My Top 10 Cookie Recipes

Black and White Cookies

I’d like to take this moment to request a platter of Black and White Cookies from the magic little elves that are currently in my kitchen doing the dishes, in my bedroom sorting laundry, and in my shower scrubbing the tiles.  Could you little elves please stop what you’re doing and make me some cookies?  Fresh baked.  With milk.  Please… that would be great.

What?  The magic little elves have taken the night off!?  That’s some nerve.  Some nerve.

Peanut Butter Bacon Cookies

Peanut Butter Bacon Cookies.  Because everything should have bacon in it.  Everything.

Lemon Whoopie Pies

Lemon Whoopie Pies.  Daaaaang that’s a big cookie.

Palmiers

How to Make Palmiers… or How to Make Puff Pastry Even More Delicious.  Sugar.

Heart Krispies

Wait… a recipe for how to make Rice Krispie Treats shaped like hearts and dipped in chocolate.  Is this cheating?  Kinda… yea.  But look how pretty!  Drool.

Lemon Lime Sables

Citrus Sables.  Fancypants sugar cookies with lemon and lime.  Do it.

Dark Chocolate Walnut Raisin Cookies

My word.  This cookie makes me weak in the knees.  Dark Chocolate Walnut Cookies with Golden Raisins.  It’s like a brownie.  It’s like heaven… with walnuts and raisins.

Easter Meringues

Keepin’ it classy with Spring Easter Meringues.  I love when pretty is also delicious.

Honey Roasted Peanut Thumbprint Cookies

Honey Roasted Peanut Thumbprint Cookies.  A classic made couture.  So much yum.

Chocolate Chip Cookies Part 1

My favorite Chocolate Chip Cookie with melted butter and bread flour.  Big, chewy and delicious.  Yes.

  1. I have to try your recipe. I’m 15 and just recently started baking. I’ve tried multiple chocolate chip cookie recipes and for some reason, they are the one thing I can’t bake! I don’t know what I’m doing wrong! I’ve just never had a recipe turn out good. I bake other things alll the time. Banana Bread, Coffee Cake, Flan, Mexican Wedding Cookies, Cupcakes, Brownies. They turn out perfect and yummmmmy. But this dang chocolate chip cookies are holding me back!

  2. I can’t believe the pumpkin chocolate chip cookies didn’t make this list! That recipe is how I found this blog and I make them all the time. Pumpkin is present in my pantry all year long.

  3. i just found you through a link from another friend who’s made some of your cookies. saw this recipe & realize this is the first time that making peanut butter cookies has ever appealed to me!

    your food looks yumalicious & i can’t wait to try out the recipes.

  4. oh, my! this is such a great list. adding it to my favorites this weekend and will be making one of them with my sweetheart this weekend. Now, how to choose??

  5. The peanut butter / bacon cookies are amazing. At first I thought the recipe was wrong because there is no flour. They are flourless- gluten free. I’m classifying them as health food! I baked these during the huge Washington DC blizzard. Someone please make me stop baking!!!

  6. joy – these cookies were amazing. really. i hope it would be ok if i put them in my blog- referencing you (big time) and your wonderful blog which i so admire!

  7. A while back I made dark chocolate bacon cupcakes for my friends and co-workers. They all raved about how delicious they were. Alas, I cannot have chocolate myself due to an allergy. Boo. Nothing is more frustrating than not being able to enjoy the yumminess with everyone else. Now I see your recipe for Peanut Butter Bacon Cookies, and my heart rejoices. I am making them. This weekend. Cannot wait.

  8. I love cookies, but TODAY is February 3rd which is NATIONAL CARROT CAKE DAY and I was hoping you’d have something about that :(

    I’ll look and see if you have a recipe on your blog that I can refer readers to.

    Keep up the good work. Really enjoy your blog :)

    All the Best!

  9. OK. I have to try the peanut butter and bacon cookies for my husband. He THINKS he doesn’t like sweet and savory together. But he likes bacon, he likes peanut butter, and I’M going teach him a lesson.

