There is never a bad time for cookies! They’re my go-to bake for everything from Christmas parties and cookie swaps to bake sales and birthday parties. Sometimes I bake cookies for absolutely no reason at all! A cookie somehow makes every occasion better.

Explore all of my cookie recipes, including bakery-style cookies, sandwich cookies, biscotti cookies, slice-and-bake cookies, novelty cookies, Pennsylvania Dutch cookies, and more.


Pistachio Biscotti
An easy chocolate chunk tahini cookies recipe comprised of brown sugar, chopped dark chocolate, and tahini, a Middle Eastern condiment made from ground toasted sesame seeds. The tahini lends a nutty note (similar to peanut or almond butter) which pairs perfectly with dark chocolate. These soft, bakery style tahini chocolate chip cookies are easy to prepare and absolutely delicious.
