How To Make The Best Brownies Delicious Breakfast Recipes Pork Chop Recipes Recipes, Dinners and Easy Meal Ideas
Peanut Butter-Paprika Cookies in Cookie Recipes,This recipe comes from Sister Pie, a Detroit bakery specializing in pies and baked goods, like blueberry plum balsamic pie, buttered corn scones, and rhubarb blondies, that are “comforting with a side of adventure.” These oversize cookies embody that ethos. They’re tender, sweet and peanut buttery, but gussied up with a sprinkle of flaky sea salt and a hint of smoked paprika.
Peanut Butter-Paprika Cookies
Magic Cookie Bars in Cookie Recipes,Coconut dream bars. Magic cookie bars. Hello, Dolly bars. You’ve seen these classic treats at bake sales, holiday parties and potlucks over the years. But they tend to crumble when cut, thanks to a thin graham cracker crust. And, topped with gobs of super-sweet shredded coconut, sweetened condensed milk, and semisweet chocolate, they have a cloying bite that may be too much for even the sweetest tooth. This version starts with a thicker graham cracker cookie base. It's baked with an egg and a bit of brown sugar, which makes it pleasantly dense and chewy and means that it cuts nicely and stands up well to the decadent toppings. Next, unsweetened flaked coconut and dark chocolate are layered with plenty of chopped pecans and condensed milk. The slightly bitter chocolate and toasty coconut tame the sweetness of the condensed milk, which caramelizes as it cooks, making the whole package well-balanced and full of flavor.

Chocolate-Peanut Butter Swirl Cookies in Cookie Recipes,These are like those three-ingredient peanut butter cookies everyone loves, but with a little cocoa powder and bittersweet chocolate threw in to make them fancy. You only need five ingredients and a bit of elbow grease to put them together. While semisweet chocolate (in bar or chip form) would certainly work here, bittersweet chocolate is a better choice. The darker chocolate, along with the cocoa powder, adds a fruity bitterness that contrasts nicely with the sweet peanut butter.

Frosted Holiday Sugar Cookies in Cookie Recipes,Whether you're making Santas or dreidls, shamrocks or bunnies, this foolproof cookie and royal icing recipe is the only one you need. Don't skip chilling the dough after rolling it out. It really helps the cookies keep their shape while baking. And if you'd like to frost the cookies very generously, consider doubling the icing amounts below.
Frosted Holiday Sugar Cookies
Fluffy Sugar Cookies in Cookie Recipes,These fluffy sugar cookies are topped with a vanilla frosting and sprinkle just like the Lofthouse brand! Super easy to make at home. If you are making larger cookies, increase the baking time. For small cookies, I really only needed 3 minutes for my cookies – the ones that I baked longer than 3 minutes turned out very dry. Personally, I don’t care for these cookies plain. The frosting really makes them stand out!
Fluffy Sugar Cookies
Christmas Munchies in Cookie Recipes,These holiday pretzel bites deserve an award. They are essentially everything good about a Christmas cookie all in one tiny package: sweet, salty, festive-looking, and uber-cute! It's easy to make – just pretzels, Hershey hugs, and red and green M&Ms. Fun for kids and perfect for gifting. Don’t go higher than 200 degrees – the hugs will dry out and overbake.
Christmas Munchies
Rich Chocolate Cookies in Cookie Recipes,This recipe for the chocolate cookies was sent to The New York Times several years ago by Mari Pfeiffer, a reader in California; it’s from the cookbook “Great Cookies,” published in 2003 by the author and teacher Carole Walter. The cookies are imbued with deep flavor from the combination of cocoa powder, unsweetened chocolate and espresso powder. Decorate them with royal icing. “Other icings — buttercream, melted white or dark chocolate or ganache — would take away from the cookie’s simple yet amazing flavor,” said Ms. Pfeiffer, who often cuts the dough into letters to spell out seasonal messages.

Basic Sugar Cookies in Cookie Recipes,Everyone needs a good sugar cookie recipe. If you can master the very simple technique behind this one dough, you have several variations at your disposal, most likely without a trip to the grocery store.

Basic Sugar Cookies
Chocolate-Mint Cookies in Cookie Recipes,This cookie is a handmade homage to the Girl Scouts’ classic combination of dark chocolate and mint. A bright, festive decoration of crushed candy canes adds color and crunch. If store-bought dark chocolate cookies are available, you can use them instead of making your own. And if you temper the coating chocolate instead of simply melting it, your chocolate shell will have a bit more snap and durability.
Chocolate-Mint Cookies
Spritz Cookies in Cookie Recipes,A basic cookie dough recipe is at the heart of this treat, great for any occasion. A cookie press (think of a caulking machine but with cookie dough) offers lots of versatility, whether you're looking for wreaths for the holidays or hearts for Valentine's Day. Just beat together the ingredients, and place the dough in the press just after mixing. Push the dough through onto parchment paper, decorate with colored sugars and bake. They'll add a bit of color and joy to any cookie platter.
Spritz Cookies
Salty Peanut Chocolate Chip Cookies in Cookie Recipes,These cookies offer a terrific blend of salty and sweet, with the crunch of the peanuts lending a bit of texture to a chewy treat. They are also very easy to make and require only about an hour. But watch the timer — if they are overcooked, they will lose their chewiness.
Salty Peanut Chocolate Chip Cookies
Thick-and-Gooey Chocolate-Chip Cookies in Cookie Recipes,These hefty and extremely satisfying treats should be devoured with a cool glass of milk on hand. In the search for the perfect iteration of chocolate-chip cookies, three subsets of cookie rose to the top (check out the crisp and chewy versions to compare). Each recipe was tested more than a half-dozen times, so please grant us some generosity. Note that this version uses baking powder and the balls of dough are considerably larger.
Thick-and-Gooey Chocolate-Chip Cookies
Deep Dish Chocolate Chip Cookies in Cookie Recipes,Combine the pleasure of a warm-from-the-oven cookie with the butterscotch goodness of soft cookie dough and you have a deep-dish chocolate chip cookie. When I serve them at parties, I like to make the dessert completely over-the-top by baking the dough in a big baking dish, piling some ice cream in the middle, and passing out spoons for communal pigging out. It usually gets really quiet from the moment I put it down on the table until the last bits of melted chocolate are scraped from the edge of the pan.
Deep Dish Chocolate Chip Cookies
Chocolate Chip Cookie Ice Cream Bars in Cookie Recipes,This week's stress relief of choice comes to you in the form of melty, messy chocolate chip cookie ice cream sandwiches. Oh, sweet glory. These simple chocolate chip cookie ice cream bars have a layer of soft-baked cookies on the top and bottom, with vanilla ice cream in the middle.
Chocolate Chip Cookie Ice Cream Bars
Peanut Butter Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies in Cookie Recipes,Peanut Butter Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies! These are classic in a way that only peanut butter, oats, and two types of chocolate chips can be classic. If chocolate chip cookies are a band-aid for the soul and chocolate chip cookie dough is a double band-aid for the soul. These cookies are classic in a way that only peanut butter, oats, and two types of chocolate chips can be classic. And if you’re a nut person, you better add some nuts.
Peanut Butter Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies
Malted Double Chocolate Chip Cookies in Cookie Recipes,These malted double chocolate chip cookies are loaded with milk chocolate chips, semi-sweet chocolate chunks, and malt powder. Thick, soft and chewy! This is vanilla malt flavor inside a warm, gooey chocolate chip cookie, and for that reason, it’s not the kind of recipe you want to mess around with. This is, however, the kind of recipe you want to stash away in the vegetable drawer for a munchie sort of Wednesday night. So get your Crisco and go. Three two one go.
