best cookies

Are they the worst or are they the best chocolate chip cookies in existence? Either way, this easy, soft cookie recipe is insanely addictive. Recipe now includes a new step-by-step VIDEO and new tips in the NOTES section (below) to prevent your cookies from spreading too much or not spreading enough!

The Worst Ever Chocolate Chip Cookies

unsalted butter

light brown sugar (packed (300 grams))

sugar ((100 grams))

eggs (room temperature preferred)

vanilla extract

maple syrup² ((60 milliliters))

all purpose flour ((415 grams))

cornstarch

baking powder

baking soda

salt

chocolate chips (I used half regular semisweet chips and half mini semisweet chips)

The WORST EVER Chocolate Chip Cookies

In a large bowl, stir together melted butter and sugars.

Add eggs, one at a time, stirring until combined.

Stir in vanilla extract and maple syrup.

In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, cornstarch, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

Gradually add flour mixture to wet ingredients, stirring until completely combined.

Stir in chocolate chips.

Cover bowl with clear wrap and allow to chill for at least 30 minutes (chilling!? I told you, this recipe is the worst.)

While the dough is chilling, preheat oven to 350F (175C) and prepare cookie sheets by lining with parchment paper (if you don't have parchment paper, you can bake directly on an ungreased cookie sheet).

Scoop about 2-2 1/2 Tablespoons of cookie dough and roll into balls, making them slightly taller than they are wide. Place them at least 2 inches apart on prepared cookie sheet.

Bake about 13 minutes (cookies will appear to be a bit underdone, but edges should be just beginning to turn golden brown).

Allow cookies to cool completely on cookie sheet. If desired, gently press a few chocolate chips on top of the hot cookies.

Keep unbaked cookie dough in fridge while waiting to put the next batch in the oven, and do not place cookie dough on a hot cookie sheet.

These cookies are the WORST!

Red, white, and blue star-spangled cookies are perfect for the 4th of July!Please see just below the recipe for a list of recommended tools for this recipe with links to Amazon, including cookie cutters, gel food coloring, silver star sprinkles, and disco dust

Star-Spangled Cookies

unsalted butter (softened (226 grams))

sugar ((150 grams))

all-purpose flour ((295 grams))

sugar (sifted (415 grams))

corn syrup

milk

almond (or other, preferred) extract (optional)

gel food coloring (I used Americolor "red red" and "electric blue")

silver star sprinkles

Preheat oven to 350F.

In KitchenAid mixer or with electric hand-mixer beat your butter until well-creamed.

Add sugar to the mixing bowl and beat with the butter until well combined (about 30 seconds).

Stir in vanilla extract and salt, stirring until well-combined, and scrape down the sides of the bowl using a rubber spatula to ensure ingredients are well-incorporated.

Add egg yolk and beat until combined

With mixer on medium-low speed, gradually add flour until well-incorporated (you will definitely need to scrape down the sides and the bottom of the bowl several times for this, as the mixture is fairly dry and crumbs tend to settle at the bottom of the bowl).

Transfer dough to clean surface and use your hands to form it into a cohesive ball.

Flatten into a disk (about 1" thick), cover with clear wrap, and chill for 15 minutes.

Once dough has chilled, transfer it to a clean, lightly floured surface and use a lightly floured rolling pin to roll out to about ¼&quot; thickness.

Lightly flour your cookie cutters and cut out your shapes, transferring them to ungreased cookie sheet.

Once you have cut out all of the shapes that you can, be sure to re-combine the scraps and roll out and cut out again to get the maximum number of cookies from your dough.

Bake on 350F for 10-12 minutes (longer if you are using larger cookie cutter) and allow cookies to cool completely before dipping in chocolate.

Cookies

In a large bowl, combine sifted powdered sugar, 3 Tbsp milk, and light corn syrup. Whisk until smooth. If mixture is too dry, add additional milk, one teaspoon at a time until mixture can be stirred.

Stir in extracts.

