Status: offline 		I'm looking for new cookie recipes, that ship well.     I have my same ol, same ol, but I thought something new and exciting would be nice, since I have the time this year to bake!

I am going blind searching online sites, so trying this approach :)

Biscotti.

What a fantastic idea! (Says the amateur chef, keen baking fan and espresso addict).

I shall look into this - any recipes you swear by?*

*and by "swear by" I don't mean "Oh fuck these fucking biscotti are fucking fucked a-fucking-GAIN!" ;)

You might try allrecipes.com and when you get to the cookie part.
It has a search bar, try typing in shipping or something like that.
 
I have found that most cookies ship well as long as they don't have seperate parts.
 
Good luck.
 
PS the site is a free one to join.

Status: offline 		I think peanut butter blossoms would ship okay...the ones with the hershey's kisses in them.  As they are cooling, I push the chocolate down a couple of times so it melts into the cookie, and it doesn't fall off when you bite into it. 

Actually, most cookies ship well, it's in the packaging that you need to watch.  Believe it or not, unbuttered popcorn is one of the best ways to ship.....when the package gets to where it needs to go, toss it outside for the birds.  Wrap the cookies in plastic bags for freshness.  I've laid them flat with pieces of cardboard between them, and they've shipped okay.  The crispy cookies are the ones that take the most care since they are pretty brittle, but just pack the box totally full with the popcorn to take up ALL the vacant space inside the box.

For those that like their cookies moist and soft, substitute applesauce (plain, not cinnamon!) for the butter, margarine or oil.  Measure for measure.....this works great for chocolate chip and oatmeal cookies!

Status: offline 		No Bake Chocolate Oatmeal Cookies
(these look ugly, like little cowpies, but they are very good)

2 c. sugar
1/2 c. milk
1/2 c. cocoa powder
pinch salt
1/2 c. butter
1 c. peanut butter
1 tsp vanilla
2 c. quick cooking oatmeal (NOT regular or instant oatmeal)
1 c. coconut
Jelly beans- optional

In a large saucepan, combine sugar, milk, cocoa, salt, and butter and mix well. Bring to a boil and cover saucepan for 30 seconds to allow steam to wash sugar crystals down sides of pan. Stir mixture and bring it to a boil that can't be stirred down, for 1 min. Then, remove from heat and stir in peanut butter and vanilla until smooth. Add oatmeal and coconut, and stir well. Do not use regulat or instant oatmeal. Quick cooking oatmeal is essential to the success of this recipe.

Let the mixture stand for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally to let the oatmeal absorb some of the liquid.

Drop mixture by spoonfuls onto waxed paper. (You can press 2 jelly beans into the top of each cookie at this point, if you want). Cool completely.

Status: offline 		Mom made tons of fudge and apple cake this year.  I am up to my ears with the creations.

She even sent  some of the different fudges with me to Austin.  Bo had a sampling and I think he is taking some to work later.

I would of send some goodies to CS, but he is at his sister's this week.

When I was younger, I did over several dozen chocolate chip cookies for my brother who was stationed at Fort Sill.  The entire company, even the drill sergeants got some.

My famous biscotti come out of Maida Heatter's Great Cookie book. Milk chocolate biscotti. Beyond that I also do a toffee mandelbrot with Heath bar pieces and mini chocolate chips. They look like biscotti but have butter in them. Don't remember where I found that one.

Status: offline 		RF, this one has a 7 oz Symphony chocolate bar ground up. It makes a soft batter that has to be wrapped in saran wrap for 2 hours to firm up enough to put it on a cookie sheet for baking. I can get the recipe if you want.

Status: offline 		Milk Chocolate Biscotti

7 oz almonds, toasted at 350 for 12 to 15 minutes, shaking pan twice during.

1 Symphony Bar

1 3/4 c flour
1 t baking soda
1/8 t salt
1/3 c Dutch cocoa
1 c sugar

4 eggs
1 t vanilla

Toast almonds and allow to cool.

Mix dry ingredients, in food processor grind up Symphony bar with 1 cup of dry ingredients until fine. Return to dry ingredients.
Mix eggs and vanilla together, add to dry ingredients. If you have a heavy duty stand mixer with metal gears you can use it otherwise mix with a wooden spatula (it takes a while) (plastic gearing will break)

Lay out two long pieces of saran wrap, about 20" each. Put half of dough down center of each. Bring sides together folding over several times, start patting it out until it's a long straight line. Place on pan and freeze minimum of 2 hours.

Unwrap onto parchment paper on cookie sheets. Put racks in oven and 1/3rd and 2/3rd positions. Bake at 300 for 30 minutes, then switch pans top to bottom and front to back so they bake evenly. Cook another 30 minutes.

Reduce heat to 275. Slice cookies about 1/2 inch thick, return to sheets after removing parchment paper. Bake another 20 minutes, then reverse sheets back to front, top to bottom, cook another 20.

Many thanks for the recipe it's greatly appreciated.

Sadly, I have absolutely no idea what a Symphony bar is!

Any Pan-Atlantic types care to offer a translation?

A Symphony bar is a specific kind of chocolate bar which is made by Hershey's.  They  are great for all kinds of various things.  I tend to use them for chocolate covered pretzels every once in a blue moon.

Thanks, but what I was after (since it doesn't actually say what it's like) was for someone who'd had one, and knew UK confectionery, to say "it's like an X bar, only without the <whatever>" or similar Although, thinking about it, that was probably a tall order.

But thanks anyway - I'm going to give the other recipe a whirl this side of Christmas and see what happens.
