This is my son's favorite cookie. He makes these all the time.

Half of a cookie exchange recipe from good housekeeping. Not an easy recipe, but very worth it for flavor and softer cookie style.

I have also done these substituting coconut oil for the shortening with good success!

I like a little kick sometimes added to my sweets, a little spice made these ever so nice!!

I saw a cookie with a candy window on a TV show awhile ago. I thought if it could be made with a black cocoa cookie, it'd make for a nice contrast and be really cute, so I gave it a shot. When I put the candy in before baking the cookie dough would become smashed or stick to the candy and it was quite difficult. So I changed the procedure to add the candy during the middle of baking.Try to fill in the gaps with smashed candy bits as much as possible. The baking may differ depending on your household oven, so adjust the temperature and baking time as necessary. If the temperature is too hot, the candy may burn. It might be a good idea to have candy bits left over when baking so you can fill in any gaps. For the candy, I use orange and pineapple flavored Sakuma drops. Recipe by yotiko

This recipe is on Pinterest. A friend found it for Dr. Seuss week and I made them for my son's class as well as another class I volunteer in. They are a bit time consuming if a large quantity is needed but the kids love them.

I was craving some lightly textured cookies.Adding salt makes the dough quite stretchy. That's why you'll be able to twist the dough.You won't really taste the salt, but it will give a light aftertaste. I'd say 1 pinch is approximately 1 g.Please add granulated sugar to your liking.

These are a delicious cookie. If you don't want to use amaretto you can omit it and add extra almond extract. This recipe will yield about 30-50 bars depending on size you cut them to.

A chocolate kiss tops a peanut butter cookie. This is a pretty common cookie style and there's a couple of recipes here already, but they're all a bit...wrong. This recipe is how my family does these, and its great!

I have always been addicted to chewy cookies and chocolate. And I finally found the right recipe for the combination.

This recipe is my son's recipe that he makes every year.

Made these as a throw together alternative- my kids wanted a change from the normal ones. Worked well, they scarf them down!
