Oven Recipes- Cooking in an oven is not as intimidating as it may seem. Yes, it’s a bit tricky but not if you get to know your oven. There’s a lot that your oven can do for you and so it deserves more attention. It can make crisp cookies, turn your meat tender or simply cook a healthy dinner. Who doesn’t love a house filled with the smoky aroma of cinnamon or herbs arising from goodies fresh out of the oven? If you’ve not had one, we’ll tell you how to have a healthy relationship with your oven.
Here are few basic things to keep in mind while using an oven.
1. Most ovens come with different metal racks. Use the one according to the dish you are cooking and remove the others. Make sure your oven is clean and does not sneakily hide any burnt leftovers from its last use.
2. Temperature is important – both while pre-heating and while cooking. Usually, the oven is pre-heated to its maximum temperature. Also, make sure you don’t oven the oven frequently with the dish inside as it causes the heat to escape and that will increase the cooking time.
3. Keep in mind that hot air or heat rises up. Therefore, if you want to cook something slowly, play it in the bottom tray. On the other hand, if you’re looking for a crisp surface then place your dish on the top tray. In most baking and roasting recipes, it is best to use the middle rack as the heat remains consistent there.
4. Avoid using dark-coloured metal bake ware as it absorbs more heat and the chances of charring your food are higher. Light-coloured metal, glass, cast-iron or silicone works well as they help in transmitting the heat equally and prevent the risk of burning the bottom. If you’re using a dark-coloured metal utensil make sure you place it on the upper most rack so that there is some distance between the heating rod and the dish.
5. Make sure you don’t place anything over the oven while it is in use. Also, make a point to check that the vents on either side are clear and there’s nothing placed over because you don’t want to fire up an entire oven. Definitely not! Make sure you are armed with the right oven accessories and equipment such as a baking sheet and oven mitt.
For now, if you’re looking to experiment, get your hands on our 11 best oven recipes.

Over the years I’ve been working to perfect this little Toaster Oven Chocolate Chip Cookies recipe.
Trying different amounts of sugar and butter, experimenting with the egg, and figuring out the best way to bake them in our toaster oven (if you’ve got a convection fan, use it!).
The result: 5 seriously yummy chocolate chip cookies. They’re crispy on the outside, stuffed with gooey melted chocolate, and have a delightfully chewy texture. Bookmark this recipe because you’re going to want to make it a lot!
Ingredient Notes
1 Tablespoon Beaten Egg: Don’t add the whole egg, it’s too much for a recipe this small. If you’re looking for ideas to use up any leftover egg try these Cake Mix Mini Cakes, Triple Ginger Cookies, or Chocolate Chip Pecan Oatmeal Cookies.
We’ve also made this recipe using an egg yolk instead of the beaten egg.
I find the cookies a little heavy but Tim thinks they’re delicious. So if you’ve got an egg yolk that needs to be used up, give it a try and see what you prefer.
How to Make Chocolate Chip Cookies In A Toaster Oven
1. Cream the Butter and Sugars
Start by creaming the softened butter and sugars together until smooth. Then add the tablespoon of beaten egg and vanilla, and mix until combined.
2. Mix The Dough
Sprinkle the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt over the egg mixture. Stir just until the dough starts to come together.
When a few streaks of flour remain, set aside a few chocolate chips for topping later and toss the rest into the bowl.
This is a good time to stir in anything else you’d like to add like chopped nuts, sprinkles, or dried fruits. Mix just until everything is incorporated into the cookie dough.
3. Chill For Better Flavor
Next, chill the dough for at least 30 minutes. Chilling the dough makes the cookies chewier, and more flavorful, and keeps them from spreading too much.
4. Preheat The Toaster Oven
Once you’re ready to bake the cookies, start by adjusting the rack in your toaster oven. Our oven has 3 rack placements.
I find the middle rack is the best for baking cookies. If you only have two placements, use the lower one.
For a standard toaster oven preheat to 350°F. If you’re using a convection toaster oven, reduce the temperature to 325°F.
5. Grab A Pan
The cookies can be baked on either an ungreased sheet pan or a pan lined with a silicone baking mat.
6. Get Scooping
Scoop or roll the dough into 1½ Tablespoons-sized balls and place on your pan. Try to give at least 1 ½ to 2 inches of space between the balls.
7. Bake Until Golden
Bake the cookies for about 6 to 10 minutes. We like our cookies to have chewy middles but nice and crispy edges so I wait until the edges are lightly browned and the middles are puffed and just a tiny bit underbaked.
Once the cookies are baked to your liking, remove them from the oven.
