Chocolate Christmas Cookie Recipes To Bake All Season Long
“C is for cookie, it’s good enough for me,” a furry blue monster once famously opined. But more often than not that Cookie Monster was seen losing it over classic chocolate chip versions. And he isn’t alone in his obsession. Far beyond the borders of Sesame Street, there’s nothing like a chocolate cookie to cause a stampede at a holiday party.
Spiced with nutmeg, sprinkled with crushed potato chips, studded with nuts or scented with orange, chocolate pairs well with practically everything and provides the perfect starting point for any number of cookie recipes. Here we’ve gathered an array of options from our friends at Food52, Food & Wine, “Milkshake” recording artist-turned-bona fide chef Kelis, popular food blogger Coco Cake Land and other illustrious bakers. Choices range from crispy thin cookies to chewy variations to über-chocolatey monsters that defy categorization.
Are you a wholesome peanut butter-and-chocolate cookie type or more of a salted chocolate chip cookie gal? What’s more important to you: crackling edges or fudgy insides? Nutty? Minty? Milk or dark? Distilling what type of chocolate cookie we prefer is a question we must all answer for ourselves and, truthfully, can take decades upon decades to determine. So your best bet is to make a few different batches and let your family and friends decide what their favorite recipe is. Whatever the result, you will be ever-after known as the party host with the most… cookies. Just be sure to have plenty of glasses of milk on hand too.
