½ teaspoon baking soda

½ teaspoon salt
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 ½ cups Reese's Pieces Candy

Note: This dough requires chilling.

Place melted butter in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle

attachment (or a large bowl if using a hand mixer).

Add granulated and brown sugars and mix on low speed until the mixture is

smooth.

Mix in egg and vanilla extract and mix on medium speed until combined. 

Mix in baking soda and salt, then slowly mix in flour and mix just until the batter

is smooth and comes together. Be sure to scrape the sides of the bowl during

mixing. Slowly mix in Reese's Pieces.

Cake Batter Oreo
Cookies
Recipe donated by Hannah Hopfensperger

ingredients
1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour (spoon & leveled)
1 ¼ cups yellow or vanilla boxed cake mix (I typically use vanilla cake mix)
½ teaspoon baking soda
¾ cup unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
½ cup  granulated sugar
½ cup (packed light brown sugar
1 egg, at room temperature

1 ½ teaspoons pure vanilla extract

⅔ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
½ cup sprinkles
10 Oreos, crushed into pieces (any flavor you like)

instructions
In a large bowl, sift together flour, cake mix, and baking soda. Set aside.

Using a hand mixer, cream the softened butter and both sugars together on medium speed until smooth. Add the egg and mix

well, about 1 minute. Add the vanilla and beat on high until combined. Add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients and mix on low-

medium speed until just combined. Add the chocolate chips, sprinkles, and crushed Oreos. Mix on low until the add-ins are evenly

disbursed.

Cover tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate dough for at least 2 hours, or up to 3 days. If you chill longer than 2 hours, make sure

you roll the cookie dough into balls after the 2 hour mark. Place dough balls on a plate, cover tightly, and store in the refrigerator

until ready to bake.

Once chilled, preheat oven to 350°F (177°C). Line two large cookie sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.

Scoop rounded balls of the cold dough onto an ungreased baking sheet. Use about 2 Tablespoons of cookie dough per cookie.

Shape your cookie dough balls to be “taller” than they are wide. Press a few chocolate chips or crushed Oreo pieces into the tops

of the cookie dough balls, if desired. That makes a pretty cookie. Make sure to keep dough chilled when working in batches.

Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes until edges are slightly browned. The centers will still appear very soft, but the cookies will set as

they cool. You may also press a few more chips into the tops of the cookies at this point (the chips will melt down and stick from

the warm cookies).

Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 4 minutes and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

 Magnolia Table:
Chocolate Chips
Cookies
Recipe donated by Morgan Evans

ingredients
2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 heaping teaspoon baking soda

½ teaspoon sea salt

8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter, at room temperature

2 cups packed light brown sugar

2 large eggs

1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract

1 ½ cups semisweet chocolate chips

instructions
Arrange a rack in the center of the oven and heat to 350°F. Line a baking

sheet with parchment paper.

Place the flour, baking soda, and salt together in a medium bowl; set aside.

Place the butter and sugar In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment.

(Alternatively, use an electric hand mixer and large bowl.) Beat on medium-

high speed until light and fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the eggs and beat until

blended. Add the vanilla and beat until blended.

Turn the mixer off and add the flour mixture. Mix on medium speed just until the

flour is mixed in, then turn the mixer to high speed for a few seconds to pull the

dough together; it will be chunky. Add the chocolate chips and beat on high

speed to thoroughly and quickly mix in the chips, about 5 seconds.

Drop the dough by large spoonfuls onto the prepared baking sheet; don’t

flatten them. Bake until lightly browned on top, 10 to 11 minutes. Cool on the

pan on a rack for 1 minute, then transfer the cookies to the rack to cool

completely. Repeat with the remaining dough.

 Red Velvet Cookies
Recipe donated by Madison Harper

ingredients
¾ cup unsalted butter, room temperature
4 ounces cream cheese, room temperature1

cup white sugar

1 cup packed dark brown sugar

1 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon kosher salt

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

1 large egg

1 large egg yolk

1 tablespoon red food coloring, preferably McCormick brand

2 ¾ cups all-purpose flour

¼ cup natural cocoa powder (not Dutch process)
2 cups white chocolate baking chips, divided

instructions
Preheat the oven to 350 F. 

Line two baking sheets with a silicon baking mat or parchment paper.

Place the butter, cream cheese, both sugars, baking soda, salt, and vanilla

extract in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. Mix on

medium speed until the mixture is creamy, uniform in color, and clings to the

side of the bowl, about 1 to 2 minutes.

