I’VE ALWAYS LOVED AN ADVENT CALENDAR. There’s so much that I find enchanting: The slow roll-out of treats, one each day. How each treat stays hidden behind a tiny little door. Advent calendars really force you to stop and savor every moment before the holiday—unlike Christmas morning, when months of gifting work is basically over in 20 minutes. We’ve covered a million Advent calendars at Delish. Our team has unearthed ones that reveal beer! Hot sauce! Matcha! Even jerky! (You can shop them all at delish.com/best-food-advent-calendars.) I’ve aways dreamed of making a Delish Advent calendar—a little package that gives you a daily sweet made by our amazing food team. The logistics make this impossible, so I thought I’d deliver this issue in the same magical way: A cookie for each…

STEP 1 Prep Your Cookies Choose the right type of cookie to send, avoiding ones with perishable fillings and anything that’s too delicate. To maximize freshness, Sarley recommends freezing the cookies before you ship. “The transit time can be a perfect way to allow them to thaw,” he says. STEP 2 Wrap Them Up Separate each type of cookie and wrap them in cellophane bags (available at craft stores and Amazon.com) so the flavors and moisture won’t affect the other cookies in the box. STEP 3 Line Your Tin Your cookies need a little cushioning, should the ride or flight get a little bumpy. Use shredded crinkle strips, tissue paper, or even crumpled gift wrap to keep them safe in transit. STEP 4 Decorate Get festive! Add labels, ribbons, and…

MAKE THE BUTTERCREAM In a large bowl, using an electric mixer on medium speed, beat 1 c. (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened, until creamy. Add 5 c. (575 g.) powdered sugar and beat on low speed until smooth. Add ¼ c. whole milk, ½ tsp. pure vanilla extract, and ¼ tsp. kosher salt; beat until combined. Transfer two-thirds of buttercream to a piping bag fitted with a small star tip. Whisk a few drops of red liquid food coloring into remaining buttercream. DECORATE! Using a small offset spatula, spread red buttercream over tops of cookies to create the hat. Dip into red sanding sugar, pressing to smooth and adhere. Using short piping motions, pipe stars of white buttercream onto cookies to create a beard and pom-pom on each hat. Press…

COOKIES WERE MY ENTRY POINT into the kitchen. I spent hours churching up grocery-store cookie mixes with whatever moved my imagination. I watched in awe as my grandmothers and great aunts made batch after batch of cookies. I noticed the power that a simple cookie held. They’re the most accessible baked good. They’re handheld, portable, not fussy at all, and yet a single bite of a cookie can move a person to happiness like no other dessert can. My favorite person to make cookies for is someone who least expects it—showing up to the dentist with a fresh batch or stashing a few in my mailbox for the letter carrier. My day runs on cookies. I try to squeeze the treat into every meal: a Peanut Butter S’mores bar for lunch,…

WHEN YOU THINK OF CLASSIC Big Apple foods, a few staples come to mind: a $3 slice of pizza, a street-cart hot dog, a bagel with a schmear. But perhaps no treat is as famous in the city as the illustrious black and white cookie. The result of bakeries using up leftover cake batter at the end of the day, a black and white has a soft, fine crumb that more closely resembles your favorite vanilla cake than a cookie. The contrasting frosting on top is half chocolate, half vanilla (no need to pick a favorite!), divided down the middle, and melts in your mouth. Many people trace black and white cookies back to Glaser’s Bake Shop in Manhattan. Bavarian immigrants John and Justine Glaser opened the store in 1902,…

EVERYTHING THAT I MAKE has a special place in my heart. When we were filming Queer Eye in Kansas City, Tan France brought these cookies to our fajita night that we would do every single week. They have the perfect chew, with the sharp candied ginger, the flaky shredded coconut, and the warm cardamom. They always remind me of my friendship with him. I know that’s cheesy, but I’m very sentimental when it comes to food. My aunt Leslie taught me to under-bake cookies like these a little bit, because they tend to get crispy after a couple of days. Another one of her pro tips: Storing cookies in a plastic container with a slice of white bread does wonders, keeping them nice and moist. Some of these old wives’ tales…

MAKES 18 40 MIN All-purpose flour, for surface1 (14-oz.) package frozen puff pastry, thawed¼ c. demerara sugar 1. Preheat oven to 400°.

When should I start baking? There’s no need to wait until the last minute. Many cookies freeze well, and if tightly wrapped, they will stay good in the freezer for up to 3 months. But most doughs can also be refrigerated for up to 2 days before baking. My cookies are always dry. What am I doing wrong? You are likely overbaking. There will be carryover cooking after they come out of the oven, so pull them out a minute earlier than you think you should and see if that helps. Why do my cookies come out so cakey? This is usually a result of overbeating the butter and sugar—you’ve incorporated too much air into the batter. You just want to beat it until your butter is creamy and all…

Forty years ago, Ina Garten tasted shortbread that she’s thought about ever since. The recipe came from Eli Zabar, owner of E.A.T., a New York City restaurant known for its pastries. “I remember thinking, This is the perfect shortbread,” she says. “I’ve used it for so many things, including a crust for a raspberry tart.” Yes, that famous raspberry tart from her original best-seller, The Barefoot Contessa Cookbook. In this recipe from her new cookbook, Go-To Dinners, Garten adds autumnal flavors to the buttery cookie. “I like spices that you aren’t quite sure what they are, but the flavor is familiar in some way,” she says. When the shortbread is hot right out of the oven, the apple-pie spices fill your home with warm aromas, enticing anyone within a mile radius…
