Mocha seems to be having a moment these days … Mocha Mousse has even been declared colour of the year for 2025 by Pantone. I decided to jump on the brown bandwagon with these delicious espresso-infused dark chocolate cookies. Ingredients: Method: *Yield: Approximately 30 cookies

Giant Spiced Ginger Cookies
The smell of these cookies baking in the oven will fill your house with the most delicious, festive aroma. These cookies taste like traditional molasses cookies with slightly crispy edges, a soft and tender middle…and a slight hit of heat thanks to the addition of black pepper. I like to top mine with a generous…

This cookie is an autumn version of my Big and Chewy Oatmeal Cookies. The cranberries add a nice tartness and pop of colour to these cookies, while the pumpkin seeds add texture and crunch. I also add some cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice to give them some extra fall flavour. Ingredients: Method: *Yield: Approximately 18…
Pumpkin S’mores Cookies
Fall flavours are my favourite and I am always looking for ways to incorporate pumpkin into cookie form. These cookies combine the warm autumn flavours of pumpkin spice with the deliciousness of s’mores. They’re the perfect addition to your Thanksgiving or Halloween sweet table. And this recipe is extra special because it was developed with…
Caramel Apple Cookies
These fall-flavoured cookies are, according to my husband, the best cookies I’ve ever made. The combo of apples, cinnamon and caramel is definitely hard to resist. The addition of boxed pudding mix to this recipe may seem a bit surprising, but the pudding adds a huge amount of caramel flavour and tenderness to these cookies….
S’Mores Cookies
Everything that makes s’mores so delicious is packed into this cookie: marshmallows, chocolate and graham cracker crumbs. These are especially good with a cup of hot chocolate! Bonus: these cookies freeze extremely well. Ingredients: Method: *Yield: Approximately 30 cookies
Carrot Cake Cookies
These cake-like cookies are filled with grated carrots, crunchy pecans and sweet cinnamon. They’re decadent topped with a cream cheese frosting –but just as delicious without the icing. This recipe calls for bread flour, as opposed to all-purpose flour. The reason for this is that any cookie that incorporates fresh grated fruits or veggies, such…
Healthy Oatmeal Peanut Butter Cookies
The first time I made these cookies my kids gobbled them up before I even had the chance to worry about whether or not they would like them. These are refined sugar, flour and egg-free — but delicious in every way. You can customize them with add-ins of your choice; my favourites are sunflower seeds,…
Peanut Butter Cookies
Everyone needs a solid peanut butter cookie recipe in their baking repertoire and this is my favourite. These are thick, chewy cookies that are rolled in granulated sugar before baking for a little crunch. I also like to add some roasted chopped peanuts for extra texture. Looking for more peanut recipes? Check out my Healthy(er) Peanut…
Funfetti Cookies
Soft and chewy Funfetti Cookies are filled with creamy white chocolate chips and crunchy, colourful sprinkles. I like to use rainbow jimmies — but you can use any colour sprinkles you like. You can press a few extra sprinkles into the tops of the unbaked cookies for an extra pop of colour. Ingredients: 3/4 cup…
Sweet Italian Taralli
These crunchy, not-too-sweet cookies are made with white wine and a splash of anise-flavoured liqueur. They may seem quite simple and homely, but they’re actually highly addictive — it’s impossible to eat just one! I’ve attempted to make these taralli many times over the years, with limited success. After trying countless versions of this recipe…
Crispy Oatmeal Cookies
If you like cookies with crispy edges and a chewy centre, these are the cookies for you. The oatmeal in this recipe is ground to a fine powder before being added into the dough, giving these cookies a lot of texture without being too hard and crumbly. You can customize this recipe by using any…
