Sweeten Mother’s Day Weekend with These Delicious Cookies
As Mother’s Day weekend approaches, what better way to celebrate than by baking delicious cookies with loved ones? Whether you’re treating Mom to one of her favorites or enjoying some quality time baking together, this array of cookie recipes will sweeten any celebration.
Blueberry Muffin Cookies
With a crunchy sugar-crusted surface and a cakey interior, these Blueberry Muffin Cookies offer the best part of a blueberry muffin in cookie form. Butter gives the breakfast-ready cookies an irresistibly tender, pillowy crumb, just like the top of a muffin. Brimming with fresh blueberries and drizzled with a tart lemon glaze, it’s summertime perfection.
Cream-Filled Basque Cookies
Heilala Vanilla‘s premium vanilla beans bring warmth and complexity to these indulgent cream-filled Basque cookies inspired by the flavors of the gâteau Basque. A timeless cake from the Basque region in southwestern France, the gâteau Basque features a pâte brisée crust filled with pastry cream. We added crème fraîche to this sugar cookie base for a tanginess that complements the cookie’s sweetness perfectly.
Chocolate-Covered Crisp Rice Cookies
These Chocolate-Covered Crisp Rice Cookies are as simple as they are delicious and are sure to serve up a healthy dose of nostalgia. A childhood favorite of our editor-in-chief, Brian Hart Hoffman, these soft, chewy cookies are full of nutty, sweet caramel and toasted crisp rice cereal, all of which is then covered by a fudgy layer of melted milk chocolate. These crisp rice cookies are truly out of this world!
Carrot Cake Sandwich Cookies
We kept the base flavors of these tender Carrot Cake Sandwich Cookies faithful to the original, with a carrot-rich dough brimming pecans. A thick layer of Sour Cream Buttercream rounds out every bite of these Carrot Cake Sandwich Cookies with just the right amount of tang.
Black-and-White Thumbprint Cookies
It doesn’t get much simpler or more satisfying than these black-and-white cookies. With a bittersweet black cocoa base and a silky vanilla bean buttercream, this recipe is a nostalgic crowd-pleaser.
Snickerdoodle Sablés
A sophisticated spin on the classic American cookie, this recipe delivers the buttery cinnamon flavor you love in a crumbly French shortbread. Instead of just rolling the dough in cinnamon and sugar like the standard snickerdoodle recipe requires, we incorporate the ingredients into the dough, brush with egg yolk, and dip them in cinnamon and sugar again before baking.
Black Cocoa Sandwich Cookies
Just like the Oreo® sandwich cookies of your childhood—only bigger, better, and baked completely from scratch.
Pineapple-Ginger Thumbprint Cookies
We reimagined the classic Southeast Asian pineapple tart as a zingy ginger cookie topped with a ball of spiced, caramelized pineapple jam. As a nod to the original’s elegant stamped shape, we piped these cookies into a mesmerizing swirl.
S’mores Chocolate Chunk Cookies
We fused all the flavors of the classic campfire treat into one dough. In the mood for ice cream sandwiches? Vanilla bean, rocky road, and fudge will all be delicious sandwiched between these chewy yet crispy-in-the-right-places cookie.
Vanilla Strawberry Sandwich Cookies
To accentuate the sweetness of our strawberry frosting-filled sandwich cookies, we relied on a triple dose of Heilala Vanilla. Heilala Vanilla’s extract and vanilla bean paste pump up the flavor of the cookies and frosting while a final roll in Heilala Vanilla Sugar gives the cookies a satisfying, vanilla-forward crunch.
Berry Palmiers
These Berry Palmiers are our take on the French classic. Made of buttery rough puff pastry shaped into an iconic double swirl, palmiers take the crown as the most delicate of French cookies. We filled ours with a homemade blackberry and blueberry jam for a summertime twist on the classic.
