Ok, So my youngest daugher's MIL gave her son, DD's DH, a recipe that make an very tasty peanut butter cookie. When I first saw the recipe, I though that it wouldn't work. But they made it and the cookies were very good, once cooled. Here it is:
1 cup sugar
1 cup peanut butter
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1 large egg
Combine and mix thoroughly. Bake at 350' for 15 to 20 minutes. Let cool completely to firm up.
My wife loves these cookies. But you know me; I have to experiment. I ate a piece of one just a little while ago and concentrated on the flavors and texture of the cookie, It was crisp, but not hard. It was very sweet, and had a strong peanut butter favor. And it reminded me of a once favorite, the white chocolate, macadamia nut cookie. That inspired me to open this post with ideas that should create some very memorable cookies. Here goes.
First, this one is tried and true. I made these for a lady who held an art showing at her house, along with several other kinds of cookies. These were an outrageous hit. Eveeryone loved them, and they went fast. I give you the Nestle Tollhouse with bacon cookie.

Shortbread cookies
We all ove pecan shortbread cookies. Well, what if you were to substitute the pecans out and use hazelnuts instead, and throw in some good chocolate chunks into the nix? Oh my!
Now, it's your turn. Think about your favorite cookies, what you know about ingredient interactions, and alter your favorites, but changing nuts, or leavening agents, or add fruits like dried blueberries, or cranberries, or raisins.
