Random act of kindness are simple. I need to do it more. I challenge us all to make a batch of homemade cookies and give them to someone to brighten their day.

I always get rave reviews when I make homemade chocolate chip cookies. I’ve shared my secret before. I use a copycat recipe of the famous Levain Bakery chocolate chip cookies with a few small tweaks I have perfected over the years. I shared all the info. HERE.

Another favorite cookie recipe I bake often is a family hand-me-down. The flat, crispy, melt in your mouth, buttery sugar cookies remind me of weekends at the lake with the whole family. I’m sharing the recipe so you can make your own family memories. I have also linked below the supplies I use when baking cookies. Now go bake some cookies and make someone’s day.
