Ever since we heard Sesame Street is coming to Crave this month, we've got cookies on the brain! To cure our cookie cravings, we've rounded up our favourite recipes that your kids—and Cookie Monster—will gobble right up.
Trashy cookies
Who doesn't love a cookie crammed with plenty of stuff—salty, sweet, chewy, crunchy, melty. Rummage through your cupboards and baking drawers and toss in handfuls of whatever you find, particularly those ends of bags that might wind up forgotten in the back of the pantry—and viola! Oscar the Grouch would definitely approve.
Oatmeal chocolate chip bars
Made with rolled oats, chocolate chips, and brown sugar, these bars will become your kid's favourite snack.
Chocolate chunk tahini cookies
These cookies are one of the rare variations that are just as good as the original! Made with nutty and salty tahini, brown sugar, sesame seeds and topped with sea salt, these cookies are rich, savoury and sweet.
No-bake breakfast cookie
Cookies for breakfast? Yes, we made it happen. The idea behind this make-ahead snack is to sneak in a lot of good stuff. Think nut butter, oats dried fruits and chia seeds. It's the perfect breakfast on the go!
Classic chocolate chip cookies
Crisp edges, chewy middles, and so easy to make. Try Rodney Bowers' take on this classic cookie recipe but beware—these will not last around your little cookie monsters.
Lemon and orange ricotta cookies
We love these light-as-air cookies, and you will too! Made with the zest of lemon, orange, glazed and topped with your favourite sprinkles, they are the perfect after-dinner dessert to bring out the colour of spring.
Really big cookie sandwich
It's everything you love about a chocolate chip ice cream cookie sandwich! These cookies are made to perfection and are the perfect vehicle for that creamy vanilla ice cream in between.
Dunking cookies
Mary Berg brings us the from-scratch version of the beloved lunch box snack.
Stuffed shortbread cookies
Update your classic shortbread recipe by stuffing some delightful chocolate pieces in the middle. The melty surprise is the perfect bite of cookie.
Classic oatmeal cookies
These easy raisin and chocolate chip oatmeal cookies are spiced and full of flavour. Crispy on the outside with a touch of softness on the inside, feel good about serving these or keeping them all to yourself.
Strawberries and cream icebox cookies
Made with bright strawberries and lemon juice, these cream cheese icebox cookies go great with your morning or afternoon (or late night) tea.
Cookie pizza
This cookie pizza is a truly epic dessert - with oats, brown sugar, unsalted butter and a medley of sweet toppings, it's a real treat.
Stuffed brownie cookies
This recipe combines the ultimate handheld baked goods—the cookie and the brownie. Soft and rich like a brownie, yet buttery and crispy like a cookie, you will love every moment of eating this cookie.
Peanut butter sandwich cookies
Whip up these updated peanut butter cookies in no time. Light and chewy, these bites of deliciousness are made with a smooth creamy filling and vanilla cookies.
Double chocolate sea salt cookies
Use bananas as your base for these chocolatey sea salt cookies, made with rolled oats, almond flour, chia seeds and cocoa powder. Easy as 1-2-3!
Dulce de leche cookie bars
You take three-quarters of the basic dough recipe and add in cocoa powder and a touch of cayenne pepper to give add a bit of spice– and then you partially bake it, before spreading it with the oh-so-addicting dulce de leche.
