Cooking Club: Your next challenge is fresh-baked cookies!
Cooking Club: Fresh-baked cookies
The ultimate chocolate-chip cookie
The back-to-school and back-to-work crunch is on and while our weekdays may be a little more hectic, weekends are still precious time to spend with family and friends. And what better way is there than to spend some quality time in the kitchen baking up delicious treats?
We chose five of our favourite cookie recipes, that we think are perfect to brown bag for school or work for much-needed midday reward.
But wait, there’s more: Now the Chatelaine Cooking Club comes with prizing! The best cookie photo, as chosen by our kitchen, will receive a kitchen gadget gift pack from Microplane (including assorted graters and their new adjustable slicer!) valued at over $100. Yay!
First up, our ultimate chocolate cookie
PB & J thumbprint cookies
These bite-sized cookies are as delicious as they are cute.
*Since the star ingredient is peanut butter, these cookies are best for indulging in at home.

Quick photo tips: Don’t use a flash, natural light is best. Just place your plate near a window and shoot away. Don’t bother using props – they’ll detract from the featured food. Overhead is always nice, close-ups work well, and get in close so we can see what’s cookin’! The larger the photo, the better.
