Chilled Peach Pie Cookies-Hannah Monson (Brittney’s Friend)

Ingredients:

Oatmeal cookie base:

  • 1 cup butter
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1 Tablespoon plain greek yogurt
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 Tablespoon vanilla
  • 3 1/2 cups flour
  • 1 1/2 cup rolled oats
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder

Peach Frosting:

  • 1/2 cup butter, room temp
  • 4 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 Tablespoon plain greek yogurt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1-2 teaspoon peach juice
  • pinch of salt

For the topping:

  • 2 fresh peaches (or 1 can) thinly sliced and cinnamon

Directions for Cookies:

Preheat oven to 325. Add 1 cup butter, 1 cup white sugar, 1 cup brown sugar to a bowl. Cream for 2-3 minutes. Add 1 Tablespoon plain greek yogurt, 2 eggs, 1 Tablespoon vanilla and mix well until combined. Add 3 1/2 cups flour, 1 1/2 cup rolled oats, 1 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon baking powder. Mix until just combined.

Using a large (1/4 cup) cookie scoop, scoop onto lined sheet. Press flat before baking (dough doesn’t spread much). Bake at 325 for 10-13 minutes. Cookies will look a little doughy when you take them out-this is perfect. Let them cool for 5 minutes, then put in fridge to finish cooling.

Directions for Frosting:

Add 1/2 cup room temp butter to a bowl, beat until smooth for 3-4 minutes. Add 4 cups powdered sugar, 1 Tablespoon plain greek yogurt, 1 teaspoon vanilla, a pinch of salt, and 1-2 teaspoon peach juice, to your taste. Fresh peach juice is best. Frosting should be smooth and easy to spread. Frost cookies and top with a few thin slices of peach. Dust with cinnamon. Let chill for 30 minutes before serving. They are best cold!

Chocolate Chip Cookies – Heather Lee

She said you cannot half the recipe

  • 4 cubes butter
  • 2 1/2 cups sugar
  • 2 cups brown sugar
  • 3 eggs
  • 2 tsp. vanilla
  • 6 cups flour
  • 1 1/2 tsp. baking soda
  • 1 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 6 cups chocolate chips

Bake at 350 for 8-10 minutes

Cream butter and sugar. Add eggs and vanilla. Add dry ingredients. Stir in chocolate chips

Don’t over cook

We did half the recipe and it didn’t work like when Heather makes them so she must be right. I know she has made balls then froze the dough so if you don’t want to make all of them at once you can do that.