  10. Sorry Joy but what about your Brownie cookies – so easy and melt in your mouth delicious. The others look great too.

  11. cookies are my fave…seriously, they’re like the only dessert i cannot resist! i’m always looking for new cookie recipes. i think i’ll have to try the black and white cookies and lemon whoopie pies for sure!

    Wondering if have one with raspberry jam.
    Thanks

  13. OH MY GOSH- YUM. I seriously want to go in my kitchen and make a batch of all of those. Love your site!! Thanks for sharing so many voluptuous recipes.

  14. Oh my, I will have to try the black and white recipe next week! My parents are coming to visit and black and white cookies are my dad’s absolute favorite. (I mean, I will have to try all of them because they all look delicious, but I was extra-excited for the black and whites) :)

  15. have you ever made Texas Ranger Cookies? They are perfection. I have gotten a proposal for marriage from an older married man off of those cookies. They require a lot of ingredients but the outcome is totally worth it. I have the recipe on my blog if you would like to try something new. You wont regret it. (:

  16. PEANUT. BUTTER. BACON?! OMG SOLD. everyone think i’m crazy because my favorite thing ever is peanut butter and bacon sandwiches. try ordering one of those in a restaurant…see what faces you get. but putting it all into a COOKIE is a whole new level of genius. you are a goddess.

  17. How did you know I woke up itching for some good cookies?! Thanks for revisiting all of these fabulous recipes. :)

  18. Ooh, I need to bring some dessert for the Big Game this weekend!! Perfect!! Really like the cute heart rice krispies =)

  19. Oh dear! But what about those wonderful pumpkin cookies, those big soft muffin-top ones you posted for fall? oh and the peanut butter sandwich cookies from your lil sis….But, I guess you have so many to choose from, it would be hard to pick…You are my GO TO site for any baked good!!!

  20. Joy-
    I have been making your chocolate chip cookies-amazing right before they go to bake,I sprinkle fleur de sel. So.darn.good. Thanks for creating such an inspirational blog!

  21. We have made your citrus sables. Oh my gosh. So, so good. They lasted only 2-3 days because they were so good that we could not stop eating them!

  22. Miss Precious and Miss Prissy are the names my grandson & I gave the Cookies and Cupcakes we make in the shape of Piggys.

  23. Your Peanut Butter and Bacon Cookies will put a Blush on Miss Precious,and Miss Prissy here at my Pantry not to mention a few pounds on MY hips.

  24. I love your blog! it makes me laugh every time. I’m a big fan of your favourite chocolate chip cookies too – since I made them the first time they’ve become my favourite as well!

  25. Yummy! I love your recipes. I’m still tempted to try the bacon cookie recipe. May have to do that this weekend when I have time.

  26. Joy, quite some time ago, I did a search for black a white cookies, and your blog popped up. They are delicious, and even my husband who hates cookies love them. I don’t make them as much as I should because I would be 600 pounds and riddled with diabetes. But, they are still delicious and wonderful all the same. If it wasn’t for those cookies, I wouldn’t have found your blog- which is in fact, on my “bookmarks tab”. Yes, you’ve not only been bookmarked, but you’re TAB bookmarked which is definitely aces in my world. :-)

  27. Crikey Joy! These look utterly amazing. Wow. A big pass on the non-vegetarian ones though (!) but a big big big YES for all the others. Thanks for sharing!

  28. I absolutely love your blog! And those cookies are just to die for! I love the choc chip, and the meringues….oh, and the peanut butter….and the black & white…hell, I love ’em all!

  29. I love that we’re on the same mental wavelength, Joy – I just made a triple (triple!!) batch of chocolate chip cookies last night. I promise I made some to share with my husband and children; I am about to get on a plane and head to Hawaii here in a few hours and desperately need only a few of said cookies to cope with the 12 HOUR TRANSIT. After all, doesn’t everyone bring homemade cookies with them on long flights? Or even short flights? If not, everyone should. Just sayin’…
