I just made a batch of these. Ten minutes at 375 was just right for wonderful soft sugar cookies. Jon really loved these.

Jon's brother used to give me cookie cookbooks every year for Christmas. He also always expected a nice big batch of cookies when we all have Christmas dinner at his Dads lol. One of Jons fav cookies are eggnog cookies. He loves those around the holidays.

When I was little, my Mom added orange zest to both sugar cookie dough and glaze for sugar cookies- this simple added step added SO MUCH to the cookies!
 
I made a batch of these this evening. I was craving a warm home baked cookie. I used 1 cup reese peanut butter chips and 1 cup milk chocolate chips. VERY yummy! I left out the peanuts. Jon doesnt like them.

I Love pb, with chocolate. These cookies sound so good. I have this cookbook but never made that cookie recipe before. I made the Island cookies before the recipe is in that book. I Love coconut & chocolate together also. (I haven't made 70 most requested cookies and bars and brownies) yet... lol Cookies :)
 
I try one and really like it and thats the one I keep going back to instead of giving another recipe a try lol.
Pb and chocolate are my fav to. Sometimes when I make fudge I like to make pb and chocolate and then swirl them together.
