    1. My parents have always made loads of cookies at christmas since I was a kid. I love their almond spritz cookies! The holidays just don’t feel right without them. And if we make them any other time of the year, it feels like a sweet bite of Christmas.

  1. While I certainly would never turn any cookie down, there is always something so comforting about a thick, slightly warm, chocolate chunk cookie.

    1. Candy cane cookies are my favorite! But I love all of the Christmas cookies my mom has made over the years. I just need to learn how to make them on my own 😉

    1. I love a chewy, crispy edged chocolate chip cookie!! At Christmas time I prefer a peppermint shortbread cookie! Yummy!

    1. While I’ve ever had a bad cookie, I especially love the Mexican wedding cookies at Christmas, because that is the only time my mother made them. She made them for me, grumbling about having to do so, but I knew they were made with all the love she had for me.❤️

  2. Our favorite Christmas cookie in our household is ‘Aunt Sally’ cookies…a molasses cookie with a hardened meringue like frosting! 🙂

    1. My favorite cookie is oatmeal with chopped pecans and chocolate chips. It is one that my mother always made for her 4 children to have on our long trips from Florida to New York every year.

    1. There’s something so irresistible about a buttery thumbprint cookie. I’m half Cuban so I love to use guava paste in there. I love when it melts and runs a little over the edges and creates this glaze over certain spots of the cookies.

    1. Oh my goodness something so comforting oatmeal raisin cookie I can make 4 do and my sis and can have them gone in a day or two nothing like it

  3. I would have said ginger/molasses cookies, but I recently made monster cookies to take somewhere and now I can’t stop craving them! Maybe a new favorite!

  4. If I had to pick just one cookie, and really how can you even ask that of me, I would pick Toll House chocolate chip cookies. They started me on my path to baking back when I was a child.

  5. Hi, there are just so many cookies I love but I am going to pick the first one I made years ago and it is the Biscoff Oatmeal cookie. My kids, like Josh are allergic to nuts. This was such a fabulous winner. I don’t know how you come up with all these tasty recipes but don’t stop I have followed you since you began this blog and enjoy all of your posts. Merry Christmas

  6. My favorite is a classic chocolate chip cookie, but for a fun holiday twist I’ll swap some of the chocolate chips for chopped up peppermint bark instead!

  7. I love oatmeal cookies with chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, and heath bits. And I think using butter flavored Crisco Sticks makes my cookies soft and delicious!

  8. I LOVE ginger cookies with lots of orange zest, especially this time of year. I also have a recipe for some espresso chocolate cookies that I’m looking forward to trying. Thanks!

  9. The Mexican wedding cookies are my favorite (btw I just tried your recipe the other day and WOW!), but I’m also just a fan of Christmas cookies in general.

  10. I love all oatmeal cookies, but my absolute fave are oatmeal scotchies just because they are a little “different” than your average cookie.

  11. Wow. Kind of like picking your favorite child……but if I could only have one kind I would have to say chocolate chip. Thanks for all you do on your blog. I love visiting here!

  12. I love Mexican Wedding Cookies (I think that is what they are called), but will never turn down one of the peanut butter/kisses cookies either:-) I probably make more chocolate chip cookie bars than is necessary, but they make everyone so very happy.

  13. Making me choose my favorite cookie is so difficult! There is one for every occasion. I mostly make variations of chocolate chip cookies (I am a sucker for the Levain Bakery copycat.) However, I am live for a cookie with oatmeal in it (monster cookie, oatmeal chocolate chip). As long as there is never a raisin or peppermint, I will devour it!

    1. Choosing just one is SO hard! We love love love the Salted Carmel snickerdoodles and I have to say my new favorite Christmas cookie is the Orange Pistachio cookies. So different and so so good!

  14. Oh it’s so hard to choose a favorite cookie!! But I’d say your snickerdoodles and flourless peanut butter chocolate chip cookies!!

  15. It’s so hard to choose a favorite cookie, but I guess I’d have to say your snickerdoodles and flourless peanut butter chocolate chip cookies!!

  16. Your Dark Chocolate chunk, Pistachio and Sea Salt Cookies. I made them last Christmas to give away I had so many compliments I’m making them again this year. Super yummy!!

  17. It is so hard to pick one favorite but if I have to choose just one, I think it is Snickerdoodles. Although I also have big love for molasses crinkles and chocolate chip

  18. Candy Cane cookies! I started making these every Christmas when my son was a toddler! I never knew how much of a tradition they had become until he went off to college. He phoned me just before Christmas break and asked me if I had made them yet. He proceeded to say that “It’s not Christmas time yet until the Candy Cane cookies have been made”! He has now blessed me with 3 grandchildren and they now look forward to them every year as well!

    1. I LOVE cookies in general but any chocolate chip cookie with nuts (macadamia, hazelnuts..) gets me going. Love your recipes, thanks!!!

  19. This is no contest – your Biscoff cookies are my FAVORITE. I’ve been making it for years, and it’s a perfect alternative as well for those who can’t eat nuts because it has a slightly nutty flavor.

  20. It is so hard to decide. Cookies are my weakness. My favorite is a chewy snickerdoodle cookie. Soft and buttery with cinnamon and sugar crunch on the outside. Mmmmm

  21. Your forcing me to pick one favorite cookie! I don’t know if I can but it would probably have to be shortbread cookies, any and all flavors. Your chocolate shortbread is one of my favorites.

  22. My wife is allergic to gluten, celiac disease. So we cope by eating our share of your Flourless Chocolate Cookies.

  23. My favorite cookie is a pumpkin raisin cookie. It is a recipe from a great aunt that I have made since childhood! They aren’t fancy (I don’t make them for Christmas) but they are definitely my kryptonite!! I can’t have them in the house for too long or I will eat them all!

  24. Thank you for offering this giveaway!!
    My favorite cookie is a chocolate chip cookie, especially right out of the oven!

  25. My grandmother’s ancient recipe for butter cookies. To this day, everyone refers to them as Grandmom M’s cookies.

  26. I LOVE THEM ALL however, since I can only pick one it would have to be a family recipe “Aunt Dora’s Italian Knots” she would make them in 2 flavors – the traditional Italian flavor Anise and for us kids (I’m 60+ now…lol) lemon. All had a white glaze with sprinkles….we loved going to her house as kids and now as adults we’re still making them!

  27. I think this changes weekly, but currently – my favorite is snowball cookies stuffed with mini peanut butter cups! So, so good with a cup of hot coffee!

  28. Do I have to pick just one?? Peanut butter blossoms. We roll the dough in red or green sugar before baking. But your hot cocoa cookies look like a new favorite. Will definitely be making some soon. Merry Christmas!

  29. Snickerdoodles are always a favorite but I am definitely going to have to try the brown sugar Carmel snickerdoodle sounds delicious

  30. My mom always made a holiday cookie that had a little well filled with cooked dates and nuts. We called them Date cookies. They bring back the best memories.

  31. My favorite to share with other people are sea salt caramel dark chocolate, but my favorite to hoard at home would be super basic craisin oatmeal cookies!

  32. My favorite Christmas cookies to bake are Russian Tea Cakes (aka Mexican Wedding Cookies or Snowballs) because they are my Dad’s favorite to eat and my Grandmother used to make them. My kids love to help roll them in sugar.

  33. Such a wonderful giveaway! My favorite cookies are monster cookies- peanut butter, oats, chocolate chips, & m&ms❤️

  34. My favorite is absolutely peanut butter cookies! Nothing better than warm peanut butter cookies with a glass of cold milk!

  35. Classic chocolate chip is my favorite. Sweet butter & chocolate in each bite, you just can’t go wrong with that!

  36. I love a short bread cookie with it being rolled in lemon curd then it gets rolled in powder sugar. I think it’s called a lemon snow drop.

  37. Our family favorite crave-worthy can’t stop eating them are Oatmeal Chocolate Chip cookies. My favorite make at Christmastime cookie is a Peanut Blossom – peanut butter and chocolate – yum!!!
    Thanks for this wonderful giveaway opportunity. I just found your blog this year through Pioneer Woman and have been enjoying all of your posts. Your cookbook is on my Christmas List but I’m pretty sure it will be a Christmas present to me if Santa doesn’t bring it. Merry Christmas to you and your wonderful family.

  38. Baklava is my favorite (though I’m not sure it’s technically a cookie). I’ve been making it for our Christmas celebration for twenty years, ever since my best friend and I made it for a class assignment in high school. It brings back good memories.

  39. My favorite holiday cookie is chewy ginger molasses cookies. They’re perfect with a cup of coffee and a good Christmas movie!

  40. LOVE the brown butter caramel snickerdoodles. Totally worth a little extra effort & everyone loves them (if there are any left to try 😉 )

  47. Mexican Wedding Cookies for sure!! (we called them Mexican Wedding Cakes growing up :)) Planning to make some today or tomorrow for our neighborhood party ;).

  50. Although I have YET to perfect it, divinity is my favorite! My grandma makes it every year and it’s to DIE for! I can’t seem to get the peaks just right, but I will keep trying!

  51. My favorite cookies are your Mini M&M’s Cookies. They are so soft and chewy every single time I make them. I love the mini size, especially for sending in my kids’ lunchboxes.

  52. ONE cookie?? Ugh if I must pick.. Oatmeal Raisin! Love the combo of warm spices, soft cookie and the feeling of eating healthier (because, you know.. oats) ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

  53. My kiddos & I LOVE your Whole Wheat Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies (made w/coconut oil) and my husband loves your Snicker-doodles.

  54. My favorite cookie has got to be birthday cake! Sprinkles can be cool as an adult. Love to crunch these into vanilla ice cream.

  55. My husband’s grandmother’s sugar cookies (with homemade icing!) are my favorites by far! We make about a million every year to share with friends and co-workers!

  56. Definitely Peanut Butter Blossoms! I recently started swapping the Hershey kiss with a Reeses peanut butter cup and OH MY. New Favorite. I also like to freeze them, last long and taste better!

  57. My favorite Christmas cookie is snickerdoodle! However, last year we made the peppermint bark chocolate chip cookies for the first time and they instantly became a family favorite and new tradition!

  58. My favorite cookies to eat and bake at Christmas time are Sugar cookies with Christmas decorations made with all colors of frosting. My kids love them and we have a wonderful time making them together.

