well, shira, at least there's no BUTTER! They ARE good, though. 1 will satisfy, w/a glass of milk.

I used this recipe today. I doubled the batch and then divided the dough (before the chips were added) into three parts. To one, I added white chips, made very small cookies and put one whole macadamia on top of each one. I put the tiny Reese's pieces in 1/3 and then the Andes bits in the last 1/3. I ended up with TONS of cookies that are all very different.

* 1 cup butter, softened (or you can use margarine)
* 2 cups sugar
* 2 eggs
* 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
* 2 cups all-purpose flour
* 3/4 cup cocoa, Hershey's
* 1 teaspoon baking soda
* 1/2 teaspoon salt
* 2 cups white chocolate chips, Hershey's Premier White Chips

1. Preheat oven to 350°F
2. Beat butter and sugar in large bowl until creamy. Add eggs and vanilla; beat until light and fluffy. Stir together flour, cocoa, baking soda and salt; gradually beat into butter mixture. Stir in white chips. Drop by rounded teaspoons onto ungreased cookie sheet.
3. Bake 8 to 9 minutes. (Do not overbake; cookies will be soft. They will puff while baking; flatten upon cooling.) Cool slightly; remove from cookie sheet to wire rack. Cool completely.

I also made the most DELICIOUS gingersnaps from a traditional Swedish recipe my girlfriend gave me. They were very simple to make, but they have to refrigerate for 24 hours and then be rolled out very thin.

Those sound like the recipe my mom always used when I was younger, JerseyGirl2. Actually, I just made them last week, but put plain chocolate chips in.

These recipes all sound really really good.

Here is one of my favorites. I'll admit, you just need some patience with it. And also better attempted if you have an egg separator, unless you know how to do it without one.

Meringues:
4 egg whites
1 cup of sugar
M&M's
parchament paper

Just take the egg whites and the sugar and mix them together with an electric mixer until the batter forms stiff peaks. Then you spoon the batter onto cookie sheets, which have parchament paper covering them. Then you put the M&M's on for decoration. They go in the oven at 250 degrees for 1 hour. They should be hard and sound hollow when done. This makes about 2 dozen.
