Four-Ingredient Fudge Crinkles

-Joy1996

recipe

Chewy Chocolate Cookies

"I recently tried this recipe to take to work, and they went over extremely well! A friend mentioned putting caramel bits in them, so I tried that the next time I made them. They were even better that way! I did have to add extra flour when I used the caramel to keep them from being flat."

-SarahLeap

recipe

Soft Molasses Cookies

"My grandpa used to make us molasses spice cookies every Christmas when I was a kid, and after he passed away, we didn't have the recipe. When I saw your recipe here just recently, I thought it looked just like what he used to make, and honestly, it is just as good or maybe even a bit better!"

-SilverOpera

recipe

White Chocolate Chip Cranberry Oatmeal Cookies

"These are probably the best cookies I have ever made and certainly the best I've ever eaten. I love the thin, chewy texture. That is always something I look for when I search for a recipe. The only thing I did different from the original recipe was to simmer, yes simmer, my cranberries in dark rum!"

-brenda b.

recipe

Best Pumpkin Cookies

"These cookies are soft and moist and, because the cookie is not overly sweet, the glaze is delicious on them. I used a basting brush to put on a thin layer of the glaze because my oldest always complains about things being too sweet, but not this time... Rave reviews all around."

-Jan Harroun

recipe

The Best Snickerdoodles

Cheesecake Cookies

recipe

Granny's Sugar Cookies

"This recipe is just excellent. The dough is very easy to roll out and the cookies are very light and buttery. You might as well delete the recipe for the frosting, though. They were all gone before I got a chance to frost them."

-Evans89

recipe

Chewy Cranberry Oatmeal Cookies

"These are delicious and truly addictive. I have made more batches of these this month than I can count. Some with cranberries, some with mixed dried fruits and some with tropical fruits and they were all delicious."

-Sue Magoo

recipe

Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies

-Athenasolives

recipe

Eloise's Easy Sugar Cookies

"This recipe truly is worth five stars. I've made dozens of sugar cookie recipes and this one surpasses them all. It's hard to believe because sugar cookies have just about all the same basic ingredients but this recipe makes the chewiest, tastiest, most amazing cookies. And they hold their shape well when baked if you want to decorate them."

-kleincompanyworks

recipe

Almond Biscotti

-Baby Kato

recipe

Chewy Drop Sugar Cookies

"For me these always come out in a dome shape, but that is fine with me. They are sort of cakey, but not overly sweet. My favorite way to have them is with some strawberry frosting and colored sugar on top. Makes a wonderful combination!"

-OrchydMyst

recipe

Toll House Butterscotch Chip Cookies

"It was hard to stop eating this dough! This is by far the best cookie recipe in existence. Be sure to place the spoonfuls of dough far apart... mine all joined together."

World's Best Cornflake Cookies

-Cooking Mom of 7

recipe

Heloise's Cake Mix Cookies

"These are SO simple and versatile. My favorite combo so far is orange cake mix with white chips (Creamsicle!), but I also thought that the funfetti cake mix worked well, as did the butter pecan."

-josephinewillis

recipe

Italian Anise Cookies

"I have been trying to get this cookie right for three years now. I had almost given up. As an Irish girl, I have ZERO experience with this cookie. I ended up using almond extract instead of anise. That's how it's done here in New Jersey, so I've been told. The cookies came out fluffy and cake like and so delicious."

-campbellscot21

recipe

Chocolate Chip Zucchini Cookies

"Wow! Started up with cooking a batch of these and, what with the grandkids running in and out, finally ended up cooking a total of three batches. Great flavor and a nice, soft cookie. One word of warning: Use a strong mixer or do it by hand. An underpowered mixer is going to have a tough time 'cuz the dough is thick! Now, excuse me while I go finish off a couple that I hid in the cupboard."

-Rick Young

recipe

Chocolate-Dipped Shortbread Cookies

"Tried these last Christmas season for my cookie platters. They ended up being my husband's favorite out of a dozen different types of cookies! I dipped them in semisweet chocolate and sprinkled them with red and green nonpareils. The cookie just melts in your mouth, and chocolate adds a nice something extra."

-girl920

recipe

Monster Cookies

"These are outstanding cookies. They are very easy to make and everyone loves them. Warning: Do not put the M&M's in until the dough is completely mixed. If you put them in too soon they will be broken up by the mixer."

recipe

Chocolate Cowboy Cookies

"OMG they're good! I had one warm from the oven and I'm in heaven. They aren't the prettiest cookies I've ever seen, but who cares—they taste yummy."

-ChefWendyMG

recipe

-mopage7

recipe

Everything-But-the-Kitchen-Sink Cookies

"These cookies are FANTASTIC! A 10-star recipe all the way. Absolutely everyone who has tried one has raved about them. I made them exactly as written, using walnuts and peanut butter chips. Even though I think some various combinations of nuts and chips might be fun, make sure you don't omit the butter brickle pieces; they really add a unique dimension to these cookies."

-Marg CaymanDesigns

-AprilShowers

recipe

Raspberry Swirl Cookies

"I followed this recipe exactly and the cookies turned out beautifully! Do not stop the mixing process until the dough is fully combined, which can take a few minutes. One suggestion I have is to use parchment paper for easy removal of the cookies from the pan."
