Sounds like you’ve got one of those recipes 😄 — the kind you make “just once more” and suddenly the oven’s always on.
If you’re talking about cookies you can’t stop baking, here are the usual culprits and how people end up obsessed with them:

Brown butter + extra egg yolk is the secret

3. Crinkle Cookies

Fudgy centers, crackly tops

Roll → bake → inhale
4. Cinnamon Sugar Cookies (Snickerdoodle-Style)
-
Warm spice + soft chew
-
Smell alone makes you bake another tray
5. Brown Butter Shortbread Cookies

Simple ingredients, unreal flavor

🍫 Want the Ultimate “Addictive” Cookie Recipe?
Here’s a no-fail, bakery-style cookie formula that people swear they can’t stop making:
Base Cookie Formula
-
1 cup butter (browned if you want next-level flavor)
-
¾ cup brown sugar + ¼ cup white sugar
-
1 egg + 1 egg yolk
-
1½ tsp vanilla
-
2¼ cups flour
-
½ tsp baking soda
-

😏 Dangerous Tip
Freeze dough balls and bake 2–3 at a time.
That way you “just bake a few”… over and over again.
