Damn you all! --eating fudge stripe minis because that's all I have in the house. Hmm 140 calories, not too terrible. For how many? I'd probably eat 5 - 10 before stopping. Oh well that was dinner.

Thanks milee for the rub recipe! I have a frozen roaster to use up soon, so I'm going to try it on that. I just need to buy mace. That's the only spice I don't have.
Florentine cookies with melted chocolate brushed on the bottom. Yum! They're made with oatmeal, butter and brown sugar. Definitely not for the calorie conscious but good.

In contrast to all other cookies.

wait, do you mean the stuff you spray at would-be attackers? Sort of. I assume that "Mace" spray is a concentrated version, but Mace is also a spice you can buy at the store and add to recipes. Some of my English MIL's recipes - including the one for Christmas Pudding - include Mace. There's a really awesome recipe from Bon Appetit for a Brown Sugar spice rub for turkey that includes Mace. www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/brown-sugar-cured-turkey-with-wild-mushroom-shallot-gravy-4378 BTW, that rub from the Bon Appetit recipe is incredible on baked chicken. Just mix up approx 1/4 - 1/3 of the spice rub, rub it on a whole chicken and put the chicken in a roasting pan on top of some quartered onions, carrots and parsnips... awesome!!! Your whole house smells good while it cooks. No. No relation to the spice.

No idea. They're teeny tiny and come in a 1 ounce lunch pack for kids. I could open up another one and count them... ETA: 12, that all fit on my hand at once. The sacrifices I make for science! 😋

Peanut Butter. Crispy and a little burnt on the bottom. But, I'm with MPL I haven't met a cookie I didn't like.

I've met lots of cookies I don't like. If it has nuts, peanut butter, coconut, white chocolate or cinnamon, I am pretty much going to hate it. And raspberry. For some reason there are so many things contaminated with raspberry it's disgusting. I hate raspberry.
Chocolate crinkles that my mother used to make, lemon Milano and Oreo Double Stuf cookies are really about the only ones I really bother to eat. I know, I'm weird. I prefer chocolate cake.

So now I have to order these cookies. Then, if they arrive in an acceptably unsquished state, I will have to order them again because they will be good and I am powerless to resist them. And then my dreams of regaining my girlish figure will go up in carbohydrate-fueled flames.
Thanks.

Coconut Macaroons from this little bakery in Cannon Beach, OR. I could live on them!
Mom's Snickerdoodles and Magic Bars (without the chocolate chips, yes I don't like chocolate ). Mom always make me a separate batch without the chocolate.
Store bought Swedish Ginger Snaps from IKEA (since I can't get Icelandic ones here )

The original Nestle Tollhouse chocolate chip cookie is the best. But I like to make a few without the chocolate chips.
I also like key lime shortbread cookies. Or Walkers pure butter shortbread.
Nuts and fruits in cookies are an abomination.

MJ2.0 my dear old friend, we hate you for starting this thread. Now I've added cookies to my grocery list and am snacking on raisins and this afternoon. Not in a hurry to go out because the beach traffic has started near me.

tomorrow it's going to be stormy... guess what DS and I will be doing/baking? Yeah yeah I know - diabetes. But I will be bringing at least half my yield to work... they LOVE sugar! And some of my yield will go to my friend and his family (although they are all trying to be healthier).

I have too many favorites, I love cookies! I'm just disappointed there are not more recipes posted My gramma used to make chocolate krinkles. I should see if my mom has her recipe. For chocolate chip cookies, this is the best recipe I've tried so far, but I'll try the one listed on the first page next. If you make this one though, use salted butter or add a little salt if you use unsalted butter. I tried with unsalted the first time, and it was just "missing something". I've also made them with half vanilla extract/half almond extract, and that was good too (although they tasted weird shortly after baking, tasted much better the next day). SUNSET’S BEST THICK, CHEWY, CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIE RECIPE Makes about 36 large cookies 2 cups (1 lb.) butter, at room temperature 3 cups packed light brown sugar 4 large eggs 2 tsp. vanilla extract 5 cups all-purpose flour 2 tsp. baking soda 1 tsp. salt 4 cups (24 oz.) semisweet chocolate chips 1. Preheat oven to 400°. In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat butter and brown sugar on medium speed until well blended. Beat in eggs and vanilla until smooth, scraping down sides of bowl as needed. 2. In another bowl, mix flour, baking soda, and salt. Stir or beat into butter mixture until well incorporated. Stir in chocolate chips. 3. Line rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper. Drop dough in rounded 1/4-cup portions (we use an ice cream scoop so they come out even), well apart, onto baking sheets. (They spread quite a bit, so only put 5 on a sheet unless you don’t care if they run together.) 4. Bake until cookies are lightly browned and no longer wet in the center (break one open to check), 9 to 10 minutes; if baking more than one pan at a time, switch pan positions halfway through baking. 5. Let cookies cool on baking sheets a couple of minutes. With a wide spatula, transfer cookies to racks to cool completely. For Christmas, I really like the weirdly addictive Candy Cane Cookies (but I skip the crushed candy canes and sugar topping). Don't use the new online recipe though, it's missing the almond extract, which is what causes the weird taste, making you not want anymore, but then magically transforms to an addictive quality, and makes them taste really good at the same time. Betty Crocker's Candy Cane Cookies Author: Betty Crocker's Cooky Book Recipe type: Christmas Cookie Serves: 3 dozen Ingredients ½ cup butter, softened ½ cup vegetable shortening 1 cup sifted confectioners sugar 1 egg 1½ tsp. almond extract 1 tsp. vanilla 2½ cups all purpose flour 1 tsp. salt ½ tsp. red food coloring (gel or paste works best) ½ cup crushed candy cane (I skip this) ½ cup granulated sugar (I skip this too) Instructions Preheat oven to 375° (350° for convection oven). Combine butter, shortening, egg, confectioners sugar, almond and vanilla extracts in a mixing bowl and mix to combine thoroughly. In a small bowl, combine the flour and salt. Stir the flour mixture into the butter mixture. Divide the dough in half. Blend the red food coloring into one half. Use a 1 tsp. measuring spoon to portion the dough. Form one cookie at a time by rolling the balls of dough out to make 4" strips. Place a red colored strip together with a plain colored strip and lightly press them together, then twist like a rope. Place on an ungreased baking sheet and curve the top to form the handle of the cane. Bake about 9 minutes, until the cookies are lightly browned. Remove from the oven and sprinkle with a mixture of crushed candy cane and granulated sugar.

Well, I made chocolate peanut butter no-bakes. My 1 year old liked them, but I think they could have used another cup of oats.
My husband is excited to come home and have a cookie.

I like the grocery store ones that are fluffy and have the giant mound of icing.
I have a sugar cookie that I put lime, tequila and triple sec in. I ice it with tequila icing and sprinkle it with salt and sugar. Those are pretty freaking awesome.
I also have a white chocolate chip recipe that has bailey's in it. Yummy.
I wonder is I have a problem.

Also those little buttery tea cookies with the jam in (or on).
Oooo, Stella D'Oro cookies. I used to love getting the box of assorted Stella D'Oro cookies. I don't think they make them anymore. I can't find them around here anywhere.
And almond shortbread cookies.
And chocolate shortbread.
Now I want cookies. You break my heart my friend. Do you still not know Amazon sells almost anything. And they'll bring the Stella d'Oro cookies right to your door... ETA: that's what I get for posting from a very different time zone. I saw that someone else already put you straight
