Instead of making plain ole chocolate chip cookies, gingerbread cookies, or sugar cookies for the holidays, step up your cookie game and try out one of these delicious recipes. Everyone will love you for it.

Vegan Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies – These cookies might be fall-inspired, but they are delicious year-round. Using canned pumpkin, this recipe comes together very quickly. Plus, you can boast to everyone these cookies are arguably healthier than some of the other butter-heavy options out there and therefore it’s okay to eat a lot of them.

Nutella + Oreo Cookies –  A combination of two amazing sweet things, Nutella and Oreos, these cookies do not disappoint.

Chocolate Chunk Cookies & Cream Cookies – Inspired by chocolate chip cookies, these cookies take things to the next level by using chocolate chunks (my preference of chocolate chips) and Oreo cookies. Yeah, let’s just add crushed cookies to these cookies. Totally delicious.

Brown Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies – Browning the butter for these chocolate chip cookies is totally worth the time and effort. It creates a deeper, nuttier flavor for these cookies that resemble bakery cookies.

Cocoa Sea Salt Brown Butter Cookies  – Probably one of my all-time favorite cookies, these are a little more time-consuming and not for a beginner baker to take on, these cookies just melt in your mouth. The sea salt brings out the sweetness of the sugar and the flavor of the cocoa and it’s altogether an amazing experience for your tastebuds.

There you have it! Happy baking!
