Board 8 > The paper I work at had a cookie contest a couple of weeks ago

(+) Yeah! (+)

The winners have already been decided and everything, but I'm in charge of transmitting all these recipes from paper to a single document, so typing hooray! 3rd place got $100, 2nd place got $300, 1st place got $500.
1st place, per request from @Terastodon, was "American Apple Pie Cookies with Cheddar Cheese" and the recipe is as follows:

INGREDIENTS (as written by the baker):
2 refrigerated pie crusts
1 can apple pie filling
1 jar caramel sauce
cup sharp cheddar cheese
2 tbsp cinnamon
1 tbsp nutmeg
1 egg
Flour for sprinkling
Round cookie cutter

BAKING:
Lay out pie crust, sprinkle with a little flour. Roll slightly just to increase surface area.
Pour caramel sauce and spread until crust is covered.
Chop up apple filling and add on top of caramel sauce.
Shred cheddar cheese and sprinkle on top.
Roll out second pie crust and cut into inch strips and create a lattice.
Cut into cookies using the cookie cutter.
Place on baking sheet and brush with egg white. Sprinkle the sugar nutmeg mixture and bake at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes.

I guess I can post other recipes here that I find interesting or unique. 2nd and 3rd definitely, just too lazy right now (and busy actually typing all the other recipes).

Bored of typing them, here's 2nd and 3rd:

Lemon Cool Whip Cookies
INGREDIENTS:
1 box lemon cake mix
2 cups frozen whipped topping thawed
1 large egg
cup powdered sugar
INSTRUCTIONS:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
In a medium bowl, combine the cake mix, cool whip, and egg. Stir until well mixed.
Place the powdered sugar in a small bowl. Drop the cookie batter by teaspoons into the powdered sugar and roll the dough to coat.
Place the balls 1 inches apart on a baking sheet that has been covered with a non-stick baking mat or sprayed with cooking spray.
Bake the cookies for 10 minutes, or until barely brown.
Remove the cookies from the cookie sheet to a cooling rack and allow them to cool. Makes 4 dozen.

Found an interesting one (imo)

Kentucky Coffee
INGREDIENTS:
2 c. white sifted flour
c. white granulated sugar
c. light brown sugar
1 tsp baking soda
tsp salt
1 c. melted Piggly Wiggly butter
2 large eggs
2 tbsp Bulleitt bourbon
2 tbsp Piggly Wiggly instant coffee
1 package Hersheys white chocolate chips
INSTRUCTIONS
Mix all dry ingredients together in a large bowl. Make sure all are mixed thoroughly. Melt butter on medium heat. Once completely melted, have in hand Bourbon and instant coffee. Pour half of the bourbon into mix and quickly put in instant coffee, then rest of the bourbon. This is important so that the alcohol cooks out and the instant coffee dissolves. Let cool long enough to mix in eggs without cooking them and then blend together. Mix in dry ingredients until normal cookie texture.
Cook at 350 degrees for 9-10 minutes.
Important notes: You can use any bourbon but bulleitt has a large oaky flavor. You can use your favorite instant coffee, but Piggly Wiggly is coarse enough to leave a great coffee taste.
