Quick Tips!
A few quick tips for each flavor before we get baking:
- Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough: There’s no need to press down on the cookie dough balls before baking. Just scoop and bake!
- Peanut Butter: Before baking, use a long pronged fork to flatten each cookie dough ball slightly, then turn the fork going the opposite direction and flatten just slightly again. This will create that classic criss cross pattern on the peanut butter cookies as they bake.
- Oatmeal Cranberry Pecan: Gently press down with your hand to flatten each ball of cookie dough slightly before baking. If desired, sprinkle each cookie with a little flaky sea salt right baking for a fabulous sweet and salty flavor.
- White Chocolate Macadamia Nut: Press down gently with your hand to flatten each ball of cookie dough slightly before baking.
- Monster Cookies: Before baking, gently press down with your hand to flatten each ball of cookie dough slightly.
- Snickerdoodle: With the cinnamon and sugar mix-ins recommended, combine them first and then just mix half of the cinnamon sugar mixture into the cookie dough. Reserve the other half to roll the cookie dough balls in before placing them on the cookie sheet to bake. No need to press down on the cookie dough balls before baking.
- Chocolate Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough: Gently press down with your hand to flatten each ball of cookie dough slightly before baking.
How to Mix Flavors and Bake
- Once you have your dough divided into separate mixing bowls, add the mix-ins for each flavor and combine.
- You can use a spoon or rubber spatula, but I’ve found that clean, dry hands work best at blending the dry ingredients with the dough.
- After your mix-ins and dough are well combined, scoop dough onto the parchment-lined cookie sheets a few inches apart.
- Garnish each cookie dough scoop with additional toppings for that flavor, if desired.
Get the Scoop!
If you’re making small cookies, scoop 1 tablespoon of dough per cookie. Scoop 2 tablespoons dough per cookie for medium cookies. To make large cookies, scoop 3 tablespoons of dough per cookie. My favorite cookie scoop set makes it easy.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes, rotating cookie sheets halfway through, until cookies are starting to crisp around the edges are just set on top. Try not to over-bake them if you want them to be chewy.
- Finally, remove cookies from the oven and let them cool on the cookie sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack. Let cool completely and enjoy!
How to Store Leftover Cookies
Store leftovers in an airtight container on the counter for up to five days.
To freeze, place in a freezer safe container for up to three months.

Hi Maegan, I am excited to make this recipe for a bake sale this weekend. I wanted to prep today but only have salted butter. Will this be too much much salt if I add the 1/2 tsp the recipe calls for?
Thank you for sharing and love your site.
Hi Tina! This is such a great recipe to make for a bake sale! If you use salted butter, I would recommend omitting the 1/2 teaspoon salt just to be sure you don’t over-salt the dough. Hope this helps and best wishes for a successful bake sale!
for your 7 flavour cookie how would I make 1 part gingersnap flavored ( as an example if I want to make 4 flavours & one of them would be gingersnap? & is thier any way I could get a crispy cookie of any of these flavours? thank you
Hi Monica! To make one of the flavors gingersnap, I would recommend following the instructions for the 4 Flavors and on the snickerdoodle option, I would recommend using 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger and 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon instead of the 3/4 teaspoon cinnamon that the instructions currently call for. I hope this helps! Enjoy!
What a great idea. Do you think you could freeze all of these doughs? If so, would you cook them frozen or thawed? Thank you for the help.
Hi, Jessica! Yes, they should freeze just fine! After your mix-ins and dough are well combined, scoop dough, roll into balls and place onto the parchment-lined cookie sheets a few inches apart. Freeze cookie dough balls in a single layer for about 1 hour and then transfer to a freezer-safe container or baggie for up to 3 months. Bake at 350°F for 9-11 minutes or until cookies start to brown and crisp around the edges. Keep a close eye on them!
hey hunny! I’d love to try this recipe but I’m uk and conversions are so ever changing on where people are in the US. Do you happen to have a conversion for grams at all? Or just what your sticks of butter weigh haha. Can’t wait to try they look delish! Thank you x
Hi, Beth! Here’s a great guide to convert the measurements in a recipe to grams: https://www.allrecipes.com/article/cup-to-gram-conversions/ Hope this helps! ❤️
