What signals the start of the holiday season for you? Maybe it’s the Peppermint Mocha reclaiming its spot on the menu at Starbucks and Dunkin’. Or perhaps it’s the return of the Wawa Gobbler, or Cracker Barrel’s country fried turkey. For me, a food editor and lover of all things delicious, it’s Cookie Week at New York Times Cooking.
Even as someone who’s admittedly baking-averse (and devoid of finesse when it comes to kneading, frosting—you get the picture), I’m tempted enough by at least one recipe every year to bust out the stand mixer. In 2024, it was Eric Kim’s Lemon-Turmeric Crinkle Cookies. This year, it’ll be one of the following seven confections, which are debuting on the NYTC site today.
Read on for the PureWow exclusive on 2025’s Cookie Week lineup, as well as details on how the publication is celebrating with readers.
