cookies

No more cookie cutters, finicky doughs or long chill times: These sugar cookies require hardly any effort, but you wouldn’t know by looking at them!

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.

Chatelaine deputy editor Gillian Grace first tried these chocolatey cookies while staying at the Royal Hotel in Prince Edward County, Ont. Presented to every guest upon check-in, they're a real crowd pleaser: crackly, chewy and totally gluten-free. Pastry chef Sarah Villamere was happy to share the recipe with us—and we can't wait to make them at home ourselves.

These well-spiced cookies are a holiday tradition in European countries like Belgium.

It's a cross-country road trip—via cookie!
