I made oatmeal raisin cookies, lemon crinkle cookies, and brownies! I made the cookie doughs a few days in advance and froze them. I made the brownies and baked everything this morning. I doubled each of the recipes since it will be ~70 person event. Hoping everyone likes everything! Recipes below:

Lemon Crinkle Cookies: I use this recipe from Sally’s Baking Addiction: https://sallysbakingaddiction.com/lemon-crinkle-cookies/

Brownies: I use THE brownie recipe that blew up a few months (years??) ago (with a few small modifications): https://www.reddit.com/r/Baking/comments/1714o53/comment/k3oly1z/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3

For the brownies, I usually just melt the butter in the microwave instead of browning it. I also use real espresso powder instead of instant, and vanilla bean paste instead of extract. Thank you to the original author of that recipe! I bake these all the time!

Oatmeal Raisin cookies:

This recipe is from my husband’s grandma!

  • 1C butter, softened

  • 1C loosely packed brown sugar

  • 1/2C sugar

  • 2 eggs

  • 1 tsp vanilla

-1 1/2C flour

  • 1 tsp baking soda

  • 1 tsp cinnamon

  • 1/2 tsp salt

  • 3C oatmeal (quick or old fashioned)

  • 1C raisins

Cream butter and sugar, add eggs and vanilla and beat well. Add mixed dry ingredients. Mix well. Stir in oats and raisins. Ungreased cookie sheet. 10-12 minutes at 350°F.

    They look amazing!!! Great job!!

    For christmas, I make some cookie dough every weekend and freeze it, only cooking like 6 for a lil taste.

    Then I have a major baking day to put the platters together and hand them out. Still a lot of work but manageable.

    Also, Sally’s Baking Addiction and Smitten Kitchen are my ***favorite*** recipe sites. Always perfect exactly as written but with notes for easy variations and creativity.

    Holy sugar in those oatmeal raisin cookies! Have you ever added chocolate chips to this and lessened the amount of one of the sugars?
