I feel the need to make cookies, so I'm hoping to get some incredible cookie recipes. I was eating trail mix the other day and thought I should throw it into a cookie, so I'll try that, but does anyone else have recipes for me to try? Easy recipes are best, naturally, but if I actually have to learn beyond my tiny skill, I suppose IT CAN'T BE AVOIDED. Thanks!

Any kind of cookies in particular? I've recently discovered Molasses cookies, which I really like. I need to find a good recipe to make some myself though.
As far as chocolate chips go, look no further than the one on the back of the Nestle Milk Chocolate Chip bag. MMMMMMmmmmmmm.

Yup, those are pretty much the way to go. There are a few tweaks here and there (different flour amounts for different areas of the country, etc.) but they sure do make a tasty cookie.
Made sugar cookies for Xmas, but I misread the ingredients. I put in 3 sticks of butter instead of 2.5. Made for a tasty cookie, but man was that dough hard to work with...

Or my version:
1. Send Jason to store to buy my favourite cookies. 2. Hope he comes back.
Hmm, I may need to tweek that recipe a little.

Eat your favorite cookie. I always have trouble with the fourth step. Maybe I should talk to my doctor. Ha ha, man, but you guys are virtually no help! I've bought a lot of cookies, but it just gets old going for the ones at the store. Plus, it's different having them fresh out of the oven. To ease myself into it, however, I think I may just get pre-made dough and play with what ingredients I add to that.

<- goes to kitchen. Grabs one of his favourite home made Christmas cookies.
You know, your right. There is something special about home made you just can't get from store bought.
Seriously, the only home made recipies I have are Christmas cookies. I used to have an excellent choco-chip recipe that included several types of nuts, but I think the ex ended up with that one.

I like them, of course, but if I'm going to go to the trouble of making cookies, it usually feels like I should be doing more than the most common cookie in existence. Still, I love cookies enough to try any recipe, no matter if it's chocolate chip or not.

For me there is nothing better than a hot chocolate chip cookie right out of the oven, except maybe a peanut butter chocolate chip cookie.

Best Chocolate Chip Cookies EVAR
Mix (with electric mixer) in large bowl: 1 lb butter 1 box (2 cups) dark brown sugar 1 1/2 cup sugar
Add: 3 eggs 4 tbsp high quality vanilla (important!)
Beat for about 3 minutes.
Add: 4 cups flour 1 cup oats (quick for less texture, regular for more texture) 1 1/2 tsp baking soda 1 1/2 tsp salt 1 tsp cinnamon
Mix.
Add: 4 cups chopped pecans or walnuts 4 cups Nestle chocolate chips
Drop onto ungreased cookie sheets and bake at 350 for 10-15 minutes per tray. (I usually take them out closer to 10 for softer cookies.)
Makes a buttload of cookies.

I tried this recipe: Black Forest CookiesI only had Original Craisins, though, not Cherry. They still taste good. Not my perfect cookie, so the search continues, but a nice first effort.

I like the orange flavored Craisins the best.
Not sure how they'd fare in the cookie, though.

I've never had the other flavors of Craisins. Orange sounds good. I'll have to experiment.

I don't know, but I bet J.P. has the "I Survived the Thruster!" t-shirt to prove it.
He also has a lot of explaining to do to his friends whenever he wears it. . . .

I think J.P. would get kicked out of Walt Disney World rather quickly sporting that shirt.
I'd pay to see that, though.

I wasn't crazy about the cherry flavored ones. Although, I have been enjoying dried cherries, they're very tasty. If you want something dried that tastes like cherries, why not just buy dried cherries in the first place? Personally I like my canberries to taste like cranberries strange as that may be.

OK, now I wanna know what dried cherries taste like, but I have never seen them around here. I suppose now I have to go out and buy cherry flavoured craisins. :rollyeyes:

I made chocolate chip cookies from a recipe that Kruncher sent me. I'll make Peter's probably next weekend. I also made the following: Trail Mix CookiesI substituted dark chocolate M&Ms for the chocolate chips, made it 1/2 cup peanuts and 1/2 cup slivered almonds instead of 1 cup of slivered almonds, and I didn't have any flax seed, so I just left that out. I think they turned out pretty good.

Flax seed trivia: Unless its ground, adding flax seed is a waste. We can't digest the whole seed so it passes right on through.
