Chocolate cookies paired with decadent frosting equal the ultimate chocolate-hazelnut treat.

These tender snowballs will melt in your mouth. For a sweet surprise, tuck a piece of chocolate in the centre of each ball.

The original 1957 version of these make-ahead bonbons were billed as a convenience treat. Sprinkling a bit of childhood-favourite sugary cereal overtop adds a bit of crunch, colour and fun.

These buttery shortbread-like bites from 2005 are the ideal make-ahead cookie, and they travel beautifully. Prepare and bake the dough, then fill with colourful jam or lemon curd just before serving.

Moon Mist is an iconic Atlantic Canada ice cream flavour that swirls together vibrant yellow banana, blue bubble gum and purple grape. Neither kids nor adults will be able to resist the cookie version of this childhood summer classic. If you use a scoop to portion them, they almost look like ice cream.
