Sugar is a liquid and eggs are a solid. Once you realize that and can keep the proportions of sol. and liq. the same you can experiment a bit with the flavorings, shapes etc. Besides, throw down some homemade rugelach at work and score major credit points :) It’s not the reading that’s hard, it’s just that what you expect is backwards.

Pretty much any cookie will last pretty well, especially if you put them in plastic baggies before shipping. I've had luck with chocolate chip and pumpkin. Brownies are also great. Also, a great trick for un-staling cookies, if they arrive all dried out, is to put a piece of bread in a tupperware with them. The bread comes out hard as a rock, but the cookies get soft. (And then you can soak the bread in milk and eggs and fry it in sugar and oil for the recently blogged pain perdu! Ta-dah!) Yes, I have many suggestions.

Re: MissGinsu's comment, I will emphasize that it's not really a brownie recipe - there's only half a cup of choc chips and a tablespoon of cocoa in the cake. It looks really chocolatey, but BS isn't a big chocolate fan, and he really liked it. And I AM a big chocolate fan, and also really liked it. It's a moistly delicious chocolate-meets-oatmeal-meets-cake-meets heaven taste explosion extravaganza. That's right, I said extravaganza.

I like the oatmeal thing. Can't say I've seen that in a brownie recipe before. Seems like it'd add some fiber and some chewiness. Might have to try this one. Huh… I like the oatmeal thing.
