Chef John Best Cookies
1. Chef John’s Chocolate Chip Cookies
“Crispy around the edges, chewy and chocolaty in the middle, and thin, oh so thin,” says Chef John. “The only real variable is the baking time, since we all scoop slightly different amounts. And yes, of course you can add nuts to yours!” Watch the video to see how to make these without an electric mixer.

3. Chef John’s Gingersnap Cookies
Check out the spices that put the “snap” in these gingersnaps: cinnamon, cloves, black pepper, and two kinds of ginger. Can you handle this much flavor? “Yes” is always the right answer.
4. Chef John’s Chocolate Mint Brownies
“This stripped-down recipe for brownies requires almost zero technique,” says Chef John. I say that’s music to a beginning baker’s ears. Watch the video to see how easy it is to make these brownies.

5. Holiday Rum Balls
According to Chef John, “A proper rum ball should be a fire hazard.” You’ve been warned. Oh, one more thing: This recipe starts with about 8 ounces of leftover chocolate brownies. Hmmm…what are these leftover brownies of which you speak?
6. Gingerbread Whoopie Pies
Landing somewhere between a cookie and a cake, these soft, spicy whoopie pies are made extra luscious with a cream cheese frosting. Yep, there’s an easy-to-follow video to show you every step.

7. Chef John’s Russian Tea Cakes
To hear Chef John tell it, “As the old joke goes, these Russian tea cakes might not be Russian, but at least they’re not cakes.” Of course, Mexico and Italy also lay claim to them, calling them wedding cakes. Whatever their true origin, they’re a Christmas favorite everywhere. Watch the video to see how they’re made.

9. Chef John’s Rosemary Shortbread Cookies
What’s that? You’ve never tasted savory herbs in sweet cookies before? You are in for a treat! Here’s what Francine Lizotte, Club Foody says about them: “I never made shortbread cookies let alone rosemary shortbread cookies. The flavor is absolutely scrumptious. It has a nice buttery flavor and the rosemary adds a nice twist to the usual shortbread cookie.”
10. Caramel Sea Salt Dark Chocolate Coins
“These chocolate coins are inspired by my love for the chocolate-salt-caramel flavor combination, and my fascination with edible money.” You’re going to want to watch the video for the rest of the story, and the how-to.
