these are two recipes that i made as i was just getting into baking a couple years ago , pretty simple to execute but very rewarding in the final product & definitely classics to me at least
the chocolate chip cookie is quite easy to put together , cutting nice bar chocolate & a little kosher salt to finish when you take them out of the oven really puts it over the top
the world peace cookie is a little different , somewhere between a chocolate cookie & a shortbread but so delicious
as a bonus there are video of doris greenspan showing the baking process of both of these & i think sheās delightful , annnnd also both of these cookies freeze really well so you can just keep some dough in the freezer and cut a couple off whenever you want just a few as a treat

Historically I donāt bake, mostly because I lived with a friend for like 5 years and she is a baker. But now I donāt, itās the holidays. Honestly it was so fun to dedicate a whole weekend to making cookies! I made lemon glazed sugar, chewy gingerbread and āworld peaceā chocolate cookies (which are the perfect treat) :)
Recipes:
Classic Sugar Cookies - Alison Roman (glaze is just lemon juice, zest, powdered sugar, and then I rolled in sprinkle sugar)
Chewy Gingerbread Cookies - Sohla El-Waylly
World Peace Cookies - Dorie Greenspan

tara o'brady is a genius; her recipe has never failed me. not to mention, who doesn't like a chocolate chip cookie?!
nb: i highly recommend aging your cookie dough in the fridge for 12+ hours before baking because it just makes the final result that much better

not specifically a christmas cookie but i make these around christmas. the chocolate chip to flour ratio is wild lol
1 cup unsalted butter - room temperature
3/4 cup + 1tbspĀ Ā granulated sugar
3/4 cup light brown sugar, packed
2 large eggs
1/4 tsp lemon juice
1 & 1/4 tsp vanilla
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 cup of rolled oats
1/4 tsp cinnamon
2 & 1/4 cups flour
1 tsp salt
2 & 2/3 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 & 3/4 cups chopped nuts (pecans recommended)
mix together butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar.Ā beat in eggs, vanilla, and lemon juice. blend in flour, oats, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.Ā fold in chocolate chips & chopped nuts (it will be absurdly difficult). refrigerate dough overnight. scoop & bake at 300F for ~20 minutes*
*they donāt spread if you refrigerate the dough for 24 hours & keep the remaining dough refrigerated as youāre baking them. also, i make the dough balls big (like a scoop of ice cream) & bake 8 at a time, so they can take several minutes longer than 20 minutes š
itās a little time consuming but worth it imo

itās the perfect length for me to watch after work , i can start a movie at 11 or even 12 & get to bed at the (mostly) reasonable hour of 1:30 at the latest . sometimes i will extend this to 100 or 110 min if iām feeling indulgent or ambitious .
i could watch an hour of tv but this gives me a whole story in only a little bit more time .
