    CHOCOLATE LOVERS - Melt some chocolate and drizzle it across the tops of the cookies after they have been powdered and slightly cooled; this gives it not only a new look but a new flavor.

    OR hide a milk chocolate chip or two in the center before baking for a little surprise and top it off with one on top of each cookie (finish off with another sprinkling of confectioner's sugar).
