The category that started it all... cookie recipes to put a smile on any face.

Lemon Poppyseed Thumbprint Cookies

I love lemon cookies, and, as you’ve probably noticed, I’m a big fan of thumbprint cookies. They are easy but have that little something extra. This recipe blends both of my loves.

Cinnamon Sugar Palmiers

These cinnamon sugar palmiers are ready in under 20 minutes and are sure to please everyone. Perfectly sweet, crunchy and made with store-bought puff pastry.

Buckeyes

Peanut butter and chocolate, is there a better combination?

Milk and Cookie Shots

The Milk and Cookie Shot, a chocolate chip cookie cup filled with vanilla milk and inspired by the classic American pairing.

Chocolate Hazelnut Thumbprint Cookies

Who doesn’t love chocolate and hazelnut in a cookie — Nutella… I mean ‘nuf said.

Red Velvet Crinkle Cookies

These are so pretty and the white chocolate is a great surprise!

Chocolate Mint Thumbprint Cookies

Oh so pretty on a cookie platter and mint-y festiveness!

Macadamia Chocolate Chip Cookies

Easy and delicious cookies that are paleo ta boot!

Ray of Sunshine’s Chocolate Chip Cookies

I love these simple cookies. They are a Ray of Sunshine (Ray Turoczy) specialty! I use hazelnuts and milk chocolate chips to give them a slightly different flare than the basic chocolate chip cookie.

I love ice-box cookies because you can make the dough one night and bake them the next. However, these cookies can be baked immediately after step 4. Take a teaspoon of the dough, roll it into a ball and then flatten it with a glass dipped in flour.

Almond Sand Dollar Cookies

These cookies were a surprise that happened when Mommy and Aunt Judy experimented. The almonds were just supposed to be a decoration, but when the cookies came out of the oven, they were the spitting image of sand dollars!

Ginger Snap Cookies

The classic ginger snap that are easy and quick to make. They are a nice replacement for gingerbread men that are great… but lots of work ;-).

Pizzelle Cookies

The traditional Italian cookie, easy and delicious if you have a pizzelle maker.

Chocolate Malt Thumbprint Cookies

These were a fun an experiment. I love malted milk flavoring and well… it’s just not used enough!

Macadamia Macaroon Thumbprint Cookies

These are a nutty twist on the traditional macaroons.

Peppermint Twist Icebox Cookies

This is the perfect holiday pinwheel icebox cookie. I usually make them one night and then bake them the next day when I get home from work.

Double Chocolate Espresso Cookies

I think they are my favorite cookies that I make. They are to die for! Don’t eat them too late, the espresso will keep you up. This cookie dough is like brownie batter. Drop heaping mounds. The parchment paper is a must or these will stick.
