The first thing I think of with holiday cookies is gingerbread because making gingerbread is such a good Thanksgiving activity too. These cookies have such a nice deep molasses flavor and are nice and fluffy thanks to cake flour! Be warned, the dough is a wet one, so make sure you have extra flour on…

Inspired by true Grasshopper Squares that I made growing up, these are a less dense and chewier version. Also fun and quick to make! (But require overnight of cooling, so make them the day before the party!) If you’re looking for another way to mix mint and chocolate, I’d suggest my Chewy Mint Chocolate Cookies.…

Chocolate and mint, or peppermint, just go perfectly (note: I do prefer peppermint extract over mint extract… the latter can taste too much like toothpaste). These are crispy and chewy cookies, with a texture much like my Chewy Ginger Molasses Cookies. If you’re looking for another way to mix mint and chocolate, I’d suggest Grasshopper…

These are crispy at the edges and chewy in the centers. If you’re looking for something cakier, check out my Cakey Ginger Molasses Cookies! I most recently made these with all purpose flour, but I’ve done these before gluten free with rice and oat flour. Total time (including baking): 20 min. Makes about 18 good-sized…

Soft and sweet, these make a good mid-ride treat! (Note: can make these more “snappy” by flattening before baking and baking for longer, but will soften by the next day.) If you’re looking for something more crispy and chewy, check out my Chewy Ginger Molasses Cookies! Total time (including baking): 20 min. Makes about 18…

These are for real dark chocolate lovers. I love the orange (Grand Marnier) and chocolate combination, but if you don’t, these could be made completely chocolate with some vanilla extract or other flavor (such as Sambuca) if desired. Total time: 30 minutes. Makes about 16 large cookies. Materials: Mixing bowl; measuring vessels; baking sheet(s). Missing…

When I first made these cookies, I was really excited! Who would’ve thought these were only sweetened by dates? I usually think chocolate chip cookies are pretty good… usually saved by the chocolate chips. But I love the cookie part of these cookies as much as the chocolate chips! It is moist without being undercooked…

These use more “traditional” baking ingredients, but the millet adds a crunch and the spices add real spice–careful with the cayenne! The cookie texture is light and airy but not dry and not cakey either… let me know how you’d describe it! Total time (including baking): 25 min. Makes about 20 medium-sized cookies. Materials: Mixing…

Chocolate and… chocolate. These are crunchy with a soft (but not gooey) interior, chunky, dark, rich cookies. It’s a really a toss up between these and my Soft Chocolate Chocolate Chip Cookies for best cookie in the world, in my opinion (I’m a chocolate person). If I want something hefty, I go for these, and…

Beware, these cookies spread, so give them space on the pan! If you’re looking for a large, crispy cookie with a chewy interior, this is it. I’m still trying to replicate my Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookie recipe, so stay tuned @endurance_baking for that if you’re looking for something thicker and chewier. (And if you’re going…
