Look under the lid on the Quaker oats thing. Use that recipe but use golden raisins and McCormick's Saigon Cinnamon.

Yum.

These Chocolate Hazlenut Cookies have turned into a favorite around here for the holidays. They do take a little time, but they're well worth it. They're not cloyingly sweet and they store (and ship) very well.

My only change is to grind up some extra hazelnuts and roll the edge of cookie through them after the chocolate dip.

You guys are great, thanks for all the ideas, I'll let you know which one i choose.

I made the "The Chew" chocolate, chocolate chip cookies with sea salt. The sea salt makes the whole flavor thing just pop in your mouth. I was so surprised.

Thanks to all of you for sharing these and thanks to callmaker for asking for wow cookies .. mission accomplished I think !

*I forgot to note:
For the CHOCOLATE ESPRESSO CHEWS, there's a typo in the recipe. It should be 1 1/4 cups flour NOT 1/4 cup.

I wish I still had my "Joy of Cookies" cookbook, it was the first casualty when Shrek was told he was diabetic.

Chopper, just one question on this recipe. It calls for a "bag" of chocolate chips. I buy mine at Costco - do you think that would work?

Seriously, the cinnamon and ginger sound really good!

I suppose so. Would they be annoying to chew in a cookie?

I made these because my groshree store was giving the Nut-Trition away, free-fer-nuthin. I won't call it peanut butter because it has a whole lot of stuff other than peanuts and salt in it, but I figured it would be okay for cookies.
