I’ve been known to go big (some friends would say overboard) when I’m baking cookies for a special occasion, like the holidays. One year, I offered a 12-cookie selection made up of elaborately decorated festive cut-out, sandwiched, and dipped cookies that almost killed me (not an exaggeration). Unless I’m baking for a celebration or prepping for a bake sale, however, my everyday cookies of choice are almost always quick and easy. By “everyday,” I mean you can easily whip up a batch in about 30 minutes—or better, you can prep a batch of dough to freeze and bake whenever the mood strikes. Whether you want a wonderful slice-and-bake option like a French sablé or buttery shortbread, we guarantee there’s an easy cookie recipe in this collection to satisfy any cookie craving or occasion.
