Cookie

Rye flour adds an earthy-nutty dimension and absorbs more molasses than all-purpose flour. The result is a cookie with the smoky caramel finish of rye whiskey.

You’ll find these a fudgy, sweet and lightly fermented addition to your brownie repertoire.

Goat’s milk butter is mildly tangy, complementing the whole wheat flour and wheat germ in these cookies.

An outer coating of sumac-sugar gives these slice-and-bake cookies a bright pop of flavor that balances the rich, buttery shortbread.

To give almond shortbread cookies the pastel treatment, dust them with tinted confectioners' sugar blended with finely ground freeze-dried blueberries, raspberries, and mango.

The textured end of a meat mallet is gently pressed into the dough of these cardamom- and rose water–scented cookies to form a grid pattern.

Lebkuchen recipes are many and diverse—some are flourless, made with almond and hazelnut meal; some are made in bar form and others in cookie form; some are glazed with chocolate and others with a thin lemon glaze.

Coarse raw sugar gives these nutty, chocolate-laced cookies a subtle crunch in every bite.

These are similar to classic shortbread, but with the warm, slightly nutty flavor of einkorn and rye. These little-used flours also make a great choice for baking due to their naturally lower gluten profile, which is exactly what you want in a sandy-style cookie for a tender crumb. 

These salty-sweet cookies have just the right amount of crunch and are delicious drizzled in chocolate. You can mix it up by swapping white chocolate for milk chocolate or colored candy melts to add a pop of color.

Avocados add creamy, nutrient-dense richness, taking the place of butter in these baked sweets.

An overnight freeze solidifies classic brownie batter into something entirely different—a scoopable cookie dough that holds its shape when rolled and then transforms into soft, fudgy, cream cheese-filled cookies in the oven.
