The Cookie Swap - A Variety of Christmas Cookies in One Afternoon

The Cookie Swap - A Variety of Christmas Cookies in One Afternoon My daughter and I love baking so when the holidays come we find it quite fun to create a variety of cookies to have Christmas Day. We also love to give away as gifts to people that we are thankful for a package full Christmas Cookies.

A few years back my daughter and I baked and baked and then gave a variety of Christmas cookies to our friends. It took us several weeks to accomplish this task as we wanted the variety of cookies. We had poured over cookie recipes to decide which delicious cookies to make. We chose some favorite cookie recipes like a chocolate chip cookie recipe, our best sugar cookie, a peanut butter, a spritz, and a ginger cookie. We then looked at new ones as we wanted the top cookie recipes! We looked at other recipes for gingerbread, recipes for thumbprint cookies, a lemon cookie, a chocolate cookie recipe and you can't forget about oatmeal cookies. When all was said and done we really had some great Christmas cookie recipes. Then we compiled this huge shopping list for the ingredients they required. When we got all our materials together the baking began. This was going to take several weeks. So the Christmas Carols were on and the baking began. My daughter and I had a good time baking up her favorites a chocolate chip cookie recipe and the sugar cookies--best part was the cookie decorations. Now I did finish the baking of the rest by myself -Christmas music still going. However, the memories of the time we baked side by side with my daughter with our aprons dotted with flour was priceless. When they were all baked we gift wrapped them in pretty Christmas tins and it was gift giving time. Oh, don't get me wrong, we also had a nice tray of cookies left at home for our Christmas dinner. A common comment from the gift recipient was that they loved the cookies but wouldn't have done it themselves. It made me sad that the tradition of Christmas cookie baking had gotten lost with the heavy to-do lists. It got me thinking next year why don't I host a Christmas cookie exchange? We all just bake one type of cookie, bring them to a fun holiday party during the party we cookie swap and we leave happy with a variety of cookies. So my planning began! We all had such a great time. It is a great way to get into the holiday spirit and socialize with people you care about. Friends, neighbors and family gather together at your home, bringing their favorite baked cookies and cookie recipes. So a new Christmas tradition was born. You too can create Christmas Tradition and host a Cookie Swap. I hope our story stirs up a little curiosity about an old tradition brought back into light.

Cookie making Made Easy

Baking is as prominent as making, if excellent small cakes are desired. Ovens differ. Use the discrete temperatures given in the recipes as a guide. But excellent your own baking temperatures, agreeing to the best results obtained from your oven. In using an galvanic oven, after the oven registers the correct heat, turn the top element off. Bake with the top element turned off. Use block tin baking sheets for the best results. The pans should not touch the walls of the oven. Most cookies burn easily. Especially is this true of cookies made of molasses and cookies made with no milk. Cookies must be watched constantly. Turn the pans frequently, while baking, to insure even browning. If you are not experienced do not start baking until all the cookies are on the baking sheets. Grease the pans with butter. This gives the good buttery taste that is primary for choice cookies. Place the cookies on the pans, allowing space for them to spread. After each pan of cookies is baked wipe off the baking sheet with a piece of heavy brown paper, slightly greased. Washing the pans in the middle of bakings has a tendency to cause cakes to stick. This is particularly true of rolled cookies. Never put a cookie on a hot pan. Never pile the cookies on top of each other to cool. Cool on sheets of brown paper.

