Hi Reader! These uber soft Andes Cookies basically melt in your mouth! An Andes mint-chocolate candy is placed over the top of the freshly baked cookies, and after several minutes, you'll use the back of a spoon to smear it over the top. The result? The Andes chocolate leaves the top of the cookie slightly underbaked. Giving you a perfectly fudgy cookie that is chocolate mint cookie perfection. This easy, one-bowl recipe doesn't need a mixer (yay!), and the dough freezes like a dream (see...

Hi Reader! The weekend is here and you must bake these cookies! This chocolate chip cookie dough is the stuff of dream...

Toasted pecans and your favorite chocolate chips (or chunks) are mixed throughout the dough for gooey chocolate and crunchy nuts in every single bite. This is a huge...

Hi Reader! An easy breezy shortbread crust is covered in cranberry jam (so simple, takes about 30 minutes) and then topped with my favorite blonde streusel that's jazzed up with orange zest, vanilla bean and sliced almonds. I'm not sure you can find a holiday cookie that screams holiday louder than this one! All three components of this recipe (the crust, jam and streusel) can be made ahead of time and stored separately in the fridge for several days. Assemble and bake the day you want to...

All of that great texture and flavor is then layered with orange zest, fresh orange juice and plump tart dried cranberries. Just yum. Period. You know the drill: she's one bowl, no chill, travels like a dream...

Happy Sunday Reader! Marshmallow + chocolate is another one of my favorite flavor combinations and these cookies deliver! Several years ago I started working on this cookie and I wasn't dazzled with how it was turning out and so I just dropped it.

Hi Reader! This peanut butter cookie has a perfect soft, chewy texture that's loaded with flavors of vanilla, dark brown sugar and creamy peanut butter. They're perfect. I love them topped with dark chocolate kisses, but feel free to use milk chocolate. Whichever strikes your fancy. This one-bowl recipe is super quick and easy to throw together and takes just 10 minutes (!!). You can bake them straight away, but the real magic in this cookie dough comes when you give it an overnight...
