Easy is our fav!
Cookies are always a good idea, especially when they whip up in less than 20 minutes!
We absolutely LOVE having Easy Cookie Recipes handy, because they’re a go-to treat in our home. Today, we are rounding up the best of the best Easy Cookies, and we hope you enjoy them.
There are so many flavor varieties and they taste great with cold milk, or Ice Cream smooshed in the middle (please tell me you’ve tried that).
Main types of cookies
These six cookies are the base of pretty much every cookie:
Drop cookies use a cookie scoop to drop dough directly on the pan to bake. A great example is the traditional Chocolate Chip Cookie.
Molded cookies. The dough is rolled into a ball and then placed on the cookie pan. Sometimes they are coated like Snickerdoodles, other times you can flatten them as you do for Peanut Butter Cookies.
No bake cookies. A mixture is usually heated in the microwave or stovetop and then added to stable ingredients, often oats. You scoop and let them set, no baking required.
Rolled cookies. Roll out the dough and stamp out or cut it into shapes. Think classic Sugar Cookies.
Slice and bake. The dough for these cookies is rolled into a log, wrapped, and placed in the fridge. When you’re ready, you slice the log into cookie dough rounds and then bake.
Pressed cookies. Squeeze the dough through a special cookie press, which creates both simple and intricate designs in the dough. Spritz cookies are a good example.
ingredient Substitutions
Common Ingredients: One thing I particularly like about most cookie recipes is that they use ingredients that I always have on hand. Some cookie recipes have a lot of ingredients, others only require a few.
Many times an ingredient I don’t have on hand is one that is easily substituted with something else that I do have. Some common cookie substitutes include:
- Mix-ins. Include things like chocolate chips, chipped candies, chopped nuts, and sprinkles. These can often be added/substituted without it affecting the dough.
- Brown Sugar. Not often, but sometimes I find I don’t have enough for a recipe that I’ve already started. Thankfully, I can quickly make some light brown sugar by thoroughly combining 1 cup of white sugar with 1 teaspoon of molasses. Use 2 teaspoons molasses for dark brown sugar.
- Baking Powder is made by mixing ¼ teaspoon baking soda + ½ teaspoon cream of tartar + ¼ teaspoon cornstarch.
- Baking Soda. ½ teaspoon baking soda = 2 teaspoon baking powder.
- 1 egg can be replaced with ¼ cup of applesauce.
Cookie Tips
Sometimes a cookie recipe will have special instructions, so read through the recipe and take notes. For the most part, cookies will benefit from the following tips:
Do not overmix. Overmixing can cause a tough cookie. Mixing the wet ingredients and dry ingredients in separate bowls, then combining them together will produce the best texture.
Storing cookies. Placing a piece of white bread into the airtight container with the cookies can help keep cookies softer longer.
Cool on the pan. Take cookies out of the oven just as they look like they’re done, even if the center may seem a bit underdone. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 2-3 minutes so that they can cook a bit longer and reach the perfect cook before you transfer them to a wire rack.
Chewy or crunchy. Increasing the brown sugar will result in a chewier cookie. Increasing the white sugar will produce a crunchier cookie.
Picture perfect. When I am mixing anything into the dough, I will always add 4-5 candies, nuts, chocolate chips, etc. on top of the dough balls right before baking. As the dough cooks, the toppings will naturally spread out and sit beautifully on top of the cookie.
Flash freeze. This is a method that calls for you to shape the dough, typically into balls, place them on a baking sheet, and then into the freezer. Once the dough is solid, transfer them all to a freezer-safe storage container to be baked later.
Cake Mix Cookies 101
When making these cookies, only use the dry cake mix that is in the box plus the ingredients listed in the recipe. DO NOT include the wet ingredients listed on the back of the cake mix box.
A couple of notes about cake mix cookies:
- Cake mix size. The most common size of cake mix at my grocery store is 15.25 oz. However, I have used slightly larger mixes that have turned out just fine – 1 oz is only about 4 tablespoons of cake mix.
- The dough will be sticky. Chilling the dough for 20-30 minutes before scooping it will help. Chilling also helps the cookies from spreading out too thin.
- Don’t overbake. In fact, take them out just as they are on the cusp of being underdone. They will finish baking as they cool on the hot baking sheet.
Quicker and Easier
Double up on cookie sheets! Though a few of the recipes listed call for a short chill time, most of them are make and bake. To make the process even quicker, have two cookie sheets. While one is baking fill up a second sheet.
Softening butter. One element that can hinder how long it takes to whip up a batch of cookies is softening the butter. Refer to our post How to Soften Butter Quickly for ideas.
Make ahead of time. Probably one of the best things I love about cookies is that, often, the dough can be made ahead of time and frozen for later. When you need a quick treat for unexpected guests or a late-night craving hits, all you have to do is pull out a few cookie dough balls and bake them.
Almost all of these easy cookie recipes can be formed into dough balls and frozen for later. See individual posts for more information.
