Unique Cookie Recipes

[Anna Marie North]

I am a baking fanatic and love to find new recipes. I have cooked my way through the regular recipes like brownies, chocolate chips, snickerdoodles, sugar cookies, and numerous other recipes for cakes and pies. But....what I want to know, dear nerdfighters, is unique new recipes, either online or (if you are so kind and to which point I love you) typed up in a document. My new favorite is Whopper brownies and those are so good. Sadly, I lost the recipe and am in fervent search to find it admist my hundreds of other recipes. 

So, the bottom line: have any ethnic or unique or silly or crazy recipes, please leave them. I will try to make as many as possible. 

Thanks!!

Oh yeah, if you were nice enough to read this far,  I have one more request. My brother just joined to military and I want to send him cookies of some sort. I'm allowed to, so no problem there, but does anybody know of any recipes that won't break in the mail or melt? 

And one more story: I had a dream last night that i made sugar cookies with poppy seeds and when I woke up, I decided to do just that. I am currently waiting for the oven to heat up so I can start. This could be delicious or a disaster....

Danke to anybody who replies

I always make my chocolate chip cookies with a package of pudding. It makes them Extra delicious. I swear.

I have a friend with a recipe for potato chip cookies. They are the most delicious heart attack ever. Recipe copied from her LJ:

"Powdered sugar... I don't know, a couple cups or so
2 sticks of butter
1/2 cup sugar
1 tsp vanilla
1 3/4 cups flour
1/2 cup chopped nuts
1 cup crushed potato chips
Cream butter, sugar, & vanilla. Beat in flour gradually. Stir in nuts and chips by hand. Form into about golf ball-sized spheres and put on an ungreased cookie sheet. Bake at 350 for between 12-15 minutes. While still warm, roll in powdered sugar."

Whenever my mom makes Christmas cookies to mail, one of them generally ends up being oatmeal butterscotch chip. They're yummy. I'm pretty sure that they're just the oatmeal cookies from the oatmeal package with some butterscotch chips. (Which I know sounds lame, but they aren't i promise! /sounds desperate)

The other day randomly decided to make chocolate chip peppermint muffins. I used a chocolate chip muffin mix, but if you have a favourite recipe that would work too. Then just crush up peppermints or candy canes and add them to the mix! Best to eat these when they're still warm, before the peppermints sorta solidify.

Okay, thanks everyone who replied. BTW, the poppy seed cookies turned out fantastic. Now, what I want to do, because I'm over ambitious and this might now work out, is try and fight world suck with cookies. Any ideas how? Support world unity by making ethnic recipes? Selling cookies to people for charity? How can the greatness of cookies team up with the power of nerdfighters?

Help me brainstorm ideas!

And i'll be sure to try every recipe you guys submitted!

I love 'Monster Cookies' they have M&ms and heath bits (when I make them).

Ingredients
* 3 eggs
* 1 1/4 cups packed light brown sugar
* 1 cup granulated sugar
* 1/2 teaspoon salt
* 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
* 1 12-ounce jar peanut butter (whatever kind you like)
* 1 stick butter, softened
* 1/2 cup Mix-ins (nuts or butterscotch chips or M&ms etc.)
* 1/2 cup chocolate chips
* 2 teaspoons baking soda
* 4 1/2 cups quick-cooking oatmeal (not instant)

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line cookie sheets with parchment paper or nonstick baking mats.

In a very large mixing bowl, combine the eggs and sugars. Mix well. Add the salt, vanilla, peanut butter, and butter. Mix well. Stir in the mix-ins, chocolate chips, baking soda, and oatmeal. Drop 2 inches apart onto the prepared cookie sheets.

Bake for 8 to 10 minutes.

I make a recipe that's sort of like this one, but without the chocolate and nuts. They're really good, salty and sweet at the same time, and chewy and crispy.

I also like to make brownie batter and then use it to make cookies.

Those sound delicious! I think I'll make them next time I make cookies.

Mmm, I can vouch for the potato chip ones. Unhealthy, but delicious. I've also had cake batter cookies (I think you have to thicken it, so they stay in cookie-shape) which are soft and good and everything-that-is-awesome-about-cake + everything-that-is-awesome-about-cookies. My dad used to make the oatmeal-butterscotch ones (peanut butter and/or chocolate chips are good, too.) in a pan you'd use to make brownies, so they were square and chewy and thick. In my mind they were better this way, they'd probably travel better too. I don't know. Either way they're yummy.

I know I'm probably not helping, these are only qualitative observations instead of an actual recipe...
