I'm not sure what these were originally called, but the recipe came from a Pillsbury Bakeoff cookbook. These are my favorite cookies and I get requests for them all the time. They are a chocolate cookie topped with sugar and pecans and when you bite into them you get a delicious caramel surprise! -- posted by Pismo

Chocolate Heart Cookies

Fri, 10 Feb 2006 15:32:44 -0500

I found this last year in the "Taste of Home" magazine. They were an instant hit and left everyone craving more. Excellent for Valentines especially, but they are good any time of the year. I dip them in the milk chocolate and drizzle white - though the recipe calls for it the other way, you can chose to reverse the amounts between white and milk chocolate chips according to your taste. -- posted by Rachel55

Easy Fudgy Cookies

Wed, 17 May 2006 17:49:56 -0400

I make this recipe when I have no energy to make one of my more elaborate desserts. It's very easy to make, and the cookies come out soft and bakery-perfect!

Chocolate Chip Cookies With Sprinkles

Mon, 18 Sep 2006 23:34:39 -0400

A friend of a friend gave me this recipe, so I am not sure where she got it from. This recipe makes a lot of cookies, and it is great when you are baking for a huge crowd. This cookie does not spread much making it thick and has a mouth load of chocolate (from the sprinkles and chocolate chips). I have left out the sprinkles and they still taste just as good. Since the batter comes out rather thick it is advisable to use a heavy duty stand mixer. -- posted by Marz

Nutella Kisses

Mon, 27 Nov 2006 16:10:38 -0500

I love Nutella, so when I came across this cookie, I had to try it! The cookie tastes great, but I wanted it to be less crispy, more chewy. It has a chocolate kiss in the center-I made the recipe as is, but next time I will leave out the kisses in some (not a huge fan of plain milk chocolate). -- posted by knobbyknee

Chocolate Peppermint Pinwheel Cookies

Thu, 07 Dec 2006 12:43:18 -0500

Soft and Fudgy Peanut Butter Cookies

Wed, 21 Mar 2007 22:35:41 -0400

These cookies weren't supposed to be! A Zaar chef, who shall remain nameless, ;) posted a recipe for a chocolate cookie with pb chips in it. But instead of listing butter as the first ingredient, she accidentally listed peanut butter. After I had mixed everything together, I knew something was wrong because I ended up with a bowl full of crumbs, not dough. To try and salvage the ingredients, I added the milk, left out the pb chips and formed them like traditional pb cookies. Thankfully, the resulting cookies were soft and tasty so I decided to share. :) -- posted by Marg (CaymanDesigns)

Addicting Chocolate Chip Cookies

Thu, 23 Aug 2007 12:22:42 -0400

The secret ingredient in these soft cookies is COFFEE! Just like the French add a dash of black pepper to their chocolate, coffee adds that extra "something" to chocolate chip cookies. You won't be able to place the extra ingredient, but you will definitely feel that something subtle and great is in there. Beware if you are on a diet! -- posted by mojoloh

I'll admit that this is going to take some time but the result is so completely worth it! The prep time includes the mixing, chilling and decoration time.

A variation on the rum balls without the rum! Kids (& adults) will love them. I have made this recipe since I was a little girl and they are still a family favourite. Great for picnics, parties and even Christmas - and as gifts. The recipe is easy to make double batches for larger crowds! -- posted by Magpie 025

Simplified Peanut Butter and Chocolate Pinwheels

Tue, 27 Nov 2007 19:12:58 -0500

I found this one on the Better Homes and Gardens website. They turned out a little crackled on top, but still looked nice and tasted great! It was definitely a LOT quicker than mixing up two batches of dough from scratch! My advice is to use the good quality (not cheapo off brand) cookie dough. I used a tube of Pillsbury Peanut Butter Cookie and a tube of off-brand Sugar Cookie. The sugar cookie dough took a little more effort to mix the cocoa into because of it's harder consistency...actually used my hands instead of the wooden spoon! -- posted by KaDo

I see there are a lot of Monster cookie recipes on here, but there are slight variations of it. I prefer my mom's recipe. Yes I know it calls for a lot of ingredients and in large quantities, but what I like to do is make a large batch before Halloween--hence "Monster" cookies. I put the dough into containers and freeze. This helps me get a jump start on my holidays. I just give out the dough as gifts through the holidays. My family loves it because everyone loves them, but no one wants to take the time to make them. -- posted by Erin Harris

Dark Chocolate Espresso Shortbread Cookies

Sun, 13 Jan 2008 01:10:16 -0500

Shortbread is one of my favorite cookie types for its silken texture. So when I stumbled on this recipe combining it with two of my favorite ingredients -- coffee and chocolate -- my eyes opened wide.

