When you bake cookies do you add things to them like nuts, peanut butter chips, miniature M&M's, chocolate chips, almonds or something differnet? What is your favorite thing to put in cookies and what kind of cookies do you put the item in? I love peanut butter cookies with nuts or chocolate chip cookies with raisons.

Sure! but it depends on the cookie. I don't add raisins to chocolate chip cookies. But I do add them to oatmeal. If I were to add different things into one cookie, Might feel like I was eating more than one cookie at once. Instead of just enjoying the cookie. Peanut butter cookies with chocolate chips are good. Makes me feel like I am eating a reeses cup.

I put chunks of the toffee that I make in my peanut butter cookies. I have also added chocolate chips. I even made some last week with some of the mix from the peanut butter buckeyes that I make in the middle and drizzle them with chocolate.

I just like to put chocolate chips if it is in the recipe, but I haven't really made cookies very much recently. I usually do cut out cookies with sprinkles on them.

My husband Loves to bake cookies, and actually is found baking some at least once a month or more lately. Where I work, and where we attend Church they really enjoy his cookies and always are asking him to make some as well. His favorite he Loves to make are Chocolate Chip, but from time to time he will add M&M's with them to give them a different type of flavor as well.

Hello luvtochat. I see that you are in Nebraska. I am from Scottsbluff Nebraska but now living in South Carolina. I miss the open plains out there. I like to add something extra to my cookies. I watch Dr Oz often and he has a healthy cookie that is out of this world. It is an oatmeal cookie with rolled oats, whole wheat flour Dark chocolate chips, nuts and dried cranberries. Not only are they healthy but they are also very good.

I make Hubby cookies off and on and usually add anything that's on hand from nuts, chips, m&m's, broken pieces of candy bar, coconut...you name it. My Nephew loves helping with that part. [b]~~AT PEACE WITHIN~~ **STAND STRONG IN YOUR BELIEFS**[/b]

Sometimes, I have added things like raisins and chocolate chips. The one thing I really go to town adding things to is zucchini bread. I will put in chocolate chips and peanut butter chips together. I have added banana, I have added carrot, I have added coconut, butterscotch chips, mint chocolate chips (that one was not that great). I love to try out new and creative flavors with my zuchini bread.

I haven't baked in a long time, but I used to add things like macadamia nuts to cookies, along with chocolate chips, or bits of butterscotch. The butterscotch was a favorite among those who had some of the cookies. My mom really used to like to add new things to her cookies.
