Three Essential Drop Cookies
Classic Chocolate Chunk Cookies & Pecan-Oat Double Chip Cookies are classified as drop cookies. Once the dough has been blended, it may be dropped from a spoon or small spring release scoop onto prepared pans before baking. They may be filled with all sorts of delicious ingredients ranging from chocolate & nuts to dried fruits, oats & spice. Drop cookies may use all purpose flour, cocoa powder for rich taste or have ground nuts & oats in them to bind the ingredients together.

A fresh from the oven batch of Bourbon-Molasses Oatmeal Cookies offer undeniable good taste with a chewy texture that can’t be beat plus they are filled with festive spirits & bold molasses. The key to success when preparing these cookies is to begin the mixing process with butter that is the proper consistency. It shouldn’t be too firm nor too soft.

Classic Chocolate Chunk Cookies
Chocolate chip cookies come in all sorts of shapes & sizes. Some will profess a love of thin & crisp while others swoon over soft & chewy. No matter your preference, one thing I have found is that someone rarely passes when offered a classic beauty. Chopping chocolate, even just a simple package of morsels, provides bits of chocolate dispersed throughout this cookie. It is relatively solid so it’s important to focus on the task. Place the quantity of chocolate needed on a large cutting board. Using a sharp chef knife, start at one corner of the amount needed. Position the knife blade straight over it. While holding the handle in one hand, apply pressure with palm of your other hand. Push downward over the top of the knife blade. The chocolate will begin to break into pieces. Once in smaller pieces, rock the chef knife over the chocolate to chop further. Learn how to make a traditional drop cookie friends will rave over.

Peanut Butter-Toffee Cookies
An eye-catching Peanut Butter-Toffee Cookie may be easily achieved. Portion the dough by using a small spring release disher. Place onto parchment paper or foil-lined half sheet pans. Flatten the dough slightly, using your fingers. Chop extra candy bars & press the pieces onto the tops of the dough before baking. The same concept can be applied for chocolate morsels, if desired.
