Trying to find a good cookie recipe for my cousins bridal shower... anyone know a good recipe?

Here's a couple of delicious recipes I've used in the past: Chocolate Mint Cookie Recipe Ingredients: • 3/4 cup butter • 1 1/2 cup firmly packed dark brown sugar • 2 tablespoons water • 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips • 2 large eggs • 2 1/2 cups all purpose flour • 1 1/4 teaspoon baking soda • 1/2 teaspoon salt • green mint wafers (or mix peppermint chocolate as directed below) Chocolate Mint Cookie Directions: In a large saucepan over low heat, cook butter, sugar and water until butter is melted. Add chocolate chips and stir until partially melted. Remove from heat and continue to stir until chocolate is completely melted.

Pour into a large mixer bowl and let stand 10 minutes to cool. Mix at high speed and beat in eggs one at a time. Reduce speed to low and add dry ingredients.

Mix until just blended. Cover dough tightly with plastic wrap and chill for at least one hour until dough is easy to handle. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Line 2 cookie sheets with foil. Roll teaspoonfuls of dough onto cookie sheets 2 inches apart. Bake 12-13 minutes and NO longer.

Cookies should come out of the oven looking slightly underdone. They will crisp when cool. Immediately after taking the chocolate mint cookies out of the oven, place one mint wafer on top of each cookie.

Allow mints to soften; then swirl to cover cookie. Peppermint chocolate can be placed on top of cookies instead of wafers. See note below.

Sprinkles can be added at this point if desired. Making Peppermint Chocolate: You will need 1 cup white chocolate and peppermint extract to make this. Melt the white chocolate in a microwave safe bowl by microwaving for 30 secs and then stirring.

Repeat until chocolate is partially melted. Remove from microwave and continue stirring until chocolate is completely melted. At this point add 2-4 drops of peppermint extract and food coloring if desired.

Oatmeal Cookie Recipe Ingredients • 2/3 cup sugar • 2/3 cup packed brown sugar • 1/2 cup butter, softened • 1/2 cup butter shortening • 1 teaspoon baking soda • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon • 1 teaspoon vanilla • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder • 1/2 teaspoon salt • 2 large eggs • 3 cups old fashioned or quick cooking oats • 1 cup all purpose flour • 1 cup raisins Directions: Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Mix all ingredients, except oats, flour and raisins, in a large bowl. Stir in oats, flour, and raisins.

Drop dough by rounded tablespoonfuls 2 inches apart onto an ungreased cookie sheet. Bake 9 to 11 minutes or until light brown. Immediately remove from cookie sheet to a wire rack for cooling.

The cookies will overcook if left on cookie sheet.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
