Make my easy cookie busy mom method by Chris Rawstern

Had in the early 1970s when I was very young and with small children to maintain, I a few cookie recipes that I'd do very often because they were simple recipes with ingredients I usually at hand had. Cookies are a great snack, Don; t need to pick up utensils and food and can be done next for a party. However the to well at all, they are just not my favorite things make, because they either individually on put the baking sheet, roll-out and cut (which a mess on the counter and more cleanup) or the often extra step with chill-the dough before the work must be made. I like the immediacy. I want to mix up a recipe to bake it, clean and be carried out.

One morning I have a batch of these cookies, finally popped the last pan into the oven and set the timer. Itching outside for a bit and see what the children acts, I went out and got distracted. By the time that I don't forget the cookies in the oven, they had burned and shrunk up on tiny little black hockey pucks - not even the dogs have an interest in them! Well worth it not distract when baking. This was the last straw. I had to be a better way to think.

I came up with a brilliant idea, I use my busy-mom-one method call I until today. Instead of taking the time to all individual cookies from batches would I work with separate cooking (and time distracted), the cookie dough directly onto a greased baking sheet roll it evenly to the edges and bake it as a large cookie. It recommends a baking tray, the three open sides, has to use, because it is easier to maneuver the rolling pin and rolled the cookie evenly. Please also note that may require a little more flour in the dough to the him lift and allow shapes in a rough rectangle to the role. Also a little extra flour over the surface helps roll, to the rolling pin from glue to hold. Try not to add more flour than absolutely necessary, or the cookies will come out harder and denser.

It takes more a few minutes in the oven with a large cookie, but it is perfect. Just watch be golden for the edges and the Center is set. With these cookies, I'm doing even a simple icing, which is only 1 1/2 cups sugar of confectioners, a pinch of salt, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla and enough water or milk, a relatively thick consistency (very slowly from the spoon fall) to make. This distributes the hot cookie straight from the oven. The hot cookie warms the icing, make it easy melt and I have spread with the back of the same spoon to mix the icing. I'm all for less cleanup! As soon as the cookie cools that hardens and dries icing and I cut just the large cookie in small bar or square shapes, and voila, cookies in half the time. Two of my favorite recipes for this method were hermits and easy vanilla cookies. If you are a mother, you try this method with any simple cookie dough. The hermit cookies had raisins in them, but the thickness of the dough was not less than the thickness of the raisins, so it still good works.
