Join us as we dive into the flavors and creativity of this year's Cookie Week!
Cookie enthusiasts, assemble! The holiday season is here, and it’s time to embrace the transformative power of cookies. This year marks the much-anticipated return of Cookie Week at New York Times Cooking, an event helmed by the spirited Vaughn Vreeland. Dedicated to enhancing the festive spirit, this year’s lineup includes seven unique cookie recipes crafted by culinary stars such as Sohla El-Waylly, Melissa Clark, and Eric Kim, whose personalities shine through in both their culinary creations and accompanying video tutorials.
In preparation for Cookie Week, the team was hard at work right from July. Focusing on modern takes of beloved classics, they introduced vibrant interpretations of shortbread, exciting flavor pairings, and shapes that break the interval of mundane circles. Drawing from nostalgia, inspirations of yule logs, rocky roads, and warm mugs of buttered rum flooded the creative process, pushing culinary boundaries while honoring the cherished holiday traditions.
Once the meticulous planning culminated in a feast of taste and visuals, the delectable cookies rolled out last week, ready to make their inspired mark. Among all the mouthwatering options, one recipe has particularly captured Vaughn's heart: Sohla’s holiday rocky road. A delicious no-bake treat bursting with marshmallows, nuts, and surprising spices through cookie butter, this festive treat is not only visually stunning but also effortlessly simple to create—ideal for gifting as well as indulgent snacking throughout the holidays.
As the sweetness of Cookie Week unfolds, the sheer joy of baking and creating festive treats invites everyone to join the celebration. It's not just the cookies but the memories created around them that make the season truly special.