Quickly press any reserved chocolate chips into the tops. Sometimes I’ll also sprinkle them with coarse sea salt.
Let the cookies cool on the pan for 5 minutes (or 10 minutes if you’re using a flax egg). Then use a spatula to transfer them to a rack to cool them completely.
Now, grab a cold glass of milk and dig in!
Is There A Way to Make Them Without The Egg?
Yes! You can substitute a small flax egg.
- Mix together 1 teaspoon of flax meal and 1 tablespoon water.
- Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes to thicken.
- Give the mixture a stir and add it to the recipe where the beaten egg is called for.
The baked cookies will be a little flatter and crispier on the edges. They’re also very delicate straight out of the oven. So I like to let them cool for longer on the pan (about 10 minutes) before moving them to a rack to cool completely.
Toaster Oven Baking Tips
Baking Times: The chilled cookie dough usually takes 7 minutes in our larger countertop oven but takes more like 9 to 10 minutes in our tiny 4-slice toaster oven.
Over the years I’ve learned that every oven (or toaster oven) bakes differently. My favorite way to figure out the best baking time for any recipe is to bake a test cookie, you can find step-by-step directions in this Cookie Baking Tips post.
Convection: If you’re using a convection toaster oven, reduce the temperature to 325°F and start checking on your cookies after 5 or 6 minutes.
Store-bought Cookie Dough Convection Tests
Cookies are my favorite thing to bake with the convection option on our countertop oven. They come out with nice crispy edges and soft under-baked middles.
Avoid Dark Pans: Most toaster ovens come with a dark roasting pan that’s not great for baking cookies with.
That’s because the darker metal can burn the bottoms of the cookies. Instead, we like to use a light-colored pan like one of these toaster oven sheet pans.
Lining The Pan: Since parchment paper is one of those things you shouldn’t put in your toaster oven, we like to use a small silicone baking mat.
These cookies can also be baked on an ungreased sheet pan. If you go this route, you may need to bake them in a few batches to give the cookies enough space.

- When ready to bake, adjust your toaster oven cooking rack to the middle position and preheat to 350°F using the BAKE setting. If using a convection toaster oven, reduce the temperature to 325°F.
- Line a quarter sheet pan with a silicone baking mat or leave it ungreased.
- Roll or scoop the dough into 1½ tablespoons sized balls and place on the prepared pan, arranging them at least 2-inches apart.
- Let the cookies sit on the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a rack to cool completely.
Beaten Egg – To measure the beaten egg, crack an egg into a bowl and beat with a fork until the white and yolk are combined. Measure out 1 tablespoon. Refrigerate leftover egg and use it within 24 hours.
Egg Yolk – A large egg yolk can be substituted for the beaten egg.
Flax Egg Option – Combine 1 teaspoon of flax meal with 1 tablespoon of water. Allow the mixture to sit for 5 minutes. Add to the recipe when the beaten egg is called for. The cookies will be more delicate when warm, let them cool on the pan for at least 10 minutes.
Flour – We’ve had success substituting an equal amount of white whole wheat flour and bread flour for the all-purpose flour. The bread flour results in a thicker and chewier cookie. The cookies made with white whole wheat flour were also thicker with a light nutty flavor.
Chocolate – You can use chips, chunks, or add some of your favorite bar of chocolate roughly chopped. We like semi-sweet chocolate but feel free to substitute milk chocolate or dark chocolate if you want. Coated chocolate candies are a great option too!
Storage – You can store any leftover cookies in a covered container on the counter for 2 days. Or freeze for up to 1 month for the best flavor.
Rewarming Cookies in the Microwave – Place on a microwave-safe plate and heat for 15 to 20 seconds.
Rewarming Cooking in the Toaster Oven – If frozen, let cookies thaw on the counter for 15 to 20 minutes. Then set your toaster oven to 300°F on the BAKE setting. Place cookies on an ungreased sheet pan and add to the toaster oven. Press start (no need to preheat). The cookies should be warmed with melty chocolate in about 2 to 4 minutes.

