    Big Batch Cookies-Freezer

    Source of Recipe

    Posted by dmvezina @ RecipeCircus


    Here are the recipes for our five favorite cookies.

    * NOTES: These are made for use in a larger mixer -- I have a Bosch and love it -- use it daily, especially for large batches. With the Bosch I do not spend time creaming butter and sugar together. I put everything in the mixer and use the dough hooks to mix it all up. I do start with softened butter (I use butter in nearly every recipe rather than the shortening) so it mixes in easily.

    Couple shortcuts -- I use a potato masher to criss cross my peanut butter cookies -- a neat design and only one step. The 1" scoop is a great timesaver and keeps everything uniform and the kids love using it. They can be scooping while I'm measuring ingredients for the next batch or cleaning up. I usually put the first batch in the oven frozen while the oven is
    preheating. It takes a couple minutes longer, but saves on the heat.

    BIG BATCH COOKIES

    (Made for Bosch mixer -- up to 12 cups flour -- makes up to 10 dozen 1” cookie balls

    I make them in the following order. I can fit one batch of dough balls on two 13x17 baking sheets. They will freeze solid while I am mixing the next type of dough.

    I do them in the following order so I don’t have to wash out my mixer between batches.

    Kansas Sugar Cookies

    2 c butter
    4 c sugar
    4 eggs
    2 c oil
    12 c flour
    4 t soda
    4 t cream of tartar
    4 t vanilla

    Mix all ingredients together
    Scoop in 1” balls
    Flash freeze
    Bag

    Place on greased pan. Thaw while oven preheats or place in warming oven. Flatten with glass dipped in sugar. Bake 10-12 minutes at 350 These make excellent rolled cookies – roll out using powdered sugar instead of flour and they don’t get tough.

    Oatmeal Cookies

    3 c shortening (I use ½ butter)
    4 c brown sugar
    2 c sugar
    4 eggs
    1 c water
    4 t vanilla
    4 c flour
    4 t salt
    2 t soda
    12 c oatmeal

    Mix all ingredients together
    Scoop in 1” balls
    Flash freeze
    Bag

    Place on greased pan. Thaw while oven preheats or place in warming oven. Bake 10-12 minutes at 350

    Chocolate Chip Cookies
    2 c shortening (I normally use all butter for these cookies)
    ½ c butter
    2 c sugar
    2 c brown sugar
    4 eggs
    4 t vanilla
    6 c flour
    2 t salt
    2 t soda
    4 c chocolate chips

    Mix all ingredients together
    Scoop in 1” balls
    Flash freeze
    Bag

    Place on greased pan. Thaw while oven preheats or place in warming oven. Bake 10-12 minutes at 350

    This is a good basic dough to use for a variety of cookies – white chocolate, add nuts or toffee chips, raisin, craisins… or even just plain – my favorite!

    3 c sugar
    2 c brown sugar

    Flash freeze
    Bag

    Place on greased pan. Thaw while oven preheats or place in warming oven. Lightly Press down with potato masher. Bake 10-12 minutes at 350

    4 c brown sugar
    4 eggs
    1 c molasses
