Oh my gosh those all sound so delicious. The chocolate chip treasure cookies sound like a bar cookie that I used to make years ago. Instead of mixing everything together you just layer all the ingredients in a baking pan and pour the condensed milk over the top and it gets kind of like carmel after it is baked. There was not flour in that recipe though. I might have to try your recipes then bring them across the street to the neighbors. That way I can try one or two and they're not in the house calling my name.

I used to make those magic cookie bars too. These don't have that caramel in them from the condensed milk. They are my hubby's favorite cookies, next to coconut macaroons. I also have a recipe for homemade chocolate covered cherries that is really great, he will hide those to keep them away from everyone else:[IMG]/tongue00

I love coconut macaroons. I have never made them though. Someone brought some into work once that the botoms were covered in chocolate. They were really good.

I have made a cookie that is a fudgy chocolate base, has a maraschino cherry in the middle and is covered with a fudgy chocolate frosting. Is that the one that your husband loves so much? I think it is a BH&G recipe. Let me know if you would like it and I'll dig it out. It's one of the favorites that I would make almost every year.

Thanks Fishlips, I'll stick with the ones that I make, I've posted the recipe if you are interested.
