Basic Icebox Sugar Cookies

Recipe By : Cooking Light '97
Serving Size : 24 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Cookies New Recipes

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/8 teaspoon salt
4 tablespoons stick margarine -- softened
2/3 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 large egg white
Cooking spray

1. Combine the first 3 ingredients in a bowl, and set aside. Beat margarine
at medium speed of a mixer until light and fluffy. Gradually add sugar,
beating at medium speed of mixer until well-blended. Add vanilla and egg
white, and beat well. Add flour mixture, and stir until well-blended. Turn
dough out onto wax paper, and shape into a 6-inch log. Wrap log in wax
paper, and freeze for 3 hours or until very firm.
2. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
3. Cut log into 24 (1/4-inch) slices, and place slices 1 inch apart on a
baking sheet coated with cooking spray. Bake at 350 degrees for 8 to 10
minutes. Remove from pan, and cool on wire racks. Yield: 2 dozen
(serving size: 1 cookie).

NOTE: Too much flour will make these cookies bake up dry and
crumbly, so be sure you lightly stir flour, then smooth it into a measuring
cup and level off with a knife. If dough is too soft to shape into designs,
simple chill until slightly firm. Dough may be frozen up to a month, but be
sure to double wrap for extra protection. To make it simple to have even
slices, first cut dough into 2 equal sections, then 4 sections and 8 sections.
Slice each section into 3 slices. It works!

Icebox Sugar Cookies

Recipe By :Sarah Phillips -- THE HEALTHY OVEN BAKING BOOK
Serving Size : 48 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Cookies Lowfat


Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
Nonstick canola oil spray
1 1/2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour -- spoon & level
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 cup sugar
6 tablespoons unsalted butter -- room temp (3/4 stick)
1 large egg
1 tablespoon light corn syrup
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons sugar for dipping
For Spicy Cinnamon Cookies
1 teaspoon cinnamon -- optional
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon -- optional
1/8 teaspoon ground cloves -- optional

1. In a large bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined. Set aside.
2. In another large bowl, using a handheld electric mixer set at medium speed, scraping down the sides of the bowl often with a rubber spatula to force the mixture into the blades, beat the 1 cup of sugar and the butter until the mixture resembles coarse bread crumbs, about 1-1/2 minutes. Add the egg, corn syrup, and vanilla and beat until smooth. Using a spoon, gradually stir in the flour mixture. Transfer the dough to a sheet of waxed paper and form it into a log about 12 inches long and 1 inch in diameter. Wrap the log of dough in the waxed paper and refrigerate until well chilled, at least 2 hours or overnight.
3. Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 375 F. Lightly spray 2 nonstick cookie sheets (preferably insulated) with oil (or use baker's parchment).
4. Unwrap the chilled dough. Place the 2 tablespoons of sugar in a small bowl. Using a thin, sharp knife, cut the dough crosswise into 1/4-inch-thick rounds. Dip each round in the sugar, and place the cookies, sugar side up, 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
5. One sheet at a time, bake the cookies until lightly browned around the edges, 10 to 12 minutes. The centers may seem slightly underdone, but they will firm when cooled. Cool the cookies in the pan for 1 minute, then transfer to a wire cake rack to cool completely.
Spicy Cinnamon Cookies: Add 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon to the dry ingredients. Stir 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon and 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves into the 2 tablespoons of sugar for dipping.

NOTES : These cookies were wonderful. They had the same "mouth feel" as regular sugar cookies. I made the recipe this afternoon and they're all gone. They didn't even have time to cool off. Next time I will reduce the sugar by 1/4 cup. The cookies were sweet and I'd like them to be a little less so (personal preference). I didn't dip them in sugar before baking. I used nonstick "Echo Baker's Secret" pans. On the first pan I sprayed Pam so the cookies wouldn't stick - they didn't. On the second pan I used parchment paper. I prefer the parchment paper, there is less mess and it works beautifully. I baked the cookies for 7 minutes. I think you would need to bake them for 10 minutes on an insulated pan. This is an easy recipe and I will be making them again soon.
Enjoy,
Jackie in Baton Rouge, LA

l box angel food cake mix
2 cups unsweetened coconut
1/2 cup water
1 tsp flavoring, almond or lemon

Preheat oven to 350F. Mix together with spoon. Dough will be fairly solid. Spray cookie sheet with nonstick spray. Drop by heaping teaspoonfuls. Bake for approx.10 minutes, until edges are barely turning color. Cookies will still look very white. Cool on rack. Do not overcook, they will be dried out if you do. Five of these cookes count as 3 points on WW 123 plan.

1 3/4 cups all purpose flour
1 1/4 cups miniature chocolate chips
1/2 cup cocoa powder
1 tablespoon instant coffee granules
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
2 egg whites
1 tablespoon vanilla

Preheat oven to 350. I line my cookie sheets with Silpats. If you don't have those, probably use aluminum foil sprayed with Pam.

In a food processor, combine 1/4 cup chocoate chips, the cocoa, coffee powder, baking soda and salt. Process until well combined and the chocolate chips are ground. Transfer to a mixing bowl. In the same processor, combine the sugar, eggs, eg whites and vanilla. Process for 1 minute. Add to dry ingredients, then add chocolate chips. Mix to combine.

Spoon 1/4 of the batter into a rope 14 inches long and about 1 1/2 inches wide. Repeat, making 2 rows on 2 baking sheets for a total of 4. Bake until firm, about 15 minutes. Cool, reduce oven temperatre to 300.

