It's the perfect time of year for baking! You'll likely want to prepare two treats from this collection of our top cookies and bars—they're incredibly delicious and simple to whip up. Gather your family or friends and bake a batch this week!
Starting off—chocolate snowcap cookies. Imagine snowcap candies paired with chocolate chips—sounds amazing, right?
These are "magic cookie bars" with an extra dose of magic, thanks to toffee chips and our Askinosie collaboration chocolate bar. Gummy bear thumbprint cookies! If you're curious, they taste a bit like Pop-Tarts. These are a blast to prepare! You can add a fun shape in the center before placing the gummy bears. And if you enjoy baking cookies that are both tasty and attractive, check out these Fossil Cookies or Honey Comb Sugar Cookies (with royal frosting).
Emma brought peanut butter cup bars to Friendsgiving a few years back, and they vanished quickly. Bonus: They freeze well, so you can prepare them in advance if needed. Love peanut butter? Try these Peanut Butter and Puffed Quinoa Cookies. Yum!Speaking of baking ahead, let's discuss slice and bakes. I love the idea of popping a couple cookies in the oven when a craving strikes! These blend sugar and shortbread cookies with vanilla and thyme. If you prefer slice and bake cookies with a more classic touch, try these Chocolate Flecked Cookies—they're the slice and bake version of chocolate chip cookies.
Pure indulgence! If you're hosting guests, I highly recommend Emma's skillet cookies. Who can resist a warm cookie topped with ice cream? We adore a good skillet dessert, like this recipe for a giant skillet brownie.
Peanut butter and jelly in cookie form? Count me in 100%.
Technically, these aren't cookies or bars, BUT these chocolate Oreo truffles are likely the best creation ever. They're easy to make and nearly impossible to stop eating once you start.
Another crowd-pleaser: flourless chocolate chip cookies. If cookies without flour seem odd, just trust us on this one. They're made with chocolatey almond butter goodness.
Emma's homemade Twix bars have been pinned over 13,000 times (wow!) for good reason.
OK, it's time to bake. Be sure to tag us on Instagram if you make some of these treats, and we'll feature them in our stories!
