Cookie

Need cookies in a flash? These butterscotch "buttons" come together fast and don't require an oven, which means you can have a treat any time you want it.

Sometimes the oddest-sounding things are the most mind-blowing. Case in point: this savory, crunchy, juicy, sugary sundae.

Whether you call them magic bars or seven-layer (or sometimes five-layer) cookies, you probably know these treats. Chunky bits—like chocolate chips, nuts, and coconut—get layered over sticky condensed milk and a crisp cookie crust.

These superfood-filled, protein-packed, chocolate-and-espresso–covered bites are perfect for a pre-workout boost or mid-day recharge.

One of those dreamy cookies elicits a silent reverence in every chocolate lover who tastes it.

The texture of these delicate slice-and-bakes is similar to a Mexican wedding cookie: crumbly, but insanely tender.

Traditional shortbread gets an added depth of flavor with the use of brown butter. This recipe results in a rectangular-shaped cookie, but feel free to cut the dough into any shape you like while it's still warm.
