11 Warm, Gooey Cookie Recipes to Get You Through the Last of Winter
There are some people who think that all cookies are created equal, that your Keebler variety measures up to a warm, gooey cookie fresh from the oven. We are not those people. Make no mistake: a chocolate chip confection, lightly crispy on the edges and paired with a tall glass of milk, is nothing short of divine.
From chewy peanut butter to spiced gingersnap, deep-dish skillet to oatmeal, we’ve rounded up the most mouthwatering, crave-worthy cookies to warm you up for the last stretch of winter. Be still, our beating hearts.

Peanut Butter
You know those peanut butter cookies your mom used to make? These are better. Bakerella dips the ends in chocolate and rolls them in crushed peanuts — genius.

Compost
We’re not talking banana peels, here. Leave it to the folks at Momofuku Milk Bar to whip up the most outlandish, yet strangely addictive cookie ever. Sure, you’ll start with ordinary chocolate, but soon, Christina Tosi has you mixing in pretzels and potato chips. Brown Eyed Baker has the recipe.