  59. Peanut Butter Kisses cookies! I love these!! My son is now allergic to peanuts unfortunately and can’t have these cookies. I need to find a new recipe with no peanut butter! Hopefully I can find one

  60. My all-time favorite cookies are chai snickerdoodles – like a traditional snickerdoodle but spiced like a nice cup of chai tea!

  61. I love a butter cookie dipped in dark chocolate but also love a giant chocolate chip cookie!
    Thank you for the giveaway and happy holidays!

  62. I have two favorites. Oatmeal chocolate chip for traditional and your Glazed Lemon cookies for a refreshing sweet treat.

  67. My favorite cookies are Carmelitas. Chocolate, salty caramel, nuts, and a shortbread crust. They have ALL the flavors I love. Thanks for this great giveaway 🙂

  68. Changes, but currently really into the Olive Oil Shortbread with Rosemary and Dark Chocolate from Smitten Kitchen. They are delicious, quick, and not too sweet.

  69. My Grandmother’s jam jams from Newfoundland. We looked forward to her “parcel” every Christmas. sniff sniff….

  70. I’ve always been a sucker for Girl Scout Thin Mints! To get my fix, I mix chocolate protein powder, Sweetener, warm coconut oil, mint extract and form them into flat cookies and refrigerate. I get the minty chocolate taste I love without the guilt. ♥️

  71. Oh, fun. Hard to pick favorite, but Great Aunt Verna’s Scotch Shortbread is probably the one. Can be dressed up or not. And supposedly taste better after storing for a while, but I never find out.

  72. I love sugar cookies of any kind, but my favorite is Christmas cut out sugar cookies. We’ve made them every year since my kids were little. Now I’m starting to make them with my grandkids. They love to help roll, cut and paint them with the icing.

  73. Gosh, I don’t think I have a favorite cookie. I have a recipe for a dried cherry and pistachio biscotti that I love. And I’m always up for something chocolate mint!

  74. My favorite cookie has to be the classic chocolate chip!! I would love to get your cook book to get your amazing looking Chocolate chip cookie recipe!

  75. Hi! My name is Manuela and my boyfriend is Josh! Haha! We both love cooking a lot and our mixture of influences (mine: Brazilian and Italian; his: American and Mexican) gives us lots of inspirations to work with and, I must say that, the outcomes are unbelievably delicious.
    A good mix of recipes is your delicious Lemon Poppy Seed Cookies covered with Brazilian white chocolate Brigadeiro and topped with fresh raspberries. So good!

  76. Gosh, there are so many cookies to choose from. I like all kinds of cookies, but a good chewy chocolate chip cookie is hard to beat!

  77. It is so sad and disappointing that the contest is only for US residents. I have tried so many of your cookie recipes and would have loved to get that KitchenAid. Anyways all the best to all the participants.

  81. My favorite is simple butter cookies. They remind me of baking with my mother. She has the recipe on this ratty piece of paper and then the recipe was lost.

  82. My favorite Christmas cookies are shortbread cookies, the recipe has been handed down from my Great Grandmother❤️

  83. So many favorites but I love a good peanut butter cookie! Then again, warm chocolate chip always hits the spot and oatmeal raisin dunked in hot tea never disappoints. I love cookies!

  84. My favorite cookie for the holidays is Pizzelles, my Grandma started the tradition and sold them at her local church for 2 dollars to surprise my grandpa with their first TV for christmas. After my brother and I were born we started the tradition of making around 50 dozen of pizzelles every year to give to teachers, neighbors, local businesses, and friends. It is one of my favorite holiday memories, and so special that my grandma has been making them for over 60 years.

  94. Your Chocolate Crinkles are my favorite. I love how the melted chocolate gives them an elevated taste! I just made a batch last weekend. Thank you!

  95. Chocolate chip is the perennial and always cookie… but shortbread, peanut butter and meringues are all essential too!

  96. My mom just called them butter cookies. She made them every Christmas. They are made from butter, powdered sugar, regular flour and rice flour. They literally melt in your mouth. She got the recipe back in the late 40’s I believe and made them every Christmas. I’ve kept up the tradition and my daughter is now making them for her family.

  97. There’s nothing better than molasses cookies sprinkled with a little sugar. I make dozens every year because my grandchildren devour them.

  98. While I love all of your cookie recipes, Maria, my all time favorite has to be my grandmother’s molasses cookie recipe. I have an old, yellowed copy with measurements in “pinches” and “add until batter is stiff.” Every time I bake a batch I am transported back to her kitchen.

  99. Thumbprint cookies – super small ones to pop in your mouth and they melt into crumbs and you taste the jam and cookie!

  100. About 40 years ago the Barre Times-Argus (in VT) printed recipes for Disappearing Peanut Butter Cookies and Oatmeal Raisin Cookies (with dark molasses). Those continue to be my favorites after all these decades.

  101. Peanut Butter Blossoms are my ride or die. They bring back such fond memories of my childhood, my dad HATES peanut butter, and each time my sister and I would eat a cookie we would kiss him on the cheek and he would freak out.

  102. My favorite are Magic Cookie Bars, the kind with chocolate chips, coconut, nuts and sweetened condensed milk, with a graham cracker crust.

  103. It’s such a simple cookie, but the first cookie that came to mind were peanut butter blossoms – they are a holiday staple and I make them every year. My family also loves your Oatmeal Cranberry Sandwich Cookies with White Chocolate Creme Filling – they are so decadent and festive they have become a repeat cookie the past several years at the holidays. Happy Holidays!

  104. Fudge Nut Bars…..a layer of chocolate fudge sandwiched between two layers of chewy oatmeal goodness…a family favorite and must for the holidays!

  105. Mine is an old Italian recipe from my grandmother. They look like chocolate meatballs so that is what I call them.

  106. My favorite cookie is this chocolate salted caramel cookie i make with salted caramel chocolate bars, you can use milk or dark chocolate and you must sprinkle some sea salt on top when they are done baking. THEY ARE AMAZING

  107. Favorite cookie of all time has to be soft sugar cookie rounds with buttercream icing and Christmas red and green sprinkles!

  108. Fudge Nut Bars…..a layer of chocolate fudge sandwiched between two layers of chewy oatmeal goodness…a family favorite and must for the holidays!

  109. Basic sugar cookie cut outs with icing – my sister and I spent many a Christmas break decorating them at my grandmother’s house. They were always the centerpiece of the Christmas dinner dessert table!

  110. I LOVE sugar cookies. Also chocolate crinkles. And snickerdoodles. And ginger snaps. Okay, I don’t know that I’ve met a cookie that I didn’t love!

  111. Peanut butter Reese Cup Tassies and Snickerdoodles are tied. Probably because my grandmother always made them, but mostly because they’re delicious!!! ❤️

  112. I love a good snickerdoodle year-round! Christmas time I love peppermint chocolate cookies! Thanks so much for this giving — this is so neat and fun 🙂

  113. Love cookies so hard to say. If I had to pick one “true” cookie, I’d have to say Oatmeal Scothies.

    If you go by recipe names online I’d have to go with my Granny’s version of Peanut-Butter Chocolate Oatmeal “No-Bake Cookies”. We’ve always called them Oatmeal “Candy: though.

  114. I can’t help it but i have to go with a classic Chocolate Chip cookie. A cookie with a glass a milk and the day is instantly better.

  115. My favorite cookie is maybe more of a pastry -rugelach.
    My favorite cookie is a New York style linzer cookie – no nuts in the dough – still looking for the perfect recipe – most make a shortbread cookie, but that’s not exactly right.

  116. Pick a favorite cookie? That’s like asking me to pick a favorite grandchild!!

    Ok, I guess the cookie that gives me that warm Christmasy feeling the most are kleinur.

    They’re a Scandinavian cruller that’s flavored with cardamom, cut into diamond shape, slotted, twisted and fried like a donut until golden brown.

    The ultimate dunker!! ❤️

  117. There is nothing that is more all-year round as a classic chocolate chip cookie! When I first saw you sprinkle salt on them, I was doubtful, but It honestly took the cookie to a whole other level! Best cookies ever for sure!

  118. I’ve recently made your Classic Snickerdoodles recipe – I had never made that cookie before. They were delicious! But I have to say that my favorite cookie right this minute is Chocolate Covered Cherry cookies! Man I would love to win this package – 2019 has been very rough and to win this would just be the sweetness that I need!

  119. What a great giveaway, Maria and Josh! My favorite cookie is a warm oatmeal, chocolate chunk, and cranberry cookie dusted with sea salt flakes- yum-a-lum!

  120. Mexican Wedding Cookies, also known as Russian Tea Cakes are my very favorite cookies. I absolutely love them with a cup of ☕️. I’ve been making them for many years

  121. My favorite cookie is a super thin ginger crisp. They are as light and delicate as snow flakes yet have all the yummy flavors of a big gingerbread man in tiny bites. The scent is always pure Christmas and I love how it fills a room with the mix of holiday spices

  122. My favorite Cookie has to be either snickerdoodles or muddy buddy cookies! This would be an amazing giveaway to get!! Love your cookbook

  123. Favorite cookie is a recipe from my mom. No real name but a cut out cookie made with sweet butter, and the usual ingredients but only the egg yolks that are cooked and then smashed/strained over the dough. She only called them Sweet-Butter cookies but they have been a family favorite for years. Suspect they were a hand-me-down recipe from my great grandparents’ German bakery. My son used to call them “wax” cookies because you dip them in the beaten egg whites for a glaze before cooking,

  124. I love the Chocolate Crinkles!! Rich, moist and chocolatey!! The best, along with homemade Chocolate Chip cookies. Mouth watering right now!!

  125. Italian Ricotta with Sprinkles!! So light, fluffy… before you know, you’ve eaten had the pan and have to bake some more!!

  126. My favorite Cookie has to be either snickerdoodles or muddy buddy cookies! This would be an amazing giveaway to get!! Love your cookbook

  129. Cookie Press Cookies. So fun to make for holidays or anytime. Merry Christmas to you, Josh, Caleb and Maxwell. Thank you for all you do for your followers. It’s so appreciated!

