Molasses Crinkles These are my favorite cookies to bake, they come out in perfect, chewy circles every time. Coincidentally, they’re also my favorite to eat! 

Old Fashioned Peanut Butter Cookies I have an old hand-me-down set of cookie presses from my grandma that print shapes on the top, but the traditional criss cross with a fork taste just as good. 

Oatmeal Cranberry Chocolate Chip The short list of must-make cookies wouldn’t be complete without an oatmeal cookie recipe! Raisins are not popular at my house, so I make the old standby with craisins and milk chocolate chips. 

Coconut Macaroons These decadent cookies are perfect to display for company, at a babyshower or brunch. They look hard to make but are actually super easy and only have a few ingredients! 

Brown Butter Bourbon Pecan Cookies It’s no secret that we are whiskey connoisseurs at my house. When I found this recipe I knew I had to try it and it has become a favorite. Crispy, chewy, chocolaty, sweet and salty…this delicious cookie has it all.

I hope you get to spend some time in the kitchen trying these recipes! Which one are you going to make first? What kind of cookie is your favorite?

I love sunshine and have no idea what a day without coffee would be like. I’m married to my high school prom date. I met my husband Seth in our hometown Juneau, Alaska where we had our wedding 14 years ago. Seth has my name tattooed on his bicep and we go back to AK every summer. I’m a #boymom to three wild, funny, charming, energetic little men. I like to think of parenting as a great experiment...it’s too soon to tell if it worked or not! While we wait for the results, I know I’m right where I’m supposed to be.
