What are some cool twists on chocolate chip cookies?

I am making chocolate chip cookies tomorrow for Thanksgiving, what are some cool twists I can do, such as chocolate chip cookie s’mores?
Also any cool twist ideas for apple crumb pie?
I mean twist as in addition, like s’mores are adding marshmallow and chocolate coating to the cookies, not changing the cookies

ok ladies and gentleman, I am looking for an Italian cookie recipe.?

My girlfriends mom use to make these cookies. Have no clue what they are called. My girl friend says her mom would twist the cookie somehow and it would look like a doll and there is an egg in there. The doll is suppose to be holding the egg. This is an Easter cookie. Can any one help.

How do you make Italian Christmas cookies? Got recipes?

Years ago, we used to receive about five pounds of cookies every Thanksgiving, from an old Italian lady we knew. They were the best cookies I ever ate. They were of all different kinds, but tended to be dense, flavorful, and not terribly sweet, which allowed the flavors to come through.

One in particular was a little glob of delicate spiciness, with a slight glaze.

Years later, in Italy, I discovered that Italian sweets and desserts are not as sweet as French, German and American sweets.

Do Italians hold down the sugar content?

What are the other secrets?

I’m capable of improvising if you don’t have recipes.
