Let Loose with 11 Crazy Cookies

Sugar cookies are swell. Chocolate chip is dandy. Linzer are lovely. As far we know, no one's ever complained about a nice ginger snap, or an inoffensive oatmeal.

But that doesn't mean that you can't push the boundaries. In fact, we encourage it. Because everyone always loves a rebel -- especially when it comes to cookies. Add some spice, some zest, and heck, maybe even some cheese. As long as it's a cookie, we'll take one. Or eleven.
