In a few short months everyone is going to be discussing COOKIES. Why, you ask? Because the holidays are coming up and calories don’t count in October, November, and December, am I right? Well, I don’t know about you but I think about cookies year round and believe that there’s never a bad time to bake or eat them!! They’re worth the calories no matter what time of year it is. Yes, I really just said that out loud and I don’t care if you’re rolling your eyes! {hopefully you’re not and are in the same camp as I am!!!}

I’d like to say that I’m writing this blog post to get ahead of the cookie making game for the holidays but actually, over the past decade I’ve already made every single one of these recipes that I’m about to share!! I first found them all via Pinterest and not only did I pin them to my own boards {do you follow me?? If not, you MUST!!!}, but I’ve also made them time and time again. With my favorite gluten-free flour of course. Each cookie, without fail, has come out PERFECTLY and I wanted to share because I know you will love them all!!

So, whether you’re craving something that’s savory, sweet, chocolaty, gooey, soft, easy to make, no bake, something pretty to look at, or even a cookie on the healthier side, there’s a recipe here calling your name. PROMISE. See for yourself below:

1. Potato Chip Cookies
