Cookies

Simple, Sweet, and Seriously Easy

If there’s one thing that can turn a bad day around, it’s a warm cookie pulled straight from the oven. At Em’s Sweet Life, I’ve made it my mission to create cookie recipes that are as much fun to make as they are to eat. Forget the complicated steps! We’re talking about bowl to belly baking that builds your confidence one batch at a time.

I want you to feel like a pro, even if you’re just starting out. My recipes are designed to be forgiving, reliable, and (most importantly) totally delicious. Whether you’re baking with kids, prepping a gift, or just treating yourself on a Tuesday night, these cookies are here to make your kitchen a place of calm and creativity.

Cookie Recipes

  • Quick Chunky Choc Chip Cookies
    There’s nothing quite like a classic choc chip cookie, and this quick, chunky version might just be my favourite yet. With a short rest in the fridge before baking, the dough firms up just enough to give you that perfect contrast. These chunky cookies have a golden, crunchy edge with a soft, chewy centre. The kind of cookie that’s just as good warm from the oven as it is the next day… If they last that long!
  • Super Easy Brownie Crackle Cookies
    If you love the chewy edges of a brownie and the soft, fudgy centre, these Super Easy Brownie Crackle Cookies are going to win you over. They’ve got that crinkled top, a rich bittersweet chocolate flavour, and the perfect balance of crisp and gooey. The dough does need a little time to chill, but it’s worth every minute. The result is a cookie that looks beautiful and tastes even better. Simple to make, deeply chocolatey, and dangerously moreish. Just how a good cookie should be.