  130. Chocolate chip. It’s more than just a cookie in our home. It’s time spent baking together with my kids. It’s a time to sit together with a treat and a glass of milk after school, sharing our memories from the day. Chocolate chip cookies have created so many amazing memories in my kitchen ❤️.

  131. My favorite cookie is a Kiflies. The sour cream dough and the walnut, brown sugar and cinnamon filling are the best. My husbands favorite is Pignoli. I only make them for special occasions and Holidays.

  132. Chewy chocolate chip and chewy oatmeal raisin cookies. These are my ultimate favorites. Although I try to limit my sugar intake cuz I do have a sweet tooth, I love bake these and keep a stash hidden (from my husband who loves these too) for when my cravings arise.

    Have to say your cookbook has become a big favorite in my house. All the recipes I’ve tried have been big hits. Thanks very much for that!

    L

  154. Your chocolate crinkles are yummy and will be gifting exchanging them this holiday season along with Mexican wedding cookies how festive and the peppermint bark chocolate chip is outstanding thank you for sharing your versions of these and will be trying more soon love your work Jeep them coming!

  155. Chocolate chip are my favorite, but around the holidays, I love to make overnight meringue cookies. They remind me of Christmas cookie baking with my grandma!

  156. My favorite to make: extremely-over-decorated cutout sugar cookies with the kiddos…. My favorite to eat: gingerbread crinkles all by myself with no one watching…. Happy Holidays!

  157. Hi,
    Oatmeal raisin cookies are just yummy and because it’s oatmeal I kinda feel like it’s a little healthier than say chocolate chip cookies. Lol.

  158. Thumbprints are my favorite their delicate and rich you can’t just eat just one. My mouth is watering already. Easy to make.

  159. Biscotti … any kind will do, perfect on it’s own, (plain or dipped in chocolate) and always lovely when gently dunked in a steamy cup of milky tea !!

  160. My favorite cookies are a tie between my chocolate fudge halva cookies (like peanut butter cookies made with tehina) and coffee bars (so addictive).

  161. The chocolate drop cookies on your website that have a Hershey kiss pushed into them. I added peppermint to the dough and used mint truffle kisses. They were delicious.

  162. A favorite cookie?? That’s like asking me to pick a favorite grandchild!

    The one that’s makes me feel like a Christmasy kid again is kleinur. They are a Scandinavian (Icelandic, Danish in my case) cruller spiced with cardamom, rolled, cut into diamond shapes, slotted and fried like a donut til golden brown.

    The ulimate dunker. I cant wait to fry up a batch!

  163. I love those Oreo type cookies, where you have a chocolate cookie on the top & bottom & then a yummy creamy filling in the middle 🙂 Not sure what they’re called, but super yummy to eat! I’m also developing a new love of shortbread cookies! Awesome giveaway!!!

  164. My favorite is your s’mores cookies, my kids have loved them for years and I’ve made them for parties and they’re always gobbled up!

  165. Oreo white chocolate pudding cookies-I’ve made so many batches over the years and they are always my most requested. But really all of your cookies are amazing! You are my go to for fool proof cookie recipes! Thank you!

  166. Absolutely Love your blog, and all your recipes have turned out amazing. Thanks for the chance to win a new mixer. I would love to have one. I’ve been married for 23 years and have raised 6 kids. Years of using a hand mixer has been a struggle.

  167. “CHOCOLATE CRINKLES” are #1 – the absolute best in everyone’s book that I’ve made these for so far 🙂

  168. Oh for sure the Mexican Wedding Cookies. As a “seasoned” baker so to speak. I still learn things from you. Love the canied pecans in the recipe.

  169. Oh for sure the Mexican Wedding Cookies. As a “seasoned” baker so to speak. I still learn things from you. Love the canied pecans in the recipe.

  170. COOKIES are my Achilles’ heel! I love them all so much! I love a gooey cookie, especially oatmeal raisin, but SNICKERDOODLES are my all-time fave!

  171. My favorite is classic chocolate chip, but I also looooove chocolate chip with walnuts ty so much for this giveaway, Happy Holidays!

  172. I have made so many of your cookie recipes. Love them all but the chewy coconut/oatmeal are my favorite.
    Never had a stand mixer.

  173. At Christmas time, my favorite cookie is the Candy Bar Cookie. It was a Pillsbury Back-off winner during my childhood.
    The rest of the year, I love a delicious Chocolate Chip Cookie. I’m a 5th grade teacher, and it seems all the staff members at my school love them, too. I make a double batch of them several times a year and bring them in for recess treats (….especially during the SBAC Testing in the spring. Everybody needs a cookie when their class is taking those tests!).

  174. Mexican Wedding Cookies..when I was a kid – we called them snowballs- I thought they were Italian cookies because they were always on my Italian family’s cookie trays at Christmas time and weddings! No matter – I love them!

  175. Here’s the thing Maria, there isn’t a cookie I’ve had that I don’t love. My favorite is baking cookies to share.

  176. I LOVE cookies in general but any chocolate chip cookie with nuts (macadamia, hazelnuts..) gets me going. Love your recipes, thanks!!!

  177. My favorite cookies are knekk-kaker (delicious Norwegian cookies) or fedtebród (delicious Danish cookies). Both are popular Christmas cookies in Scandinavia, and so wonderful! What a great giveaway.

  178. Our family favorite is the “Two Peas” soft ginger with white chocolate . Started as a holiday cookie, but now a year round request!

  179. “*”
    Cookies
    are THE best
    – ALL cookies!!!
    The HOT CHOCOLATE
    cookies are my newest fave –
    truly a little slice of hot chocolate!

  180. My husbands Grandma Peck’s sugar cookies! They’re soft with a touch of nutmeg and rolled in sugar and are so yummy!

  181. My favorite cookie is either a rolo cookie recipe I found a couple years ago or the “kitchen sink” or “triple chocolate” cookies my work makes.

  182. My favorite cookie is the classic oatmeal and I like to mix up what I put in it–raisins, or dried cherries & dried apricots! So yummy!

  183. Oh my gosh, just one, very difficult. Will have to think about this my mums melting moments( we call
    them yo yos), no, my aunts ginger nuts,um no my grandma’s anzac cookies, yes like an oat, honey and so yummy.

  184. My favorite cookie to make is a chocolate chip cookie with walnuts from scratch! I especially enjoy making them on Christmas Eve and delivering them to the houses in my neighborhood as well as my family members.

  185. Nothing beats a homemade cookie. So hard to pick one favorite but if forced to pick one classic chocolate chip fresh out of oven.

  186. I started baking cookies at the holidays when my children were young. Now they’re grown and no longer live with mom, but they expect their favorite cookies each year when they come home.Each year at Christmas there are three favorites that I have to make Chocolate Tassies, Pecan Tassies and Italian Anise Cookies. It just wouldn’t be the holidays without them! However, my daughter is now vegan, can you recommend any yummy cookies for me to bake for her? I can do a sugar cookie using vegan butter.

    The last couple of years my sister and I have also decided to try one new cookie and we have added some new favorites that way.

  187. My favorite cookie is 3 ginger, love the fact that ginger is a digestive. Love cookies, I call myself a “cookie. Monster”. But always want them to have a health benefit as well.
    Thanks for all the great recipes!
    Linda

  188. I love just about any of the cookies. If I have to pick a favorite it would probably be, snickerdoodles, chocolate chip, peanut butter or oatmeal. Sorry, it’s hard to just pick one. I hope you and your family will have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

  189. Peanut Butter Blossoms! I made this recipe last year and oh my! The kiss stays soft when you eat them. Not just straight out of the oven but hours later. They’re so perfectly delicious!

  190. I make chocolate chip cookies on almost a daily basis..can’t beat them! When I want to treat myself..peanut butter blossom cookies when the kiss in the middle is soft and cookie warm..ahhh I’ve got to go make them NOW!!

  191. My favorite cookie is the pudding mix chocolate chip cookies!! I made them on Sunday! My mom calls these cookies the missionary cookies because whenever she sees Mormon missionaries or they come by the house she gives them a big bag of those cookies to take home. They are our go to cookie for sure!

  192. My forever favorite will always be Oatmeal chocolate chip! I’m always making yours as they are quick to whip up as they don’t require any chilling!

  193. Snickerdoodles. We’ve made these for years – and that’s saying a lot! Even if they get old (which is rare), they are great dunked in hot tea!

  194. What a fabulous prize. What a tough question! This time of year I usually say that my favorite cookies are crisp sugar cookies–that have been decorated by my kids and grandkids (makes me full of joy!) But I also love Snickerdoodles, jam thumbprints, date pinwheels and many more…

  195. My absolute favorite cookie is spritz–it just doesn’t seem to be Christmas if I don’t make a batch of spritz cookies!

  196. We made your Oatmeal Cookies this weekend and added white chocolate chips and dried cranberries. They were absolutely amazing and only lasted a few days in our house. Everyone loved them.

  197. What a great giveaway, Maria and Josh. My favorite cookie is a warm oatmeal chocolate chunk and cranberry cookie with a dusting of sea salt flakes!

  198. Everyone in my family has a favorite. My husband loves chocolate chip, my oldest daughter loves almond spritz, my youngest daughter loves oatmeal, and my favorite is peanut butter.
    Merry Christmas!

  199. My favorite cookie is your pudding chocolate chip cookie! I made them on Sunday and I froze half of the dough like you suggested so I could make more later! My mom also loved these cookies she always has chocolate chips and pudding mix on hand to make some cookies for someone in need.

  200. Is it even possible to pick just one?! 😉 pumpkin snickerdoodle, chocolate chip macadamia, dark chocolate chunk pistachio and sea salt…YUM!

  201. I love Cook’s Illustrated’s crunchy ginger snaps. Addicting & I could eat them all day! I make them small & they’re perfect for snacks.

  202. Peanut butter Cookies are my favourite with about only 4 ingredients and so easy to make resulting in a moist buttery bite of heaven ! Coming in at a close second
    Would be Ginger Cookies using stem ginger and an icing ,using some of the syrup from the stem Ginger with icing sugar …. Ah now I’m going to have to make some… a double batch as the make a great gift , always getting a wowzer from the recipients
    Happy Christmas guys

  203. Hard to pick a favorite! For the holidays, absolutely rolled sugar cookie cutouts, preferably frosted. other times of the year, it has to be snickerdoodles. Or chocolate chip, which are good all the time.

