“Strangely enough, my favorite cookie recipe is the Filipino Meringue Cookies, natively known as Paciencia. It’s a very simple recipe actually, with just eggs, sugar, flour, and baking powder as the ingredients.
I got a chance to taste these cookies during my visit to the Philippines a few years ago, and I learned how to bake it myself. It’s simple and it doesn’t take a lot of time. Here’s how I do it:
Ingredients:
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 tsp baking powder
- 4 egg whites
- 1 tsp almond extract
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 275 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Put the egg whites into a bowl and beat them until stiff peaks form.
- Slowly add sugar while continuing to beat the eggs. Then, add the almond extract.
- In another bowl, combine the flour and baking powder. Then, fold in the egg white mixture.
- Place the mixture in a piping bag. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment and pipe the cookies.
- Put in the oven to bake for 20 minutes or until lightly golden.
The result is light and airy cookies with just the right amount of sweetness. Although Paciencia isn’t really from the U.S., it’s definitely my favorite.”

“My favorite cookies are really easy to make and are actually based on an Egyptian recipe:
Cookies with Nuts (Ma’mul)
Ingredients:
- 20g active yeast
- 1 cup semolina flour
- 2 cups plain flour
- Pinch of salt
- 3/4 cup ghee
- Warm water for kneading
Filling:
- 1/2 cup semolina flour
- 1/2 cup caster sugar
- 1 cup crushed hazelnuts
- 1 1/2 Tbsp ground cinnamon
- 1 Tbsp rosewater
How to make cookies:
- Follow instructions for yeast from the packet.
- Sift flours and salt into a bowl then add ghee and mix with fingers. Add yeast.
- Knead mixture really well adding small amounts of warm water until it is in a smooth dough.
- Cover with a damp tea towel and set aside for an hour to rise.
- Mix together the filling ingredients.
- Divide the dough into egg-sized pieces.
- Using your hands, stuff each piece with filling, and then shape.
- For decoration score the top with a cross shape using a fork.
- Place on a baking sheet and cook in a hot oven until the top is lightly browned (25 to 30 minutes).
- Lightly dust half with icing sugar and leave the others plain.”

“My favorite cookies are nut butter cookies. I have a slight obsession with peanut butter, so any excuse to use peanut butter, I will! These cookies are nutty and simple to make. Plus they are gluten-free and vegan (I promise you wouldn’t be able to tell!).
Gluten Free + Vegan Nut Butter Cookies
Ingredients:
- 180 g gluten-free self-raising flour (I use Doves)
- 125 g vegan butter
- 125 g light brown sugar
- 3 Tbsp aquafaba
- 125 g nut butter of choice (I like crunchy peanut)
- 1 Tbsp maple syrup
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 pinch salt
Instructions:
- Grease and line a large baking tray with baking paper.
- Pre-heat the oven to 160°C fan (180°C conventional).
- Sieve the flour into a bowl.
- Beat together the sugar and butter until the mix is light and fluffy.
- Gradually beat in the aquafaba, maple syrup, nut butter and vanilla extract (don’t worry if the mix starts to curdle slightly, it should un-curdle as soon as more dry ingredients are mixed in later).
- Mix in with the flour and pinch of salt.
- Using a spoon (or ice cream scoop) make 12 balls out of the mix.
- Put the balls onto a tray, evenly spread out, and flatten them slightly with the back of a fork.
- Bake the cookies for approx. 18 minutes, until they are browned and slightly golden.
- Leave them to cool slightly on the tray and then place them on a wire rack to finish cooling.
- Store at room temperature in a cake tin or Tupperware.”

“My favorite cookies are chocolate chip cookies. The science of baking a perfect chocolate chip cookie depends on what you really want in a cookie. We all have our own preferences in terms of defining a perfect chocolate chip cookie. Some may prefer their cookie with crunch, while others would choose the chewy variant.
As for me, I’d prefer my cookies with crunch, as these cookies are perfect when dunked in a warm glass of milk. But how do we create these perfect cookies?
It all starts with the ingredients. Baking flour must be carefully and precisely measured with the correct ratio. In addition to that, when mixing the dough, we must assure that the butter is soft enough to be combined with other ingredients such as sugar, egg, and salt.
And the intersecting path arises with this choice: baking powder that makes the cookies’ texture cakey, or baking soda which leaves a crispy finish. Since we’re aiming for a crunchy cookie, we’ll be using baking soda.
Lastly, a chocolate chip cookie will never be complete without chocolate chips. Use your discretion to determine how many chocolate chips to incorporate in the dough. However, too much can make your cookies too sweet.
Here’s the complete recipe:
- 2 refrigerated eggs
- 1 3/4 cups cake flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 3/4 cup muscovado sugar or brown sugar
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 Tbsp kosher salt
- 1/2 cup white sugar granulated”

