1/2 cup oil

2 cups sugar

1 cup cocoa

4 eggs

2 tsp vanilla extract

2 cups flour

2 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp salt

confection sugar

• Preheat oven to 350.
• Remove dough from refrigerator and form into balls.
• Roll in confection sugar and place on cookie sheet, leaving space between each ball.
• Bake for 10-15 minutes.

Tips: I've always loved these cookies but never knew what they were called, anyway out of the different versions I have tasted this is the best one ever! When putting them on the cookie sheet make sure to leave enough space because true to there name they do get pretty big. I also under baked them a little to get the extreme fudgyness (my own word) that they offer. Make this recipe its easy and just so good.

Yield: about 3 dozen

Time: Prep – 7 minutes, Cook – 15-20 minutes

1 cup margarine, softened

3/4 cup sugar

3/4 cup light brown sugar

1 tsp vanilla extract

2 eggs

2 1/4 cup flour

1 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp salt

1 cup coconut flakes

1/2 cup chocolate chips

1/2 cup cup white chocolate chips

1/2 cup oatmeal

1/2 cup raisins

3/4 cup colored sprinkles

• Cream margarine, sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract until fluffy, and then add eggs.
• In another bowl, combine flour, baking soda, and salt.
• Add flour mixture to creamed mixture and beat well.
• Stir in remaining ingredients.
• Drop tablespoonful's onto lined cookie sheet and bake at 350 for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown on top.

Tips: I only put a half a cup of coconut as I think a full cup will make the taste to strong. These cookies are a very interesting mixture hence the name everything cookies but they taste better than they sound, give it a try.

Yield: about 1 1/2 dozen

Time: Prep – 7 minutes, Cook – 18-20 minutes

1 cup margarine

3/4 cup cornstarch

1/3 cup confection sugar

1 cup flour

3 Tbsp confection sugar

crystal sugars (any 2 colors)

• Beat margarine until fluffy, and then add cornstarch and 1/3 cup confection sugar.
• Add flour, mixing well until it forms a dough.
• Refrigerate for 1 hour or until chilled.
• Roll into balls and place on cookie sheet.
• Combine 3 tablespoons confection sugar with colored crystals and roll cookies in mixture.
• Bake at 350 until golden brown.

Tips: After refrigerating dough for an hour it got a little tough. I used only 1 color of crystals as their not that cheap and I didnt think its worth to buy 2. The recipe does not say the amount of crystals to put in the rolling mixture so I had to just our an estimate. The crystals did not stick to the cookies when they were rolled in so I sprinkled some on top. I baked the cookies for 20 minutes and they only got light brown. These cookies tasted like a disgusting mixture of margarine and cornstarch but that’s just my opinion as some people told me they tasted decent.

Price to make: $2.54

Yield: about 2 dozen

Time: Prep – 12 minutes, Cook – 12 minutes

1 stick margarine

1 cup sugar

1 egg

1 tsp vanilla extract

1 cup flour

1/2 cup cocoa

1/2 tsp baking soda

less than 1/2 tsp salt

Tips: Add chocolate chips last after mixing everything else together. White chocolate chips look nice with the chocolate color of the cookies, colored would probably look weird. These cookies taste really good.

Price to make: $1.74

Yield: about 30 cookies

Time: Prep – 12 minutes, Cook – 12 minutes

3 eggs

1 cup sugar

3/4 cup oil

2 tsp baking powder

3 cups flour

1/2 cup sugar

2 tsp cinnamon

• Mix eggs, sugar, and oil, and then add baking powder and flour.
• Shape into walnut-sized balls.
• Roll in mixture of cinnamon and sugar and flatten with a fork.
• Place onto lined cookie sheet and bake at 375 for 12 minutes.

Tips: To scoop out the cookies I used a teaspoon cookie scoop. I had about a quarter cup of the cinnamon and sugar mixture left over so I would suggest using only a quarter cup sugar and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon and if need be you’ll make more. These cookies are easy to make and taste pretty good.

Price to make: $4.19

Yield: about 3 dozen Tbsp size cookies

Time: Prep – 15 minutes, Cook – 10-15 minutes

2 1/4 cups flour

1/3 cup cocoa

1 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp salt

2 sticks margarine

3/4 cup sugar

3/4 cup light brown sugar

1 tsp vanilla sugar

2 eggs

24oz chocolate chips

• Mix flour, cocoa, baking soda and salt.
• In another bowl, beat margarine, sugar, brown sugar and vanilla sugar on medium speed until creamy.
• Add eggs and gradually stir in dry ingredients.
• Mix in chocolate chips.
• Drop onto ungreased cookie sheet and bake at 350 for 10-15 minutes.

Tips: These should really be called double chocolate chip cookies. They are really great tasting and even a little fudgy inside. Beat margarine and sugars together, add eggs and then add everything else and mix with a spoon or by hand. I used 12oz of chocolate chips and that was plenty, I cannot imagine using 24oz cause then it would just taste like chocolate chips, not a cookie.

Price to make: $5.94

Yield: about 3 dozen Tbsp size cookies

Time: Prep – 15 minutes, Cook – 10-15 minutes

2 sticks margarine

1 1/2 cups brown sugar

1/2 tsp salt

1 tsp baking soda

2 1/2 tsp vanilla sugar

2 tsp baking powder

2 1/3 cups flour

12oz white chocolate chips
