There is only one kind of cookie that my family will eat....Chocolate Chip.
I don't even bother with any other kind as they will NOT eat anything else! Every now and then I make my favorite gingersnaps, but they last forever so I have to share with my friends. This is the best chocolate chip cookie recipe (the tablespoon of vanilla makes a huge difference in taste!) I also use ground whole wheat flour which is yummy, too. My children are slowly getting switched over to wheat without any more grumbling (that's my BIG kid children, the little ones are just glad to have homemade cookies.)
