One Two Three Four Cookies Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour three 9-inch round pans.
• Beat butter and 1 cup of sugar with an electric mixer in a large bowl until light and fluffy. The mixture should be noticeably lighter in color.
• In a separate bowl, beat egg yolks well, then add to butter mixture.
• Sift together flour and baking powder. Add alternately with the milk to the butter-sugar mixture. Beat well. Add vanilla.
• Beat egg whites until stiff but not dry. Add 1 cup sugar to the egg whites. Fold into cake batter.
• Divide evenly into three prepared 9 inch round pans. Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 25 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter two 9-inch baking pans and line the bottom of each with parchment paper. Butter the paper and dust the pans with flour, tapping out the excess.
• Stir baking powder and salt into cake flour.
• In another bowl, beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the four egg yolks one at a time. Add the vanilla to the mixture.
• Add the flour mixture and milk alternately, starting and ending with one third of the flour. Stir just until the flour is incorporated.
• In another bowl, whisk egg whites to soft peaks. Stir one third of the egg whites into the batter, then gently fold in the rest. Pour the batter into the prepared pans and bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 30 to 40 minutes.
• Hint: Whisk the egg whites first in the mixer and put the stiff egg whites on a plate. Then beat the sugar and butter in the same bowl.

Steps:

• Position two racks in the top and bottom thirds of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
• Combine the butter and sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment and beat on medium speed until well incorporated, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the flour and salt and mix on low speed to combine, about 1 minute.
• Put the colored sugars in individual bowls.
• Using a 3/4-ounce cookie scoop, scoop balls of dough and roll them with your hands. (Alternatively scoop 2-tablespoon sized balls.) Roll the balls in your sanding sugar color of choice to coat on all sides, pressing lightly to adhere. Then flatten them into disks about 1/2 inch thick.
• Place the dough rounds on the prepared baking sheets, leaving 1 inch of space between each.
• Bake until set and slightly golden, 22 to 25 minutes. Let cool on the baking sheet.

Steps:

• Bring margarine, sugar, milk and cocoa to boil. Let boil for exactly 1 minute and 30 seconds.
• Remove from heat, stir in vanilla and peanut butter. Then stir in oats.
• Quickly drop by large tablespoon onto wax paper laid on top of newpaper. Let cool, peel from paper and turn over to finish drying.
• Store in closed container.
