It’s Cookie Season
I love Christmas, but I don’t like shopping. I do, however, like baking cookies. I’m experiencing a bit of Thanksgiving remorse and at the same time, can’t wait to begin baking cookies. In order to project my baking craving into something less butter-laden, I decided to create a blog post with links to all the cookie recipes on See Jess Run. That turned out to be quite the undertaking. Fifty-seven recipes, Jess? Really!?
So here they are, categorized for you and ready for your holiday baking needs. I put asterisks next to my Top 10. I also put “healthy” next to the lighter cookies. Please note that this means “healthy…for cookies.”
And yet I always want to try more. What’s your favorite cookie recipe?

Nothing wrong with a little cookie obsession
I made a sweet pumpkin spice cookie (with whole wheat flour,too) last week. It’s probably my new favorite, but I also like plain old oatmeal chocolate chip!
you are definitely the cookie queen! i used to be a shopper but now i don’t have the patience for it – with or without the crazy christmas shoppers!
glad you compiled this list – i have a feeling this will be high-hit post!
So many cookies! Just in time for the holiday season…I’ll definitely be hitting up some of these! Thanks!
I am so excited to make cookies! I’ve been craving them lately. I especially can’t wait for some good old chocolate chip & Peanut Butter cookies! I have a great flourless peanut butter cookie recipe–it’s so simple and so delish!
