April’s Best Cookie Recipes – Easy, Fun, and Full of Flavor

April’s Cookie Recap – What Everyone Was Baking

Fat & Weird Cookie dropped five big cookie stories last month. Some were rich, some went viral, and one was spicy and strange (in a good way). Here’s a quick guide to all of them.

$5 vs. $50 Cookie – Worth the Price?

• $5 Cookie: Uses Crisco, regular sugar, and basic chocolate chips. Easy and cheap.

• $50 Cookie: Made with fancy ghee, quail eggs, and expensive Valrhona chocolate. Rich, chewy, and packed with flavor.

Our Take: The $5 cookie is great for every day. The $50 cookie is special – perfect for impressing someone.

Mama Jean vs. Martha Stewart Fired Me – Cookie Battle

• Mama Jean’s Cookie: A classic family recipe with browned butter and semi-sweet chips. Soft and chewy.

• Martha Stewart Fired Me Cookie: A viral recipe using three sugars, lots of chocolate, and flaky salt.

Winner: Mama Jean’s cookie. It’s simple, rich, and tastes like home.

Gochujang Caramel Cookie – Sweet + Spicy Combo

This one’s different. It mixes buttery cookie dough with spicy Korean gochujang and caramel.

• Soft and chewy
