Help me decide on cookies
Since this worked so well last time for the afternoon tea party, I figured I'd do it again. As some of you know, I'll be taking part in a cookie swap next weekend, and I was looking through my recipes for interesting cookie recipes. Not the usual chocolate chip or oatmeal cookies, and not the only-for-the-sake-of-decorating sugar cookies. Something with a bit more flavor complexity.

Thus, I seek your input! See below some of the options I'm considering. I've linked to pictures/recipes where I can, and provided a brief description where no pictures are available.

If you feel like making extra dough (or less delicious lemon curd), this would also be a fun one to let people personalize. They can bring their favorite fruit preserve, jam, whathaveyou as fillling. With the cutout version, it'd be super pretty to have all different color fillings.

Those ginger snaps you made were super delicious!!! You should make them all the time :)

Also, the super classic "regular" chocolate chip cookies (but with white chocolate). Mhm.... hot and chewy...
