In a college student’s diet, anything homemade is worth more than gold. Fortunately for everybody, Oct. 1 happens to be National Homemade Cookie Day, and October is National Cookie Month. So, grease up that cookie sheet and make a batch of one of these seven homemade cookies for your friends, favorite professor or yourself:
Chocolate Peanut Butter Pillow Cookies
Peanut butter and chocolate is a classic combination of flavors, and here’s a recipe for pillow cookies with the flavors. These cookies wrap chewy peanut butter dough in a dark chocolate dough for a cookie version of Reese’s peanut butter cups.
Hot Chocolate Cookies
Nothing says fall like a mug full of hot chocolate and marshmallows. With this recipe, you can take the beverage staple and bake it into cookies. The recipe uses up those hot chocolate packets you have left over and makes a gooey chocolate cookie with marshmallow bits baked in.
Blackberry Lavender Chocolate Chip Cookies
Summer is quickly fleeing, which means access to fresh berries is also almost over. Fortunately, here’s a recipe to satisfy your craving for berry desserts. End summer with this fruity and sweet cookie recipe.
Chocolate Chip Potato Chip Cookies
Potato chips and chocolate are the ultimate comfort snack, but would you combine them into one sweet and salty treat? This recipe mixes the two for crunchy and chewy homemade cookies. The recipe is a great way to use up those chip crumbs in the bottom of the bag.
Maple Glazed Apple Crisp Cookies
Nothing says fall like apple picking and baking, so this recipe creates a cookie using those leftover apples from your last apple orchard trip. The cookies themselves are a cookie version of the classic apple strussell. Add on the maple glaze and the cookie screams fall.
Double Chocolate Avocado Cookies
This recipe is one for all the avocado fanatics out there. Combining chocolate and zucchini in pastries is not an uncommon practice, but the recipe pulls avocado out for this one. If you’re looking for a healthier cookie recipe that doesn’t taste like vegetables, the author of the cookie recipe claims you can’t taste the avocados at all.
Caramel Macchiato Thumbprint Cookies
Coffee is essential to any college student’s regime, so why not bake the classic caramel macchiato into a cookie? This Betty Crocker recipe has coffee baked straight into the cookie, a gooey caramel center and a chocolate drizzle.
