Happy National Homemade Cookie Day! What's your favorite homemade cookie?

this makes me smile---that your hubby's favorite is one with cocoa krispies, such a childhood fave

for me. a big bowl of cocoa krispies with milk for our evening snack.

 
my little German grandma made her Toll House cookies with a few spoonfuls of Nestle Quik added.

not sure why, but we loved them that way. It's the only American thing she really baked. good memory.

 
Mmmm, all of these sound so gosh-darned delicious. Thank you all for sharing. I have a hard time

nailing down a favorite. Like Melissa, I might be in the.....so many cookies to choose from camp. smileys/wink.gif For the holidays I'd probably have to say my true favorite is Mexican wedding cookies. Other times I adore a reallly good peanut butter cookie. And chocolate dipped macaroons, like the one at the link, are just scrumptious and one I really can't keep around the house very long, for calories'-sake. smileys/smile.gif

For those peanut butter days, you should really try my Peanut Butter Filled Cookies smileys/smile.gif

Everyone LOVES these cookies. They all take a bite, then ask me how I got the peanut butter in the middle! If you like that stick-to-the-roof-of-your-mouth peanut butter feeling, you'll love these!


Peanut Butter Filled Peanut Butter Cookies
2 1/2 cups (12.5 oz) flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt

1 cup (8 oz) butter
1 cup (7 oz) sugar
1 cup (7.5 oz) brown sugar
1 cup (9 oz) peanut butter
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla

Extra peanut butter, for filling cookies (about 3/4 cup or so)

Sift flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt together into a medium bowl, set aside.

Cream butter and both sugars. Add peanut butter and blend. Add eggs and vanilla, mix until well blended.

Add sifted dry ingredients, and stir just until flour is incorporated.

Divide dough into thirds, and roll each portion in waxed paper, forming a log about 2” in diameter. Refrigerate until firm (at least 2 hours or overnight).

Slice rolls into 1/8" thin slices, and place on cookie sheet, about 2” apart. Use a butter knife, and place a dab of peanut butter onto each slice, then top with another slice of dough.

Make criss crosses on each cookie with a fork dipped in sugar. (If the dough is stiff, and the peanut butter squishes out, set it aside for a couple of minutes, until the dough softens a bit.)

The peanut butter doesn't have to be totally enclosed within the slices - so don't get too crazy about it.

Bake at 350º for 12-15 minutes, until golden brown all over.

 
Are these like the ones Starbucks sells around the holidays? If so, I can't be trusted to eat

just one of them....lol.

 
No, cheezz, no weeping that I recall. It's a pretty sturdy batter. They're *really*

nice for tea parties, made in miniature size.

 
These are SOOOOO much better. I find Starbucks pastires rather cardboard-like smileys/smile.gif
