Birthday Cookies
These cookies have a neutral base that lends itself to adding goodies like dried fruit, candies and whatnot. It's a great recipe to tailor to to the taste of a friend or family member for a birthday or for any other occasion.
Preheat Oven to 375 degrees F
3/4 cup butter (softened)
1 cup packed dark brown sugar
1/2 cup sugar (granulated or baker's sugar)
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp salt
2 eggs
1 1/2 cups white flour
2 cups oats
1/2 cup melted peanut butter
In a large bowl, mix sugars, butter, vanilla and eggs.
In a separate bowl mix flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
Beat as much flour into the wet mixture as possible. Add melted peanut butter and beat in remaining flour folding oats into the dough.
Mix in other add-ins such as nuts, raisins, dried fruit chocolate whatnot. I've made this with chopped dried figs chocolate and seasalt and it was just to f*cking die for.
Drop 1/2 inch balls of dough onto cookie sheet with an inch in between lumps.
Bake 8-10 minutes, allow cookies to cool 1 minute (at least) before transferring to another rack to cool.
Yields around 80 or so cookies depending on side.

Not a recipe, but today I saw the most amazing thing EVER. A chocolate chip cookie with an oreo in the center! Probably just take your favorite chocolate chip cookie dough, wrap it around an oreo, and bake. I can't wait to pop this kid out so this gestational diabetes goes away and I can indulge again!

Soft Monster Cookies
Ingredients:
1/2 cup or 1 stick of butter (at room temperature)
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup white sugar
3/4 cup creamy peanut butter
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/4 cups all purpose flour
1/2 cup quick cooking oats
3/4 cup M&Ms
1/4 cup chocolate chips
1/4 peanut butter chips
Directions:
1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
2. Start by combining the butter, brown and white sugars in a large bowl using a hand/stand mixer or your own brute strength. Add the peanut butter, stir again. Add the egg, stir, vanilla stir.
3. Measure in the baking soda and flour and stir just until combined. Stir in the oats, m&ms, chocolate chips and peanut butter chips.
4. Scoop using a cookie scoop (measuring about 2 tablespoons) onto a cookie sheet lined with a Silpat mat or sprayed with cooking spray (just in case). Press down gently as they do not spread on their own.
Bake for 9-10 minutes but no longer. You want these to stay soft. Remove from the oven and let cool on the cookie sheet for 2-3 minutes then move to a cooling rack.

variations:
We have omitted or added ingredients to use what we had on hand.. coconut, rice krispies, peanut butter chips, nuts and so on.. so feel free to play around with the recipes!

My favorite Snickerdoodle recipe.
1 cup butter
1 1/2 cups sugar
2 large eggs
2 3/4 cups flour
2 teaspoons cream of tartar
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons sugar
3 teaspoons cinnamon
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350°F.
Cream butter and sugar until fluffy. Add eggs one at a time.
Combine flour, cream of tartar, baking soda and salt in a separate bowl.
Blend dry ingredients into butter mixture.
Mix 3 tablespoons sugar, and 3 teaspoons cinnamon in a small bowl (if you like more cinnamon, half and half work well, too).
Form 1 1/2" balls of dough, then gently roll into cinnamon/sugar mixture until completely coated.
Place on parchment lined cookie sheet, and flatten each ball slightly with palm of your hand (6 cookies fit well on a standard "half-sheet" sized cookie sheet)
Bake 15 minutes.
Remove from oven, slide parchment from cookie sheet and allow cookies to set for a few minutes before transferring them to cooling rack.
Yield 18 4" round cookies
These cookies should be round, flat, and chewy/soft. These are not cake-like snickerdoodles, they are not dry or crumbly, either. Everything a snickerdoodle should be, by my standards.