Place baked logs on cutting board. With serrated knofe, cut into 1/2 inch slices, making 80 biscotti. Place slices upright on baking sheets, leaving space between each slice. Bake until sides feel dry to the touch, 20-25 minutes. Cool completely on wire rack. Store in airtight container.

73 calories in 2 biscotti, 0.5 g fiber, 2.0 g fat - 1.5 points by my calculations.

Double Chocolate Hazelnut Biscotti - 1 Point

Recipe By :"123 Success Recipe Collection" by Weight Watchers Magazine
Serving Size : 40 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Cookies Lowfat


Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
3/4 cup hazelnuts -- chopped
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup mini semisweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup unsweetened Dutch-process cocoa powder
1 tablespoon instant espresso or coffee powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
2 egg whites
1 tablespoon vanilla extract

1. Preheat oven to 350. Place the hazelnuts on a baking sheet; bake until light brown, about 8 minutes. Let cool. Line 2 large baking sheets with foil and spray the foil and spray the foil with nonstick cooking spray. Adjust the oven racks to divide the oven into thirds.

2. In a food processor, combine 2 tablespoons of the hazelnuts, the flour, 2 tablespoons of the chocolate chips, the cocoa, espresso powder, baking soda and salt. Process until the nuts are finely ground; transfer the dry ingredients to a large bowl. In the same food processor ( no need to clean), combine the sugar, eggs, egg whites and vanilla until slightly thickened, about 2 minutes. Add to the dry ingredients. Stir in the remaining hazelnuts and chocolate chips.

3. Spoon one-fourth of the batter (about 3/4 cup) into a long rope, about 14" long and 1-1/2" wide, on one side of the baking sheet; repeat with the remaining batter, making 2 ropes on each baking sheet, with space in between. Bake, reversing baking sheets once, until firm, about 15 minutes; cool 10 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 300.

4. Place the logs on a cutting board. Cut with a serrated knife on the diagonal into 1/2" thick slices, making 80 biscotti. Place the slices upright on the baking sheets, 1" apart. Bake until the cut sides feel dry to the touch, 20-25 minutes. Cool completely on wire racks. Store in an airtight container.

These cookies are excellent (and I don't usually like biscotti). Since I only have a small food processor, I used my Kitchen Aid mixer For step 2 (after grinding the nuts with only 1/4 cup of the flour and all of the cocoa, coffee, baking soda, salt, and sugar in the small processor) --Jane

Maple-Ginger Cookies (Gingerbread Men) - 2 Points

Recipe By :Shape Cooks Mag.-Winter '97, Mani Niall
Serving Size : 30 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Cookies

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons canola oil -- or veg. oil
1/2 cup maple syrup
1/2 cup Prune Butter -- (see below)
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 cup sugar
3 cups whole wheat flour -- pastry
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon
2 teaspoons ginger
1/4 teaspoon cloves
1 teaspoon baking soda
*****For Prune Butter****
1/2 cup prunes, pitted, Roundy's or Dole
1/8 cup water -- (2 tbsp. + 2 tsp.)
may need to add 1 more tsp. if to thick
Parchment paper or nonstick cooking spray
currants or raisins for decorating

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
2. Cream together butter, oil, maple syrup, Prune Butter and vanilla. Beat
in sugar.
3. Sift together flour, salt, spices and baking soda. Add flour mixture to
creamed mixture; stir with a wooden spoon to form a stiff dough.
4. To prepare cookie sheets, line with parchment paper or coat with
cooking spray.
5. Using moistened hands, form dough into 1 1/2-inch balls. Place the
balls about 2 inches apart on the sheets. Using the bottom of a flat, wide
glass dipped in cold water, press the dough to form cookies about 2 1/2
inches wide and 1/4 inch thick, or roll out dough and cut out gingermen.
6. Press currants or raisins into dough, to form facial features. Bake
10-12 minutes or until cookies spring back lightly when pressed in the
center. DO NOT OVERBAKE!
PRUNE BUTTER: Makes about 2 cups - 2 cups (9 ounces) pitted prunes and 2/3
cup boiling water. In a food processor fitted with a metal blade, or in a
blender, chop prunes. With processor running, pour water through feed
tube. Continue running appliance until mixture is smooth, about 2-3
minutes. Stop occasionally and scrape down the sides. A few small chunks
of prune will be left unpureed. The mixture will keep, refrigerated, for
up to 2 months.
Measure prune butter in a metal measuring cup, leveling off the top. (It's
too loose to measure accurately in a glass liquid measuring cup.) to make
only as much as you need for a specific recipe, follow the proportions of
3 parts pitted prunes to 1 part hot water. The amount of pitted prunes
used will yield the equivalent amount of puree. For example, if you need 1
cup of Prune Butter, use 1 cup of Prunes pureed with 1/3 cup water.
To reduce fat in other recipes, you can substitute Prune Butter for part
of the regular butter. If a recipe calls for 1 cup of butter, for example,
substitute 1/2 cup of butter and 1/4 cup Prune Butter.

* This is a cookie recipe of Mani Niall. The secret fat replacement
ingredient in some of his holiday cookie recipes is prune butter, a simple
puree of prunes and hot water. He states,"Never overmix and remember that
you can almost underbake a low-fat cookie and it will benefit."

NOTES : Folks on the CL Bulletin Board recommend rolling the dough into balls, flattening it slightly and baking on a Silpat. This batter also makes very good brownies according to the same people.
From CL article: " ...If a recipe simply calls for cocoa, use natural cocoa. Because Dutch Process cocoa is more alkaline, it may alter the chemistry in a recipe, reacting differently than natural cocoa with baking soda or baking powder. In recipes with no leaveners, natural and Dutch-process cocoa are interchangeable."
