 So what are the different cookies you can make?

If you go with the non chilling option (i.e. dropping on the parchment paper), you can make frosted peppermint mocha cookies.

To make the cookies, just drop on parchment lined cookie sheets and bake for 8-10 minutes. Once cool frost with peppermint mocha frosting and then sprinkle with crushed candy canes.

The following cookies require you to chill the dough for a few hours.  Even with chilling the dough, it will still be a bit sticky.

First off you could simply roll the dough in sugar.

Or you could make blossom cookies (you know, like the yummy peanut butter blossoms)

Simply roll the dough into balls, and roll in sugar.  Then bake for 8-10 minutes.  Once out of the oven immediately press Hershey kisses into them.  I tried some of the candy cane kisses as well, and as you can see they melted a bit more than regular kisses.

Another option is to make crinkle cookies.

With these cookies, you simply roll the dough into balls, and then roll in powder sugar.  They will crack while baking to give you a crinkled look.

See, this dough is so versatile!  I was also thinking you could wrap the dough around a Hershey kiss to make a surprise cookie.
