Got together with some friends this weekend to bake cookies for the holidays, and other than the traditional sugar cookies sprinkled with colored sugar crystals that I make every year, I was drawing a blank on what other cookies to make. A shout-out on Twitter for cookie ideas, a peek in my on-line bookmark folder, and a poke around the internet (my cookbooks now live in Philly while I'm still in Wilmington, so couldn't look in those) proved fruitful.Coconut Macaroon Bars, Caramel Stuffed Apple Cider Cookies (these look so interesting) , Jan Hagels (a Dutch cookie), Chocolate Thumbprints, Chocolate Chip Cookies (The NY Times 36-hour-rested-dough internet sensation) and Mandelbrot all came in as suggestions on my Twitter feed.
Baker E's fabulous cookies can be purchased at A Full Plate Cafe, Home Slice Pizzeria, and Green Aisle Grocery, but if you mine her blog, Foodaphilia, you'll stumble on a recipe for one of her favorite holiday cookies, Chewy Ginger Molasses Cookies, and everyone's favorite, Coconut Almond Toffee Crunch Cookies.
Last year Gourmet rounded up their favorite cookies from seven decades of publication - quite a few of these recipes got bookmarked.