The American method of baking is quick baking. The cookies are not allowed to dry out. For quick baking put the cookies into a 450° F. Oven and cut the climatic characteristic as needed. If hard cookies are desired, after the cookies are baked the climatic characteristic is reduced to 250° F. And the cakes are allowed to stay in the oven to dry out. The Northern European method of baking is slow baking. This makes a crisper harder cookie. The temperatures should be 350° F. To 275° F. Portion accurately. Use suitable cup and spoon measures. All the time Portion flour before sifting unless the method says: Portion after sifting. The amount varies any tablespoonfuls before and after sifting. Measuring the fat is prominent for the best results. Cutters are on the shop to cut pound cakes of butter or lard into cupfuls or portions of cupfuls. These are favorable as a labor saver, as well as a means of correct measurement. Pastry blenders are also on the market. These are particularly useful in blending butter into flour and sugar, in cookie making. The use of the blender prevents the fat from becoming oily, as it often does when the blending is done with the hands. A large rubber plate scraper, with flexible points, is an primary kitchen implement in cookie making. Use the scraper for removing mixed ingredients from bowls. It prevents waste and insures accuracy. An approximate estimation of the amount of cookies a method makes is arrived at by the amount of flour used. For example, Virginia Cookies, calling for one and one-half cups of flour makes about thirty cakes the size of a twenty-five cent piece.

Cookie Recipes

Here are two cookie recipes for you to try.

Gingerbread Cake

Sift together
10 cups flour
2 tbsp. Ginger
1 nutmeg grated
1/2 tsp. Salt

2 cups butter
2 cups sugar
1 cup molasses
1/2 cup cream

Blend the butter into the flour. Heat the molasses, sugar and cream together. Add the hot liquid to the flour. Knead to a flat stiff dough. Roll thin and cut into large round cakes. Bake at 400° F. For about eight minutes.

Shrewsbury Cake

This cookie method came to America with our first grandmothers, back in the days when English gentlemen were sent to colonial Virginia to sit in the House of Burgesses. One day, if luck smiles upon you, you will drop into a mountain cabin in North Carolina and a venerable grandmother will serve you a cup of tea poured from an aged silver pot. Then she will bring out minuscule tea biscuits, which she still calls Shrewsbury cakes, and which she still makes by her paramount old recipe.

Sift together
8 cups flour
2 cups sugar
1 tbs coriander seed powder

1/2 cup of milk
11/2cups butter melted
6 eggs unbeaten

Add the butter, milk and eggs to the flour. Mix well and knead to a flat dough. Roll very thin, cut into small shapes and bake at 400° F. Until light brown.

How to Make Sugar Free Cookie Recipes

Having some sugar free cookie recipes in your baking arsenal is very handy when someone enters your life who can't deal with the sugar content in regular cookies. With the advice in this article, you should be able to make the transition to sugar free cookies easily. Let's get started...
  
Replace The Sugar
 
The first thing you need to do with your formula is replace all the sugar in it.
 
To do this, you are going to need some sort of alternative sugar substitute. You will want to use a natural sweetener, not an synthetic sweetener.
 
The question with synthetic sweeteners is that they can often have detrimental supervene on your health, production them a sub-optimal choice for a substitute.
 
I all the time make sure to use 100% natural sweeteners to replace the sugar; I also make sure to use sweeteners that are safe for diabetics.
 
The two main sweeteners that I use are Agave Nectar, and Stevia. I find that I am able to make recipes that are on-par with their sugared counterparts!
 
To use Agave Nectar effectively, you will want to put in 1 cup of Agave to replace 1 cup of sugar (1:1 ratio).
 
For Pure Stevia (that has no filler; make sure you get a good brand!), you will use ¼ of a teaspoon for every cup of sugar.
 
I sometimes like to mix the two together. So if a formula calls for 1 cup of sugar, I will use ½ cup of Agave; and 1/8 of a teaspoon of Stevia. This helps to keep the formula from getting to wet (because agave is a syrup).
 
Do that, and you should be able to make the perfect sugar free cookie recipes.
 
Optional: Replace The Milk
 
A limited bonus tip I'll throw in here for you:
 
If you replace any milk in your formula with Almond Milk, you can make desserts that are perfect for people with food allergies!
 
Be sure to get the unsweetened almond milk; then sweeten it with Agave Nectar, shake it; and add more Agave until it tastes like regular milk.

