When you sell cookies, is it illegal to use a brand’s recipes?
Filed Under Chocolate cookie recipes | 2 Comments
Kiki asked:
Just on a small scale… I want to sell holiday cookies to people at my college for a little extra cash. But what if I use, say, the chocolate chip cookie recipe from the back of the Tollhouse bag? Is it illegal to sell those?
Just seems like it would be hard to enforce, I could put an extra 1/8th of a teaspoon of sugar and it would be my own…

Also, do I need a food-handler’s license to do this? Or can I just put a disclaimer on the flyers that says they’re home-made?

Old Fashion Recipes for Baking on Cold Winter Days
Filed Under Chocolate cookie recipes | Comments Off
Grandma Linda asked:
Now that winter has set in and with it the long, cold, often rainy or snowy days, it is time to warm your home and hearth with some delicious baked goods. Here is a good selection of recipes from my vintage collection that would be perfect to make with the kids or just by yourself to share later. The Applesauce Raisin Muffins would make good after-school treats, lunchbox items, or breakfast treats with a hot drink and some yogurt for protein. The mint cookies are great to make with the kids and they remind you of the famous Girl Scout Mint Cookies. The Lacy Oatmeal Wafer Cookies are Swedish cookies known as Havreflarn in Sweden. They are easy but fancy. How about letting the kids help you make Homemade Granola Bars they can have as treats or take in their lunchboxes. Kids love eating something they helped to make. So get out the flour, sugar, etc, don an apron and get started on that baking!
HOMEMADE GRANOLA BARS
3 1/2 cups oats
1 cup walnuts, chopped
1 cup raisins
2/3 cup butter, melted
1/3 cup honey
1 egg, beaten
1/2 tsp vanilla
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1 can cherry pie filling
Spread oats in a jellyroll pan and toast in a 350 degree oven for 15 to 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. In a large bowl, mix oats, nuts, and raisins. Melt butter in saucepan. Add honey, egg, vanilla, salt, brown sugar, and pie filling. Stir into oat mixture. Press firmly into greased jelly roll pan. Bake 25 to 30 minutes at 350 degrees. Cool, cut into squares.
QUICK AND EASY MINT COOKIES
This recipe was passed out at a Christmas Open House at a local flower shop in Southern Indiana years ago. These cookies are very simple and they will remind you of the “Girl Scout” Mint Cookies.
Melt 1 pound semisweet chocolate coating. Add 6 drops of oil of peppermint flavoring and mix well to blend. Dip Ritz crackers till well coated and place them on a waxed paper lined cookie sheet to set. Store in an airtight container and keep in a cool place until ready to serve.
LACY OATMEAL WAFER COOKIES
This is a cookie recipe from Sweden. It is known as Havreflarn in Sweden.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
1/2 cup butter
1/4 cup sifted all-purpose flour
1/2 cup sugar
3/4 cup quick-cooking oats
2 tbsp cream
Melt butter in a medium saucepan. Add flour, sugar, oats, and cream. Cook, stirring constantly, just until mixture starts to bubble. Remove from the heat and stir briskly for a few seconds. Drop by rounded tablespoonfuls about 4-inches apart onto well greased and lightly floured baking sheets. Place only 5 or 6 cookies on a baking sheet at a time. Bake at 375 degrees five to six minutes until golden brown. Cool wafers for 2 minutes on baking sheet. Remove carefully from baking sheet with a thin spatula and place over rolling pin until firm. If cookies harden before they can be removed from pan, reheat in oven for a few seconds to soften again. Makes about 2 1/2 dozen.
APPLESAUCE RAISIN MUFFINS
1 large egg
2 tbsp vegetable oil
1 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
2 cups flour
3/4 tsp baking soda
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1/2 tsp cinnamon
3/4 cup raisins
Beat together the egg, oil and applesauce. Add flour, baking soda, baking powder, nutmeg, and cinnamon; beat well. Stir in raisins. Spoon batter into oiled and floured muffin tins. Bake at 375 degrees for 20 to 25 minutes or until firm to the touch and browned. Cool on wire racks. Delicious topped with cream cheese!
Note: This is a soft and spicy muffin. Very good.
Enjoy!

