Admit it. You eat dough. I know you do. At the very least, you sample it when you’re baking cookies. Did I mention I’m a mind reader? Yep… you eat dough. Any today I’m going to share a recipe that will take that dough you’ve been munching on to the next level.

This unique and wonderful cookie has some unexpected ingredients. I don’t know about you, but I’ve never put cornflakes in my cookies. It just never occurred to me to do so, and I’ve never run across a recipe that called for it…. until now.

If ever there was a rugged cookie, this is it. A cookie that could saunter into a room in a hat and boots and make every woman’s head turn. A cookie with ripples and ridges in all the right places. A cookie so full of hot goodness, you just can’t help but stand up and grab it by it’s strong, hardy,ripley middle and plunge your teeth into it.

This recipe for German Holiday Oatmeal Cookies from The Gracious Pantry is one of my favorites because of it’s versatility.

The recipe itself is for a healthier basic oatmeal cookie dough that you can add all kinds of flavorful ingredients to.

November’s Secret Ingredient was Cranberries. Not very original, I know. But I love cranberries, so I went with it anyway.

The competitors really seemed to take to the idea. The recipes submitted this past month were incredible creations. In fact, my decision was incredibly difficult to say the least. I can only imagine that as more folks join the competition, choosing a winner will become more and more difficult. What a job I have, eh?

Oh man, oh man. As if my cookie habit wasn’t bad enough, I had to go and find this recipe too.

The blogger I’m sending you to today got this recipe for Blue Dory Cookies from the Blue Dory Inn in RI.
The way she talked about them got me so wrapped up in the story, that I was ready to schedule my next vacation by the time I was done reading. I forgot all about the [...]

I do love a good chocolate chip cookie. Few things in life give me more pleasure, comfort, warmth or a feeling of contentedness. A good chocolate chip cookie can really improve my day, regardless of how bad it’s been. I can just lose myself in the rich aroma as the sweet chocolaty waves wash over me. Follow that up with a glass of milk, and I can forget just about anything.

I gave this Spicy Mexican Chocolate Chip Cookie a try, and I’m so glad I did! They were downright yummy!

I was on twitter, where I follow @dominosugar. They had posted about a recipe on their web site called Pumpkin Scotchies. They sounded wonderful, but I wanted to come up with a naturally sweetened version since I haven’t done a naturally sweetened recipe for a while. So this is my adaptation of their recipe.

Oh yum.
These Lacy Honey Wafers could almost qualify for a chocolate chip cookie, but not.
Did that make any sense? No? Well, you’ll know what I mean when you bake them.  My little bit of craziness will all make sense then, I promise.
I realized over the weekend (while attending the BlogHer Food Conference in San Francisco), [...]

I’ve been running across a lot of chocolate chip cookie recipes lately.
I’m not sure if it’s the time of year, or if there is just some universal force that wants me to bake more chocolate chip cookies. Either way, you won’t find me complaining. I do love me some chocolate chip cookies.
One of my goals [...]

Is there anyone on this planet who does not love toffee? If there is, I’d like to have a few words with you. (~grin).
Toffee is such a fantastic concoction. I love, love, love the flavor and richness it brings to anything is accompanies.
That said, I also love a good chocolate chip cookie. Combine the two, [...]

Well, I have to say that these Classy Chocolate Chip Cookies from the Guilty Kitchen truly are a guilt trip. If you are dieting, you might want to skip these. But if you’re cheating… GO FOR IT!!
These puppies are to die for. There’s just as much brown sugar in them as there is regular white [...]

I swear to you, this will be the last chocolate chip cookie recipe I post for a while. I promise, cross my heart, hope to die…. needles in the eye and all that jazz. You get the idea.
I came across a recipe for Chocolate Chip Cookies with a refreshing twist… Fresh Mint Chocolate Chip Cookies, [...]

Oh dear. I think I’ve really lost my noodles this time. Or should I say cookies. Is it better to say I’ve lost my cookies? No matter. It’s all a bit of flour one way or the other, right?
If you read my blog regularly (I’m sure you do. You do… don’t you? Of course you [...]

This whole week has been about Chocolate Chip Cookies. So what better focus for a Sunday Review than a recipe book on the same subject?
This book is so yummy! The recipes are easy to follow, and the cookies turn out wonderfully! Plus, there are plenty of other desserts you can make too!
If you love Chocolate [...]

