Recently I
received a coupon for a free tub of Country Crock. I was excited because I have loved Country
Crock since I was a little girl. Included
with my coupon was a cookie recipe. The
recipe is called Make It Yours Cookie Recipe.
My favorite part of this recipe is that you have your standard cookie
recipe with an option to add your own touches to it. Since baking is a science and can be messed
up easily, I was happy to see a baking recipe with flexibility. Here is the recipe included with my Country
Crock VoxBox:
1 cup
Country Crock®
¾ cup
granulated sugar
¾ cup firmly
packed light brown sugar
1 large egg
1 large egg
yolk
2 tsp.
vanilla extract
3 cups
all-purpose flour
1 tsp.
baking powder
¾ tsp. salt
¼ tsp.
baking soda
Your choice
of mix-ins (for example, 3 tbsp. unsweetened cocoa powder, 12 oz. semisweet
chocolate chips)
Directions
Preheat oven
to 375°. Mix Country Crock®, granulated
sugar, light brown sugar, egg, egg yolk, and vanilla in large bowl until well
mixed. Stir in flour, baking powder,
salt, and baking soda until blended.
(Dough will be soft and creamy.)
Add your favorite mix-ins until every spoonful of dough has some of the
delicious mix-ins or choose from the other variations.
Drop dough
by rounded tablespoonfuls on ungreased baking sheets 3 inches apart.
Bake 10-12
minutes until edges are lightly golden.
Cool 1 minute on wire rack; remove from sheets and cool completely.
You can find
inspirations and mix-in ideas at CountryCrock.com and share your cookies with
#MakeItYours. There are so many
varieties I want to try. Next I want to
make cookies with chocolate covered almonds and then a cookie cake. The good thing about a flexible recipe like this
is you can add whatever ingredients you like and have. For me, I have some chocolates from a
fundraiser. I chose to add chocolate bars
with crisps to my cookies cut with a large kitchen knife.
I love this
cookie recipe! The cookies are soft and delicious. It is going to be a go-to
recipe for me. I want to mention that
Country Crock now has a simpler recipe for their spreads made with real
ingredients. I chose to try the calcium variety
(they also have original, light, and churn style). It was delicious. The spread is just as good as I remember it. I use this spread everywhere I would use
butter. One of my favorite ways to use
Country Crock is on bread.
I highly
recommend trying County Crock. I also
highly recommend watching this video for making a variety of cookies with kids
and going to CountryCrock.com to
get recipe inspirations.
