Ex-pat needing cookie recipes with very basic ingredients?

[RogInc]

Hi everyone,
I'm in Eastern Europe, trying to find some good cookie recipes to make for friends/family here from local ingredients. Unfortunately...
- No brown sugar or unusual sweeteners (only white sugar)
- No shortening
- No peanut butter
- No chocolate chips (M&M's are available and work as a good substitute, or chopping up chocolate bars)

Things that I have found that might be useful for recipes:
- Cream of tartar and cinnamon (I brought from the States)
- Butter, margarine, eggs, flour, milk, basic food stuffs like that
- Good selection of dried fruits and nuts
- Baking soda, baking powder, yeast
- There are lots of variations of condensed milk and caramelized condensed milk (dolce de leche) sold over here
- Corn flakes, cheerios
- Some candy bars: Snickers, milky way, twix, M&M's (plain and peanut filled)

Thanks in advance!
