I love baking too. I'm going to try the german chocolate cookie tonight for my neighbors. Since I can't eat sweets I use my neighbors as guinea pigs - they don't mind at all.

If you like the salty and sweet mix, the number one request I get is for an oatmeal cookie that has salt sprinkled on the outside. yum. The other popular cookie I make is a sugar cut out cookie with cream cheese in it - it's almost like a cake.

Soxmom, that shortbread sounds interesting, do you mind sharing the recipe?
