In round one of our favorite Super Bowl dishes, we talked about all things savory. We had chicken wings displayed beautifully on a charcuterie board, loaded tater tots on skewers, and a cheddar cheese and bacon onion jam situation. We don’t know about you but after filling up on savory foods, we need a little something sweet. If you’ve also got a sweet tooth that just can’t be pulled, here are our favorite Super Bowl sweets that are easy to make for a crowd and oh-so-satisfying.
No-Bake Cookies
No-bake cookies are nostalgic and that somehow makes them taste better. We don’t know, it’s science. And we can’t speak for your house, but no matter the size of the platter we have out, these are devoured in mere minutes. Check out this recipe from Delish.

Cookie Cake
Another classic cookie recipe that never disappoints. What’s not to love about a cookie cake? They’re easy to make, easy to divide up among a crowd, and you can decorate them any way you want meaning team colors for the Super Bowl of course! Check out this recipe from Preppy Kitchen.
Ingredients
- 1¾ cups all-purpose flour (210g)
- ¾ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup unsalted butter softened (113g)
- ¾ cup light brown sugar (165g)
- ¼ cup granulated sugar (50g)
- 1 large egg
- 2½ teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1½ cups semi-sweet chocolate chips plus more for sprinkling (270g)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350F. Butter or spray a 9-inch round cake pan with baking spray.
- In a medium bowl, sift together flour, baking soda, and salt.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat butter until smooth. Add sugars and beat on medium speed until smooth and well combined, about 2 minutes. (You don’t want to beat the mixture until very light and fluffy like you would for a cake because the air will make the cookie too crumbly and puffy.)
- Add the egg and vanilla. Beat until well combined, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed. While mixing on low speed, add the flour and beat just until combined. Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Press the cookie dough into an even layer in the prepared cake pan. Sprinkle with more chocolate chips if desired.
- Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until the cookie is lightly browned and appears dry on the surface. Let cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
