If you have been with me for a little while now, you know I did a Shirley J product review & giveaway back in May. And if you remember that, you know how much I LOVE their products! So, when they gave me an opportunity to try their cookie line, I jumped at the opportunity.
All of the Shirley J cookie mixes are in adorable half clear bags so you can see the mix inside. Most of the mixes require shortening or butter & water, but that’s it! Easy!
Let me tell you about the cookies I tried. I am going to start with my favorites & go from there. My absolute favorite was the Soft Ginger-Molasses! It is exactly what it states to be: a soft gingersnap cookie. And maybe you are not a ginger-molasses cookie type, but you should be, because these are soft, sweet & have the perfect amount of ginger & spices.
My second favorite was the Coconutty Macarons. These ones you just add water. The texture is what I liked the best about these. They aren’t dense & stringy like if you use coconut flakes from the store, it’s a shorter flake & it’s more fluffy, but chewy & coconutty. These are GOOD! And maybe I am weird or more of an old school-type cookie lover, but these first two were my favorites!
The Oatmeal Jumbles would be my third choice. I do prefer just a tad more oat-iness to my oatmeal cookies, but these are SOFT oatmeal cookies that you can easily add chocolate chunks or raisins to.
And lastly Shirley J has a no-roll sugar cookie mix which is perfect because I hate cut-out cookies! I think they might have turned out smoother compared to wrinkled had I rolled them in my palm before I put them in the oven like the instructions said….Whoops! Oh & I rolled some of mine in cinnamon-sugar too for snickerdoodles which worked out just fine. The first batch I baked for 18 minutes, like the bag said, but they were a little crunchier than I prefer. The second batch I did 16 minutes & they were just to my likings. I personally like my cookies softer & a little underdone.

I’d love to try the carrot cake cookies. I love carrots and this look yummy in my tummy. Thanks so much for stopping by Granny’s Down Home Sassy Southern Cooking and your yummy comment. It was my pleasure to link up this week.
Sugar cookies are my FAVORITE! I’d love to try those! And I love how you made snickerdoodles out of them, Amber 🙂
I would love the Ginger Molasses. So many of those varieties are like ginger snaps, which I don’t like. I’d love a soft baked variety!
Those black and whites look like they’d be so much fun to make!
I so want to try the recipe for Italian Herb Bread …
I would love to try the Ginger Molasses. That sounds so good to me. Yum!!
I think I would try the ginger molasses cookie mix. You don’t find that every day in a prepackage mix so I think it would be neat to try!