Add the egg and egg yolk: Scrape down the sides of the bowl. Mix to

incorporate on medium speed. Repeat with the egg yolk, and then the red

food coloring, mixing on slow speed to avoid splattering the red food coloring.

Add the flour and cocoa powder: Mix on low

Add the white chips: Add 1 1/2 cups of the baking chips to the dough, reserving

1/2 cup of chips for topping the cookies.

Shape the cookies: roll out 1-inch balls (heaping tablespoons) of dough,

placing them on the prepared baking sheet.

Bake the cookies, one baking sheet at a time, for 11 to 13 minutes or until the

edges of the cookie are dry and set. The cookies will look a bit puffy and

plump.

While the cookies are still warm, press several white chips into the top of the

cookies while they are still hot and puffy. Let the cookies cool on the baking

sheet for 5 minutes before transferring the cookies to a wire cooling rack.

 S'mores Cookies
Recipe donated by Rachel Brown

ingredients
11 Tablespoons unsalted butter , softened

1 cup brown sugar , packed

½ cup granulated sugar

2 large eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla

1 teaspoon baking soda

½ teaspoon sea salt

optional 1 teaspoon cinnamon

2 ½ cups flour
1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

1 cup mini marshmallows

3 regular sized Hershey’s bars , broken into pieces

1-2 packages graham crackers , broken into squares

instructions
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, sea salt and

cinnamon to combine. Set aside.

In the bowl of an electric mixer, cream butter with white and brown sugar until

light and fluffy. Add the eggs and vanilla and mix until combined.

Add the flour mixture to the butter mixer and combine on low speed.

Fold in the chocolate chips and marshmallows. Chill dough in refrigerator for 1

hour to overnight.

Line baking pans with parchment paper.

Lay out graham crackers side by side on the pans as close as possible (they

should be touching). You may have to add or remove graham crackers

according to how much dough you have. If you want your cookies thicker you

will use more dough and less graham crackers.

Place tablespoons of dough on graham crackers about 1 – 1 ½ inches apart. I

averaged about 1 1/2 tablespoons of dough per graham cracker square. Press

down slightly with fingertips.

Bake for 5 minutes then remove from oven to press Hershey’s bar pieces on to

the top. You can place as many pieces or as little as you want depending how

much chocolate flavor you want.

Bake for an additional 5 – 7 minutes or more if your cookies are thicker. They

will be done when the edges begin to turn golden brown. Remove to a wire

rack to cool. For clean cutting make sure cookies are completely cool and cut

with a sharp knife.

 Banana Oatmeal
Chocolate Chip
Cookies
Recipe donated by Ximena Perez

ingredients
1 cup quick oats — I recommend quick oats over rolled oats, as the rolled oats

will have a much firmer texture that is harder to chew

¾ cup whole wheat pastry flour — or substitute white whole wheat flour or

all-purpose flour

1 ½ teaspoons baking powder — I recommend aluminum free

½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon kosher salt
1 large very ripe banana — enough to yield ½ cup mashed
2 tablespoons virgin coconut oil — at room temperature (not melted) or

unsalted butter

1 large egg — at room temperature

¼ cup plus 2 tablespoons light brown sugar

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

¾ cup dark chocolate chips

instructions
Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

In a medium mixing bowl, stir together the oats, whole wheat pastry flour,

baking powder, cinnamon, and salt until combined. Set aside.

In a large mixing bowl or the bowl of a standing mixer fitted with the paddle

attachment, mash the banana (I use the mixer to do this), checking to make

sure you have 1/2 cup. Add the coconut oil (or butter), egg, brown sugar, and

vanilla extract and beat on medium high until very well combined, at least 3

minutes, stopping to scrape down the bowl as needed. The batter will be a

little bit chunky and wet.

Add dry ingredients, mix on low speed. Mix in the chocolate chips. The batter

will be wet, somewhat loose, and sticky.

With a large cookie scoop or a measuring cup, portion the dough in 1/4-cup

amounts and drop them on the baking sheet. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to

allow the dough to firm up (the cookies will spread and not set properly if

baked immediately), or cover the cookie sheet with plastic wrap and

refrigerate for up to 2 days.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Bake cookies for 10-13 minutes, until the

cookies are dry set on the edges and feel set on top and a toothpick inserted

in the center comes out clean.

Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire

rack to finish cooling completely
