In this edition of 'Snack Bracket', Bon Appétit star Chris Morocco is joined by a very special guest, 'Sesame Street’s' Cookie Monster. Together, Cookie Monster and Chris will pit 8 classic cookies against each other in a single elimination bracket to determine—once and for all—the absolute best biscuity treat.
We challenged resident Bon Appétit supertaster Chris Morocco to recreate Christina Tosi of Milk Bar's Compost Cookies in the Bon Appétit Test Kitchen. The catch? He'll have to identify what he's making with a blindfold over his eyes, letting each of his other senses guide the way. Will Chris be able to reproduce these famous cookies without being able to see them?
Join Hana Asbrink, Kendra Vaculin, Shilpa Uskokovic, Rachel Gurjar, Zaynab Issa, and Chris Morocco in the Bon Appétit Test Kitchen as they each make their all-time favorite cookies.

Join Chris Morocco in the Bon Appétit Test Kitchen as he makes chocolate chip cookies. The addition of browned butter really puts these cookies over the top, making them crispy-edged and chewy-centered while still rooted in classic cookie flavor. Oh, and no mixer required—so there’s no excuse not to make them.
“We make about 13 to 14,000 cookies every week. For wholesale it's about 28,000 items weekly. We can get all of these things done with planning, a great team, and really big mixers.” Bon Appetit spends a day on the line with Brianna Fortiz, pastry chef at The Good Batch in Brooklyn, a small bakery that also operates as a mini factory for 200 wholesale clients in New York.
Join Claire Saffitz in the Bon Appétit Test Kitchen as she attempts to make gourmet Thin Mints, Samoas and Tagalongs. That's right, Claire's making Girl Scout Cookies. Did you know the Girl Scouts started selling cookies back in 1917? But it wasn't until 1951 that the Thin Mint, the cookie most synonymous with the Girl Scouts, was introduced and swept the country like a tidal wave. And now here we are, in the Test Kitchen, watching Claire make them herself.

One Girl Cookies is known for making a variety of sweet treats like cookies, cakes and bars, but today Bon Appétit’s Alison Roman is interested in one thing: whoopie pie. Owners Dawn Casale and Dave Crofton show her how to make their soft and creamy chocolate whoopie pie.
With only four ingredients (cashews, dates, chocolate chips, and sea salt), the LÄRABAR Original Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough is something you can feel good about packing for your day of scaling rock faces and climbing to your next peak.
Join Rick Martinez in the Bon Appétit Test Kitchen as he makes tie-dye swirl holiday cookies. The butter cookie that acts as your canvas is extremely simple to make (like, six ingredients simple), so you can spend most of your time on the fun part: unleashing your inner artiste. When you’re decorating, no need to panic if your first attempts don’t work out. Simply wipe off the failed glaze, let the cookie dry for about five minutes, and try again.
We had a panel of kids try popular Christmas desserts of the past century, from mincemeat pie in the 1920s to California Waldorf Salad (with sweet onion dip!) in the 1970s.
Move over chocolate chip, there’s a new treat in town. This festive take on shortbread is not your average holiday cookie. It seamlessly straddles sweet and savory with its pistachio cookie base and 60% dark chocolate topping (with a sprinkling of crunchy nuts, of course). Let the dishes do the rest and serve them on Lenox Blue Bay pieces, an easy-to-mix-and-match collection with microwave-safe gold trim, for a fun, festive finish.
Kendra Vaculin spent days in the Bon Appétit Test Kitchen making tray after tray of lemon bars to develop her perfect recipe. Watch as she experiments with every variable to arrive at the ultimate lemon bar—from the ideal crust to the perfect consistency—before publishing it for Bon Appétit.
