Fun Cookie Baking Ideas

If you or your family are bored with eating the same cookies why not try something a little different? Say goodbye to your Oatmeal and raisin or Chocolate Chip, not that I could ever give up the latter completely, and be a bit more inventive.

I am however, open to all suggestions and am willing to experiment with different flavors. If you don't try you never know, that's my motto in the kitchen.

There are a few new cookies which I've tried lately, and I'm so glad that I did. Here are a few of the ones I made that were really tasty and will definitely be on my list from now on when baking day comes around.

The first new way I tried was to make my cookies from a cake mixture. They are really tasty, and you even get the authentic cracks in the cookies. The beauty of this is the variety of flavors you can buy a cake mix in.

The next one I tried was using dough made from peanut butter. You can make this yourself or buy it ready made. When you take the cookies from the oven create a space inside each cookie and pop in a peanut butter cup, get the picture?

If you prefer your chocolate to be white rather than brown, then a great combination for cookies is white chocolate with cranberry. The two flavors blend together within the cookie to create a taste sensation. These have proved to be very popular and I'm being asked now to make them for people.

My last suggestion for today is to get your cookie dough and throw in some butter toffee, chocolate chips and cherry. Very sweet and delicious, these will soon become a firm favorite in your household.

The great thing about baking cookies is that there are no rules. You may have some great ideas yourself, don't keep them as ideas, give them a go. Try some of my ideas with some of your own, you should enjoy both making and eating cookies.