Making bakery-worthy chocolate chip cookies is much easier than it seems. You’ll find a detailed ingredient list and step-by-step instructions in the recipe below, but let’s go over the basics:
Chocolate Chip Cookies Ingredients
These are the kitchen staples you’ll need to make the best chocolate chip cookies of your life:
· Butter: This classic chocolate chip cookie recipe starts with two sticks of butter creamed with white and brown sugars. The blend of sugars creates a perfectly balanced flavor.· Eggs: Eggs add moisture and act as a binding agent, which means they help hold the dough together.· Vanilla: Vanilla extract enhances the overall flavor of the chocolate chip cookies.· Baking soda: Baking soda acts as a leavener, which means it helps the cookies rise.· Water: A bit of hot water creates steam as it bakes, working with the baking soda to puff the cookies up.· Salt: A pinch of salt enhances the flavors of the other ingredients, but it won’t make the cookies taste salty.· Flour: All-purpose flour helps create gluten, which adds structure to the cookie dough.· Chocolate chips: Of course, you’ll need semisweet chocolate chips! You can use dark or milk chocolate chips if you prefer.· Nuts (optional): Walnuts are optional, but they add nutty flavor and a welcome crunch.

How to Make Homemade Chocolate Chip Cookies Step-By-Step
Here’s a very brief overview of what you can expect when you make chocolate chip cookies from-scratch:
1. Beat the butter and sugars, then beat in the eggs and vanilla.2. Dissolve the baking soda in hot water and add to the mixture.3. Stir in the flour, chocolate chips, and walnuts.4. Drop dough onto a prepared baking sheet.5. Bake until the edges are golden brown.
How Long to Bake Chocolate Chip Cookies
In an oven preheated to 350 degrees F, the chocolate chip cookies should be perfectly baked in about 10 minutes. The edges should be golden brown and the cookies should be mostly set (they’ll continue to set as the cool).
How Long Do Chocolate Chip Cookies Last?
Store the cooled chocolate chip cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. If you want to go the extra mile, throw a piece of white bread into the container — it’ll absorb the dry air and keep the cookies soft for longer.
Can You Freeze Chocolate Chip Cookies
Yes! You can freeze baked chocolate chip cookies and chocolate chip cookie dough.
· To freeze baked cookies: Allow the baked cookies to cool completely. Arrange them in a single layer on a baking sheet, cover, and freeze for about three hours or up to overnight. Transfer the now-frozen cookies to a zip-top bag or freezer-safe container. Wrap in at least one layer of foil for extra protection. Freeze for up to two months.· To freeze cookie dough: Drop balls of dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Cover and freeze for about three hours or up to overnight. Transfer the frozen cookies to a zip-top bag or freezer-safe container. Wrap in at least one layer of foil for extra protection. Freeze for up to two months.
Allrecipes Community Tips and Praise
“This has been my go-to chocolate chip cookie recipe since I found it on Allrecipes several years ago,” says GCKJA. “The recipe is not the ‘back of the bag’ recipe, with different ratios of all ingredients and that’s what makes these cookies so darned good!”
“By far my favorite chocolate chip cookie recipe,” raves Sonja Ellingson. “Exactly the way I like them. Chewy, crispy and thin. I added some toffee chips in the second batch and they were over the top good!”
“My go-to recipe,” says Andrea Howard. “I sometimes add oatmeal, nuts, raisins, etc. but they are also fantastic without. Crunchy and chewy in every bite!”

Easy Baking Recipes & Homemade Treats
Do you love peanut butter? If so, you’ve just found the perfect recipe.
These sweet and chewy bars are packed with creamy peanut butter, peanut butter chips, and quick oats.
But it get’s better! There’s also layer of peanut butter fudge swirled in the center. Mind-blown.
Perfect for family get-togethers, holidays, and potlucks.
Paula Deen’s Peach Cobbler
Queen Paula knows her southern comfort food better than anyone.
I particularly love this recipe because it’s just so easy.
Juicy, fresh peaches baked under a bubbly, golden crust – what could be better?
Serve with a scoop of ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for the perfect summer treat.
Easy Focaccia Bread
Focaccia is one of those breads that I just can’t get enough of.
I like to top mine with good olive oil, red onions, and a little cheese for a simple and tasty side.
But I’ve also been known to go all-out with sun-dried tomatoes, olives, chicken, and prosciutto.
Focaccia is the best beginner bread because there’s no real shaping involved.
After a fast mix with a spoon, it needs a couple of rest periods before being pressed into a baking tray.
Don’t be shy with the oil and always sprinkle with good quality sea salt.
Chocolate Brownies
When it comes to baking recipes, brownies are at the top of my list!
With just 7 ingredients, it’s the perfect recipe to make with kids.
Just throw all the ingredients into a bowl, blend until smooth, then bake and enjoy!
Deliciously Moist Banana Bread
Banana bread is one of those classic comfort foods that everyone seems to love. And for good reason – it’s moist, fluffy, and packed with flavor.
It’s perfect for breakfast, snack time, or even dessert!
Spread some butter on top, pour a cup of coffee, and you’ll have the perfect weekend treat.
