It can be a pain when you pull up your favorite cookie recipe only to find that you need to wait hours to satisfy that sweet tooth. Today I'm sharing 20 easy, no chill cookie recipes for when you need a batch of cookies fast!

Chilling cookie dough

Many recipes call for a step of chilling cookie dough before baking. This step helps stabilize the dough by firming up the butter and hydrating the flour. This creates a chewier texture, allows the flavors to meld, and ensures the cookies don't spread too much in the oven.

No-chill cookie dough

Sometimes, a cookie dough is stable enough to go straight from the bowl to the oven. What's the difference between these recipes?

Some call for slightly more flour, adding the stability that chilling creates. Others include additional ingredients that add stability and structure, like oats, pumpkin puree, or peanut butter.

Follow the recipe

No matter the ingredients, it's always best to follow the recipe. If it calls for chilling, you must chill your dough for ideal results.

If you don't have time to chill your dough, use one of the recipes below! They've all been developed to not require a chill time.
