Time to restock my freezer, but not with ice cream. Shocked? Well, I will be replacing the ice cream that was consumed this last week, but my goal today is to restock my freezer with cookie dough. It is rule #2 of successful mothering, isn't it? And I have not been very successful in that area this last month. Thanks to several drool causing posts I am off to make love to my amazing Kitchen Aid mixer and whip up these lovely looking photos:Magirk's Awesome Chocolate Chip Cookies (That picture just screams for a glass of milk and a good book)
Mrs. Annie's Grandma Ida's Oatmeal Cookies (I'm putting your bragging to the test.) =)
Michal's Chocolate Chip Pecan Cookies (I have been saving my precious Guittard Milk Chocolate chips for just such a recipe. And I saved some pecans from my recent pecan pie bars for this too. Never make a 9x13 pan of pecan pie bars unless you are going to give them away. I hope I don't get the mean nurse at my next appointment because I'm sure those pecans did some damage.)
And then I will be whipping up a big batch of my Grandpa's Favorite Gingersnaps too. I don't have any pics because I'm usually too busy fighting my family for a few to get my hands on a camera.
Grandpa’s Favorite Gingersnaps
*DSSH always likes these fresh from the oven with a cold glass of milk. If you take a bite of a warm cookie and a drink of cold milk the milk will make it crunch up but it will still be warm and gooey on the inside. You can freeze the dough for up to 3 months in a freezer ziplock bag.
Ingredients
¾ C. Butter or Margarine
¾ C. Shortening
2 C. Sugar
2 eggs
½ C. Molasses
Mix the above till smooth
Add:
4 C. Flour
2 tsp. Baking Soda
2 tsp. Cinnamon
2 tsp. Ground Cloves
2 tsp. Ground Ginger
Mix well then shape into balls (I use a cookie scoop that measures exactly at a tablespoon. So if your cookie balls are larger you may have to increase baking time) and roll in sugar.
Bake at 375 degrees for 8-10 minutes. I use a small cookie scoop and only leave them in for 8 minutes. Cool on a wire rack.

I need to be doing the same as we ran out last night. :( What's the point of having a deep-freezer? Really! Let's see, my oat-choc cookies, family choc-chip cookies, brown sugar cookies. Yep, that should do nicely... for now! YUMM-O!
oh you are making want to make cookies....which I haven't done in forever. I don't bake snacks much...but maybe I will today :)
thanks for trying my recipe. you won't be disappointed.
i have a similar gingersnap recipe, and those sound soooo good. plus, we just ate the last of the chocolate chip pecan cookies, even though i put them in the freezer to slow down the consumption.
having cookie dough in the freezer does sound like a good rule of thumb. as long as i can control myself.
i think i'll defrost some butter and get to work on one of these recipes!
I think I will be coming over to your house soon to use your freezer stock :) !!
Right now I can't store cookie dough in my freezer because there is never enough room. That is probably a good thing, though :) !!
hummena hummena...
What's a girl to do? When I see recipes like this, I must make them. That's all there is to it.
:)
I love cookies and I thank you for these recipes!! My weight, however, does not.
Okay, you cracked me up with the "...I am off to make love to my amazing Kitchen Aid mixer..." :)
