These Snickerdoodle Cookies Stay Super-Soft Days After You Make ThemRecipes
When it comes to cookies, we all have our preferences. Me, I’m a texture girl. I like them soft and chewy. From peanut butter cookies and oatmeal cookies to gingerbread cookies, any soft and chewy cookie automatically has my attention. These snickerdoodles were redesigned with that in mind. I often don’t like snickerdoodles that much; they get too crisp, too crunchy. Not these — they’ll still be soft days after you’ve made them.

These Old-School Gingerbread Cookies Are My Family’s Favorite for ChristmasRecipes

Will the spices make me sneeze? Can I trust this cookie? I’m here today to share a recipe for gingerbread cut-out cookies that you can trust. This is the gingerbread we’re all hoping we get when we reach toward the cookie tray. This is the one that will make you smile.

5 Beautiful Ways to Package Cookies for GiftingKitchen
Making cookies and treats for the holidays has always been the easy part for me. I can organize a shopping list, prep, freeze, and bake with great speed and efficiency and generally enjoy the whole process. The packaging of it? Not so much for this creatively-challenged baker. I want all my hard work to shine, and for my cookie gifts to look and feel special, but I just don’t have the patience or talent to do anything complicated. Thankfully, it doesn’t have to be.

Italian Ricotta Cookies Are the Holiday Treat Everyone LovesRecipes
When I think of Italian American bakeries, I envision piles of biscotti, rainbow cookies, cannolis, and trays and trays of an array of cookies decorated with colorful sprinkles —including ricotta cookies. Super-soft and cakey, thanks to the ricotta cheese, these cute little cookies remind me a bit of Lofthouse sugar cookies (which are often made with sour cream or yogurt). Want proof of their deliciousness?

These Linzer Cookies Are Essential for Every Holiday Cookie SwapRecipes
Linzer cookies might look like another pretty sandwich cookie, but these sweet-tart cookies have a rich, tender crumb, thanks to a nearly invisible ingredient. Almonds turned into almond flour make an everyday sugar cookie dough a tender, melt-in-your-mouth treat, fragrant with the warm notes of toasted nuts. Two cookies serve as the bookends to the sweet and sticky jam of your choice to transform into a holiday cookie made for customization. Here’s how to make them.

You Only Need 3 Ingredients for These Chewy Peanut Butter CookiesRecipes
I’m an “instant gratification” kind of baker. Any baked good that’s deemed a “project” (with the exception of pumpkin cinnamon rolls, of course!) isn’t really my speed. Give me sweets that I can mix together quickly and easily, pop in the oven, and snack on in half an hour and I’m sold. Enter: 3-ingredient peanut butter cookies. Not only are these the absolute easiest, but they’re my favorite soft and chewy peanut butter cookies too.

No-Bake Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookies Taste Like a Reese's CupRecipes
No-bake cookies — the kind made with oats, peanut butter, and chocolate — are a classic dessert and an easier option than homemade cookies from scratch. Mothers and grandmothers around the country regularly make this stovetop cookie, to varying results. I remember at least a few times eating failed no-bake cookies with a spoon because they never fully set. Here’s my secret to better no-bake cookies: Think of the process more like candy-making than cookie baking.

Joanna Gaines’ Chocolate Chip Cookies Are My Family’s FavoriteRecipes
My dad has an intense sweet tooth, just like me. One afternoon when I was around 10 years old, Dad got a hankering and he enlisted me to help him make Toll House chocolate chip cookies. That was the first time he and I had ever baked together. Since then, whenever I make chocolate chip cookies, including the ones from this recipe, I think of him and that special afternoon we spent together in the kitchen. I developed this recipe over the years.

Royal Icing Is the Secret to the Easiest Cookie Decorating Recipes
Every year as the holidays approach, I eagerly anticipate holiday baking and decorating sugar cookies. And every year, they don’t exactly turn out as planned.

I recently got to work developing a simple royal icing recipe that makes cookie decorating as stress-free (and mess-free!

I’ve saved one of my most beloved cookies for last. These candy cane cookies are the best.
