At cakecentral.com I got the lead on some different rolled cookie recipes. I have 2 faithful recipes, cream cheese cookies & nutmeg cookies, that are popular, but want to have more options. I have my box of goodies to be getting ready to ship this week for Operation Baking Gals so figure this is a good time to try new recipes. Won’t have any problem finding something to do with all the cookies.

I have a gingerbread recipe that I’ve used & it makes alright cookies. Frankly, I’m not that crazy about them; doesn’t have enough taste to them to suit me. Hopefully this gingerbread cookie recipe will be more tantilizing. The chocolate chip cookie dough will hopefully satisfy the chocaholic in me. The pumpkin spice cookies should have a nice fall taste to them. We shall see.

Mix the chocolate chip recipe first & put it in the refrigerator to cool. It uses mini chocolate chips so hopefully it won’t be very hard to work the dough. In the meantime, I mix up the pumpkin pie spice dough & set it the refrigerator. The dough doesn’t seem very sticky so it shouldn’t take long for it to be ready to roll.

The chocolate chip dough was a bit of a pain to roll out. It didn’t want to stick together. Not bad tasting just not sure I like it. Will see what other people think of it before I make a decision on it. Will make a note on it though & if I make it again, I’ll use a bit less flour.

Aren't these sweet looking? The chocolate chips made the cookies "interesting" to roll out & cut.

The gingerbread is another matter. It rolls beautifully. The taste of the cookies is definitely an improvement over the recipe I have been using. This recipe is a keeper. I look forward to making many more cookies using this particular recipe.

Not quite sure about the pumpkin pie spice cookies. Suspect that like most cookies of that type, it’ll have a stronger spice taste after a day or two. Just like the gingerbread, it rolled out nicely which is a plus in its favor. The verdict is out on whether I’ll reuse it.
