Ah the genius of cookie sticks! So versatile: you can dunk them into a delicious cookie dip, pack it as a lunch box treat or simply chomp on a couple as a midnight snack. Perfect with a glass of milk too. Simple to make and a perfect present for anyone. I love the endless variations this recipe offers. This is now become my go to recipe. The version I might be sharing with you today may be just a simple combination of white and semi sweet chocolate chips but I do have some suggestions on how you can take this up a notch:
Kitchen Tip: The batter might be more liquid than the regular drop cookies but don’t let that alarm you. It take shape within minutes of being in the oven. Also, remember not to spread it too thin but remember that you want to bake it on a cookie sheet which has room for it to spread and bake evenly.
I baked you two variations: The simpler one has an assortment of chocolate chips – white, semi sweet and peanut butter.
- ½ cup canola oil
- ½ cup sugar
- ½ cup packed brown sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup (6 ounces) semisweet chocolate chips
- In a large bowl, combine the oil, sugars, egg and vanilla. Combine the flour, baking soda and salt; gradually add to sugar mixture and mix well.
- Divide dough in half.
- On a greased baking sheet, shape each portion into a 15-in. x 3-in. rectangle about 3 in. apart. Sprinkle chocolate chips and nuts if desired over dough; press lightly.
- Bake at 375° for 6-7 minutes. (Bake for 8-9 minutes for crispier cookies.)
- Cool for 5 minutes. Cut with a serrated knife into 1-in. strips; remove to wire racks to cool.
But it is the second variation that is a personal favorite – Biscoff Kissed Cookie Sticks. I used 1/2 cup of biscoff spread in the batter and baked it plain. Only during the last 3-4 minutes, I used a few crushed dark chocolate kisses to top the batter. They tasted phenomenal.
- ½ cup canola oil
- ½ cup sugar
- ⅓ cup creamy biscoff spread
- ½ cup packed brown sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup crushed dark kisses candy
- Preheat the oven to 375F and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, combine the oil, biscoff spread, brown sugar, sugar, egg and vanilla.
- In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda and salt.
- Add the sugar mixture slowly to the flour mixture and mix well.
- Divide dough in half. Spread on a greased baking sheet, shape each portion into a 15-in. x 3-in. rectangle about 3 in. apart. Bake for 6-7 minutes. A minute before the cookies are done, spread the crushed dark kisses and press slightly.
- Cool for 5 minutes. Using a serrated knife cut into 1 inch strips.

How ingenius – the stick is perfect for dunking, I love it! Plus, biscoff…mmmm…
Love all the variations of these. I love the idea of sticks, cute and just a little twist on tradition!
These seem almost like biscotti but without the second bake, making them even easier to make than biscotti. That’s dangerous! :) O.K. – this is going in the cookie monster folder!
What a great idea! Almost like cookie biscotti :)
I love the assortment of chips you used. I can’t say no to any of them! Love this idea for a Christmas gift idea-lovely, An:)
Yum…I’ve never seen such a thing as a cookie stick but they look great…and as you say perfect for dunking! :-)
What perfect little holiday treats! Love all the variations you included, and the biscoff kissed ones have my name written all over them! :)
Easier to handle cookies? Sign me up! Happy day #1 An!
Cookie Sticks!?! Yes. These are SO awesome.
Cookie sticks or cookie crack? Either way, I’m all over them–I love how versatile they are! :)
Hey,
So simple yet unique! Can’t wait to try this piece of heaven!….however, we don’t get biscoff spread here. Do you think Nutella would work?
Cheers!
I would try using peanut butter instead of biscoff. :)
Yummy!!
the idea is GENIUS! Reminds me of a biscotti, but looks much softer and so yummy. Love your pics.
I’ve never had cookies sticks before but I would devour every single one of these! I think these might be more fun eating actual cookies :)
I am liking the slightly different post style- really cool and these cookie sticks have my name written all over them! i am in love
Awesome and tasty idea!
I love these. I’ve not done cookies in stick form like this. I need to try these asap.
