Have you ever heard of Goosnaugh Cakes, Hamantashen or Pfeffernůesse cookies? Neither had I until I perused Ester Brody’s, The 250 Best Cookie Recipes. If you are looking for original recipes with straight forward ingredients this book is for you.
The 250 cookie recipes all include easy-to-follow directions with helpful tips on storage, ingredient methods and a troubleshooting section. With so many cookie swapping parties and the holidays coming up, there is definitely a wide variety of unique recipes here. If you are like me, it will be hard to decide on just one.
After marking about 12 recipes with my trusty Post-It notes, I decided on these simple, but delectable Cream Cheese Chocolate Chip Cookies. Frankly, anything that involves cream cheese and chocolate is a no-brainer for me. They were light, chocolaty and delicious. I am officially adding these cookies to my rotation!