Well, I seem to be on a roll with the Chocolate Chip Cookie recipes.  What can I say… I’m dedicated.
I just had to share this one with you. A fabulous lady named Andrea submitted this recipe from all the way down in Arizona, and boy is this one fun for the kids! It makes a [...]

I’m going out on a limb here. I sorely need a new camera. So instead of trying to capture this event with my current camera, I thought I’d try filming it and taking the photos off my flip camera. The photos are not what I usually post here, but I thought they were cute enough to [...]

So if you haven’t already guessed, this week is all about Chocolate Chip Cookies. I didn’t actually plan it this way, it just sort of turned out like that.
I had a bunch of chocolate chip cookie recipes just waiting to be tested, and I just couldn’t put it off any longer (Gee, what a hard [...]

It’s a sickness. I realize this. They should make medication for people like me. Is there some sort of stalker law for cookies? I should be locked up.
Here is yet another wonderful recipe for chocolate chip cookies. But this one adds almonds! Ya, these are pretty tasty.
If I die and go to Heaven, there will [...]

I have to apologize. I really can’t help myself. My favorite cookie in the whole wide world is a really good, fresh out of the oven, chocolate chip cookie (with a glass of milk, of course).
So I just couldn’t pass up a chance to try another of these delectable recipes.
Boy, am I glad I did! [...]

Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy! I found a fabulously gooey cookie recipe for you!
There’s just something about a wonderfully gooey cookie that gets my eye twinkling and my toes wiggling. I just love to bite into a fabulously sinful, ooey-gooey, rich and chewy cookie.
If you do to, then these Chewy Chocolate Chunk Cookies with [...]

If you enjoy shortbread, then these little goodies are a fantastic edition to your recipe box!
I must admit, that for some people, shortbread is an acquired taste. I think the problem stems from the fact that shortbread is not always quite as sweet as a cookie. And lets face it, when you want a real [...]

If you like a surprise in your cookies, I’ve got a fabulous surprise for you today!
The filling in these Almond and Chocolate Filled Butter Cookies is to die for! Ground almonds, vanilla sugar and mini-chocolate chips make up the filling in these delectable little morsels. There’s also cinnamon in the dough. Is that not a [...]

Today is my Birthday. I’m the big 3-5! Yep, middle age is arriving with full force and there ain’t a darn thing I can do about it….. except bake, of course.
Since I’m the only baker in the house, I thought I would bake up something special for my special day. So I gave these Snickerdoodle [...]

In the spirit of  saving “Tatas” everywhere, I’d like to introduce you to this fun and very pink M&M Cookie!
First off, you just can’t go wrong with adding M&M’s to your cookies. It’s a sure thing every time. Don’t you agree? I mean, who doesn’t like M&M’s!?
Second, these cookies are for a good cause! Grant [...]

I was recently interviewed by Women’s Wold Magazine. The reporter wanted to know my opinion on the best store bought cookie dough. It got me to thinking, more specifically, about the best Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough. Ya’ll know how much I LOVE my Chocolate Chip Cookies. I just don’t think life would exist without them. [...]

I love to keep my man happy as much as the next gal. I love it even more when it’s easy to do!
How does that saying go? “The way to a man’s heart is through his stomach“?
Well, when it comes to my man, truer words were never spoken. As long as he has time with [...]

Sigh ~ Oh my, oh my. I’ve died and gone to heaven. I haven’t had Whoppers in so long. Years and years actually. It’s jut not the first sweet treat I think of when I’m at the store. But these cookies have changed all that for sure.
Remember eating Whoppers as a kid? That first shot [...]

I have a rather unusual cookie for you today.
When I say unusual, I don’t mean weird or icky tasting, I just mean different. This is not a Nestle’s Toll House cookies. This is different. Good-different.
This cookie has a very deep flavor. Almost “nutty”, but not quite. I would almost call the flavor “rich”, but that [...]

Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy… do I LOVE caramel! It’s right up there with toffee and chocolate.
In fact, I may have created the perfect cookie here. You see, in addition to what the recipe asks for, I also added 1/2 cup of chocolate chips to the food processor when I ground the pecans, and [...]
