I am baking this week and I was looking for some different cookies to make. Not the standard chocolate chip or oatmeal....etc? Any suggestions? Oh-and they cant contain peanut butter or nuts.

Ginger cookies? Man, I wish I had that recipe I saw the other day. Super yummy. Maybe short bread layer cookies... lemme see if I can find a pic:

I made some super delicious ginger cookies the other day...here's the recipe:

CHEWY GINGER CHRISTMAS COOKIES
2 c. sugar
1 c. molasses
1 c. Crisco
2 eggs
Mix well by hand and add:
2 tsp. soda
4 c. flour
2 tsp. ginger
2 tsp. cinnamon
1 tsp. cloves
1/2 tsp. salt
Mix all together (by hand - not mixer). Roll into balls the size of a small walnut, then roll into red and green colored sugar. Bake at 350 degrees for about 9 minutes. The cookies will look not quite done, but not baking them until hard makes them chewy. The cookies will sink down and have cracks in them.
