In January I decided to change up my cookie baking a bit for 2026. Cookies are something I make fairly often, as in several times a month, with chocolate chip being the ones I make time and time and time again. There are a few other flavors thrown in on occasion: sugar, molasses, no-bake, white chocolate macadamia nut, oatmeal butterscotch. . . but far and away chocolate chip is the auto-pilot cookie when I reach for the mixing bowl with the intent of baking cookies.
What I challenged myself to is to make lots of different kinds of cookies this year. No one recipe back to back, and no chocolate chip cookies twice in the same month, maybe not even in the same season.
So far, I have made cookies five times in 2026 and I have only (just this week!) made chocolate chip once. Yay for diversity!
Despite the non-chocolate chip cookie pictures in this post, which I dug up from my files, I have made none of those cookies yet this year. What I have made are
- molasses
- walnut/pecan chocolate chunk (used both walnuts and pecans because I was short on walnuts)
- oatmeal
- "Ritz" (Ritz crackers sandwiched with peanut butter and dipped in melted chocolate then allowed to cool)
- chocolate chip
