Tired of baking the same old cookies?

If it's a special occasion, make the cookies special, the results will be sure to add fresh glamour to the event. If you're throwing a party, make the cookies something worth writing home about
Try different kinds of cookies.
If your go-to recipe is a drop cookie (and whose isn't?), try making bar cookies instead. They're even simpler to make than drop cookies Rolled cookies can add a little pizzazz to your dessert tray without entailing much extra effort. If children are there, let them help decorate cutout cookies or spoon out no-bake cookies onto wax paper to cool.
Experiment with unique ingredients.
Most cookies will tolerate any number of additions, so feel free to play with them and try out new flavor and texture combinations. If you're used to making basic brownies for your crowd, try making lemon bars for a change. Sandwich cookies are a creative paradise, because you can introduce any number of flavor and color variations. Likewise, oatmeal cookies taste great with any number of ingredients added to them.
Learn how to make your favorite store-bought cookie yourself.
I've already mentioned sandwich cookies; the ones you make at home are healthier because they lack the preservatives that are added to the store-bought variety. If you like ginger snaps, you can easily make your own. The same goes for snicker doodles, macaroons, oatmeal drop cookies, and chocolate chip cookies. Prefer your cookies crunchy? Then make them crunchy. Prefer them chewy? Make them according to your own liking.
