How did you make your homemade cookies? I've been trying to make one but I couldn't find the right recipe. Can you share please?

I never buy store-bought cookies anymore. I make my own healthier versions...oatmeal raisin is one of my favorites. I also love my mom's homemade Italian cookies.

I like making my own cookies better myself. They seem to taste better if they are homemade cookies.

Oh how I look forward to being fit enough to bake with the kids again! Ours may not turn out so well but the kids prefer them to anything else as they have invested so much time and effort into them! xxx

I love homemade cookies too and they taste better and more original. I do bake cookies if I have time or on vacation. The following is my favourite: CHOCOLATE APRICOT COOKIES (Makes 40) Ingredients 125g butter 140g brown sugar 1 egg 30g cocoa powder 150g flour 1½ teaspoons baking powder 45g coconut, ground 185g dried apricot, chopped into small pieces 265g dark chocolate chips Steps 1. Beat butter with brown sugar with a mixer until smooth. Beat an egg and add into the mixture, mix well, and pour into a large bowl. 2. Sift flour, baking powder and cocoa powder into the mixture, mix well. Add ground cocoa, chopped apricot and dark chocolate chips, mix well and form a firm dough. 3. Cover baking tray with baking paper. Roll around 1 tablespoon of the dough into a ball. Place it on the baking paper (don’t pack them too tight, leave around 1.5 cm space between each dough) and press it to flatten it a little bit. 4. Preheat oven to 180oC. Bake cookies at 180oC for 15 – 20 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from heat and let cool. Ready to serve. (sources: http://www.beauty-tricks.com/beautyforum/viewtopic.php?t=17)

I love homemade cookies, but I'm a lazy cuss.

i love chocolate chip cookies one of my favorites i dont really eat cookies much except for healthy and vegan ones with carob and substitute butter but i can make them with vegan ingredients and once youve got the hang of it theyre really easy to make you can make ones with currants or rasins as well which taste good

You are so good to still be baking. I bet your cookies did not last long. Fresh baked biscuits are the best. We used to make little cakes and those were always best straight from the oven so did not last long. I do my baking out in the sunshine now.

i like the mrs fields ones :) or i microwave the chips ahoys lol we have 3 ovens but im not allowed to use any lol they get mad and say your heating up the house go bake outsidE!!! lol i cant and they know that ! lol

I like homemade cookie =such as peanut cookie (not peanut butter cookie).It's so simple to make and delicious.I like the feeling of melted in your mouth and nutty taste.....
