Is there anything more delicious than fresh cookies from the oven? I think not! For me, cookies are the perfect Sunday morning baking project as they are a little treat for the day and some yummies to pack into lunches for the week for my kiddos.
When I saw this recipe for The Complete Cookie over at the Burnbrae Farms Recipe Nest, I just knew that I had to make it because it includes a little of something for everyone…chocolate for the chocolate lover, nuts for the nutty, raisins and the goodness of oats. I even managed to sneak in a little coconut.
And you know when you are making cookies at Christmas time…who can resist an awesome-sauce dash of chocolate drizzle? And these cookies are completely delicious! Moist and chewy…just the way we like ’em!
For the first time ever, I used Burnbrae Farms Omega Plus Liquid Eggs, which contain heart healthy omega-3 polyunsaturates and are an excellent source of protein and essential vitamins…all while having the same taste and baking properties as whole eggs with less fat & cholesterol.
Plus I have been doing a lot of work with my hands lately {like painting my whole main floor} and they really hurt with carpel tunnel, so pouring liquid eggs into a measuring cup was much easier than cracking eggs. And I didn’t have to worry about accidentally dropping an egg shell into the batter and it getting crunched up into the cookie mix by the mixer. ‘Cause yup…that has happened before.
But anyway, back to the liquid eggs…I was impressed with how they performed in baking…just like whole eggs! I would not hesitate at all to use them again in a baking project.

This is a super easy drop cookie recipe to make and it is a wonderful candidate for a Christmas cookie exchange because not only is it a delicious-tasting cookie, but it travels and stores well too.
I think you could also easily add green & red cherries to make it even more festive-looking!
Now let’s get to the recipe, shall we?

DIRECTIONS:

3. Drop by tablespoons onto baking sheets, about 1” (2.5 cm) apart. Bake at 375°F (190°C) 8-10 minutes or until golden brown. Cool on racks. Store in airtight container.
4. To add chocolate drizzle-melt 2/3 cup chocolate melting wafers. Pour melted chocolate into medium size baggie. Cut very small tip of corner of baggie and squeeze chocolate out of tip to drizzle over cooled cookies.
