Quick and Easy Chocolate Chip Cookies Chewy cookies with just-crisp edges, loaded with melted chopped bar chocolate for a bolder flavor. White Chocolate Macadamia Nut Cookies These soft, tender white chocolate macadamia nut cookies are loaded with vanilla flavor, thanks to white chocolate melted directly into the dough. Soft and Crunchy Peanut Butter Cookies Peanut butter cookies with that signature soft, chewy texture, plus crunch from whole roasted nuts.

We may have the solution to your woes. Read more →    Serious Eats 88 35th St Ste 602 Brooklyn, NY 11232 Click Preferences to control which emails you receive from Serious Eats.
