Guest Top Ten List
Anna Ginsberg is a self-taught, non-professional home cookie baker whose knowledge comes from books, experimentation, cooking classes, and tips from baking & cooking pals around the nation. When she's not entering cook-offs or recipe contests, she likes to bake cookies and write about them on her blog Cookie Madness.
My favorite cookie bloggers are independent people who try not to bake what every other blogger is baking at the moment and who put their hearts into each post. Most of them make other goodies as well, but their cookie collections stand out based on quality, quantity or a combination of both. These are my current Top 10.
Top 10 Cookie Blogs
Alexandra’s Cookie Dreams
If you’ve ever dreamed of owning your own mail order cookie business, check out Alexandra’s chronicle of life as a teacher turned mail-order cookie maven. Along with including recipes, she participates in the comment section and keeps communication between herself, customers and readers a two way street. Plus, her cookies are incredible.

Along with having the scoop on new products and ingredients, Nicole always manages to find or develop interesting recipes. While Baking Bites is not solely dedicated to cookie recipes, you’ll find plenty of good ones. Check out Nicole’s Girl Scout Cookie clones.
Baking and Boys!
Katrina is a mom in Kansas. She loves to bake and since her big family doesn’t care for cake, she bakes tons of cookies. There’s a lot of information on life and family. Type “Cookies” into the search box and you won’t be disappointed.

This blog talks about all kinds of baked goods, but if it’s cookies you are looking for…well, this is one-stop shopping. My favorite cookie is her Chocolate Shock.

Joe has a wide range of savory dishes, but I usually head straight for the sweets. While the recipe he posts aren’t usually his own, he often finds a simple ingredients or step for making them better. Joe has over a hundred cookie recipes and he’s divided them neatly into categories.

Drop in and Decorate
It’s one thing to share cookies with co-workers, but decorating them and sharing them with family centers and other non-profits is another. Drop in and Decorate will help you take your cookie baking generosity to the next level.
Oatmeal Cookie Guy
Someone once told me “Find something that you’re really good at and stick with it.” Jeff must have been given the same advice because he’s devoted his whole blog to oatmeal cookies. All the recipes Jeff posts are unique his own unique creations. Try the Cranberry Crunch Oatmeal Cookies.
Su Good Sweets
Jessica is on the cutting edge sweet ideas and she’s willing to test certain recipes that sound interesting but iffy – for instance, bacon shortbread or Asian oatmeal cookies made with Goji berries. I like Jessica’s selection of cookie recipes and her open-minded approach to sweets. She’s also very nice and an active participant in her comment section.

The Clumbsy Cookie
Rita is a pastry chef in Portugal. She likes to tests the limits when it comes to flavors – Chicken and Broccoli Biscotti? But somebody’s gotta do it, right? How else would we have figured out bacon goes well in gingersnaps.

The Cookie Blog
Tiffany packs a lot of information onto one page, yet the blog is still fairly easy to navigate. What I love about this one is the number of recipes and reviews. There are plenty and each one has a personal review from either Tiffany or a friend.
