I am starting to do more cookies than cakes lately so I have been on the lookout for creating a good solid 3-4 recipes to always use. I have the chocolate rolled, gingerbread, NFSC and now I have a NFSC with chocolate chips.
I added 1 cup on mini chocolate chips to the recipe and it worked great and made them perfect for those who like chocolate chip cookies.
Interesting! One cup of minis to the full recipe of NFSC? Doesn't sound like much for the whole NFSC recipe but I'm willing to give it a shot. I've tried the rolled chocolate chip cookie recipe from Karenscookies.net. The recipe worked very well but I don't like the texture of the overall cookie. Others like it in my family. I don't care for it. It's more of a shortbread cookie when baked.
Thanks for the tip!
Any other recipes? I thought the NFSC were good, but my little ones won't touch 'em! 
They'll only eat the frosting off of them.

wow purple i'm so shocked that your kids didn't like them ! my mom, who doesn't like cookies w/ exception to the neimen's recipe, loved them! do any of you know how to go about making the NFSC into a chocolate cookie? just wondering.

My younger kids don't care for them either. It amazes me! They like Penny's even less! Little weird-o's. 
I'm going to try them with the mini chocolate chips. They do love chocolate chip cookies. Thanks for the tip, sgirvan. The peanut butter chip ones sound good too, Cakerer. Maybe I can use a mixture of the peanut butter chips and chocolate chips.... The NFSC recipe is so nice to work with, and makes a really nice-looking cookie- I hope I can get them to work for my family.
Great idea sgirvan. I have a granddaughter that likes the NFSC but doesn't eat them because of the icing. I usually have to leave some of them plain. I use to use Wilton's recipe and now I use Antonia74's and have been trying to get her to at least try them because I think that they definetly taste different. Antonia's doesn't seem to get as rock hard in the center. Plus the last couple batches I've been adding the same flavoring that I use in the cookies into the icing. But if I try them plain with the mini chips it may be a great alternative for her so she can eat them as well. Lynda
nfsc is no fail sugar cookie--listed in recipes here on the site. Excellent sugar cookies!
have only made them once earlier in the month, and my kids have asked for them about 10 more times!
What is nfsc
No Fail Sugar Cookies
Hi all, hope you don't mind my question about the nfsc because it seems that you have experience with it. I made the nfsc for these cut out cookies I did in my pics and they were great! They didn't spread at all!
BUT, when I went to do those severed witch finger cookies, they spread like the bandit!! I don't understand it. I even kept them cooled overnight in the refridgerator.
Any suggestions? Was it because maybe I made fat fingers and the shape couldn't hold up? I probably should have made skinnier fingers 
I had the exact same thing happen. First time they spread pretty bad. So the second time I tried I made the fingers about the size I wanted and then pushed the sides of the finger together to make it taller instead of perfectly round and it worked great.
Also, I add maple flavoring instead of vanilla to my cookies and you should hear the comments, people don't recognize the flavor but LOVE them. This is my signature cookie now.
Huh. MAPLE! Never woulda thunk that- will have to give that a try- I usually use orange with the same reaction from people- they can't place it but love it. As far as the witch fingers go- YEP- gotta make 'em skinny and tall and chill well before baking.
I had the exact same problem! Even when I tried making them skinnier, they still "puffed" so much 
It's just for the kids ~ they won't see the pic that looks much better, but I was a little disappointed. They looked SO good before I baked them!
Any other comments on how to hold the finger shape better are welcome!! Different recipe? What would happen with less baking powder?
