The most popular cookie recipe on my blog is technically not even a cookie recipe at all. But it’s so good that you might want to just skip the cookie tray altogether and make one of these cookie pies instead.

Just a thought 😉

    Hi Katie,

    I commented on this post previously but I had a very random question. I’m a senior in high school and in the midst of applying to colleges, one of them being Bryn Mawr. I remember reading that you went there but transferred–was it strange being at an all-girl’s school? Any input/thoughts from a former student who attended would be very helpful! Sorry if this is too off-topic

    1. Chocolate Covered Katie says:

      Bryn Mawr is beautiful, and I loved being so close to Philadelphia. For me, it was just too small. Classes filled up quickly, and it was not uncommon to end up having to take a class not in one’s major when all of the desired classes were filled. There are many positives to the school, though, so please don’t let me sway you against it if you visit and love it. It was also quite a while ago that I was there. https://lett-trim.today/2010/06/25/my-real-life-part-1/%3C/a%3E%3C/p%3E

    These look insanely tasty! I can’t wait to see all the recipes you re-make!

  3. Kaitlin says:

    Snickerdoodles!!!

  4. Jessica says:

    I made your ginger butter and used it in your peanut butter cookie recipe, following it exactly except I subbed greek yogurt for applesauce and I omitted the 2 tbsp of brown sugar because I only had full flavor molasses to make the ginger butter. I love how they turned out! It tastes kind of like a soft gingerbread cookie, but with a bit of peanut butter.

  5. Lydia says:

    Biscotti cookies would be fantastic!

  6. Nicole says:

    Gingersnaps please!!! Not the crunchy kind, like gingerbread men, but the soft chewy kind. 🙂

  7. Sarah Lister says:

    Hi. These all look amazing, but the one I really want to try is no.2, the pixie one, but the link and the photo just take me to your book and I can’t see the recipe! It’s probably me doing something silly but the other links work?

    1. Chocolate Covered Katie says:

      Sorry for the confusion. That one is exclusive to the cookbook, so I’m not allowed to publish it on the blog. I definitely would it I could!! 🙂

    Dear Katie,
    We are totally in love with your recipes! We are raising two young daughters and we are totally dedicated to their health. We have childhood memories of candy canes and butter cookies but feel like we can offer our girls the lovely experience of family cookie baking without using sugar or animal products. So far so good! I think, however, I might need your help: my eldest daughter, aged 3, is completely in love with The Little House on the Prairie books, and sees Pa bring in a skillet of snow. Ma and the girls then use it to make molasses candy. Me, NOT thinking of how they did this, promised at the first snow that we would learn how to make molasses candy. So here I go looking up a recipe thinking I’m gonna get the CoolMomAward for the week when I’m ready to follow through on this fantasy and the recipe is basically straight Sugar Syrup. Help! How can we make this using whole plant based sweeteners? The recipe mentions using a candy thermometer and I am way out of my area of expertise!

    I’ve never had a macaron, so I’m kind of diggin’ those suggestions!

    I’m just going to spew off a couple of cookies I miss from back in the day and see if it gives you any inspiration:

    -Nilla wafers
    -Teddy Grahams (okay, these first two aren’t technically “cookies”, but they’re definitely not crackers, nor healthy or GF/vegan!)
    -Sugar wafers (ya know, that come in vanilla, chocolate, and strawberry and only cost like a buck for a pack the size of a keyboard?)

    No chocolate in these….I might have to re-comment when I’m feeling more myself!
