I agree, skip the peanut butter. Does it have to be cookies? What about a nice plate of spaghetti and meatballs? Like in _Lady and the Tramp_? Cookies can be eaten so fast, they don’t allow much time for seduction to occur. ---

Homemade fortune cookies containing mildly pornographic/funny fortunes. ---

My husband will do things for and to me that are possibly illegal in some states for the mere _promise_ of [Chocolate Chip Treasure Cookies](http://www.eaglebrand.com/recipes/details/?RecipeId=3936&category=-1). Make this recipe at your own risk. 😃 ---

Ellen, I live out in the county and as far as I know, nothing is illegal here. 😉 However, he does not like coconut… and this recipe calls for a lot. What would you think if I substituted ground up nuts (in addition to the walnuts) and some flax meal? ---

No! No flax meal! I’m saying this as a flax fan, too. No flax. You want him running into your arms, not running to the bathroom. Sigh. These things are the bomb. Sweetened condensed milk! Graham cracker crumbs! I wouldn’t mess with this recipe. Put in the coconut. He’ll never know it’s in there. Well, maybe he will. _thinks_ Pieces of dried cranberry? Raisins? Eye of newt? ---

I highly recommend my famous [pumpkin chocolate chip cookies](http://www.cooks.com/rec/view/0,1810,154175-254200,00.html). I have had people beg and plead for those. ---

I would vote for my chocolate, chocolate-chip cookies with just a touch of cayenne pepper. Isn’t hot, just enough warmth to feel it in your throat. ---

> [@ThelmaLou](#): > > He’s Jewish. Grandparents on both sides were Russian immigrants. Any quintessentially Russian Jewish cookies? [Rugelach](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rugelach).

Okay, Ellen, no flax meal. I’m starting to think an assortment is the way to go. Cover the waterfront, as it were. ---

Try these chocolate chocolate chip cookies. They tast sort of like brownies. [http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Chocolate-Chocolate-Chip-Cookies-I/Detail.aspx](http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Chocolate-Chocolate-Chip-Cookies-I/Detail.aspx) Required adjustments: Leave out the walnuts. Instead of 1 1/2 cups of white sugar use 3/4 cups of both white and brown sugar. Instead of 2 cups of semisweet chips use 1 cup of white, 1 cup of semisweet and one cup of butterscotch chips. Bake a little less than it says (mine are usually between 6 and 7 minutes). I call them my Evil Cookies. They are to die for. (And very simple.) My husband would do anything for my peanut butter cookies but, again, some people aren’t into that. ---

I was in the store the other day and saw the bag of Craisins. So I looked on the back of the bag as suggested by an earlier poster. Recipe involving craisins, brown sugar, white chips (I know they’re not really “chocolate”), and I bought the ingredients. I went to my book club Wednesday night and we exchanged gifts (drew names the previous month- there are 12 of us). What I got was a basket with some random goodies… a chocolate bar, caramel corn, note cards, tea… AND a jar with flour, brown sugar, craisins, white chips… yup: the Craisin Cookie Fixin’s. Seemed like a message from God (or dog). Seduction will commence in the next couple of weeks. He’s very busy this weekend… end of semester. I’m not going to limit myself to this one recipe. Will definitely do some of the others, too. How often would be too often to make cookies for this person? ---

Okay, twickster, what do you think about this: I just remembered that his exW is a professional baker. She treated him like dirt and they haven’t spoken in almost a year, but he did tell me she made fabulous cookies. He never mentioned what kind. Maybe cookies aren’t such a good idea here. Too much baggage. Yeah, I know I’m overthinking.
