LOL! Thanks for not flaming me!
I made the standard Toll House Choc Chip Cookies every time.
This morning I asked him what other kinds of cookies he likes. Peanut butter cookies and oatmeal with raisin are approved alternatives.
I do have a great recipe for PB cookies from an old Betty Crocker book. These turn out so good and look like they belong in a really good bakery:
PB Cookies
__________
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup real butter, softened
1/2 cup peanut butter
1 egg
1 1/4 cups flour
3/4 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
*note: I add vanilla although it is not in the recipe. A bit more flour has to be added when one tsp vanilla goes in the batter.
Mix sugars,butter,PB,egg.
Stir in remaining ingredients.
Heat oven to 375 degrees.
Lightly grease 2 cookie sheets.
Roll dough in hands to desired size and flatten with a fork in a criss-cross pattern, and sprinkle each flattened cookie with granulated sugar before baking.
Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until cookies are slightly browned on top.
Yield, about 18 large cookies.
Best oatmeal raisin recipe is on the inside of the lid of a large container of Quaker Oats. They’re called “Incredible Disappearing Oatmeal Cookies”.

My dear Mom made the best oatmeal cookies anywhere, but I haven’t been able to find the recipe yet. She used to use either raisins or currants and put them in a small pan with some water and just bring them to a boil then let them cool. This made for the moistest cookies ever and were always gone in minutes from the oven.
Congratulations on your cookie diplomacy results. It is very gratifying to share the truth and have it received.
