It doesn’t matter if you’re a fan of peanut butter cookies or shortbread, oatmeal cookies or snickerdoodles, crispy sugar cookies or chewy ones, there’s no denying the simple pleasure of a warm, freshly baked cookie. So, we’ve rounded up all our best ideas, many of them easy enough to bake any night of the week. That way, whenever the craving strikes you can whip up one of these beloved cookies (or cookie bars). Our most-craved confection of all-time? Chocolate chip cookies, of course—and this recipe is our go-to. We use two kinds of sugar: granulated for crunch and brown for chewiness. The cookies store well, too—if they last!

These sweet, frosted, cake-like cookies taste just like the ones you find in your supermarket bakery, only better.

If you're a peanut butter lover then these chewy cookies with a warm, gooey chocolate center will be sure to satisfy. This recipe makes about 4 dozen, so it's perfect for any holiday or big-batch baking.

Kardea says, "These cookies are loaded with, you guessed it, everything but the kitchen sink! They've got chocolate chunks, white chocolate chips, dried cranberries, potato chips and pretzels. You know how I love a salty-sweet combo and I think you will too when you try these."