Glaze should be thick, to test that it is the right consistency drop a few droplets on top of a test cookie. If the glaze remains stiff, it needs to be thinned. If it runs off the cookie, it is too thin and needs more powdered sugar. If it settles down smoothly, it is just right.

Divide glaze into four small bowls.

Working with one bowl at a time, use a toothpick (a different toothpick for each color) and dip it into the food coloring bottle and then into the glaze. You want a small dot of food coloring (see video).

Drag a toothpick through the food coloring and glaze until it is prettily swirled/marbled.

Holding your cookie at the base, dip the surface of each cookie into the glaze (take a look at your first cookie -- are you satisfied with the pattern? Adjust whorls with additional food coloring as needed).

Once the first bowl runs out or the colors become too muddled together from dipping, move onto your next bowl of food coloring (you will probably need to stir first before adding your coloring, as the surface may have begun to harden).

Repeat steps 5-7 until all cookies have been dipped. Allow them to harden at least 30 minutes (may take longer) for glaze to set. Enjoy!

Keep uneaten cookies in an airtight container at room temperature.

How To Make Star Spangled Cookies

Complete how-to guide to make the best holiday cookie box with the top Christmas holiday cookies including recipes and tips. It's the best Christmas gift. 

The Best Holiday Cookie Box

chocolate

Choose the cookies

. Whether you are including homemade cookies, storebought, or both, you want to choose a variety of cookies with different shapes and sizes and flavours. This will make the cookie box look interesting. I suggest baking anywhere from 4 to 8 different types of cookies (this year I went overboard with 15 different cookies). I plan out my cookie boxes about one month ahead of time, and make changes to it as I get inspired to add new cookies, and take some off my list.

Choose other treats. Think about whether or not you want to include other treats such as candy canes, festive chocolate kisses, or peppermint candies.

Check that you have the required baking equipment. Once you have a set list of cookies that you will be baking, determine that what baking equipment you will need. Typically, for most cookies, you will need measuring cups and spoons, mixing bowls, a hand mixer or stand mixer, large half sheet baking pan, silicone baking mat, and a wire cooling rack. You may also need a cookie scoop, Christmas cookie cutters and a rolling pin, depending on the cookies you are baking.

Make a shopping list.

Ingredients: Make a shopping list of all the ingredients that you will need (including any treats or candies that you are including).

Baking equipment: Do an inventory of the baking equipment that you have at home and determine what you need to purchase. Add anything you need to your shopping list.

Cookie boxes and accessories: For the cookie boxes, choose something that is shallow with a lid. It can be disposable cardboard boxes (like these plain boxes or these festive decorated boxes) or keepsake cookie tins. You may also want to add mini cupcake liners (to layer in smaller cookies), burlap twine or ribbon (to tie a stack of cookies together), and cardstock (to divide parts of the box) to your shopping list.

Make a schedule. It can be overwhelming when you have a list of cookies to bake, even if it is just four. Some cookies need to be chilled for hours, some need to be rolled and cut out, some need to be decorated with icing, some are sandwiched together... you get the drift. Go through each cookie recipe that you want to make, and starting with the easiest, write out a schedule starting at prep. Then, incorporate the next cookie into that schedule. Depending on the cookies you are baking, you may be able to schedule everything in one day, or spread it out over the course of a few days or weeks. The best thing is that most cookies freeze really well, so you can start baking the cookies even a month ahead and freeze them as you bake. Once you are ready to assemble your boxes and gift the cookies, just take them out of the freezer.

Assemble the box. Arrange the cookies in different ways and put cookies of different shapes, sizes and colours next together to make it look interesting. You don't want to have a big section of cookies that all look the same. Use cupcake liners and burlap twine or ribbon to group certain cookies together. Use cardstock to divide and section off areas of the box.

