Old English Cookies Recipes

Steps:

• 1.Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease 2 baking sheets. 2.Mix the flour, sugar, baking soda, walnuts, and cloves together in a large mixing bowl. Beat the egg, applesauce, lemon juice, vanilla, cranberries, lemon zest, and butter together in a separate bowl with an electric hand mixer; pour into the flour mixture and mix well. Drop spoonfuls of the dough 2 inches apart onto the prepared baking sheets. 3.Bake in the preheated oven until the edges are golden, about 10 minutes. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 1 minute before removing to a wire rack to cool completely. Dust with the confectioners' sugar to serve.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F. Cream the butter with both types of sugar in a bowl, then beat in the egg and vanilla. Combine the flour, baking powder and a pinch of salt in another bowl, then sift into the creamed mixture, beating constantly with a wooden spoon. If necessary, soften the mixture with a little milk. Stir in the hazelnuts and chocolate. Place about 15 tablespoons of the mixture, spaced well apart, on an ungreased cookie sheet and bake for about 7-8 minutes. Remove the cookie sheet from the oven and let cool slightly, then remove the cookies with a spatula and let cool on a wire rack. Cook the remaining mixture in the same way.

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 190C/fan170C/gas 5 and line two baking sheets with non-stick baking paper.
• Put 150g softened salted butter, 80g light brown muscovado sugar and 80g granulated sugar into a bowl and beat until creamy.
• Beat in 2 tsp vanilla extract and 1 large egg.
• Sift 225g plain flour, ½ tsp bicarbonate of soda and ¼ tsp salt into the bowl and mix it in with a wooden spoon.
• Add 200g plain chocolate chips or chunks and stir well.
• Use a teaspoon to make small scoops of the mixture, spacing them well apart on the baking trays. This mixture should make about 30 cookies.
• Bake for 8-10 mins until they are light brown on the edges and still slightly soft in the centre if you press them.
• Leave on the tray for a couple of mins to set and then lift onto a cooling rack.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease two cookie sheets.
• Cream the sugar with the shortening and the butter or the margarine. Add the baking powder, eggs, milk and flour. Mix until combined.
• On a lightly floured surface roll out the dough to 1/4 inch thick and cut into desired shapes. Place cookies on the prepared cookie sheets.
• Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) until lightly browned.
