Cookie Craze

Once a year, I spend a day elbow deep in cookie dough.  I usually do like 3-4 different cookies and a couple different truffles.  I've changed out different recipes during the years, but the Oreo Truffles (not pictured) always, always happen.  They are very easy to make and totally delicious.  I kept Paula's Loaded Oatmeal Cookies and Chocolate Peanut Butter Balls (not pictured) from last year, and traded out a couple for Caramel Apple Cider and White Chocolate Pumpkin Spice cookies.  My mother contributed some kind of chewy molasses cookies to the mix.

 

Oreo Truffles- Delicious, chocolate-y, melt-in-your-mouth goodness

Chocolate Peanut Butter Balls- Last year, I thought these were really good.  This year, I thought they were weird.  I'm not really sure what the deal was.  My family thought they were good, but I wasn't a huge fan.  

Loaded Oatmeal Cookies- Soft and LOADED with flavor.  The only thing I don't like about these is that they crumble really easily. 

White Chocolate Pumpkin Spice Cookies- Soft, pumpkin, wonderfulness.  I have found that pumpkin cookies are generally very soft, which I like...and I like pumpkin.  I think I'll be pulling the recipe for these out again next year!

Caramel Apple Cider Cookies- I'm a big fan of apple cider, so I was pretty excited to try these out.  They're good, but they will stick to your teeth or pull them out.  I've found it's effective to nuke them a bit before eating.  I guess you could go all out and dip them in apple cider before eating.
