Holiday Spritz 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
Best Soft Chocolate Chip Cookies in Cookie Recipes,These are THE BEST soft chocolate chip cookies! No chilling required. Just ultra-thick, soft, classic chocolate chip cookies! Today, tonight, whenever it is, if you’re going to eat a cookie, please make it count. Please make it a soft, hugely huge and always soft, and buttery and chocolate chippy and perfectly soft (did I already say that?) chocolate chip cookie that will take your life to the next level.
Best Soft Chocolate Chip Cookies
Half-batch Perfect Chocolate Chip Cookies in Cookie Recipes,For these ultra-thick cookies, we melt the butter HALF WAY or less. So literally I heat the stick of butter until roughly half of it is melted. This gives me the most success with a cookie that is both soft and structured. And guess where I melt my butter? Well, I told you already. In the preheating oven. It goes slowly and it keeps most of the stick firm while just gently melting off the outer layer, unlike melting in the microwave where the whole thing gets kinda soggy. Try to melt half or less – my goal is usually about one third and it usually takes just 3-5 minutes. Set a timer, please! Any more than that will start to make the cookies flat. These small-batch chocolate chip cookies are perfect for when you’re craving a cookie, but don’t want to make a whole batch.
Half-batch Perfect Chocolate Chip Cookies
Double Chocolate cookies in Cookie Recipes,These double chocolate cookies are super easy to make and make for chewy, chocolatey cookies. Delicious and so simple! The timing on this one is kind of important to get that soft, chewy texture, so make sure to look for the signs of doneness (flattened out, slightly cracked tops, cookie holding together, etc.) to get it right for your oven.
Double Chocolate cookies
Easy Chocolate Chip Cookies in Cookie Recipes,These Chocolate Chip Cookies are one of the BEST cookie recipes I have ever made (or tried). These Easy Cookies are a favorite at our house, for Christmas or for any time of year. They are thick, chewy, and loaded with so much gooey goodness. Easy to make and no chilling required!
Easy Chocolate Chip Cookies
Salted Caramel Pecan Chocolate Chip Cookies in Cookie Recipes,Super soft-baked chocolate chip cookies with salted caramel and pecans. One of the best chocolate chip cookies of all time! Adding cornstarch to your cookie dough will produce softer-than-ever cookies! It doesn’t impact the flavor at all. One bite of your tender cookie and you’ll wonder why you haven’t added cornstarch to your chocolate chip cookies this whole time.
Salted Caramel Pecan Chocolate Chip Cookies
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.
Chocolate-Peanut Butter Swirl Cookies
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.
Rich Chocolate 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
Peanut Butter Blossom Cookies in Cookie Recipes,Closing out cookie palooza with a throwback from 2013! Peanut butter blossoms are easily one of the best Christmas cookies on this planet because they’re (1) easy to make (2) super cute (3) peanut butter + chocolate and (4) peanut butter + chocolate.
