Great cookie recipes are like gold. Are there is a long list of great ones here! There are classics like chocolate chip cookies, shortbread, skillet cookies, and snickerdoodles.
All of which, I love to make with a little twist or update. There are also other crowd-pleasing wildcards here, like Nikki’s Healthy Cookies (really!), No Bake Energy Bites, and Limoncello Macaroons.
Cookies are often a favorite punctuation to everyday moments, or the best kind of homemade gift for a friend. Everyone can (and should) bake delicious cookies on occasion!

Kids love these animal-shaped cookies. They bake up fragrant, golden and crisp and are made from whole wheat pastry flour, a dollop of coconut oil, shredded coconut, ground walnuts, a touch of salt, and as little sugar as I thought I could get away with.
