Almond Spritz Cookies

Perfect for the cookie swap spread!

Chewy Molasses Cookies

A festive, well spiced molasses cookie, perfect for the holidays. Dieter prefers them without the rolled sugar, so you can skip that step if you want. This recipe is from Dessert Person by Claire Saffitz. - Megan

Chocolate Crinkle Cookies

This is Dieter’s most requested holiday cookie. Be careful not to inhale while eating since it’s easy to inhale that powdered sugar. This is from the America’s Test Kitchen book, Everything Chocolate, which my friend Duncan gifted me on my birthday. I adjust the amount of espresso powder called for in this recipe - I simply think it only needs 2 teaspoons per batch as opposed to the recommended 4. - Megan

Raspberry Thumbprint Shortbread Cookies

I got this recipe from Olivia in 2020 during the pandemic when we lived together to study remotely. I haven’t found a thumbprint recipe I like more. This recipe was only given to me in volume, not mass, and I found that measuring the flour by mass often wasn’t enough, so I would suggest measuring all ingredients by volume to ensure there’s enough flour in the dough. The dough shouldn’t feel greasy when you form the balls. - Megan

Snickerdoodle Cookies

Classic cinnamon sugar cookies.
