Looking for a WOW recipe

There are lots of awesome recipes for cookies online. I also check for new ideas at the "Joy of Cooking", my Bible as cooking goes. But it much depends on people´s tastes so if you are going to share with other people, I would choose a recipe that could be liked be everyone. I love the easy sugar cookies or lemon cookies. If you want to add something special to them, make a mark on them in the center with your fingertip and fill the dent with jam.

The cookies I usually end up making all the time are chocolate chip, m&m, oatmeal, and snicker doodles. Sometimes I mix the chocolate chips in the m&m cookies as well. I've never made monster cookies but I guess those are the basic chocolate chip recipe but adding all kinds of goodies to them. Something popped into my head this past week that I had not thought about since I was a child. In second grade our teacher had us make gum drop cookies. I never liked gum drops or any of those gummy type candies when I was young. Now I do like them and for some reason those gum drop cookies came to my mind. I have been thinking about finding a recipe for those, unless the chocolate chip (which is actually my m&m recipe) recipe will work for gum drops too. I have a cookie recipe book. I used to have a bunch of them but they are long gone. Now I just go online to find recipes. There is an old sugar cookie I would love to have the recipe for. The only thing is I don't know how to ask for the recipe because it is just a sugar cookie. It becomes a matter of trial and error. I love cut out cookies for decorating. But the only recipe I use for cut outs right now is a short bread cookie recipe. It is very simple to make with only 4 ingredients. I am sure you can find it or a similar one online. Keep looking, and you will find something that appeals to you to try new this year.

I make white chocolate chip lemon sugar cookies. A lot of people have never tasted them. Gave some to a neighbor and she started hinting I had not made some in awhile LOL Also to give a twist on your sugar cookies, once you made the dough, divide in half add some red food coloring to one half of dough. roll a white and red piece of dough and twist. they will turn out to be peppermint sticks or make the bend and you have a candy cane. There is also a recipe for cake balls that look just like cookies. REALLY easy to make. Message me and I will send you the recipe if you want any of these.
