A homemade chocolate chip cookie is a comforting, nostalgic treat—especially when it's as good as this one. For our very best soft chocolate chip cookie recipe, we use plenty of unsalted butter and a combination of brown sugar and granulated sugar to create the soft texture. Be sure to use good quality chocolate chips, and don't overmix the cookie dough to ensure the cookies are tender, not chewy. (Prefer a crisp cookie? Try our Crisp and Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookie recipe.)

These sweet and not-so-sweet treats are easy to bake.

Birthdays, graduations, and other big-time celebrations call for extra-large cakes. These single-layer stunners come together quickly, which means minimal effort for major wow.

Cheesecake is a fan favorite for good reason; it's a rich, creamy, and irresistible dessert. With this no-bake cheesecake recipe, making it is as simple as enjoying it. An easy press-in graham-cracker crust is filled with a rich cream cheese and condensed milk filling, flavored with vanilla and lemon. After preparing, just refrigerate until set—no cooking necessary. It's a great dessert for summer when you don't want to heat up the kitchen, but it's also a classic any time of year.