Apple Pandowdy
This cobbler-like apple dessert comes from the Pennsylvania Dutch and has a few variations.
Some recipes will have a layer of spiced apples under a puff pastry layer or torn pastry pieces.
This recipe uses a pastry dough that gets dolloped over the fruit for a biscuit-pastry hybrid.
If you like the flavor of pastry but hate to roll it out, this is for you!
Cranberry Pudding Cake with Warm Butter Sauce
This moist, tart cake is loaded with cranberries and orange zest.
It makes for a wonderfully festive cake that is a little lighter than all those cinnamon treats we’ve been devouring.
But the star has to be the sauce!
Served warm, this buttery, creamy sauce would honestly make any cake pop, and you’ll probably want to make double.
Cheddar Cheese Scones
I’ve talked about my love of scones before, though it’s usually when they’re covered in strawberry jam and clotted cream.
These cheddar scones are an amazing alternative, and when served warm with plenty of butter, they make an incredible breakfast option.
Be sure to use mature cheddar for these, so you get a really cheesy flavor boost.
Or maybe a combination of cheeses, such as Gruyere and parmesan?
Louisiana Crunch Cake
If you’ve made a bundt cake before, you know they are easy to overbake.
This recipe uses sour cream and buttermilk to keep it moist. And the key is to not over-mix the batter.
Before you add the batter to the tin, this cake gets a sugary coconut top that will caramelize and toast up during the bake.
When you turn the cake out, the crunchy top is all you need, though the glaze is pretty delicious!
Pistachio Oat Squares
I know they can be a little expensive, but I’m a sucker for that green color!
Roasted, salted, with sweet chili, or just plain, I have a weakness for pistachios.
This recipe makes such a fantastic granola bar, combining pistachios with oats and coconut.
The simple recipe is perfect as is, but you could always throw in some extra dried fruits to bulk it out if you want.
This blueberry lemon coffee cake is a winner any time of the day.
The cake comes together much like any other, with lemon zest and blueberries folded through the batter.
I like to add extra blueberries to the top, which will sink into the cake during the bake.
The streusel top is the best part, though, and makes it totally acceptable for breakfast.
Kitchen Sink Cookies
I’m a firm believer that chocolate chip cookies are basically perfect, but my mind was blown the first time I tried these cookies.
Thick, chewy, and loaded with chocolate, pretzels, and toffee bits, they are the perfect salty-sweet treat.
I especially love the combination of semi-sweet and milk chocolate, though I wonder how amazing they would be with white chocolate!
Crescent Rolls (Amish Butterhorn Rolls)
But since we’ve all been stuck at home trying new things, why not give these homemade crescent rolls a go?
You can make them up the night before and keep in the fridge until morning, or spend a couple of hours before dinner.
Either way, you’ll feel such accomplishment and might not want to turn to the tube again.
Portillo’s Chocolate Cake Recipe
There are plenty of decadent and fancy desserts out there.
But is there really anything better than chocolate cake?
This insanely easy cake uses a boxed mix and just a handful of ingredients, and it will give you perfection every time.
Nutella Filled Hand Pies Recipe
My only issue with hand pies is having to let them cool down enough to bite into!
With store-bought pie crust, you can have a batch of these babies ready to go in under 30 minutes.
The trick to keeping these from becoming a mess is to freeze them for around 20 minutes before baking.
It will stop the Nutella from melting too quickly and let the pastry turn golden.
Spaghetti Pie
From the first time I saw this spaghetti pie, I knew I had to try it.
It’s whimsical, unnecessary, and absolutely worth your time.
Cutting into it and pulling a perfect slice with a big pull of melted cheese will bring a smile to your face every time!
I love the marinara and beef filling, but you could use any pasta sauce you prefer.
I’ve even used chicken carbonara and topped it with bread crumbs and extra cheese.
Best Ever One Bowl Chocolate Cake
Looking for baking recipes that you can prep in 10 minutes or less? This simple recipe is sure to impress.
As far as homemade chocolate cakes go, this one is at the top of the list.
Serve with a scoop of ice cream for a truly decadent treat.
The BEST Easy Seven Layer Cookie Bars Recipe
There’s a reason they call these Magic Bars!
Using just seven ingredients, you’ll be making a cookie bar that is chewy, sticky, sweet, and incredibly moreish.
The best part? It takes just five minutes to have everything ready to bake!
Bisquick Peanut Butter Cookies
If there’s one thing we all have in the pantry, it’s a jar of peanut butter.
But sometimes, you’re low on sugar, eggs, or flour just as the mood to bake cookies strikes.
