Classic Cookie Recipes

Cookie recipes are sometimes closely guarded family secrets that are passed down from generation to generation. This website will unmask those secrets by bringing together techniques, tips and baking advice for some of the most delicious homemade creations.


Make some memories with homemade cookies

Homemade cookies are the ultimate comfort food. The first heavenly smell of a plate of warm cookies brings back memories of a simpler more secure time in life. During childhood, the thought of cookies and a cold glass of milk waiting for me at home could calm the worst Peanut Butter Cookieschool day anxieties. I can remember my mom pulling out a yellow index card stained with the ingredients of many batches of cookies. From my mouth would come the cry “Can I help?” Of course, she would always say yes. I figured that if I helped, the cookies would get made a lot faster. Although, now that we let our kids help, it is apparent that it took my mom twice as long to make them.

There are six different types of cookies, which are classified by the way the dough is handled. These types are: drop, molded, spritz, ice box, rolled and bar.

Bar Cookie Recipes
Bar Cookie Recipes are made in a similar way to cookies and are also classified as a type of cookie. I suppose it is because cookies use a similar batter and they are more portable than a slice of cake.