  204. My fave is cinnamon oatmeal cherry chocolate chip and a chocolate meringue called chocolate fancies. Fingers crossed for gift, what a lovely thing for you to do! Merry Christmas!

  205. I love thumbprints – made with raspberry jam in the center and rolled in crushed almonds. Real butter, real almond extract. Melt in your mouth! Yummy!

  206. Most days I’m happy with a chewy chocolate chip cookie, but when it comes to the holidays it’s much harder to pick a favorite! But I am a big fan of your recipe for soft gingersnaps with white chocolate cream cheese frosting! It is a MUST for our holiday cookie plate 🙂

    1. This is so hard because I love all of your cookies! I made your chocolate crinkles yesterday so I’m going with them as my favorite!

    2. My favorite has always been the Mexican Wedding Cookie. It is also my children’s favorite and now when my 12 year old granddaughter comes over to make cookies with me she had to make them for her dad. ❤️

  207. My favorite cookie of all time is oatmeal chocolate chip. This time of year it is my mother in law’s recipe for a cookie we call Sand Tarts. Having only eggs, sugar and flour. Rolled out thin. Topped with cinnamon and sugar with a sliced almond on top.

  208. Mexican wedding cakes,as I like to call them, are my favorite Christmas cookie. The first bite into the sweet powdered sugar as you try not to get covered in it to the crunch of the walnuts and buttery cookie. I love them!

  209. My mom was gifted a German recipe book and I found a Sand Tart recipe in it that is by far my favorite! The recipe is super simple and calls for almonds and pecans however I bake the w just pecans.

  210. My favorite cookies will always be the ones made with my family. You can taste the ❤️ Great memories. Maybe because it’s the time of year but a shortbread cookie ranks among my flavorites typo intended.

  211. Italian Cookies made with anise oil. I’ve been making them for close to 30 years..it wouldn’t be a Christmas cookie tray without them.

  212. I love classic chocolate chip (mainly for the dough!) or a really good frosted sugar cookie! My husband is the cookie master in our house and has been asking for a kitchen aid mixer since we got married.

  213. Your chocolate peppermint ganache cookies are my favorites. They look AND taste scrumptious, and they’re the reason I started following your blog.

  214. My favorite cookie during the holidays is definitely my great grandmother’s recipe for gingersnaps!! So delicious and fills my kitchen with a wonderful aroma and beautiful memories.

  218. On no, it’s your Butterfinger cookie for sure! I dont even like the candy but in the cookie it is divine! I made at least 12 of your cookies from your website for my son and daughter-inlaws baby shower. The crowd went wild! I ended up buying your cookbook as well. Wish you would come to Pittsburgh for a book signing.

  219. My favorite cookies are pizzelles. My grandfather was Italian so we always had these growing up. They’re not too sweet and great to dip in coffee.

  220. My favorite is an Oreo Stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookie. They are huge and super- indulgent, but shouldn’t all cookies be that way! Thanks for the awesome giveaway and Merry Christmas!

  221. Picking one favorite cookie is my own version of Sophie’s Choice — I LUV THEM ALL! LOL But, to follow the rules, I’ll have to go with one of the few cookies I have successfully baked, which is an almond lace cookie! (First runner up would be a ‘Polvoron’, a delightful Puerto Rican concoction!).

  222. Your oreo white chocolate pudding peppermint cookies are my favorite!!! I’ve been following you for awhile, and I added these to my Christmas cookie list a long time ago, and everyone LOVES them! (Sorry if this is a duplicate. My work computer doesn’t corporate sometimes!

My husband and I were married Dec 13th and I make them for a special treat for the both of us to celebrate our marriage. I love your cookbook and have made 3 different cookies already. Making the Mexican Wedding Cookies this Friday for our 44th anniversary. Merry Christmas to you and your family.

  229. I made your Mexican wedding cookies a while ago, got my eye on the brown butter caramel snickerdoodles and the pumpkin snickerdoodles – yummy!

  230. Latvian piparkukas (gingersnaps)- I learned how to make them from my grandmother, who learned from her grandmother.

  231. I love a really good Peanut Butter cookie! It is like amazing and I cant wait to make some more with my family!

  232. My favorite is a toss-up between classic spritz cookies that have been decorated with candied cherries and red hots or a soft-centered crinkle cookie.

  233. My favorite cookie all year around is sugar cookies but I always enjoy gingerbread cookies around Christmas!

  234. My favorite cookie is called a galette. It is an old recipe, famous in WV that my grandmother made every Christmas. It’s a thick waffle cookie and I loved it when she added black walnuts to the batter. She passed 5 years ago and I miss her so much. I miss those cookies too, always reminded me of her and of childhood holidays. I have her recipe and her old waffle iron, I need to give them a try.

  235. I think they are called peanut butter blossoms. It’s the peanut butter ones with the Hershey kiss in the middle.

  236. I love your pumpkin chocolate chip cookies!!!! Yes I am one of those crazy pumpkin anything folks, but that recipe is a keeper!!!!

  237. My favorite is anything with peanut butter! But my most favorite is the Peanut Butter Blossom! Classic cookie for the holidays – including Valentines or any other one!

  238. Really haven’t met a cookie that I don’t like but my favorite…molasses! My grandma made the best molasses cookies. I looked forward to Christmas time and making them with her. I am immediately transported back to a wonderful time when I eat them now, even 50+ years later.

  239. My favorite cookies are my mom’s pecan crescents. So buttery, loaded with pecans and dusted with powdered sugar, the best!

  240. My all time favorite is probably peanut butter cookies with chocolate chips, although it’s hard to choose just one!

  241. Your brown butter salted caramel snickerdoodles are to die for! I’m drooling just thinking about them, yum!

  242. My Finnish heritage will not allow me to deny my mom’s Finnish Spice Cookies – Nissu Nassu. The best Christmas memories of eating the dough waiting for the cookies to come out of the oven

  243. My favorite cookies for the holidays are peanut butter cookies with Hershey kisses on top. They are my favorite because I remember making them with my grandmother as a kid. I still have her recipe and love to bake it this time of year. Thank you – Happy Holidays!

  244. Our favorite Christmas cookie is an old-fashioned spritz cookie. And our new favorite cinnamon roll is your dad’s. They ARE the BEST! Thanks for the chance for such a great giveaway.

  245. Cookies cookies what a delight good for the heart and the hips!
    I love Kitchen Aid mixers I have one that is at least 40 years old still mixing and making delightful deserts.

  246. Bonafide sweet tooth here who loves ALL cookies but especially iced sugar cookies that are slightly soft. YUMMY! Also, love your hot chocolate cookies too!

  247. Pumpkin raisin! Not a holiday cookie but a favorite recipe from a great aunt that I’ve made since I was little. I cannot resist them–they are my kryptonite:)

  248. I would have to say the classic snickerdoodle! I would love to try the chocolate caramel pretzel and also the chocolate peanut butter cookie, these both sound amazing!!

  249. My grandmother used to make these chocolate cake cookies with chocolate icing. I always loved them so much! Since I don’t know how to make those, chocolate chip cookies are my next favorite.

  250. My favorite cookie is the chocolate chip peppermint crunch cookie! I make these cookies every year for Christmas. My family and friends love these cookies!

  251. My grandmother’s pineapple filled cookies. I just made them for the first time last Saturday. They’re soft and delicious.

  252. My favorite cookie nowadays is oatmeal chocolate chip. My 3-year-old grandson helped make them and they are delicious.

  253. My favorite cookie comes from my Dad’s obsessive love of chocolate chip cookies. But they have to be nice and crispy on the outside and super gooey in the center.

  254. Choosing a favorite cookie would be like choosing a favorite child! Impossible!! But I guess I’ll go with the one I had at my wedding (yes, I love cookies so much we had them at our wedding reception!). It’s a sugar cookie with royal icing. Preferably heart-shaped. <3

  255. My favorite Christmas cookie is shortbread! I do get so happy with chocolate drizzled peanut butter cookies. Oh, and Chocolate Chip! Wait…I can’t leave out Spritz cookies! Now I feel bad…who doesn’t love Rainbow cookies?!?!?! What a dilemma! Any cookie is good cookie!!!

  256. So tough to choose – but number 1 would be chocolate chip OR chocolate chip oatmeal! Started baking with my mom when I was little then continued on my own from high school on ❤️

  257. Shortbread cookies dipped in chocolate are my favorite although I had so many favorites I had to pick from a hat lol .

  258. Oatmeal chocolate chip sticks!
    Or snickerdoodles
    Or chocolate zebra cookies
    Orrrr peanut butter cookies with chocolate chips. I’m way too indecisive for this!!

  259. My favorite is definitely the good old chocolate chip cookie. I love them when they freshly just come out of the oven and are nice and soft and when you year the cookie apart the chocolate stretches across both pieces of the cookie. YUMMY!!! Just thinking about that makes me want freshly baked chocolate chip cookies. Well looks like off to the store I go

  260. There’s a cookie my mum, sister and aunts often make called nan khatai that I love (esp when freshly made!) but haven’t tried making it myself before. Also really enjoy jam buns- similar to a thumbprint cookie but the mixture is a bit different and has desiccated coconut surrounding the jam 🙂

  261. My favorite cookies are soft, warm snickerdoodles because they are not made very often. I will always pass store bought cookies for any homemade cookie though!

  262. Shortbread cookie with cream cheese frosting is my absolute favorite cookie. Snickerdoodle is an extremely close second. Love your blog!

  263. Mexican wedding cookies! Was never a fan until I made them with your recipe. Candied pecans are a MUST and they make the house smell AMAZING!

  264. Does it have to be one of your cookie recipes or can it be my fav?

    My chocolate chip cookie recipe given to me by my Aunt Martha many years ago, besides the vanilla flavoring I add a small amount of coconut flavoring, then shredded coconut and pecans………………..I really want to win – love Williams/Sonoma

  265. Hamantashen… Because you can practically make it whatever flavor you want! Raspberry
    alá Linzer tart; brownie filling; chocolate dipped; cream cheese dough or dairy free; really, I can’t complain!

    (Although, chocolate chunk is a close second )

  266. My favorite cookie is a fluffy chocolate chip with nuts. But I just saw you have a peppermint bark cookie that I will be making immediately!!

