Types of Cookies
The word cookie originated from the Dutch word Koekje, which means
a small piece of cake. Cookies were originally made from cake mixtures;
compressed into small pieces and baked in the stove to measure the latters
temperature. Cookies can be classified by its texture and the various baking
methods. There are 6 types.
1. Dropped Cookies
This type of cookie is most widely-known and can be
baked easily. Due to the mixtures runny texture, it can
be shaped by simply squeezing the mixture through a
pastry bag or depositing small chunks of the dough onto
the baking sheet. When baked, they either flatten out or
take on round shape, with a crispy and crumbly texture.
You can add other ingredients of your choice to create
your preferred cookie flavour such as butter, peanut or
coffee cookies.

2. Pressed Cookies
This lovely and delectable type of cookie is made from
very rich ingredients; therefore, the dough is quite
cohesive. It can be flattened using a roller. Using a
cookie press or pastry tube, you can form different
shapes like flowers or animals. Examples of this cookie
are Cashew nut cookie and toffee cookie.

3. Molded Cookies
These are dry in texture and contain high fat content,
making them suitable to be shaped by hand into
figurines such as stars, hearts or animals. You can also
decorate the surface with icing.
4. Rolled Cookies

The texture of the rolled cookie dough is harder than

any other types so that it can be easily rolled out into
thin slices. After which, a cookie press or pastry tube is
used to construct the shape. The baked cookies are
crumbly and not too sweet. Examples include lime
cookies and biscuits.

5. Bar Cookies
Its texture can be soft like a cake, crispy or sticky. The
ingredients of this cookie type are different from the
usual as they are found in both cake and cookie
recipes. They are prepared by setting the dough in a
cookie pan to level it out. They are baked and quickly
cut into squares while theyre still warm. An example
of this type: brownies.

6. Refrigerated Cookies
This type of cookie is prepared by rolling out thin
slices of dough, shaping them into long rolls, and
subsequently wrapping them in cellophane and
refrigerating them. Once cold, the dough can be sliced
into various shapes, and garnished with peanuts,
almonds or dried fruits. They can be kept for months
and baked when you want to eat them. Examples are
cheese, pinwheel and peanut cookies.