“My favorite cookie recipe has to be Lusikkaleivät, or Spoon Cookies. They’re these little-known Finnish shortbreads shaped in small spoons, filled with berry jam, and covered in sugar. They’re made with brown butter so the cookies have a rich, nutty flavor. It takes a lot of effort not to keep reaching for another.”

“This Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies recipe is my favorite cookie recipe:
- 1/3 cup rolled oats
- 1/3 cup flour
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/3 cup white sugar
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 2 eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. In a medium bowl, mix together the oats, flour, sugars, salt, and baking powder. Next add the egg, oil, and peanut butter until a smooth consistency is achieved. Fold in the chocolate chips and walnuts last before separating the dough into 2 tablespoon-sized scoops on a greased baking sheet. Bake for 10-12 minutes until the edges begin to turn dark brown. They’re best served warm!”

“As a paleo diet follower, I eat only foods that cavemen would have eaten. This rules out most cookies as they have dairy, flour, and sugar! That said, there are cookie recipes designed specifically for the paleo diet. The most simple and delicious recipe that is an all-around winner is Nutter Butter Cookies.
Cookie Ingredients:
- 5 Tbsp coconut oil, melted
- 1 1/4 cups smooth salted almond butter
- 3/4 cup coconut sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 cups almond flour
Filling Ingredients:
- 3/4 cup smooth salted almond butter
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 2 Tbsp coconut oil, soft but not melted
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven to 350° and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine the coconut oil, almond butter, coconut sugar, egg, and vanilla. Stir well until fully mixed. Add in the almond flour until a dough is formed and it is mixed evenly.
- Using a 1 tablespoon measuring spoon, scoop the dough and form it into a thin, long log. Place it on the cookie sheet and repeat until the cookie sheet is full, leaving about 1 inch between each cookie.
- Use a fork to press the indentations on the cookie and gently squeeze the center inward to form a peanut shape. Bake for 15 minutes and let cool completely.
Filling Instructions:
- Once the cookies are cooled, make the filling. In a medium bowl, combine the almond butter, maple syrup, and coconut oil.
- Mix until smooth and spread on half the cookies then top them with the remaining cookies – creating a sandwich.”

“I love to make freestyle cookies. I don’t follow a recipe. I usually start with two eggs, then use a fork to whip them. then add your fat – butter or oil (just not olive oil). Coconut oil or veggie oil works well. Then I add the flour – gluten-free flour usually, about a cup or two, followed by the sweetness, which can be brown sugar, white sugar, plant-based sugar, honey, or agave. Then I mix it in, check the consistency, and maybe add a bit more of one thing or another. I put in a tiny spoon full of baking powder or baking soda and then add the goodies – nuts, raisins, chocolate, or all three! Then I scoop them into balls and place them on a foil-covered baking sheet. I usually bake on 375 for about 12 minutes and then check for color. Enjoy!”

“Any coffee drinking experience is always better with something sweet on the side. This recipe for Toasted Almond Biscotti has these traditional Italian cookies brimming with toasted almonds, baked twice to make them extra crispy.
You’ll need:
- Unsalted butter, for greasing
- 3 cups flour, plus more for pan
- 8 oz. sliced almonds
- 1 lb. whole, lightly toasted almonds
- 1 1⁄2 cups granulated sugar
- 1 1⁄2 cups packed brown sugar
- 1⁄4 cup canola oil
- 1 Tbsp baking powder
- 1 1⁄2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 1⁄2 tsp vanilla extract
- 4 eggs
Instructions:
Preheat the oven to 375°, then grease and flour a baking sheet. Next, combine sliced almonds and granulated sugar in a food processor. Pulse until smooth, then add the flour, brown sugar, oil, baking powder, cinnamon, vanilla, and eggs. Pulse it some more until the dough comes together.
Fold whole almonds into the dough and transfer to the prepared baking sheet. Pat dough into a 7 × 15 rectangle and bake until golden and slightly firm, about 18–20 minutes. Let the biscotti cool.
Reduce oven to 325°. Remove cooled biscotti from pan and cut crosswise into 20 7-inch-long strips. Transfer the strips to a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Bake until golden brown, about 20–25 minutes. Let cool completely before serving.”

