I wasn’t looking for any particular type of cookies, just something awesome to try out, and when I saw those raisin filled cookies, I knew the search was over. Those look amazing. I’m probably going to have to try substituting the filling for various fruits such as strawberries and blueberries. Yum. Thanks a million Brown Eyed Baker!

Raisin filled is so old school. They were my grandpa’s favorite and were always such a special treat. I cannot think of a better way to remember him by than having one of these cookies.

Can you help, oh Cookie Guru of mine?

The other day I saw on TV a chocolate chip cookie that was super thin. They used flat chocolate chips. Any of your recipes like that? I would love a recipe for them.
Love you site! I want to try everything!

they all look wonderful. I am a huge fan of a good cookie. Crunchy, chocolate-y, or filled with oats and fruit. The perfect snack. 2 cookies and some milk. Thanks for the wonderful selection.

Simple M&M cookies. Even better when the M&Ms are fun festive colors.

The thick and chewy chocolate chip cookies are by far the best chocolate chip cookie I’ve ever had. It has become my go to recipe every time I bake chocolate chip cookies. I combine all purpose flour with white whole wheat flour and they’re still delicious! The peanut butter oatmeal chocolate chip version are also delightful.

  Agreed on the carrot cake cookies! Cookie monster does have it going on, but he never has to squish into a swim suit and come to think of it, doesn’t wear any clothes. Must be nice! Actually, I take that back. I love those peanut butter cup cookies too. All great options to take to the neighbors, new or not!
