Our local Subways label their cookies as being Otis Spunkmeyer brand. I
can buy that brand of frozen cookie dough at Smart and Final, Costco and
the local grocery store. Perhaps it is available in your area?

Why would you need to do that?

Jen's posting from Australia - though I don't know what part. I'm in NSW,
and the local Subway doesn't label their cookies as being any particular
brand.Otis Spunkmeyer isn't a brand I'm familiar with here.
Jen - I think you just want any basic biscuit/cookie recipe that makes a
thin cookie. I think there've been many discussions here in the past over
what aspects of the dough will make a cookie that spreads more.I've eaten
cookies at the Subway in Penrith and they weren't anything special. I'm
not sure if they're all standard - if they all use the same mix, or same
pre-prepared dough.

I think you're quite right, I think it is quite a basic one, but I really
love it, that's why I thought it should be easy to make at home. So could
we please start another discussion for a basic, thin cookie. I'm sorry if
it had already been discussed.

Don't be sorry - I didn't mean to imply you shouldn't ask the question.
Just that I know there have been discussions about this aspect of cookies
previously - perhaps you could do a search on Google of r.f.c posts.
I don't have a plain or choc chip recipe like this that I make often, so
can't help there. If you like peanuts, though, I do make this recipe a
lot, and they make thin, chewy/crispy, very moreish biccies (cookies) -
much better than Subway cookies <g>.
This recipe is actually from a kid's cookbook that I got in high school -
I've had it for about 26-27 years now. Kitchen Wizard - the recipes are
all in themed chapters, and this one's from A Huckleberry Finn Raft
Picnic <g>. Unfortunately the book is out of print, I think it would be a
great book for encouraging kids to cook. I've posted this here before, I
think. They are really good, and I have to give them away or I'd eat them
all.
Playin' Hookey Cookies
from Kitchen Wizard, Deborah Jarvis
125g soft butter
125g crunchy peanut butter
125g granulated sugar
125g brown sugar
1 egg
1/2 tsp vanilla
150g self raising flour
50g crushed or chopped peanuts (optional - but I always add)
Cream butter and peanut butter till light and fluffy
Add sugars gradually.
Beat in egg and vanilla
Mix in sifted flour and crushed nuts if using.
Roll dough into small balls about the size of walnuts. Place on baking
tray about 5cm apart. Flatten with floured fork. Bake just above the
centre of 180C (350F) oven for 10 - 12 minutes. Let cookies sit on tray
for a couple of minutes (they're very soft when straight out of oven)
then remove with palette knife and cool on rack.

the newsgroup alt.cookies.yum.yum.yum might give you a better cookie
recipe as it is mostly just cookie recipes. Note the measurements are in US
terms so be cautious of them.

Thanks for that advice and the recipe. I'll add this recipe to my book and
see what else I come up with.

Thanks! I never new there was such a newsgroup, I don't know where to
start. I've asked them for the recipe so I'll see how I go.

Very true <g>.
I hope I didn't come across as having a go at Marcella's answer, as I
didn't mean to.

Jen.
Never heard of 'Otis Spunkmeyer' in any shops or supermkts here, but, I have
seen them somewhere,
probably in a Subway or possibly in Starbucks because I remember being
mildly amused at the name.

We have vegemite over here, but I always preferred marmite.
Do you get marmite in Oz?

Nah, there are others, we just don't like to talk about you :-) The ones
that like Marmite or Promite rather than Vegemite, we deport....(vbeg)
Seriously,though, I've never tried Marmite. Love my Vegemite, though - I
like it straight (no butter or margarine). Vegemite toast is a favourite.

I always found vegemite had a odd taste, my sister likes it tho'.
It's also more cloudy, marmite is a clean black colour.
Although it was a while ago since I last tasted Vege.. I think it's less
salty than Mar..
Personally I like Marmite on buttered toast, with the melted butter and let
the
warmth start to melt the marmite into the pores of the bread.
Or even on untoasted buttered bread and mix it well into the butter on the
bread.
