Here is the new favorite that I can't make enough of:

OATMEAL CRANBERRY WHITE CHOCOLATE CHUNK COOKIES
2/3 cup butter or margarine, softened
1 teaspoon baking soda
2/3 cup brown sugar
1/2teaspoon salt
2 large eggs
1 6-ounce package Craisins Sweetened Dried Cranberries
1-1/2 cups flour
2/3 cup white chocolate chunks or chips
1-1/2 cups of oats

- Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Using an electric mixer, beat butter or margarine and sugar together in a medium mixing bowl until light and fluffy. Add eggs, mixing well. Combine oats, flour, baking soda and salt in a separate mixing bowl. Add to butter mixture in several additions, mixing well after each addition. Stir in sweetened dried cranberries and white chocolate chunks. Drop by rounded teaspoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheets. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown. Cool on wire rack. Makes approximately 2-1/2 dozen cookies.

I have a couple I like to make. This one is sort of like sugar cookes but look NO eggs and it's really tasty raw :

The basic recipe:

Cheesecake Cookie Dough
1 8 oz package brick Cream Cheese Softened
3/4 cup butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
2 tsp. vanilla
2 1/4 cups flour
1/2 tsp baking soda

Beat cream cheese, butter, sugar and vanilla in large bowl on medium speed until well blended gradually add flour and baking soda until well mixed.

Roll and cut as desired.

Variations:

Add 2 squares melted bakers chocolate to half the dough roll out each half into 10x8 rectangles. Layer the rectangles on top of each other and press gently to form an even layer. Roll to form a log. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate 1 hour. Cut into 1/4 inch thick slices and cook in preheated oven at 350 for about 10 minutes.

Add 4 squares melted bakers chocolate to the entirety of the dough. Refrigerate for about 1/2 hour. Roll out till about 1/4 inch thick. Cut like gingerbread men. Add mini-m & ms as eyes, mouth and buttons. Bake at 350 for 8 - 10 minutes.

Cut in crescents and roll in powdered sugar or powdered cinnamon sugar. Again bake at 350 for about 10 minutes.

You can also make thumb prints with jelly or a bar topped with a chopped walnut, pecan, sugar and spice mixture. I can't find the recipe for the nut tooping tho.

To prevent the floury taste that comes from rolling I mix the flour for rolling 1 cup flour with 1/4 cup confectionary sugar.

These are AWESOME!!! The recipe has been in our family forever!!!

NANA’s Molasses Cookies

Ingredients

2 Cups of all-purpose flour
¼ Teaspoon ground cloves
½ Teaspoon of ground ginger
1 Teaspoon of cinnamon

1 egg

½ Cup of Brown Sugar
½ Cup of Crisco
½ Cup of Molasses

1 (heaping) Teaspoon Baking Soda

1 Package of “fold top” sandwich bags

SOUR MILK/make this up 24/48 hours before you decide to bake. Leave out on your counter.

½ Cup of (any) Milk and add 1 Cap full of white vinegar cover with saran wrap and set aside.
*** I make this right up in one of my Pyrex glass measuring cups.

Set your Oven to 400.

SIFT together in a bowl the flour and the spices. (not the baking soda) Put the bowl aside.

MIX together in a bowl the brown sugar, the Crisco, the molasses and the egg. Put the bowl aside.

Take your Sour Milk and add the one (heaping) teaspoon of baking soda and stir completely.

Now slowly mix in your flour/spices mix to the brown sugar bowl while adding slowly your sour milk. Mix some more. Continue to slowly add your flour/spice mix and the sour milk into your brown sugar bowl until everything is in that ONE MIXING BOWL. Mix altogether until creamy and smooth.

Drop by tablespoon onto ungreased cookie sheet. Bake cookies for 8-10 minutes. Stay right there as they bake. Depending on your oven, may be a few minutes longer. Transfer to wire rack to cool (or dinner plate). Yields about 30 cookies. Put each cookie in a baggie (before putting away) to keep fresh.

Hmm.. I'm struggling here cause I just noticed - So many of my recipes are chocolate....

But I was able to find a couple you might like...

My mom and I make these every year. They are Delish! Gotta like coconut tho...

Mom’s Coconut Balls

8 oz Package Cream Cheese - softened
1 box Powdered Sugar
1/2 cup chopped Pecans
1 teaspoon Vanilla
1 pack Flaked Coconut

Mix together the cream cheese, sugar, pecans and vanilla. Roll into balls and roll in the coconut. Set on wax paper to set up. Refrigerate in a covered container.



Something Similar to these were posted on the other cookie thread...
But this is how me and my mom make them...

Haystacks

1 package butterscotch morsels
1/3 cup peanut butter
1 can Chow Mein Noodles
1 cup Salted Peanuts

Melt the butterscotch morsels and peanut butter in the microwave. Stir in the Chow mein noodles and
peanuts. Spoon out on to wax paper and let harden.

Thanks for those who have posted - I realize I too need some recipes that aren't chocolate...

This is going to sound gross, so your going to just have to trust me. (you know, a complete stranger who you've never met and could like spam and velveeta for all you know (I don't))
If you take a ritz cracker and dip it into melted mint chocolate chips, put it onto a wax paper lined baking sheet and stick them in the freezer till hard it will taste...are you ready for this?...It will taste EXACTLY like a girl scout Thin Mint. Yummy!! Take that Girl scouts with your $3.50 a box crack cookies!!!
I just discovered this yesterday and when I sent them around the neighborhood to be tested (because I didn't trust my taste buds) one of my neighbors husbands said "She probably just dipped a girl scout cookie in chocolate" (he put the whole thing in his mouth and didn't notice that it wasn't chocolate in the center.
Anyways-
Ritz + Mint Chocolate = Oh holy cow! How on Earth does this taste so good?!?!?

 

[paintnolish]

Spread pb between two Ritz crackers and dip in chocolate (I prefer white). You can top with a cute Xmas candy decoration. They are so good and look cute, too. You could also find the Christmas Crack recipe that usually goes around (toffee using saltines). Pb cookies made in mini muffin tins with a pb cup pushed into the middle.... I am a bit of a pb/choc fiend, though!

We buy the little Peanut Butter Sandwich Ritz and do the same thing. It's the perfect combination of salty and sweet.

Most of my cookie recipes are complicated but these are easy and good:

They sell these in the stores right now minus the mint for $3.99 a box.
Ritz dipped in chocolate and they were so good. We ate two boxes of them. BOGO at Publix last week. They are calling them limited edition.

question;;

I have tried finding mint choc nestle morsels...... found out there is no such thing anymore. their website suggests adding 1/4 t. mint extract to a bag of morsels & letting them sit overnight.

anyone know just what the right combination is if you melt the semi sweet ones? how much mint extract?

I can't taste test them ( as I am diabetic) but want to make them for a family party.
