I took this as a 24 day challenge, ha, and have 5 left to make at the moment. Found your incredible “24 in one day” take on this challenge, while searching to find the NYT the list from 2020! Because now I’m hooked and I’m not sure if I can wait until Dec 1, 2022 to start another NYT cookie challenge. Good thing I do a yoga challenge in January. 😉
To list my favorites – the chocolate-cherry ginger cookies were phenomenal, as were the brown butter toffee sandwiches. The lime-mint bars were a hit with the kids but I had trouble getting them to set in my southern humidity. The iced oatmeal cookie and peanut butter cookie recipes have now nudged my prior “classic” recipes aside, as they were also way better than what I typically made. Chocolate rugelach, the Italian rainbow cookies and the gingerbread biscotti may also make my future holiday baking lists because they were great tasting and made for very pretty cookie boxes to give away. 🙂

As I said on Instagram.. mind blown! I want to know how you manage the dishes in that time? Do you have someone washing while you bake? Otherwise I don’t know how you could have enough bowls, beaters, measuring cups & spoons, etc. to make this happen with those short turnaround times in between?

Hi Amy! I’ve been following you silently for a while but somehow this challenge is what made me finally leave a comment! One word: impressive! I am pretty sure I am not going to take up this challenge what with being a (relatively) new mom and not getting enough sleep already. But reading this was fun! Are there any gluten-free cookies that you’d recommend?

I get tired after baking one batch of cookies this is incredible and I admire your passion and all the effort that goes into your work.
