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 😉

    I would like to know how to make healthy lace cookies!
    You Oatmeal Almond Butter Cookies do look tempting for sure!

  2. Jessica says:

    Not sure if you have one of these already but a regular old ginger snap cookie would be cool!

  3. MC says:

    We just made the Peanut Butter Gingerbread cookies last Friday (doubled the recipe) for Sinterklaas (the Dutch Santa that comes the night of December 5th). They turned out great! We loved them! Bonus – watching an 18 month old eat these soft yummy cookies – every crumb went into her mouth:>

    1. Chocolate Covered Katie says:

      Thank you so much for making them!

  4. Carolina says:

    Gluten free (preferably grain-free) gingerbread men!! And/or GF gingersnaps!
    GF peanut butter blossoms and GF biscotti would also be great!

    Do you think you could do a gluten-free Christmas recipe roundup?

    Thanks for all the great recipes you’ve provided us with already!!

    1. EVA says:

      Actually, ALL of her recipes can be made with GF flour. She always has an option, and I’ve personally made 80% of her recipes (I’m GF too) with Bob’s All Purpose, and each one turns out awesome.

      But a GF biscotti sounds like a good idea! I’ve never had a biscotti before, so I’d love to try it out!

      1. D says:

        Something with oat flour, please. I love all your recipes but would love to know how to use oat flour in more of the cookies or baked goods because it is my favorite flour to use. Love your blog!

  5. Whit Meier says:

    Baked Gingerbread soft cookies, and then gingerbread for gingerbread men, and gingerbread houses please!

    1. Chocolate Covered Katie says:

      There’s a soft gingerbread cookie in the cookbook. I’m unfortunately not allowed to post it on the blog. But I can definitely experiment with gingerbread men! If I don’t get one up this year, then hopefully by next year for sure! Love the idea!

      1. Whit Meier says:

        Oh my gosh I am even more excited for your book then! (I didn’t think it was even possible to be more excited 😛 ). I preordered your book as soon as it was available and I can’t wait to see the gingerbread men at some point!! Thank you so much for taking the idea into account!!!

        Ps. Are you going to be doing any book signing with your release?!

  6. Ivy says:

    A traditional Jewish macaroon is made with eggs. If you could come up with an *easy* egg-free version, I’d be so happy. Also, I don’t know if this is even possible to veganize, but those Italian rainbow cookies? They’re actually more like little cakes, with red yellow and green layers of cake surrounded by chocolate.

      1. Ivy says:

        Yum! One down, one to go! Now about those rainbow cookies?? Karen? Katie?

  7. Birdie says:

    I was turned on to your blog and my introduction was to the cake-in-a-mug creation. It is so easy to whip up for celebrations and everyone mixes in their own mug. Ever since, I look for what’s happening’ with attention to no bake or micocookin’. I dig your blog and your personality really shines through to your readers. Shine on, chick! Hint: coconut flour is jive flour, but coconut flakes with another tablespoon of milk is groovy.

  8. Hannah says:

    Wow, I must get baking! So many awesome choices!
    I’d love to see a gingerbread, or shortbread cookies!
    Thanks Katie 🙂

  9. Gemma says:

    I’m blown away by the deliciousness of all these cookies! wow, can’t pick just one…I’d bake them all right now! =)

    Great post Katie!

  10. Linda @ The Fitty says:

    Love how you started with something flourless! Can you do a low carb recipe roundup?

    1. Carolina says:

      I would love a low carb roundup, as well!

      1. Chocolate Covered Katie says:

        I’m admittedly not very knowledgeable what constitutes “low carb” but I can definitely make a note to include flourless recipes this month! 🙂
