Another year’s end, another year-end list: These are the recipes our reporters and editors turned to again and again.

Year-end lists are somewhat daunting to put together. By December, who even remembers what happened in January? But they’re a chance to look back, to remember the days, months and meals of our recent pasts. Below, our staff members reflect on their most memorable tastes of 2022: some surprising savory recipes, some sweet standbys — all so good they had to be shared.

1. Chocolate Chip Cookies

I probably make a batch of these Jacques Torres chocolate chip cookies every month or so. It is THE BEST chocolate chip cookie recipe — crisp exterior, gooey interior — and having a batch of homemade cookies on hand offsets the fact (in my mind anyway) that I feed my family frozen chicken tenders and crinkle fries on the regular. I use half milk chocolate and half bittersweet chocolate chips, and I like to add ¼ cup of cacao nibs for crunch. MARGAUX LASKEY
