    Title: Crispy Oatmeal-Raisin Cookies
    Categories: Cookies, Snacks, Desserts, Grains, Fruits
    Yield: 22 Cookies

    1 1/2 c Old-fashion oats: (not quick
    - cooking)
    1/2 c All-purpose flour
    1/2 c Whole wheat flour
    2 ts Ground cinnamon
    1/2 ts Baking soda
    1/4 ts Salt
    1/3 c Butter; room temp
    1/4 c Granulated sugar
    1/2 c Dark brown sugar
    1 lg Egg
    1 ts Vanilla extract
    1/4 c Raisins

    Set the oven @ 350ºF/175ºC. Line baking sheets with
    parchment paper and set aside.

    Combine the oats, all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour,
    cinnamon, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl and whisk
    to mix well. Set aside.

    Combine the butter-flavored spread, granulated sugar, and
    brown sugar in a large mixing bowl and beat at medium
    speed until mixture is fluffy. Beat in the egg and
    vanilla. Add the oat mixture and beat at low speed until
    moistened. Stir in raisins.

    Drop mounds of dough, 2 level tsp each, 2" apart on the
    prepared baking sheets. Bake until bottoms of cookies are
    lightly browned but centers remain soft, 10 to 12 minutes.

    UDD notes that: I like this type of cookie more chewy
    than crisp - so, I pull them from the oven a bit early.

    Cool cookies on baking sheets on wire racks for 2 minutes.
    Remove from baking sheets and cool completely on wire
    racks. The cookies can be covered in an airtight container
    and stored at room temperature up to 2 days

    Title: Bacon Chocolate Chip Cookies
    Categories: Cookies, Chocolate, Pork, Nuts
    Yield: 12 Servings

    3/4 c Butter
    2/3 c Brown sugar; packed
    2/3 c Granulated sugar
    1 ts Hazelnut extract
    1/2 ts Vanilla extract
    1 lg Egg
    2 1/2 c Flour
    1 ts Baking soda
    1 ts Salt
    1 c White chocolate chips
    1 c Dark or semi-sweet chocolate
    - chips
    2 c Bacon crumbles; REAL bacon
    - only - NOT BACOS

    MMMMM--------------------MAPLE CINNAMON GLAZE-------------------------
    2 c Powdered sugar
    1 tb Maple extract
    1 ts Vanilla extract
    1/2 ts Ground cinnamon
    Water to make a thick glaze

    The best flavors of breakfast together in a cookie:
    chocolate chip with generous bits of bacon and a
    bonus (optional) maple glaze.

    Preheat oven to 350øF/175øC.

    Beat together the butter, sugars, flavoring and eggs
    until creamy. In another bowl, sift together the dry
    ingredients. Add the dry ingredients to the butter mix
    and stir together. Dough will be slightly soft. If you
    want a cakier cookie, add another half cup of flour. Add
    in chocolate chips and bacon bits. Stir until well
    integrated. Place dough on a sheet of waxed paper and
    refrigerate at least an hour.

    Remove dough from fridge, pinch off 1 1/2" pieces of
    dough and roll into balls. Set dough balls about 2"
    apart on an ungreased cookie sheet. Flatten dough balls
    slightly with your fingers in the center.

    Bake cookies for about 10 minutes, or until the dough
    starts to turn golden brown. Allow cookies to cool on a
    cooling rack.

    NOTE: It takes about 2 lbs of bacon to make 2 cups of
    bacon bits, just for future reference. Just be sure to
    pat the bacon to remove all the extra grease.

    MAKE THE OPTIONAL GLAZE: Mix all ingredients together
    until smooth and creamy. If lumpy, use a whisk.

    Spread a small amount of the glaze on the top of each
    cookie.

    Yield: 12 servings

    Mr Breakfast would like to thank Holly Martel for this

    Title: Sugar Cookies
    Categories: Cookies, Snacks
    Yield: 24 servings

    2 1/2 c (320 g) A-P flour
    1/2 ts Baking powder
    1/2 ts Kosher salt
    1 c (225 g) unsalted butter;
    - softened
    1/4 c (150 g) granulated sugar
    1 lg Egg; room temp
    1 ts Vanilla extract

    Combine flour, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl,
    and whisk to combine. Set aside.

    In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle
    attachment, cream together butter and granulated sugar
    on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, 2 to 3
    minutes. Add egg and vanilla, and beat on medium speed
    until well combined, scraping the bowl as needed.

    Add flour mixture and beat on low speed just until
    combined. Scrape the bowl and fold a few times to make
    sure everything is well combined. Wrap dough in plastic
    wrap, flatten into a disk, and chill until firm, at
    least 1 hour.

    Set oven @ 350ºF/175ºC.

    Roll out dough 1/4" thick. Use 3' floured cutters to cut
    out cookies, and transfer to two parchment- or silicone
    mat-lined baking sheets, spacing the cookies 1 1/2"
    apart. Reroll scraps as needed, chilling as needed until
    firm before rolling and cutting again. Freeze until very
    firm, about 10 minutes.

    UDD uses Xmas Tree and Santy Pants cookie cutters.

    Bake until golden brown at the edges, 12 to 14 minutes.

    Let cool a few minutes on the baking sheets, then
    transfer to wire racks to cool completely. Cookies will
    keep in an airtight container at room temperature for up
    to 2 weeks, or frozen up to 3 months.
