Chocolate-drop Cookies
I spent the holiday season whipping up batches of cookies to share as party favors. I made sure everyone got a taste, but to my surprise, my cookies were so irresistible that some guests could not resist eating more than their fair share. What I loved more than watching the cheer on their faces as they took the first bite, was how vocal they were about the freshly baked aroma that greeted them before I had a chance to throw in a hug. The sight of the beautifully arranged cookies brought smiles to their faces, and they happily indulged throughout the evening, leaving with eager anticipation for more.
I can only hope that they enjoy being hosted as much as I enjoy hosting. For me, that joy is unmatched!

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Prepare cookie sheets with parchment and set aside
- 2
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, and baking powder. Set aside for later
- 3
In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar just until incorporated (2–3 minutes). Beat in the egg yolks and vanilla until pale and fluffy (to avoid overmixing and breaking the butter, this should take 1-2 minutes)
- 4
Add in the dry ingredients and mix just until combined. Scoop about a tablespoon of dough repeatedly until you get 28 to 32 portions, then roll into balls and lay them onto the prepared parchment sheets
- 5
Using a round ¼ teaspoon, gently press down in the center of each dough ball to create an indentation. Chill for at least an hour (this will help keep them steady without going too flat when in the oven)
- 6
In the last 15 to 20 minutes of chilling the dough, preheat the oven to 350C. Set dough about 1 ½ inches apart on the baking sheets and bake for 10 minutes
- 7
Take cookies out of the oven and immediately lightly press down on the centers again with a ¼ tsp to retain the indent before they cool completely
If dissatisfied with the shapes or sizes of the cookies while they are still hot, gently use a water glass or party cup in a circular motion around the edges to adjust them
Cool on the pan for 5 minutes then move them to a rack to cool completely
- 8
Meanwhile, microwave the whipping cream until just about boiling (begin with 1/4 cup if using Bailey's chocolates as the Irish cream center substitutes some of the required whipping cream). Stir cream into a small bowl with the chocolates until melted and thoroughly combined
- 9
Once cookies are cooled, fill each center with melted chocolate. If topping with sprinkles, do so before the chocolate sets. Refrigerate cookies until the chocolate sets (15-20 minutes)

These peanut butter cookies are amazing! I think these are better than my other recipe. They are soft and chewy. Tip: bang cookie tray on counter 3 times and let them cool Halfway. Do not eat them straight away because they won't have as much depth in flavor. The cookies are best eaten slightly warm. Enjoy :)Makes 16 cookies. I put 8 servings because your going to want more than one ;p

Colorful Microwaved Cookies Colorful Microwaved Cookies
I was looking for a recipe for microwaved cookies that even kids could make, and I tried this! I often used to make pancake mix this way too.The cookies will bake from the inside, so even if the surface isn't baked, they might still be done. Check on them and adjust the time between 3 - 3.5 minutes as necessary. For about 20 cookies. Recipe by ochikeron
