Brookies Cookies

A delicious mash up of everyone’s two favorite desserts – a brownie and a cookie! The best of both worlds!! Fun to make and perfect for feeding a crowd, kids of all ages will rave about these irresistible cookies.

Strawberry Iced Oatmeal Cookies

All you need is a bowl and a whisk to whip up this summery twist on the classic Mother’s iced oatmeal cookies (a childhood favorite!). They bake up with buttery soft centers, deliciously chewy edges and a sweet strawberry glaze that I dare you not to eat by the spoonful.

Lemon Poppy Seed Cookies

Lemon Poppy Seed Cookies might seem like a grown-up choice, but kids who love fruit-flavored desserts will love these sweet, citrusy cookies. And the frosting on top makes them extra fun!

The Best Chocolate Chip Cookies

Crispy on the outside, soft and chewy on the inside and ooey gooey all over, these chocolate chip cookies are the world’s best! IYKYK. Kids will love mixing and scooping the dough. Let them sneak a few chocolate chips along the way and everyone will be happy.

Monster Cookies

Monster cookies are my go-to favorite when little helpers are in the kitchen. Filled with oats, peanut butter, chocolate chips and colorful M&M candies, these cookies are like a treasure hunt with every bite. Swap the M&M candies to match the season for a fun party treat any time of year!

Chocolate Chocolate Chip Cookies

There’s not much better than a warm, fudgy Chocolate Chocolate Chip Cookie paired with a tall glass of cold milk. These freeze beautifully too so put those kiddos to work in the kitchen and stash some away for a rainy day.

Lemon Crinkle Cookies

Lemon lovers, meet the Lemon Crinkle Cookie. These little lemony gems are moist and tender and filled with lots of tart and tangy flavor. You’ll love that the dough comes together in one bowl with no chilling required. Those picture perfect sugar-coated crinkles only look fancy – have the kids roll up their sleeves and take charge of the sugar-dunking. Can’t promise it won’t be messy, but it will be fun!

Fluffernutter Cookies

These giant bakery style cookies are the ultimate, over-the-top treat. A close cousin of the s’mores, this peanut butter and melty marshmallow filled cookie has all the sticky-deliciousness without the fuss of finding a flame. As much fun to make as they are to eat!

Hot Chocolate Cookies

Hot Chocolate Cookies have all the cozy comfort of a cup of hot cocoa in cookie form. The perfect snowy day activity, these cookies are made with real hot cocoa, heaps of mini marshmallows and sugar dusted tops that makes every bite feel extra special.

Happy cookie making!
