This is CookieChick's choice for new cookie this yeart. They're kind of like a Pay Day bar - chewy, peanutty, and salty/sweet. I'm sorry if they look a little beat up. I made a technical error when storing them and they sorta melted together.
One of the gluten-free selections this year. I had never made meringues before, but they turned out pretty good - crispy and chocolatey.
This is the other gluten-free selection. An easy, yummy no-bake cookie made with corn flakes.
. This is Eris' new choice this year. A peanut-banana-chocolate cookie with a bacon garnish! i think Elvis would approve.
I've had a bunch of requests for this recipe. The old recipe card in the photo is in my mother's handwriting. As you will see, I have adjusted it slightly.
The other gluten-free choice this year. I didn't realize until after baking that both varieties this year have almond flavoring (sorry Amelia!). These are crispy/cruncy/chewy and cinnamony.
This is Eris' choice for a new recipe for 2021. The title is self-explanatory. These are like the dessert version of filled pasta - chocolately filling in crisp buttery cookies. I think Eris could have filled them a little more, but they are still quite good.
One of the gluten-free selections this year, this cookie is chocolately and almondy with a nice chew.
This is Eris' pick for 2020. These are like the elf-made grocery store cookies, except better. Made with a peanut butter cookie base and enrobed with chocolate in a "fancy" pattern, these are super delicious.
I found these gluten-free, keto-friendly treats looking for treats for Amelia. it is a bonus that Randal (doing keto) can also enjoy them.
This is another gluten-free goodie for Amelia. they turned out more like candy than cookies - very gooey and chewy.
This is Cookiechick's pick for 2020. In my ongoing obsession with chocolate mint cookies, I picked these. I had never made a crinkle cookie before and these called out to me. Thick, rich, and fudgy with a cool mint topping, I think these are my favorite of the few I have tried in the last several years. My additions to the recipe include using a couple tablespoons of black cocoa and espresso powder to increase the chocolatey goodness. Originally named Mint Crackles, Randal renamed them Chocolate Mint Crack after seeing how many Eris shoved down her throat
My new cookie for 2019 is my own creation - something I'm calling Chocolate Mint Marvels (sort of likeThe Marvelous Mrs. Maisel but different). Basically York Peppermint Patties enveloped in dark chocolate wafers.
Eris' 2019 pick is nominally called Apple Spice Oatmeal Cookies, but we like to refer to them as Apple Crack - so good they're instantly addictive. She also made them by herself without supervision - the second recipe she has done so (after chocolate chip)
This bar cookie comes close to the flair of Randal's favorite candy bar: the Pearson's Salted Nut Roll. To get it even closer, we added marshmallow fluff. He says more double-blind trials will be required. I also substituted some Lyle's Golden syrup for some of the corn syrup - it has a better flavor.
Eris picked out this one. She wanted a special fancy roll out cookie. Also, this one was a milestone for Eris. She mixed, rolled, baked, and assembled these cookies all by herself - in part due to the fact that CookieChick was struck down by the "creeping crud" for a few days and totally useless.
Tiny little lemony sugar cookies painted with our same cookie paint. Eris wanted to find a lemon cookie and was interested in more fancy decorated cookies.
Christmas explosion of art! We are continuing with the planetary theme and you may recognize some planets, stars, galaxies, black holes and other various interplanetary bodies among the decorations this year.
A buttery crisp base topped with chocolate and almonds.
I have spent several years trying to perfect these and I think I have finally done it. the perfect combination of chewy and crisp.
This is Grandma Mamie's recipe. These cookies will never be voted off the island. And make sure to get a nice, tall, cold glass of milk when partaking.
More like candy than a cookie. These helped the Cookiechick get over her fear of caramel.
Randal is not sure why these cookies should ever be baked: they are awesome straight out of the freezer! this one has been retired for the Xmas season of 2018, but is still made throughout the year.
There is no better way to honor Sir Isaac Newton than these delicious cookies we call 1 kg * m / sec2. For those of you who aren't pathological physicis nerds, that's the metric unit of force: the newton. Now with more filling!
Direct from the frozen tundra, these winter wonderland cookies are so cold they don't require refrigeration!
The masterwork cookie of the Cookie Chick. These induce back spasms every year!.
These cookies from Marth Stewarrt joined the island the year she had a wee bit of trouble, so instead of Oatmeal Shortbread, they are ever after Prison cookies!
Originally called 'Mexican Wedding Cakes', that name was immediately dropped when it became clear what they actually looked like! You just can't unsee that.
An obvious pairing with the Penis Cookies.