  267. My all time favorite is the Snickerdoodle. I remember a warm kitchen, the smile on my mother’s face and the smell of the cinnamon when I was a little girl as she was baking them. The memory, the smell and the taste is priceless and I’m not sure another cookie could take its place with me.

  268. My favorite Christmas cookie that I make every year is called a Yule Jewel. It is a light pastry sandwich cookie with cream filling. I cut them into different shapes, usually small trees and stars. They are an all-time favorite with our traditional holiday family parties. They melt in your mouth! I originally got the recipe from a girl I used to work with years ago. Her sister worked in a French restaurant and this is one of the items they would put out on their Sunday brunch.

  269. Depends on time of year…Holiday biscotti or Christmas. And really good chocolate chip or sugar cookies the rest of the year

  270. Hi there- I have been craving the iced sugar cooked. I think it is all of the Hallmark movies we have been watching lately. 🙂

  271. A soft, gooey chocolate chip cookie is my favorite but I love the classic spritzer cookie during the holidays!!!

  272. Ginger snaps! I got my recipe from a former student- she would share some with me and I just had to have the recipe. I’d never had soft ginger snaps rolled I sugar before that and I became hooked. Now they’re my go to comfort cookie!

  273. My mother-in-law’s cut out Christmas cookie with frosting. It’s been a tradition in my husbands family since he was a child & one I’m proud to continue with my grandchildren.

  274. My favorite is a chocolate chip cookie made with oat flour and dark chocolate!! But really, not much makes it to the oven

  275. My favorite cookie is a classic chocolate chip cookie!! But I might even consider adding a little modern twist with perhaps a little caramel or sea salt or even stuffed chocolate chip cookie. I can taste it now… fresh and hot form the oven.. all gooey and melting goodness….with a tall glass of cold milk!

  276. My ultimate favorite is chocolate chip cookies. They are so simple but simple done right. Nothing is better than a great classic.

  277. I have two actually. My other in law’s Nut Balls and Ina’s Thumbprint cookie. If they are within reach I would eat all of them.

  278. I will be trying out your Peppermint Bark Chocolate Chip cookie recipe and I know it will be one of my favorite recipes. Though for now, it’s a cookie my mom always makes every Christmas for my whole family. She is 84 years young and this is the last year she’s making her cookies. Next year I will carry on the tradition. I will bake her famous German Crescent Hazelnut cookies. That is my favorite cookie!!!

  279. My favorite cookie was one my German grandmother used to make. My grandpa wrote out the recipe for me in his flowing penmanship. “Christmas Butter Cookies” melt in your mouth. My grandmother cut them out in diamond shapes, did an egg wash and put a whole, blanched almond in the center. I have never tried to make them because my mom told me they were “tricky” to get right. I still have the recipe, maybe one day I will summon my courage and give them a try.

  280. My favorite cookie is definitely your recipe for peanut butter oatmeal. It knocked my family’s no bake out for the number one spot! I make it for all of our guests and their jaws drop at how good it is! Love that it is simple enough that all of my kiddos can help throughout the process!

  281. Each time we visit our grandchildren in Colorado and Virginia, they request me to make them King Arthur’s Cookie of the Year, chocolate chip oatmeal cookies. They are a huge hit with our family!

  282. So hard to choose a favorite – they’re all good lol. But it would have to be rugelach, any flavor! So delicious.

  283. My favorite cookie homemade is oatmeal butterscotch.
    If I am buying them, then Lemon Drop cookies from Panera (that’s the name I gave them).

  284. My favorite is Shortbread Cookies. And for a second choice Mexican Wedding Cookies
    Thanks for the opportunity

  285. My favorite are sugar cookies with decorative frosting, it’s yummy but it’s my favorite because it’s a family tradition!

  286. My inner kid is screaming sugar cookie (the more frosting the better)…. but my 40 year old self is siding with gingerbread. I love the flavors so much. Merry Christmas!!! And thanks for all the delicious recipes!

  287. My grandma’s cherry wink cookies. It came from a box of corn flake crumbs but isn’t Christmas until they are made!

  288. My favorite cookie is a Christmas classic in our family – my grandmother’s Lady Fingers, a buttery pecan oval rolled in powdered sugar.

  289. My favorite cookie is one that is warm and gooey from the oven! Really! Otherwise, I’m kind of ho-hum about cookies.

  290. Love love love the Triple Chip Chocolate Cookie! Made them for a work cookie exchange and they were a hit there too!

  291. The cookies we are stuck on right now are called “I Want To Marry You Cookies”. They are a cross from a soft oatmeal and a chocolate chip. The one change I made was I use dark chocolate covered raisins along with equal amounts of milk and white chocolate. They just fly off the pan. I want to freeze the dough next time if everyone doesn’t beg for more.

  292. My favourite is peanut butter oatmeal. I love them because they are the healthiest for me as a diabetic. Peanut butter is my protein and the oatmeal is a slow releasing carbohydrate that is full of fibre and other ingredients for my digestive system.

  293. Pecan Tea Cookies! Melt in your mouth goodness after which you must lick the powdered sugar from your fingers!

  294. My favorite cookie is Mexican Wedding Cookie which to our family is “Butterballs”! Thanks for the giveaway!

  295. For starters… all of them 😉 but really a favorite of mine is the classic chocolate lovers chocolate chip. Each year my work does a cookie swap for the holidays and I always choose a two peas recipe! Last year it was the chocolate salted caramel pretzel cookies! I’m still meandering through your archives for this years but your insta posts lately have given me all the inspo!!! If you have a recommendation or a fav please share!

  296. My great Aunt Edna’s ginger cookies. They’re like potato chips; can’t eat just one. and so good with coffee. Thank you for the giveaway.

  297. My favorite of your cookie recipes is definitely the double chocolate and andes mint chookies with peppermint on top! my husband loves them so much he starts asking me to make them in September.

  298. My favorite cookie is this amazing chocolate covered cherry cookie we make every year for Christmas. Oh. My. Word. A soft chocolate cookie base with a maraschino cherry in the middle and chocolate fudge sauce made with the cherry juice drizzled on top. So flippin good!

  299. Anything brown butter is so good! Loved the brown butter salted caramel ones!! I was on the hunt the other day for a white chocolate macadamia one and noticed you didn’t have a recipe (first time that’s ever happened ), if you’re looking for a new one to try… I recommend!!

  300. It’s so hard to decide between the pumpkin cinnamon chip , salted caramel pretzel and peanut butter but I think I have to go with peanut butter.

  301. Snickerdoodles! I’m planning to try your recipe with the peppermint bark! We love chocolate chip, but JUST chocolate chip is what I consider a basic cookie…good, but basic. Adding peppermint bark….oh that sounds delicious!

  302. Your pumpkin chocolate chip recipe is the best Cookie and by far my family’s favorite. It is the only cookie we all like. It has the perfect texture and spice!!

  303. How do you pick one favorite cookie? I guess I’ll go with the bakery style M&M cookie I remember as a treat from childhood.

  304. It’s a toss up for me between white chocolate craisin oatmeal cookies and chocolate crinkle cookies. I’m always in the hunt for a new cookie recipe to test out!!

  305. tough call. my mother’s christmas sugar cookie is probably the one I would love to eat. shame I never got the recipe.

  306. I love your recipe of chocolate turtle cookies and use the chocolate cookie dough as a base for many other chocolate cookie recipes (m&m’s added in, peanut butter chips, or right now i love to add in peppermint chips)! Yum! Would LOVE to win this package!!! So fun!

  307. My favorite Christmas cookie is a recipe my 92 year old mother made when we were kids using the recipe from the Aunt Chick cookie cutter. I like the Santa’s best. I frost them with butter cream in a decorator tube for his whiskers then press coconut into the frosting. They started making the cutters again and I was able to get them for all my 7 kids one Christmas.

  308. I never met a cookie i didn’t like!!
    In this neck of the woods we make a chocolate jumbos and another old fashioned cookie are raisin stuffed cookies. Since I am half scottish – I love homemade shortbread! They are all delicious!!

  309. Well if you are making me choose just ONE… Polish kolachky’s are my favorite to bake (and eat!) at Christmas! 🙂

  310. My favorite cookie is the all time, infamous, peanut butter cookie. I make a batch almost every week and freeze them. When they are gone, it’s mix, bake, eat, repeat. I have the best, no fail, peanut butter cookie ever.

  311. My absolute favorite cookies are a nice soft peanut butter cookie with chopped up bits of reeses peanut butter cups

  312. Chewy Ginger Molasses cookies are definitely at favorite!
    Please help…my Kitchen Aid died and it’s holiday baking season!
    Sure could use a new one 😉

  313. My favorite cookie is the ultimate, all time, classic, peanut butter cookie. I made a batch of them almost every week, and freeze them. When they are gone, it’s mix, bake, eat, repeat. I have the best peanut butter cookie ever.

  314. Good old fashioned sugar cookies – decorated all pretty for the Holidays. Brings back memories of my great-grandmother and simpler times. Thank you for this blog- lots of great ideas!

  315. Chewy Ginger Molasses are for sure a favorite! Please help…my Kitchen Aid just died recently and it’s holiday baking time. Sure could use a new one 😉

  316. I was getting all excited about entering then I read it was for US residents only. We Canadians love cookies too! My favourite is chocolate chunk/cranberry/pecan cookies.

  317. I love chocolate peanut butter cookies. You make a peanut butter “ball” and surround it with chocolate cookie dough. So good!

  318. How can anyone pick just ONE cookie?? If I had to choose just one, it would be shortbread cookies. But if there were others, Mexican Wedding cookies are good too!! Thank you for bringing us so many recipes to try. All of the recipes that you’ve sent me are good and easy to make!! Thanks

  319. I love a soft and chewy snickerdoodle cookie. I haven’t tried yours with brown butter yet but it’s on my Christmas baking list!

  320. Just one favorite? That’s a tough one. Can we pick favorites according to type of dough, season, and general mood? =D

    If we’re singling out just one kind, I would have to say a big chocolate chunk cookie with toffee bits and peanut butter chips.

  321. My favorite recipe for cookies is the ultimate nestle chocolate chip recipe. Love these and I add chopped walnuts to this recipe, yummm..❤️

  322. My favorite cookie is your chocolate chip with the salt flakes sprinkled on top! I enjoy your new cook book. Thank you.

