Crowd-Pleasing Cookie Recipes

“First cookie to disappear from your cookie tray! This cookie can be rolled out and cut into shapes as well. Just make 2 disks instead of logs before refrigerating.” – Wendy

“These cookies were a favorite of my Grandma Celeste. She was the mother of 8 children she raised on her farm in Iowa. She loved anything with citrus and I inherited that love from her. We’d sit and enjoy these cookies anytime I could take them up there when I visited her. The flecks of vanilla bean in the cookies make them feel even more special.” – Cristen

“This is a good name for these cookies, they are addictive and you start feeling stupid because you can’t stop eating them!” – Dayle

“I brought this recipe home from Newfoundland, where my family was vacationing. It’s a very robust soft cookie (not really buns) recipe and reflects the robust life on the big island. It is especially good eaten warm right out of the oven but keeps well. Great for the winter holidays (lots of spice). If you like gingersnaps, you’ll like them.” – Leanna

“My mom has made these my entire life and they always bring back memories of childhood. My kids and their friends used to beg me to make them.” – Candace

“My husband’s cousin, Stef, gave me this recipe (hence the name). We add food coloring into the frosting in separate little bowls to make different pastel colors for spring.” – Megan

“This recipe has been in my husband’s family for over 100 years. My sweet mother-in-law shared this with me. I will always cherish and treasure the many wonderful recipes she left behind. The secret is in the type of sugar used. These are great with coffee or tea and have a light buttery taste.” – Charlene

“These Brownie mix cookies are a cookie and brownie rolled into one. They are chewy with a fudgy center and crinkle top, the ultimate cookie.” – Debbie

“These bring back many childhood memories, and they were also a favorite of my father’s. It took a while for me to develop the exact recipe, as my mother did not leave this one with us. She may have gotten her recipe from my father’s mother because he once said he used to eat cookies like these as a boy.” – Susan

“This is my spin on the traditional peanut butter blossoms recipe. I love those cookies and wanted to enhance them. From the reviews from my family and close friends, I have succeeded. Three amazing flavors… peanut butter, semi-sweet chocolate, and white chocolate. That spells yum in our book!” – Didi

“This recipe is my favorite because of the person I thought of when it was created. My boyfriend Joe loves chocolate and oatmeal. So when combining my ingredients, I made sure to include these two ingredients and they made for the best chocolate chip cookies. It’s a tradition I use weekly, and Joe couldn’t be happier!” – Teresa

“The browned butter gives it a nutty flavor and adds to the richness of these cookies. I learned that lemon juice helps to activate the baking soda!” – Roshuni

“I’m always looking for something home-baked that beats the highly preserved cookies we’ve grown to like. It’s a privilege to make these little gems because they are picture-perfect and taste twice as good as they look.” – Linda

“I came up with this recipe by combining 3 family-favorite cookie recipes into one delicious amazing cookie. It’s a soft cookie with a cake-like texture. The taste is unique, and when I sell them at bake sales, they sell out immediately!” – Diane

“Sugar and spice and everything nice make these cookies the perfect treat. They remind you of the traditional Cowboy Cookie only with a flavorful twist. Want to make your family whoop and holler and beg for more? No bull about it, these are delicious and filling cookies! My family loves to have these as a snack.” – Kris

“I’ve been baking lots of banana bread lately and while I love it, I wanted something different to do with my ripe bananas. I found this recipe and tweaked it some to make it mine. They have a very soft, cake-like texture.” – Marianne

“This is a family favorite. These cookies are always a hit whenever I bake them for family or friends.” – Laura

“These peanut butter cookies are a taste above the norm. They don’t last long in my house and are the most asked for cookies by family and friends. I often add a little pizzazz by topping with a Hershey Kiss while still warm or drizzling some chocolate over them when slightly cooled.” – Deneece

“I developed these sophisticated cookies for my son, who loves chocolate and cherries. These shipped well while he was in Afghanistan. These are chocolate, chocolate chip cookies with pecans and dried cherries. Super yummy and not too sweet, better than chocolate-covered cherries or Black Forest cake!” – Cheri

“This is the first cookie recipe I learned from watching my mother make and the first one I taught my kids. Now my son Fernando makes it several times a year and it’s a big hit where he works. This is a fun recipe a child can make. Add or delete items as you like. Fun to make fun to eat.” – Deborah

“I had asked my grandmother for some cookie recipes a while back and she very kindly included her oatmeal cookie recipe which I have always loved. I really dislike oatmeal cookies with cinnamon and nutmeg, etc. in them so I was thrilled to get this recipe. It can be tailored to your tastes as far as if you prefer nuts or chocolate chips or raisins or whatever!” – Laurie

“These cookies are so easy to make and so melt in your mouth yummy! A client of mine gave me this recipe a couple of years ago and now it’s a family favorite!” – Joyce

“Two of my favorite things – bacon and chocolate chip cookies! This is a perfect meld of flavors. After you make this the first time you can decide if you want more or less of any of the ingredients. But I must say, this is how I like them. No that’s wrong… this is how I love them!” – Colleen

“These cookies will satisfy your chocolate craving. They have the texture of a brownie!” – Kelli

“This is my original recipe that took me a while to get right. This cookie is NOT a snickerdoodle! It is a thin, crispy, buttery delight. Just like that warm cinnamon toast my grandma used to make for me. Enjoy!” – Stacy

“My mom (aka best cook in the world) made these cookies for years. She made them every Christmas (along with many other cookies) and for special occasions. They are my absolute favorites. When mom moved into assisted living a few years ago, her Christmas cookie recipes were part of the “treasures” she passed on to me. So now, the week before Christmas, mom comes over and “we” make the cookies together. I think she enjoys her new supervisory role. Maple Twists are a bit labor-intensive, but trust me, they are soooooooo worth it.” – Joanne

“These are the most delicious and easiest cookies I have ever made and tasted. Over the years, I have come to appreciate shorter versions of dishes that I used to spend loads of time preparing. The ideal result for me is a treat or dish that is delicious, one that everyone enjoys, and one that I didn’t spend days or many hours preparing. These cookies are special. I used to make the Dulce de Leche filling on top of the stove, mixing whole milk, sugar, vanilla beans, watching and stirring occasionally for about 3 hours. Granted, it was delicious. This, too, is delicious and easier.” – Pat

“Super quick and easy 3 ingredient peanut butter and date cookies dipped in melted dark chocolate!” – Kevin
