If you know me, you already know I love trying out recipes that come with a little story behind them.

And when it comes to mixing music with baking, who better to inspire us than Taylor Swift?

That’s right—I recently discovered the famous Taylor Swift cookie recipe, and I just had to share it with you.

This isn’t your everyday chocolate chip cookie. Taylor actually shared her go-to cookie recipe years ago, and it quickly became a fan favorite.

It’s the perfect combination of chewy, sweet, and spiced with just enough warmth to make you want to eat them straight out of the oven.

Why Taylor’s Cookies Are So Special

What makes Taylor Swift’s cookies stand out is the addition of oats, cinnamon, and a touch of nutmeg.

They’re almost like a cozy hug in cookie form—soft in the center, with just the right amount of chewiness.

I love that they feel a little nostalgic, like the kind of cookie you’d want to snack on while listening to your favorite album on repeat.

Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients

1/2 cup 1 stick unsalted butter, at room temperature
1/2 cup vegetable oil I like canola or sunflower oil
1/2 cup 100 grams granulated sugar
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons ground ginger
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom
1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
Pinch of fresh cracked black pepper
1 large egg
2 teaspoons of vanilla extract or the seeds of 1 vanilla bean pod
2 cups 250 grams all-purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
Cinnamon sugar for rolling
1 1/2 cups 180 grams powdered sugar
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg plus more for sprinkling the top of the cookies
3 tablespoons whole milk or eggnog

Method

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line baking sheet with parchment paper.
Using a mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat the butter in a large bowl on medium speed for about 1 minute.
Add the vegetable oil. It may not fully incorporate with the butter, but that’s ok. Add the granulated sugar, powdered sugar, and all of the spices. Beat to combine.
Add the egg and vanilla, beating on medium speed until completely incorporated.
Stir in the flour, baking soda and salt all at once using a wooden spoon or the mixer set on low.
The dough will be soft. Refrigerate the dough for 1 hour or freeze for 15 minutes just so it’s easier to handle.
For large cookies, dollop 2 Tablespoons of cookie dough onto the cookie sheet about 2 inches apart.
For smaller cookies use 1 Tablespoon for each cookie. Press the dough evenly with your fingers or palm to 1/4-inch thickness. Roll each cookie dough in a small bowl of cinnamon sugar.
Bake for 12 to 14 minutes for larger cookies or 8 to 10 minutes for smaller cookies.
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for at least 10 minutes before transferring to racks to cool completely.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the glaze ingredients to thick but spreadable. Spread each cooled cookie with graze just over the center, leaving the edges of the cookie free of glaze.
Sprinkle with a bit of fresh nutmeg if you have it. Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days.

Notes

Chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking if you want thicker cookies.
Sprinkle a pinch of flaky sea salt on top for extra flavor.
Swap chocolate chips for chopped dark chocolate for a richer taste.

Honestly, I can see why Taylor loves these so much—they’re the kind of cookies you want to curl up with, maybe while rewatching her All Too Well short film or listening to your favorite tracks.

Tips for Making Them Extra Special

Chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking if you like thicker cookies.
Add a pinch of flaky sea salt on top right before baking for a sweet-salty combo.
Swap out the chocolate chips for chopped dark chocolate if you want a more gourmet flavor.

The Taylor Swift cookie recipe is a must-try for any baking fan—or any Swiftie who wants a sweet treat to go with their favorite playlist.

They’re cozy, flavorful, and easy to whip up with pantry staples. Trust me, once you bake them, you’ll keep coming back for more.
