Chewy 3-Ingredient Peanut Butter Cookies
I’m an “instant gratification” kind of baker. Any baked good that’s deemed a “project” (with the exception of pumpkin cinnamon rolls, of course!) isn’t really my speed. Give me sweets that I can mix together quickly and easily, pop in the oven, and snack on in half an hour and I’m sold. Enter: 3-ingredient peanut butter cookies. Not only are these the absolute easiest, but they’re my favorite soft and chewy peanut butter cookies too.

Super-Soft Snickerdoodle Cookies
When it comes to cookies, we all have our preferences. Me, I’m a texture girl. I like them soft and chewy. From peanut butter cookies and oatmeal cookies to gingerbread cookies, any soft and chewy cookie automatically has my attention. These snickerdoodles were redesigned with that in mind. I often don’t like snickerdoodles that much; they get too crisp, too crunchy. Not these — they’ll still be soft days after you’ve made them.

Linzer Cookies
Linzer cookies might look like another pretty sandwich cookie, but these sweet-tart cookies have a rich, tender crumb, thanks to a nearly invisible ingredient. Almonds turned into almond flour make an everyday sugar cookie dough a tender, melt-in-your-mouth treat, fragrant with the warm notes of toasted nuts. Two cookies serve as the bookends to the sweet and sticky jam of your choice to transform into a holiday cookie made for customization. Here’s how to make them.

Food coloring comes out in full force around the holidays when it’s time to make colorful icings, candies, and other sweet confections.

Here’s a guide to the different types, how they can be used, and the pros and cons of each one! What it’s made out of: Synthetic colorings with a water base.

Cinnamon Roll Cookies
A cinnamon roll is something I almost always order when I try a new bakery. I love tasting baker’s iterations and interpretations of the classic treat. My favorite version of a cinnamon roll is something that’s soft and not overly sweet, and the cinnamon is prominent without being too overwhelming. These cinnamon roll cookies capture that in a quicker-to-make cookie that’s equally as satisfying.

The Official Ted Lasso Biscuits
Ted Lasso has been charming the pants off of viewers since it burst onto the scene in 2020, and it’s still going strong as it heads into its fourth season. But one lingering question remains: How do you make Ted’s “biscuits with the boss” biscuits? It’s fairly simple. You’ll need flour, salt, butter, and powdered sugar, and the recipe is easy to follow.

Pepperidge Farm Just Launched a New Fall Cookie That’s So Good, I Can’t Believe
When I think of Pepperidge Farm, I normally just think of Milano cookies. But it turns out that this company makes many of my grocery go-tos: Goldfish crackers, puff pastry sheets, farmhouse thin-and-crispy cookies, and Chessmen cookies.I have always loved a classic buttery Chessmen cookie (especially paired with a hot cup of tea).

Matcha Neapolitan Cookies 2.0
I have always had a soft spot for Neapolitan ice cream. My parents thought this was the best way to appease an indecisive child who typically preferred strawberry ice cream … except for the odd day I insisted on chocolate or vanilla. Neapolitan always gave the best of, not both, but three worlds. Despite my love for the classic flavors of Neapolitan (chocolate, strawberry, vanilla), there was always one flavor I gravitated to the least (sorry, chocolate!).
