Your most unusual COOKIE recipes?

Question

Do you have a cookie recipe that's unusual, odd or "weirdly creative" in some way? If so, I'd like to read it and possibly try making it.

I could look on the internet and find hundreds of cookie recipes, but if I'm going to try one, I'd prefer to hear from someone who has actually made it and likes it! (Kind of like how you wouldn't just go to some random chiropractor, but instead would prefer to visit one who comes with a personal recommendation from a relative or friend.) Thanks all! :)

Answer 3

I made these last week. They were gone in 2 hours! Palmiers (Elephant Ears) Recipe Ingredients Lots of granulated sugar Puff pastry Parchment Paper (aka baking paper) or a Silpat baking mat 1 Preheat oven to 400°F. Sprinkle about 1/4 cup of sugar over your workstation. Roll out the puff pastry to about 10X12 inches. Sprinkle another 1/4 cup of sugar (and spices if using) over the dough. 2 Roll up the left vertical side inward, stopping in the middle of the dough. Roll up the right side of the dough. The two rolls should be meeting at the middle and touching. Press the two sides together gently and let the dough chill in the fridge for at least half an hour. Repeat with any more puff pastry you may have. 3 Starting at one end, cut off pieces of the log, in slices about 1/2 inch in thickness. Lightly sprinkle sugar onto each side. Pinch and press the sides of the two rolls together to ensure that they don't unroll during baking. Place on large parchment lined baking sheets, or a baking sheet lined with a Silpat. They will increase size dramatically, so leave plenty of room between each cookie and only bake a dozen at a time. 4 Set the tray in the middle of the oven. Bake for about 15 minutes or until the sugar has caramelized. (I do flip them over half way) Allow them to cool on a rack for 10 minutes. Serve and enjoy.

Answer 5

Aztec chocolate cookies. I have my own recipe that I developed that I don't share (sorry), but this one looks pretty decent:

1 roll (18 ounces) refrigerated sugar cookie dough
1/4 cup cornmeal
3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper or 1/4 teaspoon chili powder
20 dark chocolate candies (such as Hershey’s Kisses Rich Dark

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Greased cookie sheets.

Break up cookie dough into a large bowl; let sit 10 minutes to soften.

Meanwhile, unwrap candies, reserve.

Add cornmeal, cinnamon and cayenne or chili powder to cookie dough; mix with hands to blend.

Shape a rounded Tablespoon of dough around each candy, covering completely. Place 2-inches apart on prepared cookie sheets.

Bake 11 to 13 minutes.

EDIT: Use ancho chile powder if you can find it.
