Here's my contribution to the cookie thread.

Lemon Bars

2 C flour
1/2 C powdered sugar
2 sticks butter

Mix thoroughly and pat into bottom of foil-lined (use the Silpat liners) 9x13 inch pan. Bake in 350 F oven until pale brown. Then mix:

3 C sugar
Juice and grated rind of three lemons
6 tablespoons flour
6 eggs, beaten
1/4 teaspoon salt.

Combine and pour over crust. Return to oven and bake for an additional 40 minutes or until center is set. Remove from oven and sprinkle with powdered sugar. Cool, then cut into squares. (I always add more lemon, because I like the squares really lemony.)

Don't want to "rain on your parade", but the $250.00 Neiman- Marcus Cookie recipe is an urban legend. LINK

My favorite cookies (mom's recipe, of course!):

ENGLISH TOFFEE SQUARES

2 cups chopped walnuts

1 cup (two sticks) butter

1 cup brown sugar, packed

1 egg yolk

1 tsp. vanilla

1/4 tsp. salt

2 cups sifted flour

1 pkg. (6 oz.) chocolate chips

finely ground nuts for topping.

Use large mixmaster bowl.

Cream butter, brown sugar. Add egg yolk, vanilla and salt.

Add flour till well blended. Add walnuts and mix in.

Pat into 15x10x1 teflon baking sheet.

Bake at 300 degrees for 12 minutes. As with all cookies, take a peek to avoid over-browning.

Remove from oven and sprinkle chocolate chips evenly over top. Let sit for a few minutes till chocolate is melty. Quickly spread chocolate all over baked dough with a butter knife.

Immediately sprinkle ground nuts over chocolate while it is still soft.

Let partially cool. Cut into squares or oblongs and remove to cookie racks to cool completely.

I line cookie tins with foil on the bottoms to store the squares.

These are soooo good with a cold glass of milk!

Easy to make, too.

Bon Apetit!

Here's another one of my favorite cookie recipes.

Chewy Chocolate Gingerbread Cookies

7 ounces semisweet chocolate
1 1/2 cups plus 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1 1/4 teaspoons ground ginger
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 tablespoon cocoa powder
8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter
1 tablespoon freshly grated ginger
1/2 cup dark-brown sugar, packed
1/2 cup unsulfured molasses
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 cup granulated sugar

1. Line two baking sheets with parchment. Chop chocolate into 1/4-inch chunks; set aside. In a medium bowl, sift together flour, ground ginger, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, and cocoa.

2. In the bowl of an electric mixer,fitted with the paddle attachment, beat butter and grated ginger until whitened, about 4 minutes. Add brown sugar; beat until combined. Add molasses; beat until combined.

3. In a small bowl, dissolve baking soda in 1 1/2 teaspoons boiling water. Beat half of flour mixture into butter mixture. Beat in baking-soda mixture, then remaining half of flour mixture. Mix in chocolate; turn out onto a piece of plastic wrap. Pat dough out to about 1 inch thick; seal with wrap; refrigerate until firm, 2 hours or more.

4. Heat oven to 325°. Roll dough into 1 1/2- inch balls; place 2 inches apart on baking sheets. Refrigerate 20 minutes. Roll in granulated sugar. Bake until the surfaces crack slightly, 10 to 12 minutes. Let cool 5 minutes; transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

And finally, I tried this Martha Stewart recipe last year. It is yummy.

Pecan Caramel Shortbread

3 1/2 cups pecans
1 1/2 cups (3 sticks) unsalted butter
3/4 cup packed light-brown sugar
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
Caramel for Cookies (recipe follows)

1. Heat oven to 350°. Spread pecans on a baking pan. Bake until golden and fragrant, 10 to 15 minutes. Transfer pan to a wire rack to cool. Chop roughly, and set aside.

2. In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream butter and sugar until light in color. With the mixer on low speed, add flour, and mix until just combined.

3. Line an 11-by-17-inch baking pan with parchment paper. Press dough into the bottom of baking pan in an even layer. Bake until golden, about 20 minutes.

4. Meanwhile, using a microwave or double boiler, heat caramel until liquid; stir in pecans. Spread mixture over the cookie layer. Return pan to oven, and bake until caramel is slightly darkened in color, about 10 minutes. Transfer pan to wire rack to cool. Cut into 2 3/4-by-1/2-inch rectangles.

Caramel for cookies

2 cups sugar
1/2 cup dark corn syrup
2 cups heavy cream
4 tablespoons unsalted butter

Place sugar, corn syrup, cream, and butter in a saucepan, and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Continue cooking until the temperature registers 245° on a candy thermometer, 10 to 12 minutes. Fill a large bowl with ice water. Remove saucepan from heat, and briefly plunge it into ice water to stop the cooking.

Here's what you were looking for: Salt Dough Ornaments

Thanks for posting this! It gives me a great idea. The 'youts' in our Parish are sponsoring a Parent's Shopping Day out next weekend. Folks can drop their kids off at the Parish Hall, and for a handsome fee, we'll watch the kids, play games & movies and do crafts with them so their parents can shop. The money will go to help some of our 'youts' attend, as counselors, a summer camp for terminally ill children.

My daughter and I are in charge of crafts, and it occurred to me that WE can prepare the ornaments during the week and set up a 'painting table' so the kids can paint and decorate their own ornament while they're with us. Then we'll put a nice ribbon on it and they can take it home! It will be a lot of fun.
