Cookie Recipes: 50 cookies for your recipe file (2024)

I started this blog in 2009 and since thenI’ve made a lot of cookie recipes. There are actually more than fifty on this blog, but some didn’t have recipes. I’ve selected those that do and sorted them here. There are holiday cookie recipes, peanut butter cookies, chocolate cookie recipes, several variations of chocolate chip cookies, and a bunch of other cookie recipes too! I hope this helps you plan your holiday cookie baking and serves as a guide for the rest of the year too.

50+ Cookie Recipes

When it comes to dessertrecipescookies are among my favorites. The recipes below are sorted by type to make it easier to go through. While there are some recipes that you will probably only bake in the fall and winter, most of these cookies can be made and enjoyed all year long. You could certainly make the holiday cookies any time you want too, but most would prefer to keep gingerbread reserved for the end of the year. I also sorted out my bar recipes and you can browse all bars, brownies and cookies here.

Here’s what you will find below:

Everyone has a favorite chocolate chip cookie recipe. I like to try different flavored chips, sometimes add nuts, sometimes combine regular and chocolate doughs.
