Amaranth Ginger Cookies

A very crisp cookie with the goodness of amaranth grains and oatmeal for extra fiber for your midday snack.

Minty Chocolate Chip Cookies

These taste like a hybrid of a chocolate chip cookie and a Girl Scouts Thin Mint®. I like to make these the week leading up to Christmas as a change from traditional holiday cookies.

Susan’s Celestials

Back in the ’70s, these were popular in our health food store. When I couldn’t find them anymore, I had to make my own.

Medenjaci (Croatian Honey Spice Cookies)

Perfect, traditional Christmas cookies full of flavor. Not too sweet, easy to make and easy to store in an airtight container for a week or two.

This is a popular Indian dessert recipe that I got from my Indian coworker’s wife. It is VERY sweet, so if you don’t like overly sweet desserts, you might want to adjust the semolina/sugar ratio accordingly.

Gluten-Free Coconut Lime Cookies

Gluten-free cookies with the taste of coconut and lime. Grate the whole lime, use about half of it for the juice.

Gluten Free Gingerbread Drops

These pinto bean cookies use a small amount of rice flour and small amount of amaranth for grains. These are not overly sweet cookies, since molasses and raisins are the only sweeteners.

Almond-Blueberry Oatmeal De-lites

Wanted to come up with a new cookie using sugar substitutes that were fun and flavorful. Starting with a basic oatmeal cookie recipe, I decided to add blueberries and almond slices instead of raisins and chocolate chips. First time I ever made them, and they look, smell, and taste amazing.

Imperial Cinnamon Red Hot® Cookies

A twist on a white chocolate toffee cookie recipe: added cinnamon to the dough, and replaced the white chocolate chips and toffee with cinnamon chips and imperial Red Hots®. These are a hit with family and friends!

Caramel Pecan Cinnamon Roll Cookies

This is a nice chewy cookie that has the flavors of a good cinnamon roll. A family favorite.

Peanut Butter Energy Balls

You’d never know these yummy little balls are actually healthy! With the main ingredients being wheat germ and peanut butter, they are full of protein! Kids love them! Add chocolate chips, raisins, or coconut to the mix. Rolling in coconut is also delicious!

George’s Fruit Cookies

A man named George gave my mother this recipe when he was eating lunch one day while putting in a new furnace over 50 years ago!

Beer Nut Cookies

Also good with honey-roasted and salted nuts.

Christmas Rocks

Cookies with currants, pecans, raisins, candied pineapple, citron, dates and spices.

Sunflower Drop Cookies

Good, slightly different because of the sunflower seeds

Choc-illa Chip Cookies

Crisp on the outside, soft on the inside, and delicious!

Chocolate Chip Meringue Cookies

A delicate cookie that’s crispy on the outside and soft and fudgy on the inside. A treat for the whole family!

Chickpea Flour Chocolate Chunk Cookies (With Peanut Butter and Oats)

These cookies are gluten-free, and have great taste and texture, like better gourmet cookies. The flour is entirely chickpea with a touch of corn starch. The peanut butter removes the strange chickpea-flour taste. A little extra vanilla wouldn’t hurt things either. These are really good!

Nutella® Peanut Butter Pretzel Cookies

This is an easy base recipe. Feel free to mix up the flavors! Leave out the peanut butter for any allergies. Instead of Nutella® and pretzels, try white chocolate chips and macadamia nuts.
