Growing up, we didn't do a lot of baking...but I do have memories of me & my sister making peanut butter cookies (Thanks Celine). We used to use a fork to make those criss-cross patterns. Nostalgia...childhood innocence...
These were for my cousin, unfortunately I promised her chewy Mrs. Field-type cookies. I'll have to deliver next time.
Generally speaking, I think there are about 4 main cookie categories:
- Cake-like/Puffy cookies (Pumpkin Cookies)
- Chewy cookies - crispy edges & soft chewy centers (Chocolate Chip)
- Sandies/Shortbread-like dense cookies (Cranberry-Pecan Cookies)
- Crispy cookies - thin or thick (Biscotti)

I like your cookie categories. Every once in a while, I strike cookie gold, but I'm still learning what contributes to the perfect color, texture, taste, everything!
