Thanks to our readers, tampabay.com has another awesome cookie section. Our eighth annual cookie section offers two dozen new recipes tested and shared by readers -- and links to recipes from the past seven years.

St. Petersburg Times food editor Janet K. Keeler says 24 cookies were chosen from among more than 600 recipes that were sent to us. "There were recipes I had never seen before, one that even sent us hunting for root beer extract," Keeler wrote.

View tampabay.com's searchable cookie section, see what looks best to you, then let us know how the baking -- and tasting -- goes.

And if you're looking for the perfect gift for someone who loves to bake, Keeler has put together a  collection of the best reader recipes collected over seven years in a spiral-bound book.
