Cookie Recipes
Great cookie recipes are like gold. Are there is a long list of great ones here! There are classics like chocolate chip cookies, shortbread, skillet cookies, and snickerdoodles. All of which, I love to make with a little twist or update. There are also other crowd-pleasing wildcards here, like Nikki’s Healthy Cookies (really!), No Bake Energy Bites, and Limoncello Macaroons.
Cookies are often a favorite punctuation to everyday moments, or the best kind of homemade gift for a friend. Everyone can (and should) bake delicious cookies on occasion!

Chocolate Puddle Cookies
I came across a cookie when I visited Portland, it was a crackle-edged puddle of chocolate with a texture that made me think of the collision between a soft meringue and a fudgy brownie.

Made using 100% whole wheat flour and hand-chopped chocolate chips, this is a skillet-baked twist on chocolate chip cookies. Spread the dough in an oven-safe skillet, and bake into a single mega-cookie.

Healthful Double Chocolate Cookies
A nut-free (school-friendly), double chocolate version of one of the most popular cookies on my site. Made with a banana-batter, shredded coconut, dark chocolate chunks, and oats. Butter-less, flour-less, egg-less, and potentially sugar-less cookies make great after school, travel, or post-workout treats.
Limoncello Macaroons
A limoncello macaroon recipe along with a batch of photos from a cabin weekend in Mendocino. The cookies are golden-crusted, powder-coated, almond-citrus gems spiked with limoncello liqueur my sister made for me.
