 Some Chocolate Cookie Ideas from our Twitter Friends -
 BakeSpace has several friends on Twitter who have shared great tips for making chocolate cookies: @cookieMadness (BakeSpace Member) - "Pay attention to type of cocoa powder called for in the recipe. Dutch and Natural have different acidity levels."@iad2la - "Try integrating Indian spices! Cardamom or aniseed with semi-sweet or dark chocolate; black salt or saffron w/white or milk chocolate."@swingdag - "Substituting a third to half of the wheat flour with rice flour makes for crunchy cookies, Famous Amos style!"If you're on twitter, please join our network ( @bakespace) and add us as a friend. _________________________________________________________________________

While browsing the forum I heard about the following Cookie Facial. Sounds awesome to me! Sugar Cookie Facial Scrub Mask You'll need: 1 cup sugar sweet almond oil 1 tsp. of vanilla Directions: Stir together and gently apply to your face in a circular motion. The sugar will exfoliate your skin. Photo - White Chocolate and Macadamia Cookies by KitchenWench
