Cookie contest-need winning recipe

[gogreengowhite]

My work is having a cookie contest and I'm competitive.

So, what would you present as your winning cookie recipe?

I'm going to make two kinds, my first being a chocolate crinkle cookie.

These are my go to cookies that EVERYONE loves...and they're so easy (and gluten free)!

1 cup peanut butter (creamy or crunchy)
1 cup brown sugar
1 egg lightly beaten
1 tsp baking soda
1 cup chocolate chips, reeses pieces, M&M (you can also choose to not put the chips in and top it with a Hershey kiss or reeses PB cups immediately after taking them out of the oven)


Preheat oven to 350*
Mix all ingredients together with a spoon until blended (do not use a mixer)
Drop by spoonful's onto a greased cookie sheet
Bake 9-10 minutes
Let cool and remove from cookie sheet.

I just made these chocolate chip cookies this weekend. The pudding mix makes them really soft and chewy: allrecipes.com/Recipe/Award-Winning-Soft-Chocolate-Chip-Cookies/Detail.aspx?event8=1&prop24=SR_Title&e11=award%20winning%20soft%20chocolate%20chip%20cookies&e8=Quick%20Search&event10=1&e7=%2f404.aspx

These are very good, too: www.mybakingaddiction.com/levain-bakery-copycat-cookies/

Okay, I've been obsessing since you posted your recipe.

What do you think of them with caramel baking chips, sea salt and crushed up pretzels?

Too much?

I've never done anything differently to them but you can certainly try it (maybe half regular, half with something else to see how they taste?). They're really gooey so you may not want to put too much extra in there otherwise they may not stay in cookie form.

I make these every year and they are always a hit.

Italian Cookies with Almond Icing

A winning cookies depends on the crowd.  Generally, I'm not a huge fan of cookies that are loaded with things and super sweet.
Magic in the Middles - more kid friendly but a sufficient balance of cocoa for adults.

Lemon Ginger cookies - one of my favorites - huge hit last christmas

I love Ina Garten's jam thumbprints too - they're always a huge hit.
