Last year for Halloween, I dressed up as Sesame Street’s Cookie Monster, and my son was an adorable chocolate chip cookie. The costumes were a testament to my deep love for cookies, which knows no bounds. Like many of our readers, I often reach for a cookie when I want something comforting, sweet, and snack-sized—even better if there’s a glass of milk or a cup of coffee for me to enjoy it with. For that reason, I try to keep my freezer stocked with as many cookies as possible, so I never have to go without.
If you have just as much of a sweet tooth as I do, you’ve come to the right place. With December around the corner and holiday baking on our minds, we decided to gather the cookie recipes our readers have saved the most with MyRecipes, our free tool for saving and organizing recipes. You’ll find classic chocolate chip cookies, zingy lemon slice-and-bake cookies, as well as pleasantly chewy oatmeal raisin cookies, among many others. Prep a few batches, stash them in your freezer, and you’ll be ready for every single cookie swap you’re invited to this holiday season.