This genius hack is similar to the one we use in our Nutella-Stuffed Cookies﻿.  Mix peanut butter with powdered sugar, roll mixture into balls, then freeze them. (This prevents a peanut butter explosion while baking.)﻿﻿

Peanut Butter-Stuffed Cookies

peanut butter

c. sugar

c. (1 stick) butter, softened

brown sugar

granulated sugar,

pure vanilla extract

c. all-purpose flour

kosher salt

I just did the recipe, 1.5 the filling and doubled the cookie dough. Added a Hershey’s kiss to each cookie, and rolled it into a nice round ball. Forgot to roll the ball in sugar, but no biggie they tasted wonderful. Also cooked at 375 for 11 minutes. Thanks for this cookie recipe.

I loved this recipe I will defiantly make it again.  They would be very good as Peanut butter cups cups. Love it

Not happy with this recipe. Not sure why but my pb stuff disappeared or dried

My husband made this recipe from the Delish "Insane Sweets" recipe book. The ingredients are exactly the same, but the editors totally forgot to include the step where you roll the cookies in granulated sugar, despite the fact that the ingredients say "more [sugar] for rolling" and the cookies in the picture are clearly covered in granulated sugar. We had to check this online recipe and video to figure out what to do when. The cookies are delicious and we'll make them again, but it's just sad that the sloppy editing we find so often here has also found its way into the cookbook, for which people are paying good money.

I agree with other reviewers that the instructions on this recipe were lacking - and I'm an experienced baker.  First, the filling needs to freeze for at least 2 hours.  Freezing them just while you're making the dough is not nearly enough time in the freezer.  Second, the dough itself needs to be refrigerated for at least 2 hours.   The recipe doesn't even say to chill it.  I refrigerated it for about 30 minutes and that was not enough.  The dough and the filling were so soft, it was very hard to manage.  A heaping tablespoon of dough is not nearly enough to cover the filling.  I rolled out more than a tablespoon for each side and then pinched them together.  Even with doing this, I got 15 large cookies.  The finished product was okay.  Certainly not my favorite peanut butter cookie recipe and I don't think they're worth the work.

Wow! These are huge! They are good, but rich. I cut the recipe in half and made 6. Next time I plan on halving the recipe and making 12.

I needed more directions or better directions. My filling was a frosting and I didn’t like it very much,other than that they were delicious and medium on the hardness to make.

I have my own recipe
Ingredients:
-1.5 cups Raw Unsalted Peanuts
 -Sea Salt
-coconut oil
I just blend them all together and freeze for a year

The cookies are very good. I’m going to try and make them a little smaller next time. I also think it would work well with mini peanut butter cups.

There was way to much peanut butter lol so I took away the filling hopefully it still tastes good

Even people who don’t like peanut butter likewhen I make these

Wonderful cookies. I won't make peanut butter cookies any other way anymore.

These are amazing! Everyone I give them to goes nuts over them and wants to know how to make them.

These are AMAZING! Everyone I give them to asks me how to make them. Thanks for showing me how to stuff cookies.

I am doing a school project where do I find how many people made it

These Peanut Butter Stuffed Cookies Have the Easiest Hack

Soft and chewy cream cheese cookies! These can be easily customized for the holidays!

Cream Cheese Cookies

unsalted butter (softened (170 grams))

oz cream cheese

light brown sugar (firmly packed (200 grams))

sugar ((200 grams))

all-purpose flour¹ ((312 grams))

sugar

In a large bowl using an electric mixer or in a stand mixer, cream together butter, cream cheese, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light, fluffy, and well-combined.

Add egg and vanilla extract and stir to combine.

In a separate, medium-sized bowl, whisk together flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt.

With mixer on low-speed, gradually add flour mixture to butter/cream cheese mixture until completely combined. Scrape down sides and bottom of bowl as needed to ensure ingredients are well-combined.

Cover bowl with plastic wrap and transfer to the refrigerator to chill for at least two hours and up to 5 days.

Once dough has chilled and you are about ready to bake your cookies, preheat oven to 350F (175C).

Scoop cookie dough by 1 ½ Tablespoon-sized scoop and roll between your palms to form a smooth ball. Roll through granulated sugar (or other topping, if using) and place cookies 2” apart on parchment paper lined baking sheets.

Transfer to 350F (175C) preheated oven and bake for 13-14 minutes. Allow to cool completely on baking sheet before enjoying.
