What are the 4 cookie types?

There are eight basic types of cookies: bar cookies, drop cookies, fried cookies, molded cookies, no-bake cookies, refrigerator (ice box) cookies, rolled cookies and sandwich cookies.

Bar Cookies: These are some of the quickest and easiest type of cookie to make. Bar cookie recipes usually start with a cake or brownie mix that you simply combine with other ingredients such as eggs, butter, chocolate chips or nuts and then bake in one pan. Some popular bar cookie recipes include blondies, brownies and7 layer bars.

Drop Cookies: As their name suggests, drop cookies are made by “dropping” spoonfuls of dough onto a baking sheet before baking. This type of cookie is often used for Toll House Chocolate Chip Cookies as well as oatmeal raisin cookies. Drop cookies tend to be softer and chewier than other types of cookie.

Fried Cookies: These unusual treats are made by frying balls of cookie dough in hot oil until they’re golden brown and crispy on the outside while remaining soft and gooey on the inside. Fried ice cream is a popular dessert that uses this cooking method but you can also fry up your favorite cookie recipe too! Just be sure to have plenty of paper towels on hand to blot away any excess oil before serving. Molded Cookies: Molded cookiesare created by pressing dough into special molds or cutters to create unique shapes before baking them off in the oven. This type includes favorites like spritzgeback(pressed into holiday-themed designs), gingerbread men (usually made with molasses and spices), and checkerboard shortbread (a classic Christmas treat).
