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!

Saffron Vanilla Snickerdoodles
So good! Saffron Vanilla Snickerdoodles with a slight buckle in the middle, kiss of saffron, and thin golden crust with a fudge-textured center. The Blue Bottle Coffee version.
Five Crazy Good Chocolate Recipes
Less is often more with chocolate, so let's lock it down to an all-star list of five crazy good chocolate recipes.
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.
Simple Whole Wheat Sugar Cookies
This is the recipe I use anytime I want perfect sugar cookies. Great flavor, and the dough is a dream to work with.
Triple Ginger Cookies
These are the ginger cookies you want to make. A special triple ginger cookie made with three kinds of ginger and a hit of lemon zest. Cracked and sugar-crusted on the outside, dense and moist within.
Super Tasty, Toasted Almond Sable Cookies
Toasty, nutty sable cookies made with whole wheat flour, sliced almonds, currents and salted butter. And a peek at some of my favorite vintage cookie cutters.
Whole Wheat Chocolate Chip Skillet Cookie
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.
Inspiring Hand-painted Cookies
Hand-painted cookies are incredibly special, and these are some of the coolest.
4 o’clock No-bake Energy Bites
My favorite alternative to energy bars - these are a favorite late afternoon snack. The best part is they're simple to make, and you're in control of the ingredients.
Middle Eastern Millionaire’s Shortbread
This is the Middle Eastern Millionaire's Shortbread from Yotam Ottolenghi and Helen Goh's Sweet, and it's incredible.
