These carrot cake cookies are one of my favorite cookies, even if they are made with vegetables. Just like my carrot cake cheesecake, I think a lot of my love for them has to do with the cream cheese frosting piled on top!

I never thought I'd be so excited to share cookies covered in worms, but I guess that's just what happens when you're a boy mom 🤷‍♀️ These dirt cookies are inspired by the dirt pudding cups my mom used to make when I was a kid. They are quite tasty, so much fun, and my boys absolutely love them! /p>]]> https://sugarspunrun.com/dirt-cookies/feed/ 4 https://sugarspunrun.com/mint-chocolate-cookies/ https://sugarspunrun.com/mint-chocolate-cookies/#comments Thu, 29 Feb 2024 13:00:00 +0000 https://sugarspunrun.com/?p=59563 My mint chocolate cookies combine fudgy chocolate cookies with creamy mint frosting and rich chocolate ganache. These are positively gourmet! Recipe includes a how-to video!

If you're looking for a pretty green dessert to make for St. Patrick's Day, look no further! Not only are these mint chocolate cookies a soft shade of mint green (like a Shamrock Shake!), they are also incredibly tasty.

Chewy oats, melty chocolate, crisp candy...these monster cookies have it all. They're like a cross between my peanut butter cookies, oatmeal cookies, and M&M cookies, and they tend to be a crowd favorite wherever I bring them. Plus, they are simple to make and so much fun to eat!

I'm back with another fun variation of classic snickerdoodles! These brown butter snickerdoodles are thick, soft, melt-in-your mouth cookies that are absolutely loaded with flavor.

Some days, you just need a good chocolate cookie, and for that I have plenty of options: double chocolate chip cookies, brownie cookies, and even flourless chocolate cookies will all do the trick. Then there are days when you need a chocolate cookie that's so rich, so indulgent it should come with a warning...and that's when these chocolate lava cookies do their best work.

The Best Oatmeal Cookies

These orange cookies are so much fun! They have a bright and fresh orange flavor that especially comes from the frosting, so don’t skip it. I also add some cream cheese to the frosting, which really complements the orange flavor (just like the frosting on my orange rolls!).

This is a super simple shortbread recipe made with just seven ingredients (including the icing!). Don't let its simplicity fool you though; these lemon meltaway cookies are bursting with flavor and taste so good, especially considering how few ingredients are needed. Plus, there's no chilling required!

A close cousin to the anise cookies I shared yesterday, these Italian cookies are a classic! This recipe was given to me by my grandmother's cousin, Janet. One of the main differences between yesterday's recipe and this recipe is the glaze; as Janet said (and was very clear about when sharing this recipe!), you need a clear glaze for real Italian cookies. As a result, today's glaze is not nearly as thick as the icing I shared yesterday.

An Italian style Christmas cookie, these tender and pretty anise cookies are begging to join your Christmas cookie tray! They have a distinct anise flavor; if you've never had it before, it tastes like black licorice. Not everyone enjoys it’s potent taste, but if you do, you'll love these cookies!

We're big hot chocolate fans around here, in case you can't tell. From our hot chocolate cake to our hot chocolate fudge, we've remixed the cozy beverage quite a few times now. The saga continues today with these incredible hot chocolate cookies!

Snowball cookies are classic, old-fashioned cookies that are popular during the Christmas season. They're similar to Russian tea cakes or Mexican wedding cookies, but we will be chilling the dough and using more cornstarch and flour here for round, snowball-like cookies!

Here's a unique addition to your Christmas cookie tray: grinch cookies! I actually developed this recipe several years ago and can’t believe I haven't shared it here sooner. These cookies are incredibly soft and chewy, fun, and kids love them!

Sugar, spice, and everything nice--that's what cinnamon cookies are made of! With their swirls of buttery, spiced brown sugar goodness, these cookies are gorgeous and oh so tempting. They're a bit of a cross between a cinnamon roll and a snickerdoodle, and they're so much fun!

I'm excited to be sharing my updated shortbread cookie recipe with you today! While I was happy with the original, I wanted to make some tweaks for more tender, soft, and melt-in-your-mouth results that still held their shape beautifully. Comparing the two, my old version was more like a sugar cookie, while this is classic, perfected shortbread.

If you've been around for a little while, you know we're typically team soft and chewy cookies here at Sugar Spun Run. However, I will make an exception from time to time, especially when nostalgia is involved. And for me, there's no cookie quite as nostalgic as these sand tarts!

Neapolitan cookies might not be the first cookie you think of adding to your Christmas cookie tray, but I'm here to make case for them. Not only are they absolutely adorable and unique, but they have a little something or everyone (just like the ice cream!). A little sweet, a little fruity, and of course, a little chocolatey--these are the ultimate crowd-pleasing cookies!

I’ve received quite a few requests for cranberry orange recipes recently, so I challenged myself to make some orange cranberry cookies (you know how I love cookies!). Sounds fairly straightforward, right? I thought so too, but surprisingly, this recipe was tricky to master.

I know I say this every time I share a new cookie recipe, but these praline cookies may be my new favorite cookies. There's simply so much to love here, from the pecan-packed cookie base to the sweet (and just a little salty!) praline topping. Truly the perfect embodiment of candy meets cookie, this is a must-try recipe!

So what exactly are spice cookies? Well for starters, spice cookies are not the same thing as gingerbread men or gingersnap cookies. We won't be adding any molasses to this recipe (besides what is in the brown sugar!), and the resulting cookies will have a softer, chewier texture.

Where fruity pebbles macarons are adorable and fun, my new red velvet macarons are so pretty and elegant. With that classic bright red color, smooth cream cheese filling, and optional white chocolate drizzle on top, these sweet sandwich cookies are a petite and poppable version of your favorite red velvet cake!

So far I've shared pumpkin cheesecake in classic form, as mini no-bake cheesecakes, and most recently, as cheesecake bars. Today, I'm taking things one step further and sharing pumpkin cheesecake cookies!

I've received so many flavor requests since sharing my French macaron recipe, and today's Fruity Pebble Macarons were #1 on my to-do list. My recipe incorporates pulverized Fruity Pebbles in the cookie shells, throughout the Fruity Pebbles frosting filling, and even includes a few extra Fruity Pebbles on top. They are so much fun!

Not to be confused with hand pies, my apple pie cookies are gourmet cookies inspired by classic apple pie! They are so fun to make and would be a truly unique and welcomed addition to your Thanksgiving dessert table.