  323. Some many good choices to pick from BUT the Hot Cocoa Cookies are a MUST in our house! They are the crowing touch to a night by the Christmas tree watching holiday movies.

  324. My favorite cookies are either Dorie Greenspan’s world peace cookies or good old fashioned lemon meltaways. Covers my two main cravings, chocolate and citrus!

  325. I love lots of cookies, like everyone on this planet. I love the special cookie that my Nannie and I found when I used to bake with her on weekends. We found Angel Crisp Cookies.
    It was a fun cookie because we were able to decorate with seasonal colors of sugar, which was the only kind we had. At Christmas we could do some red sugar or green and then the combo of the two. They were crispy on the edges and chewy inside. They were lovely and so delicious. We loved to give them as gifts.
    We made one little tweak. We added a few drops of lemon extract. It makes a delicious difference. We loved most of all to criss cross with a fork and sprinkle with sugar and then tap with cinnamon.

  326. My mom passed on a recipe for buttercakes. It is a very thin sugar cookie with lemon zest in the dough. She remembered getting oatmeal boxes filled with them at Christmas time. It is even more special and a favorite now than my mom is no longer with us.

  327. At Christmas it has to be my mom’s Candy Cane Shortbread Twist cookies but in general soft chocolate chip is my favorite. 🙂

  328. My favorite cookie is your chocolate chip recipe! I’m about to bite into one right now with a cup of tea on the side! Also, I have to say that I LOVE your cookbook. I don’t own it (yet!), but asked my library if they had it. They didn’t, but offered to purchase it. They did, and I was the first one on the waiting list! The sweet potatoes with black beans and enchilada sauce is a favorite and on the weekly winter rotation. Also, your cookbook setting on my counter got many oohs and ahs from guests who now own it as well! Thanks for bringing fresh, accessible and nourishing dinners to our tables!

  329. My favorite are oatmeal scotchies. I could eat an entire bag of those butterscotch chips if I didn’t show restraint. I try to save half the bag for the cookies!!

  330. My favorites are my spritz cookies! I got the recipe from a coworker years ago and never looked back! They’re the best sandwiched with raspberry jam and dipped in chocolate. Yum!

  331. I might just be weird but not a big fan of chocolate. So my favorite cookies are lemon ricotta cookies. I love the lemon flavor that comes through from the lemon juice and lemon zest. Super soft little clouds of lemony goodness. YUM!!!

  332. My favorite is Brown butter butterscotch oatmeal! But is hard not to love Mexican wedding cookies..(ok just one more…The Ultimate chocolate chip cookie).

  333. My absolute favorite is an Andie’s mint cookie. A chewy, intensly chocolate cookie with an Andie’s mint melted on the top. Makes a really pretty cookie too with a light green swirl.

  334. Oh my gosh, how incredibly generous! Merry Christmas to you and your family! My favorite cookie is either a simple chocolate chip cookie (though I ADORE your Nestle Crunch adaptation) or a chocolate peanut butter no bake. No matter how many fancy ones I make, the simple classics always remain my favorites.

  335. I love any cookie, if I had to pick it would be anything with butterscotch, frosted or reese’s peanut butter cups added. I wish everyone a very awesome, blessed, happy and Merry Christmas with lots of sugar sprinkled on top.

  336. I’m pretty much a chocolate chip fan, but love cookies, so will eat just about any type. I am a huge cookie baker, baking several dozen every month!!

  337. Almond flavored Spritz cookies. A must make every Christmas in memory of my mom. She would make them on rainy days and every Christmas. I have passed on the recipe to my 13 year old granddaughter, who lives to bake.

  338. I would have to say the brown butter caramel filled snickerdoodle are the best ever. So moist and gooey.

  339. Honestly all cookies are my favorite! But if I had to pick, I’d probably choose the classic chocolate chip. You just can’t go wrong!

    1. Oatmeal raisin are my all around favorite but your chocolate lovers chocolate chip are amazing!

  340. I love so many cookies but I always keep your triple-chip cookies in a bag in the freezer for when I need a mid-day pick me up! They are so good!

  341. I love a good chocolate chip cookie not flat but a bit crispy on the edges
    I can’t wait to own a kitchen aid mixer

  342. I would be hard pressed to name just one cookie but here goes: My mother’s peanut butter! (I have such fond memories of the aroma whenever I would walk in from school and smell them baking.)

  343. I love Mexican wedding cookies. I haven’t had them since my mom passed away. She made them every year at Christmas time and they bring back so many memories. Maybe this is the year that I will try her recipe.

  344. Although I️ am a Chocoholic my favorite Christmas cookie these days is my recipe for Molasses Spice Cookies!

  345. Mexican Wedding Cookies/Russian Tea Cakes! LOVE LOVE LOVE them!!!!!

    Thanks for the opportunity to enter such a wonderful and generous giveaway!!

  346. Traditional chocolate chip cookies are my favorite. . . Oh wait I like coconut macaroons too. Oh wait I love lemon cookies too. 🙂

  347. Chocolate Crinkles. I am ashamed to say I have eaten way too many of these. Oh heck, guess I’m not ashamed.

  348. What cookie isn’t good? I love chocolate chip and just recently made the Pumpkin Cinnamon cookies which are awesome!

  349. I love a classic chocolate chip cookie. I’d love to gift this mixer to my mother-in-law who is very generous to us!

  350. My new favorite is Cherry Garcia Chocolate Chunk cookies. We bake at least a dozen different cookies every year, mostly the standards but love to try a few new ones every year.

  351. My favorite cookie is your brown butter salted caramel snickerdoodle – always a showstopper at work! ☺️

  352. It is my great-grandmothers green and red maraschino cherry refrigerator cookies with pecans and dates. It has a rich brown sugar dough. What I love is you roll it up in parchment paper, freeze it and then cut off cookies when you want some and bake them! SO yummy!

  353. Good ol chocolate chip cookies! When they are fresh out of the oven. A little crispy on the outside and ooey gooey on the inside. Mmm!

  354. My favorite cookie is Old Fashioned Oatmeal!! I make them for my Dad. He loves them too!! It’s so hard not to eat them all. It’s a family recipe that I tweaked a bit 😉

  355. I just modified your chocolate peppermint cookies. Couldn’t find the peppermint crunch things, but found Heath bar toffee pieces instead. Oh, and left out the peppermint extract too. So I guess I made Chocolate Toffee Crunch cookies…these are now my favorite cookies.

  356. Your chocolate lovers chocolate chip cookies are ones I just simply can’t resist!! I’m in college and make them all the time, everybody loves them!!

  357. Oh, oh, oh…..choose just ONE??? So, so difficult, Maria!!
    I guess #1 would be a really good chocolate chip cookie, then peanut butter, shortbread….okay, okay, I’ll end this…..yummers!!

  358. The Brown Butter Salted Snickerdoodles are the best! we make a batch to keep in the fridge/freezer, take out a few at a time and serve warm!

  359. Sugar cookies using my Grandmas recipe. It brings back my childhood memories that I know share with my children!

  360. chocolate crinkles are the best–they just melt in your mouth and are the easiest cookie to bake and may be dressed up with hersey’s kisses.

  361. I just LOVE chewy cookies…Oatmeal chocolate chunk with dried cherries, or molasses (a definite favorite this time of year!) Hard to pick just one!

  362. I love all cookies but my favorite all time are soft ginger cookies. It’s the ones my kids always beg me to make!

  363. I love a good chocolate chip! My favorite recipe from two peas is brown butter snickerdoodle. And I can’t wait to try your shortbread cookie recipe 🙂

  364. My new favorite it your red velvet cheesecake cookies! Two of my favorite flavors wrapped into one amazing taste!

  365. My favorite cookie is the Monster Cookie. I love all the different bites of chips and crunch! Homemade cookies are my weakness!

  366. I love chocolate crinkle cookies and peanut butter blossoms. My mom and I bake Christmas cookies every year and I never tire of these two!

  367. Ooohhhh, just one… Probably chocolate peanut butter cup cookies. But I dont turn a good cookoe down when offered!

  368. I have tried two of your recipes to date. Either are a top choice but since I am a chocolate lover I would iv ave to say your chocolate chip cookies were pretty much a winner in our home. This was the first time I ever tried sprinkling sea salt on top of the cookies and it was absolutely delicious. P.S. It was hard to mix the dough and then refrigerate overnight but I agree that it made the final product taste better.

  369. Peanut butter blossoms are my jam. Never eat them except at Christmas time, and I eat enough to make the memory last all year

  370. Cookies are my kryptonite! But if I had to choose my very favorite, it would probably be a soft sugar cookie with buttercream frosting and sprinkles. Gotta have the sprinkles!

    The Taste is so simple but so scrumptious! I decorate a pretty mean snowflake in my Christmas cookies!

  380. Maria,
    I wanted you to know that your blog twopeas is the very first blog I have ever followed. You have the best recipes and pictures. I love to see what you come up with always. I loved when your youngest was born and you moved into your new home. It is fabulous! Thanks for all you do! And, don’t stop!
    Your Mexican wedding cookies remind me of baking with my Mom when I was a little girl. We always made them and made half of them green tinted and the other white. These will always bring back fabulous memories for me. Happy Holidays!

  381. Mexican Wedding Cookies! But without any nuts. My mom doesn’t like them with nuts so they’ve never been made with nuts!

  382. Warm chocolate chip cookies are one favorite but I also love snickerdoodles & molasses cookies! I cant choose just one!

  383. Gingerbread white chocolate cookies and chocolate crinkle cookies at Christmas time. Crispy on the outside, chewy on the inside chocolate chip cookies or sugar cookies any other time of year!

  384. One of my very favorite cookie recipes of yours is the oatmeal cookie with white chocolate and dried cranberries! I remember looking for the perfect holiday cookie recipe back in 2009 that I could send to my brother who was out serving an LDS mission in Portland, OR. I decided to give this wonderful recipe a shot- and it was his absolute favorite gift he received that year. There’s just something so special about receiving homemade cookies while you’re away from home.
    All your cookie recipes are great, but this one holds a special place in my heart. Thank you, Maria!!

