Brownie cookies are just what you need when you’re desperate for chocolate, but don’t want a whole pan of brownies sitting on the kitchen counter for days, tempting you to slice just one more tiny nibble as you walk by. These cookies may not be more healthy or less-indulgent, but they are thin and delicate, giving the illusion of restraint – ha! Plus, they are easy to share with others, if you can bear to part with them!

Ginger Snaps
Ginger snaps were always a favorite in our house growing up. Although most often baked during the holiday season, we ate them year-round. They are just so tasty dipped in a glass of milk or into a mug of hot tea on a rainy day. Plus, kids can help with just about every step, including rolling the cookie dough balls into coarse sugar.

Calico Cat and Dotty Dalmatian Cookies
If you have a little one who loves kittens and puppies, these are just the treats for you. They have such a fun calico pattern on them too, all without the time-consuming effort of frosting. Let the dough do the work – simply add food coloring to the sugar cookie dough, roll the colors together somewhat strategically, and flatten them out to bake. No two look the same, but all end up adorable!
