Chocolate Chip Cookies

Whenever I think about cookies, the one that comes to my mind is the classic chocolate chip cookie. Few things are as tasty as a traditional chocolate chip cookie. But the beauty of this timeless cookie is that you can customize it in so many ways.

You can add nuts for a little bit of crunch or swap out the type of chips used. We have made many types of chocolate chip cookies, and I'm excited to share them with you!

Some cookies are almost too pretty to eat. They are decorated, colorful, and real attention-getters. Colorful cookies bring joy and whimsy to any dessert table. Whether they get their vibrant colors from food coloring, sprinkles, or colored frosting, these cookies bring the fun!

Cookies are synonymous with Christmas. We all have memories of baking cookies with family and maybe eating one too many holiday cookies at a party. Cookies are fun to make and decorate, particularly at Christmas time.

If you are looking for some easy Christmas cookies to bring to your cookie exchange, you will find them here. You can also bake up a batch and package them to deliver to a neighbor. Who wouldn't love getting some of these yummy cookies?

Holiday Cookies

While cookies are popular at Christmas, you can customize them to enjoy with any holiday. Basic sugar cookies are the easiest to change up for the holidays. You can change the frosting color or change the shapes using a cookie cutter.

Colored sprinkles or jimmies will work with whatever theme or holiday you are celebrating. So next time you have a holiday coming up, grab an apron and get baking!

Cookies With Nuts

Nuts add a whole new flavor profile to cookies. Not only that, they add crunch and texture to an ordinary cookie recipe. Sometimes you don't even need the nuts.

Peanut butter is a popular ingredient in many cookies, and with good reason. It pairs well with chocolate and adds protein and healthy fats to a recipe.

Baking with kids isn't only about making yummy cookies; it's about spending time together, making memories, and even learning! As kids help you bake, they learn measurements, hand-eye coordination, and early math skills.

Even reading the recipe together teaches early reading skills. All of this is done in a fun way! Cooking with kids can also inspire a lifelong love of learning!

You want to be sure to have the right tools for baking, so you are ready for when a cookie craving hits. A few essentials can be helpful in making perfect treats every time. Cookie sheets and parchment paper will make baking and cleanup a breeze. If you are a big sugar cookie fan, investing in an assortment of cookie cutters will add some variety to your baking. You don't even need to leave the house to stock up your kitchen. Amazon has a wide selection of everything you need for your cookies.
