Thousands of readers come back year after year for these beloved cookie recipes...

  1. Chocolate Salami: These unique crunchy cookies don't actually require any baking at all - just chilling. If you love chocolate, ganache, fudge, or truffles, this should be on your "must make" list this year.
  2. Soft Sugar Cookies: Super soft sugar cookies are chewy with a delicate vanilla flavor. No frosting needed! This incredible recipe was born by accident when substituting powdered sugar for some of the granulated sugar.
  3. Alfajores (Dulce de Leche Sandwich Cookies): These classic South American cookies are filled with melt-in-your-mouth dulce de leche and rolled in shredded coconut. They are so soft, delicate, decadent, and so easy to make! The secret to melt-in-your mouth cookies is using cornstarch in the dough.
  4. Nutella Stuffed Cookies: From the outside they look like an innocent butter cookie, but once you take a bite, you’re in for a sweet surprise! These thick and soft sugar cookies are stuffed with rich and creamy Nutella, perfect for chocolate lovers.
  5. M&M Monster Cookies: These are the best soft, chewy and thick monster cookies. Super easy to make and loaded with oatmeal, peanut butter, M&M’s and chocolate chips. The oatmeal gives these cookies the perfect texture.

Happy Baking!
