Biscuit and Cookie Recipes
Biscuits and cookies are the ultimate comfort treats, whether you want a bakery-style chocolate chip cookie, a buttery shortbread, a filled biscuit or something beautiful enough to give as a present. I've grouped all my biscuit and cookie recipes by flavour, style, dietary need and occasion so you can find every useful option, not just a short selection. For more sweet inspiration, browse my chocolate recipes, macaron recipes and complete desserts collection.
Bake the magic of Christmas with these homemade German Lebkuchen. These chewy, spiced gingerbread cookies are packed with ground almonds, hazelnuts, honey, citrus and holiday spices. These classic European cookies are much better than store bought and naturally gluten-free too!

Classic sweet biscuits and cookies
Chocolate chip, chocolate and chunky cookies
From thick bakery-style cookies to chocolate crinkles, whoopie pies and a five-minute microwave cookie, this is where the richest biscuit cravings are answered.
















Shortbread and buttery biscuits
These crumbly, buttery favourites range from classic buttons to tea, lavender, ginger, jam and pistachio variations.
Sandwich, filled and jam biscuits
Jam, caramel, chocolate, buttercream and passion fruit turn these biscuits into satisfying little sandwiches and filled treats.









Lemon, fruit and everyday cookies
Choose bright lemon cookies, jammy bakes, pineapple tarts, cornflake cookies or a carrot cake-inspired cookie.
Spiced, nutty and oat biscuits
Ginger, molasses, cardamom, sesame, pistachio, peanut butter, almonds and oats bring plenty of warmth, chew and crunch.

















Classic and unusual biscuits
These recipes do not fit neatly into one flavour family, but each offers a useful technique or traditional biscuit worth discovering.
Copycat bakery and Girl Scout cookies
Recreate Levain and Crumbl bakery cookies or work through homemade versions of favourite Girl Scout biscuits.
Special styles and easy methods
Macarons, macaroons and meringue cookies
French macarons, coconut macaroons and crisp meringue cookies all have distinct techniques, so they deserve their own browsing path.








Quick, small-batch and no-bake cookies
Use these when time, batch size or avoiding the oven matters more than following a traditional biscuit method.







Gluten-free biscuits, cookies and crackers
These recipes are already gluten-free or include a deliberately tested gluten-free component.
Cookie cakes, ice cream sandwiches and biscuit-based treats
Go beyond the biscuit tin with skillet cookies, cookie cakes, frozen sandwiches, rocky road, slices and other biscuit-based desserts.













Savoury and pet biscuits
Savoury crackers, crispbreads and biscuits
For cheese boards, dips, snacks and picnics, these crisp savoury recipes belong well beyond the sweet biscuit tin.







Dog biscuits
These two recipes are made specifically for dogs, so they are kept separate from the biscuits intended for people.
Biscuits for celebrations and decorating
ANZAC biscuits and Australian favourites
Start with classic chewy or crunchy ANZAC biscuits, then explore a gluten-free version, chocolate variation, slice and familiar Australian and New Zealand favourites.
Christmas cookies and edible gifts
This complete festive collection includes gingerbread houses, traditional European biscuits, edible decorations, quick gifts and cookies for Santa.


























Halloween cookies and gingerbread houses
Skeletons, witches, zombies, haunted houses and misfortune cookies make this a suitably spooky corner of the biscuit collection.















Easter, Valentine's Day and other celebrations
These biscuits cover Easter, Purim, Valentine's Day, baptisms and baby showers without forcing them into Christmas or Halloween.
Decorated and shaped cookies
Use cutters, royal icing, fondant, paint and clever shapes to make biscuits for parties, gifts and creative afternoon projects.