  385. One of my favorite new cookies that I made this year were trail mix cookies they were sooooo good! Cinnamon, cranberries, choco chips, oatmeal, and pumpkin seeds kept the taste buds guessing with every bite!!

  386. I pretty much love all cookies. My waistline can attest to having never met a cookie I didn’t like, but I have a soft spot for a snickerdoodle or a classic sugar cookie!

  387. My favorite cookie is turtle – caramel, chocolate, pretzel and a sprinkle of Maldon mixed in with a yummy cookie dough!

  388. My grandma’s sugar cookie is my very favorite cookie. In a time crunch though, I always go for traditional chocolate chip cookies.

  389. I am going to choose the Brown Butter Salted Caramel Snickerdoodles; I made them last year and thought they were the loveliest of the cookies I made for the holiday; and the first to come to mind when cookie planning this year. But I have loved all the cookies I make from your recipes – thank you! HAPPY Christmas to your family.

  390. My absolute favorite cookie is a classic oatmeal cookie. I just love them so much, esp warm out of the oven!

  391. My ultimate and go-to cookie is oatmeal raisin. It is not only the best taste and blend of two greatest ingredients but it is also nostalgic for me. Ever since I was young, a neighbor, older – kind woman would bake cookies and leave them out by her window. Going down the street in my bike, I would smell the freshly baked cookie. It was how I was introduced to this cookie and forever remember her memory. Oatmeal raisin is the best cookie.

  392. So hard to choose! Chocolate chip with sea salt will always be my go to or anything with chocolate and peanut butter.

  393. My favorite cookie to make is my Nana’s recipe for chocolate chip cookies. It’s been in the family for years and is the best cookie I’ve ever had!

  394. We are a big cookie loving family. From chocolate chip, oatmeal raisin, carrot cake, and some traditional Armenian cookies. Specially Nazook 🙂

  403. It’s hard for me to pin down a favorite cookie – I love so many kinds! But, this time of year, the one at the top of my list is Chocolate Chip Peppermint Crunch cookies! I made a special trip to get Peppermint Crunch Junior Mints today so I could bake up a batch this weekend!

  404. My favorite cookie is Cream Wafers. I was moving at Christmas one year and a friend brought me a box of cookies. They were the best gift!

  405. For the holidays all time favorite frosted sugar cookies and 2nd place is chocolate Carmel sea salt thumbprint and anytime of the year is peanut butter kiss cookies.

    1. For Christmas my favorite is peanut butter blossoms. But for the rest of the year it’s brown butter chocolate chip

  406. My fav cookie is the Wedding Cookie. It brings back childhood memories of when you didn’t care that you had powdered sugar all over your clothes.

  407. Wow- this giveaway is my baking heaven!! Williams Sonoma is like my guilty pleasure store and I have your cookbook on my Christmas list! My favorite cookie has to be a classic ginger snap. My grandma has the absolute best recipe I’ve every tasted. Soft, but chewy. So delicious!!

  408. Ultimate peanut butter cookies!

Of course I had to make then again this year at his request for his first day of first grade. Thanks for the recipe!

  412. How does one pick a favorite?? Ugh! Browned butter molasses cookies, Christmas pinwheels, cranberry orange cookies, peanut butter balls, peppermint mocha cookies, eggnog cookies…There are not enough hours in the day! And my KitchenAid (my BFF) just died this week after 18 year’s. My heart is broken!

  415. My favorite cookie is sugar cookie! We o ly make them at Christmas and use my grandma’s recipe. So good and simple.

  416. Honestly it’s a toss-up between the chocolate peppermint ganache cookies and the banana oatmeal chocolate chip cookies. I made the banana oatmeal ones with my grandma growing up and those will always be one of our family’s favorite! ❤

  417. I love snickerdoodle cookies although I never made them from scratch, they’ve always reminded me of my childhood a much simpler time.

  418. I love sugar cookie cut-outs. I also love decorating them with my children, even though they are grown. It is one of our favorite Christmas activities.

  419. Nothing better than a warm semi sweet chocolate chip cookie with flaky sea salt on top! In fact I’m dying to try your recipe 🙂

  420. My favorite cookie is one that has been handed down through my mom’s Luxembourg family. I am the current holder of the meat grinder that my great grandmother used to make spritzer cookies. It includes the hand made star tip that attaches to the front so you can run the dough through the grinder. They are very labor intensive but worth the joy it brings my family when I give them a tin of cookies for the holidays.

  421. We love the Chocolate mint Oreo cookies! I just finished the last one out of my freezer and decided I need a fresh batch.

  422. I love chocolate chip cookies! They are such a classic cookie that is easy to whip up and makes everyone happy! The salty-sweet buttery chocolate combination is a definite winner in my house!!!

  423. All of your cookie recipes are delicious. My family’s favorites are the snickerdoodles, chocolate crinkle and the pumpkin cinnamon.

  424. I love short bread cookies! My mom and grandma made them when I was little and it’s the first cookie I really remember. They are also the perfect accompaniment to a cup of tea!

  425. Triple chocolate chip but made dairy and egg free for my allergic daughter… we bake a lot because we love to but also because of her allergies.

  426. It’s tough to pick just one cookie but one of my favorites is oatmeal cookies made with chocolate covered raisins – super yummy!

  427. My favorite cookie is a Chewy Cookie from Bisquick. It’s delicious and buttery with pecans and coconut, with just the right splash of Vanilla! My family calls them chewy cookies,but Bisquick name is Bisquick Bars ! They are so delicious and soooooo rich!

  428. Chocolate chunk is definitely my favourite!

    But around the holidays I also love alfajores and what my family call “rollie cookies.”

  429. A couple years ago I found a double chocolate cookie and replaced the chocolate chips with butterscotch chips. Chocolate and butterscotch is now my favorite combo.

  430. My favorite cookie is my dad’s shortbread, it was a family tradition every year and had been passed down from generation to generation. I received the recipe last year when my dad passed away to continue moving to more generations.

  431. At Christmas, I can’t get enough of molasses cookies or gingerbread! Other times of the year, it’s hands down brown butter espresso pistachio chocolate chip!

  432. My favorite cookies are grapefruit rosemary shortbread with grapefruit curd filling, so fresh! But the anything chocolate is always amazing too

  433. Boy, this is tough to choose just one! During the holidays I’d have to say a good chocolate dipped shortbread cookie! What a great giveaway! Thank you and happy holidays!

  434. I make iced sugar cookies every year and they are my favorite! THis year I made candy canes, snowmen, lights, stars, and holly.

  435. My favorite is a yummy recipe for a chewy gingersnap cookie that has a little extra kick from pepper. Second choice is semisweet chocolate chip with nuts. Third choice is lemon bars from scratch with fresh lemon juice. Cookie monster, nom, nom, nom! Thanks!

  436. I haven’t ever met a cookie I don’t love. They are my favorite things to make. I have a picture my daughter made me when she was little that said, Best cookies in Kansas. Their friends always request my sugar cookies and monster cookies!

  437. I’m not sure there is anything better than a thick, soft and chewy gingerbread cookie for the holidays. Simply the best!

  438. Seriously, my favorite cookies are the chocolate chip from your cookbook!! They’re so amazing! I also love flourless double chocolate cookies.

  439. Chocolate crinkle cookies! (The first non-chocolate chip cookie I learned how to bake by myself as a kid… and they’re basically brownie cookies so what’s not to love?!)

  440. My favourite is an Italian Rainbow Cookie! That almond/ raspberry/ chocolate combo is incredible, and all so pretty to look at!

  441. Ahhh! This would be amazing! I love all your cookie recipes. My favorite are still chocolate chip but I always love any of your desserts with brown butter in them. I have your cookbook on my Christmas wishlist and hope someone takes the hint!

  442. I don’t know if I can pick just one! I love a good chocolate chip cookie, but recently made your triple chocolate cookies and those have now become a kitchen staple.

  443. I’m not one to discriminate among cookies, but it’s hard to beat a soft ginger cookie with crystallized ginger chunks and maybe an edge dipped in dark chocolate 🙂

  444. I love cookies so it’s hard to choose just one but I can always go for a chocolate chip cookie! Even better if they gave roasted pecans in them! Yummm!

  445. I love peanut butter blossoms. Growing up those were always the ones my siblings and I fought over when my mom returned from her annual cookie swap.

  446. My favorite cookie is (as my daughters jokingly call it) my secret family recipe. Actually, just look on the back of a bag of Tollhouse semi-sweet morsels. If I could only eat one cookie recipe for the rest of my life, it would be that.

  447. If I’m feeling something sweet I reach for a chocolate crinkle cookie. But when I want a little more spice it’s a chewy ginger molasses cookie!

  448. Short bread cookies – the BEST!! They remind me of my dear Mum too and making shortbread with her when I was little!! With her classic 1957 Kenwood mixer !

  449. You can’t go wrong with chocolate chip cookies! I’ve been making them since I was a kid and there is still nothing better than a warm, melty chocolate chip cookie straight out of the oven!!

  450. A perfect shortbread ❤️ From memories of making with my great-grandma and then grandma……to making with my children and to new memories with the new grandbaby. Shortbread.

  451. My favorite cookie are these candy cane shaped cookies my dad makes for Christmas- weirdly enough they taste like almond rather than peppermint

  459. My favorite is the zucchini coconut chip cookie. I discovered these a couple years ago and now make for several of my friends.

  460. Love shortbread cookies! My grandmother always made them at Christmas and brought them when she came to visit. My brother and I would always try to grab the box with the cookies when we emptied the car so we could get the first one. Mmmm!

  461. We always make peanut butter blossoms and oatmeal cranberry chip. But I think the fave has to be cut outs with decorations!

  462. I’d love to win this. My fav classic holiday cookies are the peanut butter blossom. When you posted the receipt it brought me right back to Christmas Eve at my Grandmother’s. I’d make them now, but I’d eat them all 😉

  463. It’s like asking who my favorite child is…
    To make for others, probably decorated sugar cookies.
    To make for me, probably molasses crinkles.

  473. I just love peanut butter blossoms. I would love to win this package my small mixer broke. ‍♀️ Hope I win….

  475. My favorite cookie is the classic snickerdoodle. I used to make them for my children all of the time. Chocolate chip with walnuts is a close second.

  476. All of your recipes inspire me to be more creative with cookies, so thank you! I love all of them, but I would have to say Mexican Wedding Cookies.

