Eggless Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough

This eggless chocolate chip cookie dough tastes just like Toll House chocolate chip cookie dough except it’s specifically made without eggs. But it boasts exactly the same flavor and mouthfeel as the real deal. Safe for children and anyone else a little leery of raw eggs.

Whole Wheat Chocolate Chip Cookies

These whole wheat chocolate chip cookies have a deeper flavor and a chewier texture than traditional cookies. Walnuts add crunch. The cookies are even better the next day, if you can believe that!

New York Times’ Chocolate Chip Cookies

Say hello to the recipe that started an Internet craze and made bakers rethink how to make cookies. This originally appeared in an article I wrote for the New York Times on July 9, 2008. What makes them so damn special is the dough is refrigerated for 36 hours for a more complex flavor and greater variation in texture. Sea salt is the finishing touch.

Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies

Oatmeal chocolate chip cookies are healthier than their classic cousin thanks to the presence of oats. Yet they’re still sufficiently indulgent to not make you question whether or not you’ll feel spectacularly satisfied, both with the cookies and yourself.

Tahini Chocolate Chip Cookies

These tahini chocolate chip cookies are as easy as the classic Toll House cookies but a lot more memorable thanks to ample chocolate chunks and subtle nuttiness from the tahini. We and everyone we know think they’re utterly irresistible with their crackly edges and soft centers.

These espresso chocolate chunk cookies are a lot like Tollhouse chocolate chip cookies but amped up. Way up. They’re basically a more mature version of a household staple. Which means you don’t have to share with the kids.