These cookies are soft, moist, super flavorful, and made with just peanut butter, Bisquick, condensed milk, and vanilla.
If you have chocolate to add in, go for it. But they’re pretty amazing on their own.
Strawberry Cobbler Recipe
Strawberry cobbler is often overshadowed by peach or apple, but you should really give it a fair shot.
Not only is it beautifully vibrant, but the sweet juicy strawberries also make the perfect base for the cobbler topping.
Not only that, they work well with everything from blueberries to rhubarb.
The Easiest Lasagna Recipe Ever
I can’t be the only one that craves mom’s lasagna?
Somehow mine never tastes quite the same, so I had to find something just as good that is nice and easy.
No time to make a marinara sauce? Grab a jar!
Don’t want to cook the pasta sheets? There’s no need!
You can even use pre-shredded cheese.
Cracker Barrel Coca-Cola Cake (Copycat Recipe)
In the same way that coffee can enhance chocolate, the deep caramel notes of Coca-Cola can do the same thing.
Found in both the batter and the frosting, your guests won’t be able to put their finger on what’s so great about this cake, but they’ll know it’s something special.
Warming the cocoa with the cola activates the rich flavors just right and creates a moist, fudgy chocolate cake that you’ll want to make at least once a month.
Broccoli & Cheese Hand Pies
Known as ‘pasties’ in the UK, hand pies can be filled with anything you like.
The Brits are known for their Cornish pasties, but you can often find chicken, beef, and lamb in most bakeries throughout the country.
Be sure to soften your vegetables so that once baked. You’ll get just the right texture in every bite.
Easy Oatmeal Cookies
Oatmeal cookies get such a bad rap, and I think it has a lot to do with their regular filling.
Listen, I love dried fruit and raisins as much as the next gal, and I will throw in all kinds of fruits and citrus to my cakes.
But cookies are an indulgence. Cookies need chocolate!
These are perfectly chewy like you want from chocolate chip cookies. But they also have a great texture from the oats that is something special.
Sprinkle with a little sea salt, and you’ll have a batch of great cookies in just 10 minutes.
White Chocolate Macadamia Nut Cookies
A match made in heaven, the only nuts I like even more with white chocolate are pistachios.
I like to use way more brown sugar than white for these babies to give a caramel flavor and ultra-chewy cookie.
When buying white chocolate, be sure to get cook quality chocolate, as cheaper white chocolate will often burn and split when heated.
Frosted Cranberry Cookies
We’re all drawn to colors, and these cookies are beautiful.
As much as I love simple sugar cookies, I can’t get enough of these vibrant cookies topped with sugared cranberries.
With cranberry in the dough, too, they are not overly sweet, though the glaze makes up for it!
I like to chop my cranberries small and coat them with sugar to make them look like crystal sprinkles.
To Die For Blueberry Muffins
Looking for the best blueberry muffins? Save this recipe and thank me later.
These muffins are crazy delicious! They’re soft, fluffy, and bursting with fresh blueberries.
But my favorite part is the sugar-cinnamon streusel crumble.
That buttery, crumbly topping makes for a decadent treat.
Chocolate Chip Muffins
Nothing beats a warm chocolate chip muffin right out of the oven. Ooey, gooey and simply irresistible.
They’re soft, fluffy and packed with chocolatey goodness. Plus, they’re super easy to make – no fancy baking skills required!
Tastykake Tandy Cake (Copycat)
This classic Tastykake is the stuff of dreams.
It is simple and delicious with a light and buttery yellow cake topped with a thick layer of peanut butter and chocolate.
Let each layer chill entirely before adding the next, and don’t be afraid to over-do it with the peanut butter. How much is too much, anyway?
Pecan Pie Bars
Pecan pie will always be a favorite. A buttery pastry with an indulgently sweet and sticky filling? I’ll just take a fork and the dish, please!
These bars are everything you love about pecan pie, turned into an easy to pick up treat that travels well.
If serving at home, why not go all-out and drizzle with some bourbon salted caramel?
Popeye’s Biscuits Copycat Recipe
I think we’re all craving familiar favorites after the year we’ve had, and sometimes all you can do is make them yourself!
And people LOVE Popeye’s Biscuits.
Be sure to use cold butter in the dough and don’t skip the folds. It’s how they get those glorious flakes.
Savoury Cheese Muffins
If you thought the cheese scones sounded good, wait until you try these!
The garlic and cheese butter is out of this world and coats each muffin in a golden crust that is jam-packed with flavor.
Try not to over-mix the batter and don’t be shy with the butter before baking.
Though they’re amazing as is, you can also add to them with jalapeno and bacon. Mmm!