Cookie Recipes From Italy

Italy is the land of enchantment. The traveler is so engaged with the feeling that he can never exhaust the charms of such cities as Naples and Venice, that he can never tire of the wonders of all the art treasures, and the historic interest of all the cathedrals, that for many days he is utterly unconscious of the food he eats. Then one morning he awakens after a dinner the evening before with friends, and if he is an American he longs for the simple food of his homeland. It was after just such an experience that the author looked about for a salad made of fresh vegetables and a simple "sweet." The Italians eat very little sugar, in comparison with Northern Europeans, English and Americans. One must not expect to find many little cakes.

Cavalucci di Italia (Nut Cakes of Italy)

Cookie Recipes

2 cups flour sifted
1 cup hot water
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup walnuts chopped
1/3 cup candied orange peel chopped
1/8 tsp. each: nutmeg, cinnamon, cloves
½ tsp. anise seed

Cook the sugar and water together until the syrup spins a thread. Remove from the fire and add the nuts, spices and orange peel. Add the flour and knead into a smooth dough. Roll thin, cut into small cakes and bake at 350° F until light brown.

Dolce Ravioli
(Fried Tarts)

1/4 cup water or less
3 tbsp. butter

Sift together:
11/2 cups flour
1/2 tsp. salt

Blend the butter into the flour. Add enough water to make a stiff dough. Roll very thin and cut into small squares. Make tarts with the following filling:

½ lb. cottage cheese
2 egg yolks unbeaten
2 tbsp. sugar
1/4 tsp. vanilla

Mix the ingredients together and rub through a sieve. Place a teaspoon of the mixture in the center of a square of pastry. Place another square on top. Press the edges securely together and fry in hot olive oil until light brown. Drain and sprinkle with sugar.

Pan Dolci (Fruit Bread)

Sift together:
6 cups flour
2 tsp. salt

1 cake compressed yeast
warm water as needed

Break the yeast into one cup of warm water and let stand until it begins to foam. Make a sponge of the flour, yeast and enough warm water to make a thick batter. Beat it until it begins to bubble. Let rise in a warm place for several hours. Then add:

2 cups butter melted
1 cup pistachio nuts
2 cups sugar
1/2 cup citron chopped
1 cup pine nuts 3 tbsp.
Sherry
1 cup Sultana raisins
2 tbsp. orange flower water
1 cup seeded raisins
flour to make a dough
1 cup currants

When all the ingredients are added blend in flour to make a smooth dough. Knead for ten minutes. Let rise to twice the bulk. Shape into loaves and let rise to twice the bulk. Bake at 400° F. for one hour or more. Cut into strips and toast before serving.

Cookie Jar Value

The sight of a lovely old traditional cookie jar is always welcomed. They take you back to a time when you were visiting your Grandma and choosing a cookie was the only decision you had to make. If you have a collection of cookie jars there is bound to be one amongst them that will bring back memories for each of your visitors. Some jars are elaborate and decorative, some novel and some are just traditional and functional. You are bound to have your favorite and the cookie jar value may not be measured just in dollars but in sentimental value too.

Some collectors will specialise in a certain style of cookie jar. Some favour antique jars which may hold a good financial value and others may prefer the novelty ones which are quirky and are often collected just because they appeal to the collector. If you decide that you wish to start collecting cookie jars, whether they are ceramic or metal, novelty or traditional, a cookie jar value guide will help you establish a rough value for your collection. You will also be able to see the kind of money that you will have to pay for pieces that you want to buy.

Cookie Recipes

This makes finding pieces much easier and also helps you with identification of jars that you have found and important information regarding collector's fairs and auctions.

Many cookie companies have produced jars as advertising and merchandising items and some of these are now worth much more than when they were first put onto the market. Oreo, for example have a whole range of jars and some of these are actually quite difficult to find. If you happen to be at a garage sale or a market and notice an Oreo jar, or indeed any other cookie manufacturer jar, it may be worth buying it, if the price is right. If you only have to pay a small amount for the item you should invest there and then. You can always refer to a cookie jar value listing later and see if you have found a real bargain. If not, well, you still have a cookie jar which you will have paid very little for!

Whether they are pretty, ugly, branded or traditional, there is a jar that will bring back fond memories for each and every one of us.
