The Cookie Jar - Sandlake Cookies

This week’s “Cookie Jar” recipe is another good “Holiday Baking” recipe. It is a fun twist on your traditional chocolate chip cookie with the addition of cinnamon, ginger and craisinets - yum! The dough also needs to be refrigerated so you can make the dough up ahead of time. It’s also a great one for cookie plates or cookie exchange because it makes a lot.

I first tasted these cookies when hubby Jim and I stayed at The Sandlake Country Inn, a quaint bed and breakfast near Pacific City,Oregon -close to the beautiful Oregon Coast. Not only did they serve us a yummy breakfast right in our room we were greeted by a jar of these delicious cookies upon check in. They even gave you a little mini -cookbook of their favorite recipes when you checked out including the recipe for Sandlake Cookies!

2 cups butter (yes 2 cups!)

3 cups brown sugar

2 eggs

4 cups flour

2 tsp. soda

1 Tbsp. cinnamon

2 tsp. ginger

1 tsp. salt

2 tsp. vanilla

2 cups nuts (I don’t like nuts in my cookies so leave them out)

2 cups chocolate chips

1 cup craisinets

Cream sugar and butter. Add eggs and vanilla. Mix in dry ingredients. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate. Roll walnut size balls of dough in powdered sugar. Bake at 375 for 10 minutes.

These sound buttery good! Thanks for sharing…

I made these yesterday, and we loved them! My husband wanted me to make them with White chocolate chips, and I did, and they were sooo yummy! (I still want to try them with regular chips, too!)

My number one priority
has been and will always be
my family.
But I also feel strongly
that it is possible
for women to incorporate
all their interests,
goals and ambitions
into a balanced life.
I love working with women and helping to inspire them to achieve their goals and dreams while still maintaining motherhood and family as
their number one priority.