“Being a mom, I tend to go for healthy options without additives and refined sugars. Finding a recipe that worked for us as a family was a bit of a trial but in the end, we settled on Apple, Carrot, and Oatmeal Cookies. They are great for snacking or even breakfast.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup rolled oats, blended
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1 cup grated carrot
- 1/2 cup grated apple
- 1 cup raisins/sultanas, mixed
- 1/2 cup sunflower seeds and pumpkin seeds mixed
- 1/2 cup coconut oil
- 1/3 cup honey
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Start by mixing all the ingredients together with a wooden spoon then bring the batter together with your hands.
- Divide cookie dough into egg-sized balls and squash out on the baking sheet till about 1/4 inch thick. Leave an inch between cookies. Place in the middle of the oven for 18-20 minutes or until lightly golden around the edges.
You can keep these cookies in an airtight container for 3 to 4 days but like all home-baked stuff, they never seem to last that long!”

“Here’s one of my favorite cookie recipes I whip up when the sweet tooth kicks in: flourless chocolate chip peanut butter protein cookies.
It takes only 6 ingredients, is gluten-free, and has 9-10 grams of protein per cookie.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup smooth peanut butter
- 2 scoops of vanilla-flavored protein powder (whey works best, but vegan protein powder is good, too)
- 2 eggs
- 2/3 cup coconut sugar
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 3/4 to 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
You can add a dash more if you like fluffier cookies.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F or 176°C and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Mix together all ingredients until a sticky dough forms.
- Use an ice cream scooper or spoon to scoop out and roll dough into roughly 1-inch balls.
- Place dough on your baking sheet, then use the blunt side of a mason jar or cup to gently flatten into a circular cookie shape.
- Bake for 12 minutes, or until cookies are golden-brown around the edges.”

“My favorite cookie recipe is this American Sandwich Cookie recipe:
Makes 3 dozen cookies.
Shells:
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- ¾ cup black onyx cocoa powder
- ¼ tsp kosher salt
- 1 stick unsalted butter, room temperature
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg, room temperature
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
Filling:
- ½ cup non-hydrogenated vegetable shortening
- 1 ½ cups powdered sugar
- 1 tsp fresh lemon juice
Directions:
- Sift all dry ingredients (salt, flour, and cocoa powder) into a bowl. Whisk together. Set aside.
- Using a standalone mixer fit with a paddle attachment, turn the mixer on low speed and cream the sugar and butter. Once thoroughly mixed, add the egg and extract.
- Slowly add the dry ingredients into the butter-sugar-egg mixture. Mix until incorporated.
- Remove the dough from the mixer bowl and pat into a disk. Wrap in plastic wrap and place the dough in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Remove dough from refrigerator. Use a rolling pin to roll dough until it is about 1⁄8 inch thick. Sprinkle flour on the dough as needed to keep it from sticking to the rolling pin. (Usually, I roll the dough out in between two sheets of parchment paper and skip adding the flour because the dough is more dry than wet.)
- Using a 2-inch round biscuit cutter, cut out the shells from the dough. Place the shells on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Bake for 6 to 7 minutes (until the shells are crisp). Remove from the oven. Use a spatula to remove shells from the baking pan and place on a wire rack to cool.
- In a bowl, combine shortening, lemon juice, and sugar.
- Using your clean hands, roll a pinch (about a teaspoon) of the filling into a ball. Place the rolled filling on one shell. Place a second shell on top of the filling and gently press down. (Make sure to use the tops of the shells —the side facing up when baked— as the outsides of the cookie.) Repeat the process until all shells have been filled. Cookies can be stored in an airtight container for one week or frozen.”

“My favorite cookie recipe is Coconut No-Bake Cookies. No-bake cookies were my favorite as a kid, and now I love preparing them with my own children because they’re so easy and – as the name implies – don’t require turning on the oven in the hot summer! The coconut twist brings the flavor up notch.

