There's nothing quite like whipping up a batch of cookies and biting into one while it's still deliciously soft right out of the oven. These soft cookie recipes recreate that texture by being extra tender and pillowy, just like you'd get at your local bakery. Stick with classics like soft chocolate chip or oatmeal, or branch out into honey-walnut or pineapple cookies. No matter which soft cookies you go with, you'll be making a sweet choice.
