Does anyone have cookie recipes that don't have any chocolate or peanut ingredients?
TIA Smile

Oatmeal-Raisin or Oatmeal-Craisin cookies. My kids actually like them better than chocolate chip cookies!

1 cup oil
3/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp. vanilla
1 1/2 cups flour (whole wheat is fine)
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. salt
3 cups oats
1 cup raisins or craisins.

Beat together oil and sugars (it won't cream like margarine, but that's fine.) Add eggs and vanilla and beat well. Add remaining ingredients and mix well. Bake on UNGREASED cookie sheets for 8-10 minutes at 350 F (180 C). Cookies should be soft when you take them out of the oven -- they firm up as they cool.

Just made these. They're awesome. I sub oil for marge, and they come out just as soft and delicious. I plan to try wholewheat one day.

Apple Chunk Oatmeal Cookies (From OvertimeCook - posted on CookKosher.com)

2 cups finely diced apples
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1 cup (2 sticks) butter or margarine
1 cup sugar
1 cup brown sugar
2 eggs
½ Tbsp vanilla extract
3 cups flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
1 pinch nutmeg
1½ cup rolled oats
2 Tbsp flour

Preheat oven to 350.

Dice apples, add lemon juice to keep from going brown.

Mix margarine and sugar until light and fluffy, add eggs and vanilla and mix well.

Sift flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt and nutmeg together and add slowly to the sugar/margarine mixture, mixing well.

Stir in the oats.

Add the 2 TB flour to the apples, and mix into the cookie dough mixture.

Form into round, even cookies shapes (I roll them into balls and flatten them with the palm of my hand).

Bake for about 12 mins. Allow to cool a few minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to continue cooling.

Thanks! I'm going to try these.
If anyone else has any ideas, please share (I never realized how many recipes contain chocolate!)

You can take any chocolate chip cookie recipe and omit the chips. Add in nuts, craisins or raisins or white chocolate chips that aren't real chocolate. Any sugar cookie recipe as well.

Thumbprint Cookies (yummy and pretty but a pain to make)

3/4 cup sugar
3/4 cup margarine
2 eggs
1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
1/2 tsp. almond extract
2 3/4 flour
pinch of salt
ground nuts and jelly for decoration

Cream sugar and margarine well. Add 1 whole egg and 1 egg yolk and save the remaining egg white. Add extracts, flour and salt and mix well.

Prepare in front of you a bowl of ground nuts, a bowl with remaining egg white whisked with 1/4 tsp. water, and a lined and greased cookie sheet.

Roll dough into balls and dip the top of the ball in egg white mixture and then in nuts. Put the ball on the tray and with your finger or the back of a wooden spoon push into the middle of the nut ball all the way down. Bake for 12 minutes at 350 F (do not overbake). While still warm fill the indentation with jelly.
