Cookie Recipes:

Everyone loves cookies. Whether you make drop cookies, shaped cookies, bar cookies, or no bake cookies, you're guaranteed a big thank you when you make a batch or two. And everyone has their favorite cookie recipes; these are mine.

How to Make the Best Cookies:

Making the best cookies is easy as long as you follow some rules. Learn how to measure flour, how to read a baking recipe, and find tips for tender, perfect cookies every time.

Cookie Science:

Don't be scared - this type of science is easy. Cookies are made with a combination of fat, sugar, flour, leavening, and flavorings. These ingredients combine in different ways to produce everything from chewy chocolate chip cookies to dense brownies to fruit-filled bars. Read through this information to put science behind you in the kitchen.

No Bake Cookies:

No bake cookies are the perfect choice for beginners. They're also great for hot days when you just don't want to turn the oven on. And they're delicious!

Bar Cookie Recipes:

I think bar cookies are the easiest because you just fill a pan with luscious ingredients and bake. There's no going back and forth, shaping cookies and removing them from cookie sheets. Here are some fabulous bar cookie recipes.
