I am in the market for good cookie recipes.....
Posted on Dec. 16, 2005
Does anyone have a favorite cookie recipe that they either got from a cookbook or was a family favorite or something that they just threw together and created on their own? Something different from the typical chocolate chip or sugar cookie. I am trying to get into the swing of baking and I figured if it was cookies the kids would be more willing to help. They enjoy helping w/ supper sometimes but it is usually followed by "I will help you, but do we have to eat it?"

At my main blog, I have several cookie recipes that I'm putting in our tins for gifts. You might see something you like there.
