Molasses Chocolate Chip Cookies
While I love a straight forward chocolate chip cookie, I find myself pairing chocolate with warm spices this time of year. These molasses chocolate chip cookies are soft, spicy, and just a touch chewy.
Peanut Butter and Jelly Linzer Heart Cookies
Valentine’s Day is next week, and whether you’re of the cheesy holiday-loving persuasion or the my heart bleeds the darkest blood sort, I’ve got something for you: peanut butter and jelly linzer hearts! This grown-up twist on the classic pairing of PB&J is perfect for those of you who are kids at heart… and for...
Mexican Wedding Cakes
These cookies are so good that at least three different countries claim them as their own; although I always knew them as Mexican Wedding Cakes, they’re apparently also known as Russian Tea Cakes and Italian Butter Nuts. But as I’m inclined to say: a rose by any other name….
Peanut Butter Blossoms with Vegan Chocolate Kisses
Peanut butter blossoms are such a cute addition to any cookie tray. And although they’re usually made with chocolate candy centers that contain milk derivatives, they’re really easy to veganize!
Vegan Gingerbread Biscotti
When it’s cold outside, all I want to do is curl up with a blanket, a book, and a cup of tea. These gingerbread biscotti, from Isa’s VCTOTW, have been a welcome addition to each year’s wintry ritual. Don’t be scared off by the fact that you have to bake them twice; biscotti are really...
Dirt Cake
Growing up, my mother always made special cakes for my birthday — cakes so good-looking that I’m sure all of my friends wished they had a mother like mine. Usually this involved copious amounts of painstakingly applied frosting, and, if I was really lucky, some decorative sugar cubes. But my 7th birthday party was a...
Cherry Chocolate Chocolate Chip Cookies
I’m not an obsessive Isa devotee or anything, but I am glad to give credit where it’s due, and seriously, these cherry chocolate chocolate chip cookies — slightly adapted from the PPK — are fantastic.
Chocolate Chip Cookies
For years, this was hands-down my favorite recipe for chocolate chip cookies. I brought these cookies to bake sales, I mailed them to sad friends, I hung out in my room with a spoon and a bowl of uncooked dough.
Vegan Cowboy Cookies
Don’t get hung up on their lousy name; cowboy cookies are actually really delicious. I brought three dozen of these giant cookies on a flight to Iowa once, and my two brothers devoured every last one in six hours flat. Another time I brought them on a three hour road trip to Portland, Maine, and...
Chocolate Mint Kiss Cookies
Peanut butter kisses are a classic cookie that never quite satisfied me, so I decided to mix things up and make chocolate mint kiss cookies instead. Just like the originals, crunchy outsides offset smooth, creamy chocolate centers. These are just as refreshing in the summer as they are a festive addition to your holiday cookie...
Vegan Molasses Cookies
When I lived in a veg cooperative house in college years and years ago, we ordered everything in bulk. Occasionally, someone would mess up their math and accidentally order things like 5 gallons of organic blackstrap molasses without blinking an eye. I’d be shocked if the canister wasn’t still sitting in the pantry to this...
