Are you looking for the perfect Cookie Recipes for the holiday baking season? Below is a list of all kinds of great cookies from some of my favorite bloggers.
Cookie Recipes {Tried and True}
I have spent the last couple weeks asking my blogging buds for their favorite cookie recipes from their sites. And, they did not disappoint! I am so very excited to share with you this list of Tried and True Cookie Recipes… from kitchens across the blogosphere! (Psst… Make sure to pin this list to save it for future reference.)
Giant Chocolate Chip Cookies
First up is the recipe for Giant Chocolate Chip Cookies over on Gooseberry Patch. The Goose and I go way back to my early, early days and I adore their staff and big puffy heart their cookbooks. When I asked for a favorite cookie recipe of their staff, this classic chocolate chip recipe came with a serious good recommendation! 
Amy’s Chocolate Chip Cookies
Leah’s version of Amy’s Chocolate Chip Cookies over on Beyer Beware is fantastic. They use pudding in the dough and it makes ALL the difference. Leah and I have been friends for years and I have had the pleasure of having these babies in person. You simply cannot eat just one.
Grandma’s Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars
This past year I have had the pleasure of getting to know Krista over at Everyday Mom’s Meals. Although we are both Hoosiers, we have yet to meet IRL (In Real Life… as if online isn’t real, but that is a whole other blog post ; ) and we are going to have to remedy that one day soon! Krista shared with me her Grandma’s Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars. 
Chewy Chocolate Chip Butterscotch Cookies
Mandy over on South Your Mouth is another blogger that I have gotten to know this past year. You will love her serious good recipes and her no-holds-bar way with words. Mandy shared with me her Chewy Chocolate Chip Butterscotch Cookies. I am a sucker for the butterscotch twist to any cookie.
No-Bake Peanut Butter Oatmeal Cookies
Mandy also shared her very popular No-Bake Peanut Butter Oatmeal Cookies. Don’t they look divine? 
Pumpkin Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies
Mary over on Giving Up on Perfect were fast friends when we met in Texas this year at a blog conference. I adore her authentic approach to her blog and life in general, and I cannot wait to try her Pumpkin Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies. 
Monster Cookies
Mary also whipped up a quick batch of Monster Cookies to share. These babies take 15 minutes to prep and 20 minutes to bake. Don’ t they look delish?
S’mores Cookies
S’more lovers will have to check out Mary’s S’mores Cookies. Hershey’s chocolate, mini marshmallows and graham cracker pieces adorn these chocolate chip cookies.
Phenomenal Apple Cookies
A dear friend, Miss Jent over on From My Front Porch shared with me her Phenomenal Apple Cookies. These cookies are so good she has to hide a couple because they are gone before she knows it! Jent’s blog is such a treasure. Her honest humor is often a highlight of my day. Jent shares the joys and struggles of life on the farm. You simply must check her site out. 
Cherry Almond Bars
Another fellow Indiana blogger, Liz over on Hoosier Homemade shared with me her Cherry Almond Bars. Don’t they look ah-mazing? Even though we are both Hoosiers, I actually met Liz in person for the first time in Tennessee at a blog conference!

Liz also shared these festive Pumpkin Cranberry Cookies with Maple Frosting that take your traditional pumpkin cookie to a whole new level.
Caramel Cashew Bar Cookies
Liz’s Caramel Cashew Bar Cookies use a cake mix as the crust with a decadent topping of caramels, marshmallows and cashews
Easy Peanut Butter Cookies
My very favorite traditional cookie is my Easy Peanut Butter Cookie. This cookie is rich with memories and is always a much requested family favorite. 
4-Ingredient Peanut Butter Cookies
These 4-Ingredient Peanut Butter Cookies are also a favorite at this house. A super quick fix, they are also quite addicting.
Amy from A Latte with Ott, A and I used to work together and now keep in touch via the blogosphere. Amy shared with me her Double Lemon Cookies that use a lemon cake mix with lemon chips!
Lemon Bars
Another Liz from Indiana –my good friend over on Two Maids A Milking– shared a couple fruity favorites, including these Lemon Bars. Liz is known in our circle of friends as quite the baker. I have a serious love for Lemon Bars, so I cannot wait to try her go-to recipe. 
Cranberry Treasure Cookies
Liz also shared these Cranberry Treasure Cookies that she posted over on Real Farmwives of America and Friends. I just love a good cranberry cookie, don’t you? These cookies are packed full of fresh cranberries, white chocolate chips and pecans.
Hot Cocoa Cookies
If you have a hot cocoa fan in your house, you are going to want to try Liz’s Hot Cocoa Cookies. These would be so fun to make with the kiddos since they use the hot cocoa packets and the little bitty marshmallows they love. 
Oatmeal Butterscotch Cookies
Liz’s Oatmeal Butterscotch Cookies are a butterscotch fan’s delight. Oh and Miss Liz gives us permission to have them for breakfast too!

Marybeth is a vet and a farmer. In addition to Alarm Clock Wars, Marybeth also has a great resource blog for folks who have questions about food and farms today.
Peppermint Snow Ball Cookies
Marybeth also shared these festive Peppermint Snow Ball Cookies with me. Much like a traditional snowball cookie, this recipe adds the twist of crushed peppermint candies.

My friend Heather over on Basilmomma shared her Maple Bacon Cookies… a recipe I am sure my bacon loving hubs will definitely want to give a try. I feel like I have known Miss Heather forever.

Heather also shared her from-scratch Chocolate Crinkle Cookies. A lot of folks use a cake mix to make crinkle cookies, but Heather shows you the homemade version.
Double Chocolate Oatmeal Sea Salt Cookies
My friend Rebeca over on Average Parent shared with me her Double Chocolate Oatmeal Sea Salt Cookies. A little salt with the sweet? Yes, please.
