Are you in baking overdrive?

I certainly am. My stand mixer is working overtime, and I'm running out of cookie tins and containers. But you won't want to miss the last batch of cookie recipes in the About.com food channel's Virtual Cookie Exchange. Our Guide to Desserts and Baking offers her childhood favorite recipe for Thumbprint Cookies. Your imagination is the only limit to the different flavor options available with this tasty recipe. And our guide to French food shares this recipe for Cinnamon Palmiers with us. When one thinks of palmiers (tiny, scroll-like pastries) sweet, flaky cookies come to mind. These cookies are just that, with a touch of comforting, caramelized cinnamon.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to run to the store for another bag of flour.
