Cookies for a Crowd image

This recipe makes 900 plus 2-inch cookies. I would only suggest using this for a very large crowd or a huge bake sale. I got the recipe from a friend a few years ago and made a couple of changes to suit my family. These can be frozen well.

Time 1h5m

Yield 900 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 8

13 lbs flour
9 lbs sugar
8 teaspoons salt
8 teaspoons baking soda
2 teaspoons cream of tartar
8 lbs butter
16 large eggs
16 tablespoons flavoring (I use vanilla, butter & nut by McCormick)

Steps:

  • In a gigantic bowl, combine first 5 ingredients and mix well with hand mixer.
  • Cut in butter, by slices, until mixture resembles cornmeal.
  • Add eggs and flavoring and mix well.
  • Shape approximately 3-4 cups of dough into a long tube. Cover tube with plastic wrap or foil and refrigerate overnight.
  • When ready to bake, slice dough into rounds approximately 1/4-inch thick and place 2-inches apart on lightly greased cookie sheet (or parchment covered cookie sheet).
  • Bake at 325°F for 15-18 minutes. Cool.
  • In the past, I have added chocolate chips, raisins and nuts to the basic mix for a different type of cookie.
