Any cookie recipes guaranteed to win a man’s heart? I don’t know what percentage of men respond to cookies, but I’m guessing it’s rather high.
I was thinking of oatmeal-peanut butter with those teeny chocolate chips. A little crispy on the outside and soft-ish on the inside.
Completely open to suggestions. Regarding cookie recipes, that is. 
I don’t have the recipe but my ex-wife makes cookies that have a ridiculous amount of m&ms in them. I’d be willing to bet the batter was 30-40% m&ms (and some chocolate chips). Of course, I really really like m&ms.
Just apply the dough to yourself.
Doesn’t matter what kind.
I think it’s very much a “his mileage may vary” sort of thing. For instance, my husband doesn’t like peanut butter cookies, he likes chocolate chip, and he will do amazing feats for iced oatmeal cookies with raisins in them.
Ixnay on the peanut butter. I love peanut butter, but I hate it in cookies.
Clearly I need to do some more research.
Oatmeal chocolate chip with pecans or walnuts.
There’s a white chocolate, cranberry, and oatmeal cookie that is The. Best. Cookie. Ever. – check the back of the Craisins bag.
I like chocolate cookies with marshmallow backed in the center with chocolate frosting drizzled on the top.
I’d eat them more often but they’re a pain in the ass to make.
Peanut butter and oatmeal are risky. A lot of people don’t like one or the other, or both. If you’re still in ‘shopping’ mode that’s ok, but if you have a chosen target already, you don’t want to freak him out until you’ve intrigued him and opened his mind sufficiently. Then you can break out the metaphorical cookie handcuffs.
Hanaford’s, a NE supermarket chain, has perfected the black and white cookie. Instead of the bland yellow cake that normal black&whites use, they use chocolate cake. Not chocolate, chocolate. With goopy white icing and crusty* chocolate *icing. And as they don’t seem to have any branches in Texas, so he probably hasn’t had them before.
Those are sort of cookie-like. Blondies are another good option, a suprising number of people have never had them, and they’re awesome.
Aside from those, I’ve got nothing.

Delivering them in a maid or supervillian costume wouldn’t hurt, either.
Word.
I haven’t read further down the thread yet, and this is the 3rd *non-peanutbuttieur *response. Learning that NOW can save you from real heartbreak.

As long as they’re hot and served with a cold glass of milk (or a chocolate stout) they will probably be awesome regardless of the recipe.
DEATH to peanut butter!!
I’m likin’ the sound of the craisin thing.
Whole Foods used to have a cake-y cookie thing called UFO’s. They were heaven. Of course they stopped making them.
(See thread on favorite products that are discontinued.)
My wife makes something we call man cookies.
They’re actually sausage balls.
I’m not sure this is the exact recipe I’ve used before, but these white chocolate and macadamia nut cookies are apparently better than sex. You can tell him that this is the claim, at least. If only there were some way to test it.
I have an easy recipe for double-chocolate (or even triple-chocolate) cookies that taste wonderful. If he is like my husband and worships chocolate, I can post the recipe.
So, how YOU doin’? 
Skip the cookies. Go with pumpkin pie. And wear lavender perfume. Loss of Sense of Smell | Chicago, IL
I will see if I can find Ayesha’s recipe for Knock You Naked brownies. Anybody else who has a copy, feel free to post it!
It’s going to be the cookies he remembers his mom or grandmother making when he was a little boy. For me, it’s snickerdoodles. Objectively (if that makes sense) chocolate chip cookies should be better, and tey are good. But make me snickerdoodles and I’m 8 years old again.
You’re going to need to do some research on your own. The answer you seek won’t be found on a message board.
(And yes, my wife makes snickerdoodles the way my grandmother did. Although I didn’t know that when I married her, I just got lucky.)
White chocolate is not chocolate. Blech.
