OMG!!!! Got an order for 92 lbs cookies!!! - Page 2

We are starting working on this order today. We have to deliver them on June 25th. I dont' think I'll be freezing them. Sure I'll share my recipes, Just give a little time. Right now I'm on a break.

Heres is my first recipe. It comes from C&H Sugar (www.chsugar.com)

Buttery Melt-A-Ways

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Description:
Nice With Hot Tea or Coffee

Cooking Time: Bake 12 to 15 minutes

Ingredients:
1 cup butter or margarine (2 sticks), softened
1/2 cup C&H Pure Cane Powdered Sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
2 1/4 cups cake flour
1/4 tsp. salt
C&H Pure Cane Powdered Sugar

Instructions:
Preheat oven to 375°F. In large bowl beat butter and ½ cup sugar until fluffy. Add vanilla. Combine flour and salt; stir into sugar mixture. Drop by teaspoon, 2 inches apart, on cookie sheet. Bake 12 to 15 minutes until set but not brown. Remove to rack to cool; sprinkle with powdered sugar while still warm.

Serving Size: Makes 3 1/2 dozen

Notes:
I use 1/2 cup butter and 1/2 cup margarine
2 cups all-purpose flour
And I use my cookie press (with a yield of prox. 75 cookies)

This recipe is from Land o'lakes.com, I call them cinnamon cookies. Very tasty. I made them using a very small cookie scoop (just like an ice cream scoop) I think it's number 100. And I don't chill the dough, freshly made is just the right consistency for scooping.


MELT-IN-YOUR-MOUTH SHORTBREAD COOKIES
Preparation time: 40 min Chilling time: 2 hrs Baking time: 7 min
Yield: 3 1/2 dozen cookies

1 cup LAND O LAKES® Ultra Creamy Butter, softened
1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Combine butter, brown sugar and vanilla in large bowl. Beat at medium speed, scraping bowl often, until creamy. Reduce speed to low; add flour. Beat, scraping bowl often, until mixture leaves side of bowl and forms a smooth, soft dough.

Divide dough in half. Shape each half into 6x2-inch round log. Wrap each log in plastic food wrap; refrigerate at least 2 hours.

Heat oven to 375°F. Cut logs into 1/4-inch slices with sharp knife. Place 1 inch apart onto ungreased cookie sheets. Bake for 7 to 9 minutes or until lightly browned on edges. Let stand 5 minutes before removing from cookie sheets.

Stir together sugar and cinnamon in small bowl. Roll warm cookies in cinnamon-sugar mixture.
