This famous cookie was selected among more than 34,000 recipes in the Taste of Home recipe contest.  When the winner found out her recipe would be shared in the Best of the County Cookies cookbook, she did not share the recipe.  The picture of the winning cookies was on the cover of the cookbook, but cookbook owners soon found out the featured recipe was kept a secret. 


On a trip a few years ago, we toured the Taste of Home test kitchen in Wisconsin. This was the recipe they made in their test kitchen when we were there.  




We did receive the secret recipe for The Cookie of All Cookies, it was not in the cookbook.  They included the recipe on an extra recipe card.

INGREDIENTS FOR THE COOKIE OF ALL COOKIES

HOW TO MAKE THE COOKIE OF ALL COOKIES

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees
2. Cream the butter and the sugar.
3. Beat in eggs and vanilla
4. Combine flour, baking soda and salt.
5. Gradually add the creamed mixture.
6. Stir in chocolate chips and toffee bits.
7. Drop by heaping tablespoons 2 inches apart onto greased baking sheets.
8. Bake at 350 for 8-10  minutes.

NOTES ON THE COOKIE OF ALL COOKIES

• I added more chocolate chips because we do not add chopped pecans
• Use  1 1/2 cups chocolate chips and 1 cups of toffee bits if you add the chopped pecans
• Pack down the brown sugar
• Original recipe suggest oven temperature set to 375, and you will have to adjust to your own oven.

This was my first time trying this chili, it is so hearty! You couldn't help but have seconds. I like adding the cauliflower to this soup.  It was a great addition! 


Kids are keeping us pretty busy with basketball games and practices.  I guess it gives us something to do during the winter, before it starts to stay lighter later in the evening.  Then we know baseball and softball is closer. 


 Preparing this Sweet Potato Chipotle Chili was so easy in the Instant Pot.  I cooked it on Manual for 15 minutes. It tasted so good, like it had been cooking on the stove top all day! 


 Make sure to add your favorite topping on this soup. I added cilantro, cheese, and tortilla strips.
