Here are a few of my favorites. I made them this year and my family and friends loved them. The first recipe makes a lot! I freeze my cookies in rolls and slice them ~1/4 inch thick as I need them. Bake them according to the directions in the recipe, you may need to add a minute or two to the baking time.
Soft and Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies
6 dozen 25 min 15 min prep
1 1/4 cups sugar
1 1/4 cups firmly packed brown sugar
1 1/4 cups margarine or butter, softened
2 teaspoons vanilla
3 eggs
4 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 (12-24 ounce) package semi-sweet chocolate chips
Heat oven to 375*F.
In large bowl, beat sugar, brown sugar and margarine until light and fluffy.
Add vanilla and eggs; blend well.
Add flour, baking soda and salt; mix well.
Stir in chocolate chips.
Drop dough by rounded tablespoonfuls 2 inches apart onto ungreased cookie sheets.
Bake at 375*F for 8 to 10 minutes or until light golden brown.
Chewy Cranberry Oatmeal Cookies
I keep rolls of it on hand in the freezer and just slice off as many as I want to bake at one time.
48 cookies 31 min 20 min prep
6 3/4 ounces all-purpose flour (1 1/2 c.)
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 1/2 cups old fashioned oats
8 ounces unsalted butter, slightly softened
1 cup packed light brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs, beaten lightly
1 tablespoon honey
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
6 ounces dried cranberries (1 1/3 c.)
5 ounces chopped pecans (about 1 c.)
Oven to 350 degrees F. (if baking right away).
Line sheet pans with parchment.
Mix the dry ingredients together, then stir in the oats.
Set aside.
Beat the butter and both sugars together until light and fluffy.
Add the eggs, then scrape down the bowl; add the honey and vanilla and beat until blended.
Add the flour mixture in two additions, beating each until well combined.
Stir in the cranberries and pecans.
At this point, you can either bake, or freeze.
To freeze, just scrape the dough onto plastic wrap, roll into a log, wrap tightly, and freeze until ready to bake.
Then just take them out of the freezer, let sit for about 15 minutes, then slice into 3/16" thick slices and bake as directed.
To bake immediately: drop by tablespoonfuls about 2 inches apart on parchment lined sheet pans.
Bake until the centers of the cookies are soft and no longer look wet; about 9-11 minutes.
Let cool on the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a rack to cool.
Chewy Cinnamon Cookies (you can add some butterscotch chips to these if you wish)
Ingredients
1 cup(2 sticks) butter, softened
1/4 cup sugar
1 1/4 cup brown sugar, firmly packed
2 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla
2 cups graham cracker crumbs
1 1/2 cups flour
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
Directions
Preheat oven to 350.
Cream together butter and sugars until light and fluffy.
Mix in eggs and vanilla until well combined.
Combine all dry ingredients in a bowl and slowly add to the wet mix.
This is the point when the dough can be frozen.
Scoop the dough out onto a baking sheet by rounded spoonfuls. Leave room for spreading.
Bake at 350 for 9-11 or until slightly browned on the edges.

BUTTERSCOTCH COCONUT COOKIES
Yield: 4 dozen cookies
1 1/3 cups all purpose flour
½ tsp baking powder
½ tsp baking soda
½ cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
½ cup granulated sugar
½ cup firmly packed brown sugar
1 large egg
½ tsp vanilla extract
1 ¾ cups sweetened shredded dried coconut
1 ½ cups butterscotch chips
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Have ready 2 baking sheets lined with parchment paper.
Sift the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together onto a sheet of waxed paper; set aside.
In a large bowl, using an electric mixer on high speed, cream the butter until fluffy and pale yellow. Add the granulated and brown sugars and continue beating until the mixture is no longer gritty when rubbed between your finger and thumb. Add the egg and vanilla and beat on low speed until blended, occasionally stopping the mixer and scraping down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula as needed.
Add the flour mixture to the butter mixture and mix on low speed or stir with a wooden spoon just until blended. Add the coconut and butterscotch chips, mixing or stirring just until blended.
With dampened hands, shape the dough into 1-inch balls or drop by rounded tablespoons onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing the cookies about 2 inches apart.
Bake the cookies until golden brown around the edges, about 15 minutes. Let the cookies cool briefly on the pans on wire racks before transferring them to the racks to cool completely.
