tere wereyou brought 18 dozen cookies of the same kind. I always had so many cookies . Then we each brought a 10 dollar gift and we drew numbers and who ever number it was got to pick a gift. We also played games and won gifts. Then we ate and went home and looked forward to next year. Thank you Leslie for sharing this recipe with us. So until next time God Bless you and your family and have a Blessed day and stay safe my dear and Special Friends. Happy Baking!❤❤❤

    I avoid flat cookies by chilling my cookie doughs. In fact, I like to chill the dough overnight. I think it improves the taste (I even read an article that supports that idea.) When I want to bake the cookies, I take the dough out of the frig and let it sit on the counter for about a half hour, than start baking. If the dough gets too soft (cookies are spreading too much) put it back into the refrigerator between batches.

    • @karenn993
      @karenn993 Рік тому +4

      I find it's best to scoop the dough prior to chilling. Then you can just pull out what you want without bringing the whole batch of dough to room temp. You can also freeze the dough easily this way.

    The absolute best chocolate chip cookie recipe is on the Ghirardelli baking chips bag. I'm getting ready to try the white chocolate chips with macadamia nuts recipe. My family loves the semi sweet chocolate chip cookies. They are the best, so give them a try. Really great quality chocolate, and better than the Nestles Toll House chocolate chips.

    I struggled with my chocolate chip cookies spreading out when I first start d out, but changed the butter for butter flavored Crisco, and added a bit more flour to make a stiffer dough. That took care of the problem.

  • @donnarichey144

    I think putting the dough in the refrigerator to chill it might help. My husband would love them. I like my crunchy. I wonder if you bake them longer for crunchy. I have googled before about cake flour and I think it has the cornstarch in it. You can make your own. Thank you for showing this recipe. God Bless.

    I always add peanut butter and use all butter. This makes a soft fluffy cookie! Cake flour has less protein and gluten and is finer. You have to add more cake flour if a recipe calls for all purpose.

  • @debgalloway1398
    @debgalloway1398 Рік тому

    I agree with everyone who suggests that refrigerating or even freezing the dough before baking. Another thing I suggest is trying AirBake pans, I swear by them. I used to make at least a dozen kinds for Christmas every year, along with candies, breads, rolls, salami, ranch oyster crackers, etc. Back when I was selling baked goods & made according to what sold out, planning was impossible. One day I had to make a batch quickly so I used the microwave to soften my butter. I ended up melting it by mistake and had to stop to tend to my toddler after mixing in half of the flour. When I came back a few minutes later the butter had begun to solidify again & I did not need to add all of the flour. I wondered if it would affect the cookies & it did-but in the best way! They came out so soft and moist on the inside while keeping their perfect fluffy shape. I have been making cookies the same way ever since!

  • @louannebertrand9898
    @louannebertrand9898 Рік тому

    Cake flour has a lower gluten protein content, meaning it makes for a softer baked good. Its made from a soft wheat. Also, using a scale to measure dry ingredients means your recipes are exactly the same each time. Its impossible to exert the same level of force each time you scoop flour. This recipe looks like the one from sugar spun run, which I've made in the past. She uses weight measurements, too. I do flatten the ball of dough with my palm slightly to get more of a spread.

  • @virginiamesko6369
    @virginiamesko6369 Рік тому +2

    Your cake flour is just much more finely processed. It tends to stay fluffier and lighter in your baked goods. It really does make a difference.

  • @sondrawheeler7990
    @sondrawheeler7990 Рік тому

    Cake flour is lower in protein than all purpose so what you bake is more tender. Bread flour is higher in protein to give bread more structure. Try European style butter -- it has less water than American style, so your cookies may not flatten out as much. Also, chilling the cookies before you bake them should help. Have fun at your cookie exchange!!
