New Year’s Eve Cookies (“Gourmet” M&M cookies)

I really wanted a hot, freshly baked, chocolate chip cookie. We enjoyed my experiment so much I made a second batch with the boys, but made them “gourmet”. I let the boys chose which M&M’s and they chose peanut, peanut butter and a few of the plain ones. They were the perfect “New Year Party” cookies.

“Pirate” Peanut Butter Cookies for “Talk Like a Pirate Day”

The Christie company out of Canada sells boxes of Pirate Oatmeal Peanut Butter Cookies which this is a copycat recipe for. Not sure why they chose the name “Pirate”, but the recipe caught my eye as we were looking for a new way to celebrate “Talk like a Pirate Day” this year. This is a combination of a few recipes and added chocolate chips.

The oatmeal cookies are good plain or filled.

Dan’s Cookies

This recipe from a friend from Patmos. These are good, but missing the extra special something that Dan puts in or maybe the camp atmosphere.

These cookies are a little saltier, so reduce salt if needed. Do NOT use salted butter.
