CAN YOU BAKE COOKIES ON PARCHMENT PAPER RECIPES

Steps:

• Place 1 stick room-temperature butter in a medium bowl and work with a spatula, beating against side of bowl, until smooth and lump-free. If butter is room temperature, this should happen fast. If it’s still a bit cold, work it vigorously.
• Add ¼ cup sugar, ½ tsp. cinnamon, and ½ tsp. salt and mix with spatula until sugar is combined with butter and mixture is completely homogenous, about 2 minutes. You’re not looking for a light and fluffy texture the way you normally would when you “cream” butter and sugar, just a smooth consistency.
• Add 1 egg yolk, 2 Tbsp. honey, and 2 tsp. vanilla and mix with spatula until incorporated.
• Add 1 cup plus 2 Tbsp. flour and mix with spatula just until flour disappears and mixture comes together in a single, homogenous mass. → Here's four ways to remix this simple cookie dough.
• Lightly dust a sheet of parchment paper with flour and place dough on top. Flour your hands and pat out dough into a rectangle that’s about ½" thick, adding more flour as needed to prevent dough from sticking.
• Dust top of dough with more flour and place a sheet of parchment over. Roll out dough to an ⅛"-thick rectangle. The exact dimensions aren’t important, just make sure it’s wider than it is long and as close to a rectangle as possible (otherwise pinwheels will be a little wonky).
• Remove top layer of parchment. Slide bottom parchment with dough onto a rimmed baking sheet. Chill until dough is firm, at least 20 minutes.
• Remove dough from refrigerator and position baking sheet so 1 longer side is closest to you. Using a small offset spatula or the back of a spoon, spread ¼ cup preserves in a very thin layer across surface, leaving a ½" border on all sides except side closest to you. On that side, spread jam all the way to the edge.
• Starting at side closest to you and using parchment to help you, roll up dough into a spiraled log. If dough cracks, stop rolling and let it sit for a few minutes until pliable. Rest log on seam and transfer baking sheet to freezer. Freeze until dough is very firm but not frozen, 10–15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, preheat oven to 325°. Line another baking sheet with parchment paper and grease with nonstick spray.
• Transfer log to cutting board. Cut crosswise into ¼"-thick pinwheels, rotating log every few slices to maintain the round shape and wiping knife occasionally to remove jam. Transfer pinwheels to greased parchment-lined sheet, spacing 1" apart.
• Bake cookies until edges are golden brown and center of spiral is barely golden, 12–15 minutes. Let cool 5 minutes on baking sheet, then transfer to a wire rack and let cool completely.
• Arrange cookies on a plate and serve.
• Do Ahead: Dough can be filled, rolled, and frozen 1 month ahead. Wrap tightly in plastic. Thaw overnight in refrigerator before slicing and baking.

Steps:

• Line a baking sheet with wax paper or parchment paper.
• Place both the butterscotch chips and the chocolate chips in a large microwave-safe bowl. Melt the chips together in the microwave, stirring chips every 30-45 seconds, until smooth.
• Remove from microwave and begin folding in the chow mein noodles a little at a time until they are completely coated with the melted chip mixture. Fold in peanuts until they are completely coated.
• Drop chow mein mixture by the spoonful onto prepared baking sheet. Place baking sheet in the refrigerator until Chow Mein Cookies have completely set.
• Once Chow Mein Cookies have set, store covered at room temperature.
