Crack Cookies Recipe

Cookies are the way to anyone's heart.  I was teaching a lesson in Church a couple weeks ago and my Dad always taught me that if you want to keep your class engaged, treats are the easiest way to go.  I'm sure good content is up there in the top 3 or so lol.  I love baking cookies and the kids love licking the bowl so it's really a win-win.

Crack Cookie Recipe

Jen has the very best chocolate chip cookie recipe that has just the right about of sweet and salty flavors.  I like to take her basic recipe and fool around with it from time to time so I took a bunch of things from the pantry and got creative.  I figured cranberries, white chocolate, coconut and almond would work well together and from the feedback I got at church I would say I was right.  My girlfriend lovingly referred to them as "Crack Cookies" because she couldn't stop thinking about them after she got home.  I thought it was a perfect name since you won't be able to stop eating them.

Crack Cookies Recipe:

1 lb butter {4 sticks}
1 1/2 cup brown sugar
2 cups sugar
1/2 TBSP vanilla
1/2 TBSP almond extract
3 eggs
Combine these ingredients together first and then sift in:
1 1/2 tsp baking soda
1 1/2 tsp salt
5 1/2-6 cups flourThen mix in 1 bag white chocolate chips, 1/2 cup dried cranberries & 1/4 cup shredded coconut
Bake @375 for 8-10 minutes on an ungreased cookie sheet.

 

I like to use an ice cream scoop to make sure my cookies are uniform.  This small scoop is perfect for bite size cookies and the medium is great for full size cookies.  I just love this silicone baking mat, it really is life changing.  It makes clean up so quick and easy and protects the cookies from getting burnt.  If I want to bring out the flavor in any cookie I place a pinch of this fleur de sel on top of each cookie before I bake them.  That extra hit of saltiness is just divine!  Hope you enjoy baking these next time you are looking for a little something special for an event or just for your family.
