As delicious as they are spooky, these finger-shaped cookies are terrifyingly perfect for Halloween. If you can get past the initial creepiness and dare to take a bite, you won't be able to stop eating them, from the nails to the last crumb! This Halloween almond finger recipe, which could easily belong to any sinister witch, is going to frighten you!

Baking cookies is child's play, and these delicious almond and orange cookies are proof of that: with very little and in very little time you'll be enjoying some delicious cookies. If you serve them with or dip them in chocolate, the combination will be even tastier. Claudia's word.

What a great quick cookie recipe! Brown sugar, butter, and ginger cookies. Today we baked cookies with the kids, and besides having a blast shaping and decorating their cookies each to their liking, the cookies turned out SUPER DELICIOUS. So I'm leaving the recipe here in case you feel like making this Sunday a cookie Sunday too.

Alfajores are one of the most popular sweets in Argentine cuisine, although they are not exclusive to the country of tango, asados and gauchos. They are also very common in other Latin American countries such as Uruguay, Chile, Mexico and the Dominican Republic.

They are very simple to make and are dangerously delicious, at least in their most classic and traditional form: filled with dulce de leche and rolled in grated coconut.

I haven't seen a quicker or easier cookie recipe than this banana and oats one. It's as simple as mashing the banana, mixing it with the oats, and baking. Today I bring the two versions of this recipe that are most popular at home. Of course, they include chocolate: "Oat and Chocolate Cookies" and "Oat, Coconut and Chocolate-Covered Cookies". Which one do you think you'll choose?

A few days ago, we shared a post where we explained how to make royal icing for cookies. Christmas is here and it's the time to put it into practice! Simple decorations for Christmas cookies, but defined and elegant. That's what we want to focus on in this post. I hope the ideas for making Christmas cookies that I bring you today inspire you to prepare some beautiful, homemade, and original cookies.

More and more people are hearing about Spéculoos cookies, typical and very traditional at Christmastime in Belgium (where they call them speculaas), and also very popular in Germany (Spekulatius). I'll tell you a few things about them and bring a recipe for almond Spéculoos cookies that are richly spiced and festive.

It's cookie time, and we can agree they look beautiful with icing to decorate them. Icing is all about consistency, and it's as easy to make as mixing sugar and egg white. If you haven't tried it yet, with all the explanations in this post about how to make cookie icing, now is the time to start.

If you're looking for the ultimate chocolate cookie recipe, you've found it. Since I tried this NYC Cookies recipe my kids won't want any other: these are the chocolate cookies that became popular in New York after being published in the New York Times. There are different versions, you'll find them under names like "New York Times Cookies" (or NYT Cookies), "New York City Cookies" (or NYC Cookies) or New York Chio Cookies. Regardless of the name you find, they're amazing!

It's hard to find something quicker, simpler and more delicious to prepare in the kitchen than homemade cookies (especially if we have a pair of "extra" hands ready to help). There are countless cookie recipes, but usually each of us has one that stands out above the rest, our favorite cookie recipe, the one that never fails. In our case, and after a long and undisputed reign of the typical chocolate chip cookies, these brownie-style chocolate cookies are our latest weakness.

I make these butter cookies filled with chocolate at home every week. I stopped buying the supermarket ones when I learned that industrial cookies weren't entirely healthy, especially those filled with cocoa creams.

Did you know homemade cookies can last up to a month in perfect condition if you store them properly? That is, as long as you don't get distracted and the little ones (or some older kid in the house... ahem!) don't play mouse and eat them first.

Baking cookies is one of my favorite pleasures. It's easy and also quick, since the dough requires very little mixing and the baking takes little time (about 15 minutes). Kids enjoy it too, you make sure to eat quality ingredients and, if you make them in batches, you have reserves for days.
