Wellllllll it’s National Cookie Day which means it’s basically the BEST DAY OF THE YEAR!!!

I never met someone who didn’t like cookies. Have you? Not liking cookies would be like not liking puppies or pizza or naps. If those people exist, I don’t want to meet them. Haha :)

Is there anything better than walking into a house of freshly baked cookies? Each bite is dang good, portable, and versatile. Make them with regular flour, make them with gluten-free flour, make them without eggs, make them without eggs, make them with chocolate chips, throw in some peanut butter, sugar, caramels, pretzels—all of these or none of these—whatever you can imagine, it exists in cookie form.

Any flavor or texture or ingredients you can imagine can be used to create the cookies of your dreams.

The perfect cookie has crispy edges and chewy centers, best enjoyed with a cold glass of milk (or milk alternative of choice).

In honor of this most sacred holiday, I’ve rounded up my favorite cookie recipes from the past year so get baking!!!
