Steps:

• In a large bowl, cream together the shortening and sugar until smooth. Beat in the eggs one at a time then stir in the vanilla. Combine the flour, cocoa, baking powder and salt; stir into the creamed mixture. Stir in walnuts if desired. Cover dough and chill for at least one hour.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Roll the dough into walnut sized balls. Roll the balls in confectioners' sugar. Place the cookies 2 inches apart onto the cookie sheet.
• Bake for 10 to 12 minutes in the preheated oven. Allow cookies to cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375.
• Cream butter until smooth.
• Add peanut butter, sugar, egg an vanilla; beat well.
• In a separate bowl combine flour, wheat germ, dry milk, baking powder and baking soda.
• Add the dry infredients to the wet and stir well.
• Add milk, oats and raisins and mix.
• On a greased cookie sheet place a heaping spoonful of dough and spread it into a circle leaving an inch or more between cookies.
• Sprinkle with sesamee seeds, if desired, and press into dough.
• Bake for 10-12 minutes.
• Allow cookies to cool before removing as they are very fragile while warm.

Steps:

• Cream together butter, peanut butter, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla.
• Combine flour, wheat germ, dry milk, salt, baking powder, and baking soda; stir together lightly.
• Add flour mixture to creamed mixture; stir.
• Add together liquid milk, oats, raisins, sunflower seeds, coconut, and chopped dates; mix well.
• If desired, combine optional ingredients equal to 1-2 cups and add to oat& seed mixture; mix well.
• Depending upon what you add, you may want to increase the liquid a bit to make sure everything holds together.
• Add oat& seed mixture to flour/creamed mixture combo; mix well.
• Roll dough into 1-2" balls; yield will vary by size of cookies.
• Press rolled dough into a pattie shape and press into sesame seeds, if desired.
• Bake on greased cookie sheet for approx 12 min at 375F.
• Watch closely to avoid scorching, especially if rolled in seeds.
• Store in airtight container.

Steps:

• Sift the flour, kosher salt, baking powder and baking soda together in a large bowl.
• Beat the butter and brown sugar in a large bowl with an electric mixer (or using a stand mixer fitter with the paddle attachment) on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Beat in the egg and yolk, then beat in the vanilla.
• Reduce the mixer speed to low. Add the dry ingredients and beat until well combined, about 1 minute. Fold in the chocolate chips and walnuts, then fold in the rhubarb. Cover the bowl with a clean dish towel and refrigerate the dough for at least 1 hour or up to overnight.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with reusable nonstick mats (or parchment).
• Use a 1-ounce ice cream scoop to scoop the dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing about 2 inches apart (you should have about 10 cookies, roughly 1 1/2 ounces each, per baking sheet). Sprinkle the sea salt on top of the dough balls.
• Bake, rotating the baking sheets from top to bottom and front to back halfway through, until the cookies are golden around the edges but still soft in the middle, 14 to 16 minutes. Let cookies cool for 10 minutes on the baking sheets, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely, about 30 minutes.
• Store the cookies in a tightly sealed container at room temperature for up to 5 days.

Steps:

• Sift the flour, baking powder, and salt together and set aside.
• In a mixer with a paddle attachment cream the butter well; then add the sugar and continue creaming until light and fluffy. Add the eggs 1 at a time and then the vanilla.
• On the low setting, add the dry ingredients and mix just until combined. Divide the dough in half and return half the dough to the mixer. Add the warm melted chocolate and mix to combine. Shape both pieces of dough into 4 by 4-inch square, and wrap them in plastic wrap and chill for 30 minutes.
• Cut each square into 4 strips then place them on a sheet pan and keep chilled while you roll out the dough. Between pieces of parchment paper, roll out a piece of chocolate dough into a rectangle 6 by 7 inches (have a ruler nearby). Roll a piece of vanilla dough out into a 6 by 6-inch square. Peel off the top pieces of parchment from both doughs and flip the vanilla dough onto the chocolate, allowing 1/2-inch border of chocolate dough around the top and bottom. Press the 2 doughs together lightly with a cake pan or other flat pan. Peel off the top piece of parchment and fold the 1/2-inch of over hanging chocolate dough up and over the vanilla dough. Use the parchment to roll up the dough into a tight pinwheel. Wrap in plastic wrap and chill 4 to 5 hours (roll the dough a couple times the first hour so it doesn't develop a flat side). Repeat with the remaining pieces of dough.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Butter a sheet pan. Unwrap the roll and cut into 1/4-inch slices. Place them 1 1/2 inches apart on the sheet pan and bake for 9 to 11 minutes.
