The sugar coating doesn’t only give the cookies a dainty look, but a melt-in-your-mouth experience as well.
They’re delicious from the exterior down to the very last crumb.

The Philippine version of the French macarons is made of shredded coconut, egg whites, and honey.
They’re sweet, tender, chewy, and bursting with a coconut-y flavor.
They have such a unique texture and flavor that you’d think they require some expertise in baking, but they actually come together in less than 30 minutes.
6. Chocolate Icebox Cookies
These chocolate icebox cookies are so soft, they melt in your mouth. They’re outrageously rich and buttery. In short, they’re irresistible.
Invented all the way back in the 1930s, icebox cookies were made back when people used iceboxes instead of refrigerators and freezers to preserve food, hence the name.
Flavored with cocoa powder and a dash of cinnamon, the cookies were so scrumptious they stood the test of time.
7. Lemon Drop Cookies

The cookies are sweet, but the lemon glaze on top balances out the sweetness wonderfully.
They’re super soft in the middle, and crispy and chewy around the edges.

Linzer cookies are Austrian treats of almond-based shortbread with a jam filling.
I love how you can be as creative as you like with the shapes and the filling.
Whether they’re round or heart-shaped, filled with blueberry or apricot jam, you can’t go wrong. These cookies will surely be your mom’s newest favorite.

These cookies are super soft, chewy, and buttery. The cookies themselves have a cream cheese and butter base, so you can already tell how flavorful they are.
But it doesn’t end there. The cookies are studded with chunks of white chocolate and dried raspberries.
They’re just as decadent as you imagine them to be.

15. Oatmeal Raisin Cookies
Oatmeal raisin cookies may have the same cult following as the classic chocolate chip cookies, but I think they deserve the spotlight just as much.
These cookies are not only soft and chewy from oatmeal and raisins, but also perfectly spiced with cinnamon.
Buttery pecans also give them an element of crunch.
So, while they’re not loaded with chocolate chips, they’ll still delight the tastebuds.
16. Pink Lemonade Cookies

Infused with pink lemonade mix, these cookies have a unique flavor and hue.
Butter gives them richness while lemon juice adds a nice zing. Together, they create a wonderful harmony of flavors.