Chocolate Chip Rugelach Recipes

Mon, 28 Apr 2008 01:26:21 -0400

Courtesy of bellaonline.com Rugelach are a cross between a cookie and a little rolled up pastry. These pastries are now mainstream, and come with a myriad of fillings, including many that include jam and finely chopped nuts. The dough is traditionally cream cheese dough, which some believe to have been developed in the U.S. by the Philadelphia Cream Cheese company. This recipe uses a chocolate chip, walnut and cocoa filling, this recipe will take some time, because the dough needs to chill, and then rolled out, and cut. -- posted by seahorse73

Coffee & Walnut Cream Cookies (Biscuits)

Thu, 21 Aug 2008 15:32:07 -0400

These are more of a special occasion treat than an everyday cookie. Also, these are probably more for older tastes than for kids. (A big hit with adults at a recent engagement party.) Don't be scared that it looks like a lot of work - they really aren't that bad! You will need a 5.5cm round cookie cutter. Australian measurements used. Taken from Australian Women's Weekly: Cookies. -- posted by Mischka

A great holiday treat! This is a delicious low-fat cookie recipe from the great cookbook, "One Smart Cookie: All Your Favourite Cookies, Squares, Brownies and Biscotti... with less fat !", by Julie Van Rosendaal. Dough must chill for an hour before rolling out. An alternative (make-ahead) way to make this recipe is as an icebox cookie.

Chocolate Crinkle Cookies

Tue, 23 Dec 2008 00:54:04 -0500

These are crisp on the surface with a soft and gooey centre. These are great for the holiday season as the white powdered sugar contrasts dramatically with the deep brown chocolate crevices and they look as though they are covered in snow. The recipe is from "Bakewise: The Hows and Whys of Successful Baking" by Shirley Corriher. These are Shirley's favourite cookies! She is a food scientist (as well as a cook) thus her recipes are very reliable. The dough needs to be refrigerated for a few hours or overnight. Makes 3 to 5 dozen, depending on size. -- posted by blucoat

Mayan Chocolate Sparklers

Fri, 13 Feb 2009 14:19:59 -0500

A friend pointed me to this recipe (which I've changed slightly) on the blog MontCarte that is adapted from a recipe on Under the Highchair. I love recipes involving spiced chocolate. These cookies are absolutely delicious and they smell wonderful while baking. I didn't want to leave the kitchen! The topping gives the cookie a sparkly look and a wonderful crunch accented by a hint of heat from the cayenne pepper. The MontCarte blogger substituted the vegetable shortening with additional unsalted butter, but her cookies were crumbly as a result. I used vegetable shortening and my cookies crumbled very little. I've switched to bread flour in this cookie recipe. I will produce cookies with lasting softness. If that's not something you want, the bread flour can easily be replaced with all-purpose flour. If you plan to serve these to sensitive mouths and tummies, leave out the chili powder and cayenne but keep the black pepper to still achieve the spiced-chocolate taste without the burn. I prefer to use freshly ground black pepper for this recipe to achieve a stronger note in the taste. If you have an audience who's hesitant to spiced chocolate, dub these cookies simply "chocolate cookies" and watch for a reaction. I've seen these cookies win over many a cinnamon-chocolate, pepper-chocolate hater. Yield of this recipe is around 5 dozen and serving size is 2-3 cookies but I usually eat twice that amount in each sitting. The cookies great well with a glass of milk or crumbled over ice cream. -- posted by Graceless Ally

These cookies are bite-size bits of Heaven! They call for mini chocolate chips in the dough, But I live in the boonies and was out of mini chocolate chips. I had a choice... use mini M&M's or driving to the city to buy the chocolate chips.. M&M's won! -- posted by The Homesteading Housewife

Rolled cookie with coconut pecan frosting spooned in the center. Moist cookie tastes like the wonderful cake! Labor intensive but really worth it. Dough needs to be refrigerated 6-8 hours before baking for best results. Baked cookies freeze very well. -- posted by red and white kitchen

Tko Cookies - Thomas Keller Oreos

These delightful grown-up oreos are sold at Thomas Keller's famed Bouchon Bakery. They have a deep chocolate flavour, and a little salt to perfectly balance the rich filling. The recipe was printed in "The Essence of Chocolate" by John Scharffenberger. Plan ahead as the filling requires time to set up. These cookies are very versatile and you can play with the filling flavour. -- posted by blucoat

A recipe from "Heavenly Brownies", a book given to me by my Cookbook Swap mate, Jubes. The cookbook is from the UK, which is why European measurements are given. You may easily convert them by using the site I frequent, http://www.onlineconversion.com/cooking.htm, and using the weight to volume converter to go from grams or ounces to cups. -- posted by Katzen
