I get so bored with regular ol’ cookies. I know I have mentioned before that I am a cookie lover, but I love to switch it up and find new and improved recipes to really get me going and crave more than just regular chocolate chip cookies. Many recipes that I find that are not chocolate chip are just oatmeal or sugar. They are plain and honestly, pretty boring. That is why I was thrilled when I found this recipe!

When you take a bite out of this, you get the flavors of a cheesecake and cinnamon roll all in one cookie. It does not feel like the texture would work for all these flavors, but it does and it is absolutely amazing. This is the perfect dessert to make for any occasion, whether you are just watching a Hallmark movie all by yourself, or you have a room full of kids at a party, these are sure to be a hit. Everyone loves a good cookie, so you cannot go wrong with making these for your special occasion. Do not be afraid to try something new either. Play with the flavors, add some chopped strawberries over the top, or add a bit of peppermint extract to the glaze. It can all turn out to be delicious!

No One’s Ever Seen Apple Pie Like This!

If you like caramel apples or apple pie, than you’ll really enjoy these Cookies. Hey, who doesn’t like apple pie, right? But sometimes, you want something with a bit of a different texture or something a bit more, well, bite-sized and easy to serve at parties.

Why don’t you give these apple pie cookies a try! This recipe does make use of store-bought caramel, but if you want to fancy it up a bit, you can make your own. I believe that there are a few recipes I’ve shared over the past few months that have some version or other of homemade caramel. It’s just a matter of how thick or thin you want the sauce to be.

That being said, this recipe still comes out rather tasty with the store-bought sauce, and it does cut down on the hassle quite a bit. So there’s no need to feel guilty at all, if you don’t have the time or the energy to make your own. Everyone is still going to love these! Enjoy!

Have you been searching for a great cookie recipe that’ll wow you and your guests? Look no further because this is it! These white chocolate cranberry cookies would work particularly well for a holiday treat, though with that flavor, you could enjoy them most any time of year.

Believe it or not, I was not as familiar with the white chocolate cranberry flavor combination as I was with the white chocolate raspberry one, prior to baking some of these. I have to say, it works out nicely – richly sweet, with just the right amount of tartness from the cranberries to put everything in balance. The addition of cornstarch to the dough ensures that the cookies will remain soft, even the next day. And the use of dark brown sugar instead of light brown gives the flavor of the cookies that much more depth and ensures that they have a more chewy, less crispy texture.

It’s another great cookie recipe! If you like macadamia nuts or white chocolate, I think you’ll love these White Chocolate Chip Macadamia Nut Cookies. With under 15 minutes of baking time, this recipe yields about 2 dozen, so that’s about 13 cookies you can share with friends and family… of course, you can also hoard them away for your own pleasure.  It’s up to you!

This is such a simple recipe you’ll probably already have most of the ingredients at hand – and you can change things up a little if you’re missing some of them. Of course, you will need cookie sheets for this recipe. Actual baking time is just nine minutes, and though there is some prep, it’s nothing too involved. Just be sure not to over-mix or space the individual pieces of dough too close together, and you’ll have two dozen beautiful and tasty cookies in no time.

Quick tip: Try using dark chocolate chips instead of white chocolate ones!

If you like the flavors of fall and you like cookies, this recipe for Pumpkin Cinnamon Cookies may be just right for you. It’s neither really difficult nor really time consuming to put together. Cookies in general are a really good go-to when you want a nice sweet treat without a lot of hassle. I love the flavor of cinnamon, so I really enjoyed these, and it’s hard to beat having something ready in under half an hour.

Another thing about cookies is that, for me, personally, it’s a lot easier to watch how much I eat when I’m having cookies instead of cake. You know how it is with cakes, don’t you? You can easily have two slices (even three…) with all that cream and frosting, and it won’t even bother you. But when you’re having cookies, it’s like “Oh my goodness, I can’t eat four cookies, can I?” And you stop at two – which means you’ll save yourself from a bunch of calories compared to cake. Or at least I hope that’s how it will go!

Quick tip: You can adjust the amount of spices to your liking.

I remember back when I was a kid and my friends would go crazy over a jar of Nutella… They’d pick a spoon (the bigger, the better) and start scooping that stuff straight from the jar, while I just had a taste and didn’t quite get it. I don’t know what I was thinking back then! But I sure have been trying to correct my mistake over the years!

That delicious Nutella flavor combines nicely with the classic “pie spices” to create a great sweet treat for fall and winter; these incredible Nutella Pumpkin Cookie Bars. I was a late-comer to the Nutella party, but I have to say, it’s a rather versatile ingredient. Of course, it tastes great just as a simple spread (on bread or what have you), but why settle for that, when you can use it to make such yummy cookies?

Quick tip: The batter is a bit sticky – spray your hands with cooking spray before you spread it in the bottom of the pan.

These sugar cookies with pink buttercream frosting look beautiful and taste as great as they look. This family-friendly recipe is very simple to put together (and once you have the dough made and chilled a bit, rather quick to bake, too).

If you want a yummy baked dessert treat that is easy enough for the little ones to “help” you make, this is perfect for that. Of course, if they are anything like how I was as a child, you may have to make a bit of extra batter to allow for generous licking of spoons and bowls (or make the cookies just a bit smaller), but hey, no harm in that, right?