Sweet Treats Perfect for the Lunchbox, Oatmeal Raisin Cinnamon Cookies
Filed Under Chocolate cookie recipes | Comments Off
Linda Wilson asked:
One of the easiest things to learn in the kitchen is baking cookies. Most of us learned to bake cookies as kids. I vividly remember my mother allowing me to “help” her…God bless her for her patience…bake cookies. I was so excited when I was allowed to take on the project on my own. I remember coming home from a junior high home economics class with my chocolate chip cookie recipe in hand. I couldn’t wait to tell her how excited I was to make these for my family. She looked at my recipe and asked if I was planning to do that now. Of course I was. She looked around her perfectly clean kitchen, I realized later that she had just cleaned the kitchen and mopped the floor, and told me I should get right to it. Then she told me I needed to remember I would have to clean up my mess. (Treat her kindly for me, God. She deserves it!) So have patience with your youngsters and get them in the kitchen and let them help you make these cookies. Someday you will be gone, but they will always have the memories of these times spent with you…even when they are grandparents themselves!
OATMEAL RAISIN CINNAMON COOKIES
1 cup butter, softened
1 cup light brown sugar, packed
1/3 cup granulated sugar
2 eggs
1 1/2 tsps vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
2 1/2 cups quick cooking oats
1 pkg (10 oz) cinnamon chips (I prefer HERSHEY’S)
3/4 cup raisins
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
In a medium mixing bowl, beat together the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until creamy. Add the eggs and vanilla; beat well. In a small bowl, combine the flour and baking soda. Add to the butter mixture, beating well. Stir in the oats, cinnamon chips, and raisins. The batter will be stiff. Drop by heaping teaspoons onto ungreased cookie sheets. Bake 10 to 12 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool 1 minute on the cookie sheet before removing to cool completely on wire racks.
Yield: Approximately 4 dozen
Enjoy!

Get rewarded with home cooking and the novelty of your recipes
Filed Under Chocolate cookie recipes | Comments Off
Sunil Punjabi asked:
Even if some of these can be considered plausible explanations, it goes without saying that eating out frequently is not recommended at all. An occasional ‘food binge’ might be okay even if you are a ‘food faddie’ or not, but frequent eating out, whatever the reasons for it, is unacceptable. Home cooking has its enormous charms, and thankfully, too few people deny the charms of home cooked food. Everyone is happy to have food cooked at home with excellent recipes. That is, everyone enjoys delicious home cooked food so far as they do not have to do the cooking themselves. In other words, cooking is forced to bear the stamp of a tedious chore. This is a rather unjust burden that is forced upon it. Cooking is an art, and a talent people can cultivate if they have some interest.
Time is ripe for the reverse evolution of getting addicted to home cooking and delicious recipes instead of getting addicted to the chips and fries of fast food chains. Trying out new recipes has its own reward. There are plenty of recipes to choose from, starting from a variety of appetizers and ending with an array of desserts. Though some dishes may entail laborious work, there are enough simple ones you can choose from. And ensure that there is variety in your cooking. One of the reasons people opt to eat out is the monotonousness of home cooked food. Too many people use the same menu for lunch and dinner and this could make mealtimes unappetizing. Try out new and exotic recipes. Incorporate some novelty into your cooking. Different family members would obviously have different tastes, and unless there is variety and novelty in home cooked food, it is not possible to attract all family members to the meal table.
Vegetarianism and Veganism is in fashion. Fusion food is a gourmet’s passion. Outdoor grills are fun. Salad carving and food decor are arts that can be developed to perfection. Each of these simple statements offers a world of information and lots of challenges to those who are interested in home cooking and are keen to improve their knowledge of the art. Further, when you are using recipes, you have ample opportunity to concentrate on the nutritional aspects of the family’s diet. Be careful of the calories in your dishes, even while giving importance to its taste and appearance. Barbecuing and grilling outdoors can be great fun. If you have space to manage that, it is one of the best facets of home cooking and an ideal way in which the whole family can join in the cooking and share its fruits together. Above all, remember that cooking is not just for one’s own family. Invite your friends and relatives on festival days and have a barbecue outside or use your best recipes inside to entertain them. You will soon realize that it is a very rewarding experience.

Change a chewy cookie recipe?
Filed Under Cooking & Recipes | 2 Comments
Kristin H asked:
I like my cookies chewy and I like them to stay that way after cooling. My friend gave me a chocolate chip cookie recipe she had modified and tested over a long time to get it right; they are super chewy! My question is do you think I can use the same dough base and just put white chocolate chips and macadamia nuts in instead? How much of each should I use? My only concern is that the cookies won’t have enough dough to hold them together if there are more add-ins. Any advice would be great!