  477. At Christmas time my favorite cookies are Italian S’s and O’s! Baked from my Nana’s own hand written recipe. ❤️

  478. My favorite cookie is your peanut butter oatmeal cookies! I love the combination! My go to peanut butter cookie recipe!

  480. Chocolate lace cookies are my favorite Christmas cookies! They bring back all the special childhood memories for me!

  481. My favorite cookies are Gingersnaps. I finish them with a white chocolate drizzle and people tell me I could become a millionaire off them. Ha.

  482. My favorite cookie has always been Peanut Butter Blossoms! I started making them in Girl Scouts as a child and have made them every year since!

  483. My grandma makes these cookies from her grandma. They’re coconut with crisco and those weird candied cherries on top but they’re amazing and aptly called delicious cookies!!! I always start the holidays off with them.

  484. My husband and I went to NYC last year for Christmas! I am still reminiscing of our 4 day trip! We stayed at the Ritz on Central Park. They were serving these incredible Ginger Snap cookies in the front lobby. I couldn’t stop eating them:) Melt in your mouth bursting with flavor of spices and molasses delicious cookies. The top of the cookies were dusted with icing sugar… just the perfect holiday cookie. When we returned home I had my husband call the hotel and enquire on how I can get my hands on this fabulous cookie recipe. It took two month and lots of patience and begging… The head chef of the hotel talked to the pastry chef of the hotel and this pastry chef contacted another pastry chef from another pastry business In NYC to ask for the recipe. This well know pastry chef in NY makes the cookie dough for the Ritz every Christmas and the pastry chef at the hotel bakes them. So what do you think I have been doing all last week? Baking these wonderful aroma delicious irresistible cookies. I’m so happy to get my hands on this recipe! So my favorite cookie is Ginger Snaps:)

  485. I make cookies every week! I have made almost everyone of your recipes, so hard to choose. But I am a chocolate chip girl, so I would have to say CHOCOLATE CHIP! That sea salt takes it to another level.

  486. This is such a hard question but this time of year I love soft molasses cookies and rugelach. Both remind me of my childhood.

  487. My dad worked for Keebler and was known as the “cookie man” when I was growing up.There were always cookies at our house, but I was always wanting to make them. well now I do, every week. Adding your recipies to my cookie list has been so good. Now I am known as the “cookie lady”! Chocolate chip!!!!

  491. Chocolate crinkles are my favorite cookie that everyone enjoys! I secretly also love a good oatmeal raisin cookie, but my family does not enjoy them as much as I do.

  494. There’s a bakery down the street from my college campus that makes the most incredible Dark Chocolate Oatmeal Sea Salt cookies. Been trying to recreate and haven’t quite perfected it— maybe Maldon salt is the key!

  495. I can eat just 1 potato chip, but not just 1 chocolate walnut rugelach. The flaky cream cheese dough melts in your mouth and the chocolate, cinnamon, walnut filling is delicious – especially if you’re a chocoholic (and I am). I love making these cookies too. The careful individual rolling, shaping, egg wash and sprinkling with sugar is a fun activity, almost meditative. Eating them though…theyre so scrumptious that my self control flies right out the window.

  500. i haveA recipe from a friend for an ultimate chocolate cookie. It has guitars milk chocolate chips in it, as well as cinnamon and almond extract. The chocolate kind of magically goes to the center and is like a chocolate bomb—kind of reminiscent of Mexican chocolate. So good! If I won the giveaway, I’d give the mixer to my daughter!

  501. We love monster cookies made with fresh ground nut butter. I reduce the sugar a little and they are perfect. I recently used a natural mixed seed and nut butter but didn’t reduce the sugar much. They were PERFECT. Yum!

  502. That is an impossible choice! I love so many cookies. If I had to pick one I would say peanut butter chocolate cookies are my favorite.

  525. Monster cookies all the way! They have the best of everything – peanut butter, chocolate chips, m&m’s, oatmeal. So yummy!

  526. There might not be a harder task than picking my favorite cookie! When I was a kid I was all about the ice cream, but since I’ve gotten into my 30s… I love to bake cookies! Just saying the word “cookie” makes me feel all warm inside…like my grandma just gave me a hug. If I had to pick a favorite child/cookie it would have to be a classic…chocolate chip!

  545. I can’t resist a classic chocolate chip cookie, crispy around the edge and soft and chewy in the middle, preferably warm from the oven…so yum!

  595. Classic chocolate chip cookie! As I do mission work in Guatemala I love to bake chocolate chip cookies for the kiddos at my orphanage. We sit out on the grass and I share stories of how my mom made me the same cookies when I would come home from a day of testing in school or on my birthday.

  627. The pumpkin snickerdoodle cookies were a massive hit for Thanksgiving with my family and I am a sucker for a good ol fashioned chocolate chip cookie.

  628. I eat cookies all throughout the year – pretty much anything makes me happy. I have tried several of your recipes and they are always delicious. However, at this time of the year, it’s a toss up between two classic cookies. The first one is a gingerbread person – it’s just weird eating them at other times of the year. The second one is a recipe that’s been passed down from my great Aunt – it’s a soft brown sugar cookie – chilled dough rolled out, using our favorite cookie cutters, frosted and decorated just right. Christmas is not the same without these cookies.

  629. I love oatmeal chocolate chip, cowboy cookies, and snickerdoodle cookies. I can’t pick just one. That’s like asking who my favorite child is.

  630. My ultimate can never get enough of cookie .. would have to be peanut butter cookies with both peanut butter and choc chips mhmm

  634. Peanut butter blossoms and haystacks. Everyone has a different name for the haystacks. They are the chow mein noodles with melted chocolate chips. So good!

  635. Angel Crisp Cookies are my favorite kind not because I make them now but it is because my Nannie and I found the recipe when I was a child.

  636. So many to choose from … but today my favorite is your chocolate kiss cookies because I can easily make them for neighbors.

  646. My favorite is a Snickerdoodle that I learned to bake with my mom as a young girl. They will always have a special place with me and then her Raisin filled cookie. After that most any cookie there is.

  647. My favorite is a cookie called “World’s Greatest Cookie.” I was a little skeptical with the title at first but it really is amazing. It has vegetable oil and corn flakes in it which is unusual for a cookie. I was in love at first bite with the taste and texture.

  648. peanut butter cookies and chocolate chip cookies are the easiest. I have tried to make Italian wedding cookies because I love them but have not succeeded.

  655. Browned butter chocolate chip cookies!!❤️❤️ Tried them one and am never looking back:) Merry Christmas to you all!

    1. My favorite is definitely a good frosted sugar cookie. It’s what we always made as kids and I love them!

  656. I was going to go traditional and say sugar cookie for the holidays. But I LOVE your chocolate crinkle recipe and it is so easy a festive!

    1. Simple? Choosing my favorite cookie is not simple A. The one I have been craving lately is a triple ginger cookie, but a good chewy oatmeal raisin is always a winner, too!

  657. It’s such a toss up but I have to go with the tried and true chocolate chip cookie with oven roasted walnuts or pecans. YUM!

  658. My favorite cookie is a family recipe: a buttermilk chocolate cookie topped with a powdered sugar icing and sprinkles. They’re called Grandma Ritzmann’s Chocolate cookies!! They’ve not too sweet, chocolatey and oh so delicious!!

  659. Love snickerdoodles!!! They are the perfect cookie for everyone! You can decorate or not. Simple and delicious ❤️

  660. White chocolate dipped soft gingersnaps or flourless peanut butter chocolate ganache sandwich cookies! It’s a tie!

  661. I am baking the Peanut Butter Blossom cookies today! Everyone loves them and they are great cookies to give to friends! Thanks for making the recipe so easy to read/watch on your website! I loves these cookies and many of your other cookie recipes!!

  662. All of yours are my favorite, but if I had to pick one it’d be the soft gingersnaps! They are the most gifted cookie and so easy to make!

  663. I made your cookies for the first time for my sister’s bridal shower. The snickerdoodle were a bit and definitely my favorite!

  664. Chocolate chip cookies BUT use dark chocolate chips, chopped walnuts and fleur de sel on top (just learned what this was 6 months ago – game changer!) They taste so good! My 8 year old wasn’t so sure about the salt but that first bite cast away the doubt!! I am sure there is a name for these but I basically tried to recreate a kitchen skin cookie I tried a while back if anyone wants to make these for themselves! I am also quite partial to Greek butter cookies with the clove in the middle. Happy Holidays everyone 🙂

  665. I make cookies for my family every week – they call it Cookie Friday. We have several favorite staples, but the recent favorite is for sure your chocolate chip cookies. So good! Thanks for sharing❤️

  666. Chocolate chip are my all time favorite. However, at Christmas I love cut out cookies with buttercream icing.

  667. Chocolate-dipped, Salted Cashew Cookies! Thanks to Floating Kitchen for the recipe. I love the sweet/salty combination and usually have to be careful not to eat the whole batch myself!

  668. My almond sugar cookies are the best tasting cut-out cookie I’ve ever had. I searched for years till I found this tasty recipe. It holds it’s shape making decorating fun & easy.
    And My favorite cookie at Christmas is my cocoon cookie.. mexican wedding cookies, etc…
    I shape them into ovals. I find it’s less messy to eat than round, & you get a couple of bites out of each cookie. I also grind up part of the pecans like you said you do & I roll them in the powdered sugar while they are just barely still warm and again when they are cooled, which is usually right after I have finished rolling the first time. Sometimes I toast my pecans just barely if the are real fresh, to make sure I get that wonderful, lingering pecan aftertaste. Lol. They are the best cookies to go with a cup of hot coffee. Right?! Happy Holidays!

  670. My Mama has a chocolate drop cookie with a mocha frosting that is OUT of this world!!! So rich and indulgent. 🙂

  671. Snickerdoodles have to be my favorite! I’m dying to try your brown butter salted caramel snickerdoodle cookie though!!!

  672. My favorite Christmas cookies are cut outs and wedding cakes. Have to try your snickerdoodles and shortbread cookies.

  673. Can anyone pick a favorite cookie? It’s like picking a favorite child.
    But I guess I’m order to qualify… the classic chocolate chip cookie. With semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips. Milk chips are no good