“Matcha green tea cookies are my go-to cookie comfort food. Not only is it delicious, but it also comes with the benefits of green tea like improved brain function and antioxidants.
Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 ½ Tbsp of matcha green tea powder
- ¾ cup softened unsalted butter
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- ¼ cup white chocolate chips
- 2 yolks from large eggs
- A pinch of sea salt
Mix the flour and matcha powder into a bowl then sift the mixture to combine the two ingredients. In a mixer, beat the butter until soft and creamy and add a pinch of salt. Add confectioner’s sugar to the salted mixture and blend until light. Then, mix in the two egg yolks.
Gradually add the flour-matcha mixture into the wet mixture. Blend until the dough looks smooth and lump-free before adding the white chocolate chip cookies. Divide the dough into two and shape each one into cylinders with a diameter of 1.5 inches. Chill in the fridge until firm enough to cut into several cookie circles that are about ⅓ inch thick.
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Then, bake the cookies with the same temperature for 15 minutes or until the cookie edges become slightly golden.”

“I love healthier-for-you cookie recipes. These recipes might contain healthier fats, lower sugar, higher protein, more fiber, or use fewer processed ingredients. Unfortunately with healthier cookies, they can sometimes lack the rich taste or texture of your classic cookie. This healthy chocolate chip peanut butter cookie from Bliss from Balance is the best of both worlds. It’s higher in fiber and protein than most packaged chocolate chip cookies, lower in sugar, and is still soft and delicious. It’s become my new go-to cookie recipe and uses healthier ingredients like rolled oats, Greek yogurt, white whole wheat flour, almond flour, peanut butter, and coconut sugar.”

“Here is my favorite recipe for a butter cookie that is very easy to make. I found this recipe on Epicurious a few years ago:
Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 1/2 sticks (3/4 cup) unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 tsp vanilla
Simply whisk all the dry ingredients (minus the sugar) together. In a separate bowl, beat the sugar and butter until fluffy and pale. Beat in the vanilla and egg to the mixture. Gradually add the flour mixture until combined. Form the dough onto a log about 12 inches long, wrapping it in plastic. Rest it in the refrigerator for a few hours, until firm.
Preheat the oven to 190 Celsius (375 F). Cut the log into about 1/4 thick slices, setting them an inch apart on a baking sheet. Bake for about 13 minutes, flipping the sheets halfway through baking. Make sure the edges are brown. Let cool for 3 minutes and enjoy with your favorite tea.”

“My favorite cookie recipe comes from Mexico. They’re called Marranitos, and they’re basically little gingerbread pigs. They’re sweetened with brown sugar and have a distinct, rich flavor attributed to unsulfured molasses. The texture is light and they’re soft, yet sturdy. I purchased piggy cookie cutters for the shape, and trust me, they’re so cute you’ll wish you didn’t have to eat them. Make no mistake: you must eat them.
What I really enjoy about these cookies is that they’re not overly sweet. They go great with a cup of coffee, either in the morning with breakfast or as a dessert before bed. My piggie cookie cutters came in a pack of three, which were all different sizes. When I make a batch, I usually make the cookies in all three sizes so I can choose which one to eat based on my appetite.”

“Every now and then, I crave a comforting treat, and snickerdoodles are just what the doctor ordered. It’s great because it’s not too complicated, and I usually have all of the ingredients at my disposal, making it easy to satisfy my spontaneous cravings. This recipe yields cookies that are firm enough not to fall apart, but they’re still soft and chewy. Here’s the recipe:
Ingredients:
Cookies:
- 2¾ cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature
- 1¼ cups granulated sugar
- ¼ cup dark brown sugar
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- ½ tsp pure vanilla extract
Cinnamon Sugar:
- 3 Tbsp granulated sugar
- 2½ tsp cinnamon
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees, and line a baking pan with parchment paper or a non-stick baking mat.
- In a bowl, mix together dry ingredients – flour, baking powder, salt, and 1 teaspoon cinnamon; set aside.
- In a mixer fitted with a paddle attachment (or using a hand-held mixer), cream together butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Next, add the vanilla extract and eggs one at a time, mixing after each.
- With the mixer on low speed, gradually add the bowl of dry ingredients and mix until incorporated. Do not over-mix, though.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and place in the freezer for 15 minutes to chill. You can also place the dough in the refrigerator if you plan on making the cookies later. It’s not absolutely necessary to chill the dough, but it is much easier to roll into a ball if it is chilled.
- To make the cinnamon sugar, mix the sugar and cinnamon in a bowl.
- To make each cookie, measure about 1½ tablespoons of dough, roll it into a ball and then roll it in the cinnamon sugar and place it on a prepared cookie sheet. Bake for 8-10 minutes. The cookies will look puffed-up when they’re done. Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool slightly on a baking sheet. Then, move them to a cookie sheet to cool completely.”
