Chocolate Chip Crunchewy Cookies, Cowboy Cookies, and more

by Laura

So yesterday I kicked off “Sweet Treat Week” with bars and brownies, today it’s cookies. C&H®/Domino Sugar has a great website this year to help with holiday baking and gift giving. It has gift ideas, a whole planning page for a cookie exchange, recipes for edible ornaments, and more. They asked me to participate by choosing a recipe from the site to try out. Then they sent me a $20 gift card to use toward purchasing ingredients. There was lots of fun ideas and recipes on there. I finally decided to try the Chocolate Chip Crunchewy Cookies.

The recipe was developed by an 8 year old Iowa boy, named Alex along with his mom Amy Hilmes. The recipe won first place in a state fair contest. So, I figured it had to be a winner. Part of the reason I picked this cookie is because of the interesting ingredients in the recipe. I have never made a cookie with Capt’n Crunch cereal in it. I thought it would be interesting to try and would definitely be different for you to take to a holiday party or cookie exchange.

The chocolate chip crunchewy cookies were yummy.

It is a very crisp and crunchy cookie. Similar to that of a Chips Ahoy cookie. I loved the flavor and crunch of this cookie, but I would recommend altering it slightly. I thought the cookie was a little salty, so I’d reduce the salt to start. Then as I was scooping the cookies, as I got down to the bottom of the bowl I was left with a lot of chocolate chips, Capt’n Crunch, etc with no batter to go with it. I think there was a little too much of all the “mix in” ingredients so I highly recommend reducing some of the amounts. I have made suggestions off to the side in the recipe below.

Then I am also including a recipe for a delicious cookie that my father-in-law makes all the time.  He is famous for these cookies and his yummy omelets.  This is a delicious variation of a chocolate cookie.  I still can’t figure out why mine don’t taste as good as his.   I finally decided his taste better because I didn’t have to make them.

Finally, I am sharing my “Top 10 Cookie Recipes” from my archives.

  • Easy Sugar Cookies – this recipe requires no rolling or cutting.  They are great plain or topped with frosting.  You could even use food coloring in the dough to make them look festive.
  • Cake Mix Cookies – this fun cookies all starts with a cake mix.  The variations are endless.   There are all kinds of fun mix ins you can find at the store on the baking isle to add to these.
  • Chocolate Chip Cookies – this is my favorite classic chocolate chip cookie recipe.
  • Root Beer Cookies – a yummy cookie version with root beer flavor.
  • Peanut Butter Cookies – my favorite peanut butter cookie recipe.  Make them with or without chocolate chips.
  • Homemade Oreos – these yummy cookies can be made festive by coloring the filling red or green.
  • Sugar Cookies – this is my go to recipe for cut out sugar cookies.
  • Ginger Snaps – another classic. Another of my go to recipes.  It’s nice and chewy.
  • Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies – another family favorite.  Also yummy to make with cinnamon chips.
  • Burke’s Crunch Cookies – another fun twist on the classic chocolate chip cookie with rice krispies and coconut.
Dinner’s on Me Cookie Exchange 2009?


With this post I am also participating in a virtual cookie exchange! What could be better, the actual cookies or course, but this is still fun.  Just imagine taking a big bite of the cookie below with a big glass of milk to chase it down.  There’s your virtual cookie exchange.

I want to begin as an on line marketer, though I am not sure how to start. My friend said that Ebay is the easiest affiliate network program for noobs. What do you feel? Thank you.

I can almost smell this already, it’s a shame I don’t have the ingredients in the house time, else I would’ve made one (or two ;)) directly.
