(6,117 posts)350 degrees preheated oven for 12-13 minutes.Watch close or the may burn. Chop and add to cookie dough. The toasting just adds another layer of flavor.

(2,682 posts)Sandies
Russian Tea Cakes
Snowballs
Mexican Wedding cookies
Essentially, powdered sugar, flour, lots of butter, and pecans (I prefer walnuts). Rolled in powdered sugar when they come hot out of the oven.
YUMMMMM
Equinox Moon
(6,344 posts)I think of them around Christmas time.
smirkymonkey

(24,055 posts)...from Scotland is the best there is. Ive tried other brands, and they have all fallen short. I fell in love with Walkers during my first trip to Edinburgh in 1974, and have been a fan ever since.

(34,079 posts)peanut butter, sugar, coconut, snickerdoodle & oatmeal raisin
1 of each!
i couldn't decide so i didn't vote.
yellowdogintexas
(22,277 posts)Basically peanut butter cookie with melted chocolate chips to which you add a bit of peppermint extract.
Marble the chocolate into the peanut butter cookie dough roll in balls and press down with a sugared glass.
Absolutely killer.
orleans

(5,790 posts)It helps keep peace with the missus
IrishEyes
(3,275 posts)I love snickerdoodles as well. Probably because I learned to cook them when I was a kid. They have the best name.
yellowdogintexas
(22,277 posts)Or just nuts.
Or Just chocolate chips
just NO raisins.
IrishEyes

(22,277 posts)Home made, not Pillsbury DoughBoy
Mexican Spicy Chocolate cookies
Lemon
Brown Sugar pecan
and others
Make up the dough shape into logs wrap well and freeze them.
When ready to bake, let them thaw for a bit, slice them and bake them.
Those chocolate cookies are awesome.
Equinox Moon
(6,344 posts)I wish you hadn't told me.
yellowdogintexas
(22,277 posts)and slice off a few and just eat the dough
Damn good dough.
OTOH it is easy to just have a few cookies lying about the house instead of 60 or 75
NewJeffCT
(56,829 posts)plus, Oatmeal and Oatmeal Raisin are my favorite. All 3 are reasons I don't like Girl Scout Cookies at all.

(7,813 posts)Honorable mentions:
Thin Mints
Manischewitz (sp?) chocolate macaroons
edited to add: Tim-Tams. They are from Australia. I used to work for an Australian company and if anyone traveled to Sydney or visited from there, we would tell them that we would not let them in the building without a couple packages. They always obliged. Think of a KitKat candy bar in cookie form. You can get them at Target and well worth looking for on your next trip there.
