Cookie-Palooza

So, last week my laptop went in for repairs. I was completely lost without it, but needless to say I accomplished so much aroud here. Lesson learned - time to shut off the computer once in a while. My house was completely organized by the end of the week and the kids were thrilled with all the baking I did. I went on a bit of a cookie-paloozathon while my laptop was away. I have had a few requests for the recipes so here goes.....
