Chocolate Chip Cookies Without Brown Sugar
Are you curious if you can make chocolate chip cookies without brown sugar? Yes, you can, AND they are pretty tasty too.
Triple Ghirardelli Chocolate Chip Cookies (Gluten-Free)
The secret to these gluten-free chocolate chip cookies’ incredible flavor is the triple-good Ghirardelli chocolate chips: Bittersweet, Semisweet, and Milk Chocolate. That said, you can use whatever Ghirardelli chocolate chips (or combination thereof) you have on hand.
Chocolate Chip Pecan Cookies
We love the basic chocolate chip cookie here at CookingChew, but whenever we want a little bit more crunch or oomph, we make a batch of these delicious chocolate chip pecan cookies! The toasted pecans have a nutty and buttery taste that works so well with the sweet chocolate chips, and the addition of oatmeal in the cookie dough results in soft, moist cookies.
German Chocolate Cookies
This delicious recipe is perfect for those who have a sweet tooth: you can have all the goodness of German chocolate cakes in bite-size form! The toasted coconut and pecans add a scrumptious nuttiness that elevates the whole cookie.
Almond Joy Cookies
One of the lovely things about these almond joy cookies recipe is that they only require 5 ingredients. A sweetie blend of coconut, sweetened condensed milk (i.e., to reduce the level of sugar to be added), almonds, and semi-sweet chocolate chips.
Hot Cocoa Cookies
These cookies bring all of the flavors our beloved hot drink into the comfort of a cookie. Any cookie that brings together chocolatey goodness and marshmallow bits is worthy of celebration.
Buckeye Brownie Cookies (Crumbl Copycat)
I’m not going to keep you for long up here because this is the triple threat of goodness: Chocolate / Peanut Butter / More Chocolate. You’ll make a brownie base, a peanut butter filling and chocolate ganache, layer them together and be the hero of every cookie exchange.
Chocolate Macaroons
If you are curious about how to make chocolate macaroons, then you are in for a treat. A macaroon cookie is a flourless cookie that is made out of egg whites, sugar and coconut.
Avalanche Cookies
These avalanche cookies are made with melty white chocolate, peanut butter, crispy rice cereal, marshmallows, and mini chocolate chips. These quick avalanche cookies are perfect for parties or a Friday night craving.
Edible Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough
Every spoonful of this edible chocolate chip cookie dough leans into butter, brown sugar, and vanilla, beaten until the mixture turns pale and airy, then thickened with heat-treated flour so it holds its shape without losing its softness. The mini chocolate chips scatter through the dough evenly, giving each bite a little snap against the tender base.
Cake Mix Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars
Skip the stress and bake up these chocolate chip cookie bars. A cake mix gives you a head start, while melted butter and eggs make them taste truly homemade.
Sheet Pan Peanut Butter Cookie Bars
These bars are soft, chewy, and packed with a rich peanut butter flavor that’s perfectly complemented by the melty chocolate chips. And to top it off, each bar is adorned with a Hershey’s Kiss.
No-Bake Peanut Butter Bars
These Peanut Butter Bars will have a firm yet slightly chewy texture rather than being crunchy or crisp. The chocolate layer on top will firm up when chilled, adding a bit of contrast, but overall, these bars will be more smooth, creamy, and chewy rather than crisp.
Peanut Butter Swirl Brownies
Rich chocolate and creamy peanut butter—a match made in dessert heaven. These Peanut Butter Swirl Brownies are a magical fusion of flavors, delivering the perfect balance of fudgy chocolate and swirled ribbons of peanut butter.
Rocky Road Brownies
Rocky road brownies are brownies topped with a gooey layer of chocolate chips, coconut, mini marshmallows, and chopped pecans. While making brownies from scratch is a beautiful thing for those folks that have a gourmet kitchen and a lot of time, we made these fantastically gooey brownies using a box mix.
3-Ingredient Pumpkin Brownies
If you’re a pumpkin lover like me, these pumpkin brownies are going to be a game-changer. This is a three-ingredient recipe, which means less stress and more yum.
Fantasy Fudge

Valentine’s Chocolate Bark
This fun, colorful, and yummy original Valentine’s Chocolate Bark recipe uses a few high-quality ingredients that really make this perfect for gifting. Ghirardelli Dark Chocolate Chips is what we used for this Valentines Bark recipe.
Dinosaur Cookie Chocolate Bark

Christmas Puppy Chow
Ready for an easy chocolatey, peanut-buttery Christmas Puppy Chow snack mix? This is also known as reindeer chow or muddie buddies that you may have grown up with, and we’ve leveled up the original recipe, so now it’s absolutely addicting!
Valentine Puppy Chow
Puppy chow is a sweet snack mix made from Chex cereal coated in melted chocolate and peanut butter, then tossed in powdered sugar. This Valentine Puppy Chow Snack has a few more surprises, like tiny “puppy love” cookies, Reese’s Blossom Top pb cups, and tiny conversation hearts!
Chocolate Hummus
This recipe is rich and dark with cocoa powder, garbanzo beans (chickpeas), dark chocolate chips, a sweetener of your choice, and a touch of salt. This recipe also has melted chocolate chips to help with sweetness.
Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins
But the beauty of it is this is when we can turn those bananas into tasty treats such as these lightly sweet banana chocolate chip muffins. That is why you will notice in this recipe we use maple syrup as our sweetener, and of course, ripe bananas have their own natural sweetness.
Chocolate Chip Cream Cheese Danishes
With crisp puff pastry, tangy vanilla cream cheese, and melty mini chips, these chocolate chip cream cheese danishes will have everyone craving them come the weekend. They reheat really well too, so make the whole batch, and reheat one or two at a time.
Biscuit Dough Donut Holes With Chocolate Dip
These biscuit dough donut holes prove that a can of biscuits can transform into something truly special. Each bite has the satisfying crackle of fried dough dusted with cinnamon sugar, giving way to a soft, buttery center that begs to be dipped in melted chocolate.
Boston Cream Pie Cookie Cups
These Boston Cream Pie Cookie Cups are soft, creamy, and topped with chocolate ganache. Inspired by the classic dessert we all love, this mini version is easier to make—and way more fun to eat!
Peanut Butter Mousse Parfait With Chocolate Drizzle
Enter the Peanut Butter Mousse Parfait with Chocolate Drizzle—a decadent dessert that brings together the bold flavors of peanut butter and chocolate in perfect harmony. The creamy peanut butter mousse, layered with velvety whipped cream and topped with a luscious chocolate drizzle, is sure to satisfy even the most intense sweet tooth.
Java Chip Frappuccino
In the same vein that Pumpkin Pie Spice has neither Pumpkin nor Pie in it, a Java Chip Frappuccino doesn’t have “java chips”—it has a mocha syrup base (the Java, which is another word synonymous with “coffee”) and “Chip” which is the shortened form of “chocolate chips”. Ironically, or maybe not, the chocolate chips are blended so fine that you get the hint of chocolate flavored bits.
