Best High Octane Cookies Recipes

CATHEDRAL COOKIES

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan set over very low heat, melt the butter and chocolate. Remove from the heat and cool completely, 5 to 10 minutes. Add the egg and mix well. Add the marshmallows and mix until completely incorporated, then add the nuts and mix, making sure everything is coated in chocolate.
• Spoon about 1/2 cup of the mixture onto a sheet of parchment paper, and use the paper to roll into a log. Repeat for the remaining mixture, about 4 logs total.
• Wrap the each log in foil and freeze until firm, at least 1 hour or up to overnight.
• When ready to eat, cut into 6 pieces while still frozen. Place the cookies on a serving dish to thaw for 15 to 20 minutes before serving.

PEACHES AND CREAM OATMEAL COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F with the racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven.
• In a small bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Slowly add egg and continue mixing. Slowly add flour mixture, oats, peaches, walnuts, and white chocolate chips. Mix until combined.
• Line 2 sheet trays with parchment. With wet hands make 20 balls from the dough placing evenly among sheet trays. Press down on cookie dough with palm of your hand to make a flat circle.
• Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until golden and still a bit tender in the center. Remove from oven and let sit on sheet trays 1 minute. Remove to cooling racks to cool completely.

LACTATION COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment.
• Pulse the oats in a food processor until roughly ground. Add the flour, Brewer's yeast, flaxseeds, baking powder, cinnamon and salt. Pulse until combined.
• Whisk together the banana, egg, oil and vanilla in a large bowl until smooth. Add the brown and granulated sugars and stir to combine. Fold in the flour mixture until just combined. Add the carrots and cherries and stir until just combined.
• Use a 1/4-cup ice cream scoop or large spoons to scoop out 12 mounds of batter onto the prepared baking sheets, about 1 1/2-inches apart. Bake, rotating halfway through, until the cookies start to brown on top, 15 to 16 minutes. Eat warm or at room temperature. The cookies can be stored at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 5 days.

SWEET 'N' SALTY OATMEAL COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
• Mix together the oats, coconut and cashews in a large bowl, then drizzle with the honey. Mix to combine, then spread on one of the prepared cookie sheets.
• Toast the mixture in the oven until the coconut begins to brown and the mixture becomes fragrant, about 8 minutes. Allow to cool about 10 minutes.
• Combine the flour, baking soda, salt and cinnamon in a medium bowl, then whisk in the toasted oat mixture. Set aside.
• Cream the butter, sugars and vanilla together in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment until sandy and smooth. Beat in the egg, then scrape the bowl and beater. Add the flour mixture and white chocolate chips and blend on low speed to combine. Scoop 2-tablespoon portions of dough on 2 lined cookie sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Flatten the cookies just slightly, then sprinkle each cookie with a touch of coarse salt. Bake until the edges are golden and the cookies are puffed, 12 to 15 minutes. Cool slightly on the baking sheets, then enjoy!
