What's your favorite kind of homemade cookie?  Share the recipe if you have it.

My son Terence is the best cook of my sons. Second to his skunk stew, this is my favorite:

Dried fish cookies

• Three handfuls flour
• One scoop venison lard
• One scoop of wild honey
  
• Root of one mallow, boiled until gooey
• Half a handful of any available seeds or grains, roasted
  
• Salt
• Dried fish, pounded into pieces about the size of your thumb

Work everything but the fish into a thick crumble, then press bits of the dried fish into the dough. Form into balls and partly flatten between your palms. Bake in your clay oven or a heavy, lidded cauldron until somewhat solidified and the tails are brown and crispy.

Terence has many extras he adds when we have them, which I find quite the holiday treat. Some eel or frog extract really brings out the fish, and wild mountain kale adds to the color and chewiness.
