Simple Peanut Butter Cookies
Today is National Peanut Butter Cookie Day! Until I became a food blogger I had no idea that there were national food holidays like this. I’m sure I heard of a few of them, like doughnut day and such –Nate wouldn’t let me get any doughnuts last week But besides that I was clueless. So […]
Chocolate and Chocolate Chip Swirl Cookies
I loved these chocolate and peanut butter swirl cookies so much that when I was asked to bring cookies to a blogger picnic in the park, I knew that I needed to make another type of “swirl cookies”. Because I loved the swirled light and dark look, as one of the girls at the blogger picnic called […]
Chocolate Chip Recipe Round Up
May 15, 2013 is National Chocolate Chip Day – that’s today! Chocolate chips are one of my favorite things just to snack on, but they are also one of the best ingredients to add to any baked goodie; cookies, pancakes, muffins and more. In honor of National Chocolate Chip Day we are sharing 15 of […]
Chocolate Chip Shortbread Cookies
I’ve got another delicious cookie recipe for you today. A buttery flaky shortbread cookie with chocolate chips. Just so you know, short bread cookies aren’t my favorite type of cookie, they are good but most of the time I’d rather have a traditional soft and gooey chocolate chip cookie instead. But as far as short […]
Chocolate and Peanut Butter Swirl Cookies
So I am on week 10 of training for a half marathon. It’s funny because my mother in law was the one who said we should all train at the same time even if we couldn’t run it together (due to living in different states and such) but she injured her knee and hasn’t been […]
Applesauce Chocolate Chip Cookies
Do you ever feel bad eaten sweet upon sweet upon sweet, and think about how much butter and sugar you just added to your body? Maybe you don’t struggle with this problem as much as I do. But as someone who is addicted to candy and desserts sometimes I feel just a little guilty about […]
Chocolate Chip Cookies for Two
Sometimes Nate gets mad at me for making dessert recipes because I am usually pretty good at only eating 2 or so cookies at a time (I count my calories everyday, so I can still get my sweet fix without blowing my calories for the day) but that leaves a bunch more cookies to be eaten. […]
Copy Cat Samoas – Girl Scout Cookies
When I was a little girl, I think maybe 5 or 6 (or maybe even 7 or 8) I was in Girl Scouts. I was in the program with one of my best friends, and I don’t remember who the other girls were. We were first “daisies” and then “brownies” and I’m not sure why […]
Butterscotch Bars
I think everyone likes the holiday season for different reasons. Of course we like spending time with family, giving and receiving presents, thinking of Christ, and probably many more wonderful things. But one thing I really love about this season is giving out treats to the neighbors. I still haven’t found something that is “mine”, […]
Peppermint Christmas Cookies
This recipe can only be made with Christmas music playing in the background, the whole mood needs to be set. While baking these cookies I not only dreamed of a “White Christmas” but of the day when I can bake cookies with my dear little granddaughter. She would be the best helper I am sure; […]
Sugar Cookies
This is a recipe that I got from my mother in law, Sandi. My husband grew up with these cookies, for holidays, random events, etc. And this year for an early Christmas gift, my mother gave us holiday cookie cutters. And it made me wonder, why can’t we use cookie cutters for other types of […]
Jungle Cookies (Cranraisin Macademia Nut White Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies)
So Aimee will continue to give you the healthy food and I will post the sweets, or it seems so. I feel like all I make any more is cookies, cake, candy, etc. I do actually cook something healthy every once in a while, it is just that I have had a lot of activities […]
Peanut Butter Nutella Stuffed Cookies
A little over four years ago, I was given the opportunity of an experience of a lifetime. I was privileged enough to be able to spend four months of my life calling Vienna, Austria home. I won’t go into the details here, as I’ve written about my experiences on a few previous occasions and don’t want to […]
Chocolate Chip Pudding Cookies
I’ve had a couple of failures in the past when making chocolate chip cookies. Shouldn’t chocolate chip cookies be one of the easiest things to make? But no, baking with butter vs shortening makes a huge difference, and halving or doubling a recipe doesn’t always work. But, I got this recipe to work. Hooray. I […]
White Chocolate, Macadamia Nut, and Cranberry Cookies
Are any of you teachers? As a teacher, it is your responsibility to keep classroom discipline. Different teachers choose to discipline their students in different ways. I’m not a normal teacher, I don’t teach children, I don’t teach all subjects. I don’t have classes of 25 students. I don’t have teach Monday through Friday, 7:30 […]
Pineapple Coconut Cookies
I posted this recipe a while back, but finally made these delicious cookies again, and with pictures this time. April 27th, 2012 Aug 1, 2010: Nate has been telling me about how good these cookies are since we first started dating. His mom finally sent us the recipe, so we decided to try it out. […]
