Seasonal Cookies, Fun Flavors & Creative Twists

Hundreds of recipes by Nina Patel – chewy, crisp and swirled cookies with playful flavors.

Profile:

Nina Patel's recipes start with a good cookie dough and then play with it: peach in a snickerdoodle, pumpkin puree swirled through a chewy cookie, raspberries folded in with white chocolate, lemon in a gluten free sugar cookie. Her archive leans heavily toward cookies, with seasonal batches for fall and Halloween, fruit-forward summer bakes and a few handheld extras such as French toast muffins and glazed sugar cookie bars for feeding a crowd.

What makes her recipes practical is the way they are written. Batch sizes are stated up front, so you know whether a recipe makes a dozen cookies or four dozen bars. Many of the recipes are built around quick timings, such as a 25-minute lemon cookie or a 30-minute muffin, and swaps like gluten free flour blends are worked into the method rather than tacked on at the end.

If you like cookies that look a little different from the usual chocolate chip tray but still come together with pantry ingredients, browse her latest recipes below and pick one for your next bake.
