First up, Blueberry & White Chocolate Chunk Ginger Cookies (what a mouthful!). A twist on the oatmeal raisin cookie it seems, I liked the goodness from blueberries and ginger.
The other recipe I tried out were Apricot Butter Cookies, which had the unique addition of dried thyme. To make these a real test, I tried using the Smart Balance 50/50 Unsalted Butter that I've seen in the store. I'd been intrigued and wanted to see if my testers could tell that real butter wasn't used. This was a winning flavor combination, and best of all my grandfather enjoyed the butter :) hehe, he's a stickler!

Damn, I want a "thank you" package from you too!! :-D
those cookies sounds so interesting! so many fun flavors!
They both look so delicious! I found the blueberry & ginger ones especially appealing. Love the flavors!
Both sound so yummy and original! Blueberries and ginger would be fantastic, I think. And thyme with apricot? Hmmm. I think I need a tester to be sure ;)
Holy yummy~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
these cookies looks so good!!!
I bet those will make beautiful and delicious gifts! Nice work! I'm jealous of your friends ;)
That is awesome that you used smart balance . Hope you had a nice Thanksgiving!
Two yummy cookies! Great job!
Smart balance is great :) I love it!
The cookies look delicious.
YUM!! Love the cookies - your friends are very lucky to have you!!
I would DEFINITLEY make this-i am just not a huge fan of bluberry--is it possible to omit that?
lee- totally! i can see dried cherries going quite well with this, or apricots. :)
omg i'm totally going to have to make those cookies for my family; we just bought dried blueberries!
great job!
Nothing like getting gramp's approval!

where shall I send my mailing address to again??
I love me some ginger. remind me to get on your good side next year!
what great flavor combinations!! wow.
Yummy! Whenever I try to bake something other than muffins or bread w/ blueberries it always ends up soggy.
Oh how I love cookies!! They both look good!
Oooh it's Christmas cookie time! My favorite. How are those Eating Well cookies? I'm suspicious...
Simply delicious - I wouldn't mind a couple dozen of each, please. :)
YUM! They both sound really great. I saw Giada DeLaurentiis on the food network make a blueberry cookie once and have wanted to try it! She used lemon with them, but the ginger sounds really good too.
I love apricot anything and I really love this recipe.
Btw, I use smart balance a lot. I tried the 50/50 blend recently too. The cookies turned out good, but somehow I think that when I do my own blend of SB and butter it tastes better. I don't know maybe it was just me? I'll have to try it again. :)
I love baking new fun cookies!! It's definitely that time of year and I plan to break out the cookie sheets in the near future. I should try that smart balance "butter"!
Oh wow, those ginger and blueberry cookies are definitely going on my gift list...thanks for the recipe!
Lookin' Good! thank me!
heheh-awesome creativity!
Blueberry and WHite Chocolate? Holy crap. I WOULD eat the whole batch. I just can't contain myself around cookies with white chocolate!
That's good to know about the Smart Balance- so many butter substitutes do NOT work for baking.
So... do you need my address? I mean, so you know where to send the cookies :)
I LOVE apricots in cookies. The thyme sounds interesting. I've never tried a savory herb like that in a sweet, but it could work...
Yyou've set an excellent example for me: cookies and kindness in the same post!
So which ones did you like the best? They both sound amazing, but I love the sound of the blueberry flavor combo.
Sharon- you want me to pick my favorite cookie?? i don't think i can, they're different types, each with merit :)
I really like the sound of using dried blueberries and white chocolate in cookies! As it would have it, IO just saw some dried blueberries in a bulk store the other day. Bookmarked.
