6. S’Mores Stuffed Cookies



To insure your cookie doesn't turn into a big puddle with graham cracker poking out, refrigerate your cookies before you bake them. 10 to 15 minutes should do the trick — no longer than an hour though, or your marshmallows won't melt while baking!

7. Peanut Butter Oatmeal Cookies





These Peanut Butter Oatmeal Cookies are good. I don’t really like peanut butter cookies but add the oatmeal and I’m a fan! My sister requested PB cookies last week and I found this recipe. So easy, so fast, SO chewy..

9. BETTER than Doubletree Chocolate Chip Cookies




These were great. After I cooled them in the fridge, I put the trays in the freezer and once frozen put them in ziplock bags (12 cookies) for baking at a later date. I substituted walnuts (because I didn’t have any) for toffee bits.

11. Gooey Butter Cookie



These are DELICIOUS!! I just made a batch, and even my non-sweet tooth husband is impressed. He ate 3, which is not something he does with cookies, so you know they are good! And my 7 year old, who didn’t want me to make them at all (“a BUTTER cookie??”) is raving about them and had to be cut off. ;) Definitely putting this recipe in my recipe box..
