A previous version of this post for Peanut Butter Blossoms was published in December 2012. We took new photos and adjusted the recipe. One of my favorite flavors, as you are well aware, is peanut butter. What better way to celebrate the holidays than to mix peanut butter and chocolate? These peanut butter blossoms are really easy to make *cue eye rolls* trust me, they are! Remember when I tried…
A previous version of this post for Chocolate Chip Cookies was published in June 2014. We took new photos and updated the recipe. Have you ever had some Pot Belly chocolate chip oatmeal cookies? Wow. Just wow. Soft, warm, and delicious. Not that our recipe would replace the real thing, I think I got this recipe close to Pot Belly’s. When we made our large chewy chocolate chip cookies, I thought they tasted…
Halloween Cookies 2020
October 21, 2020Last year, I showed off some great Halloween sugar cookies. This year, I wanted to get a little fancy and use some of the letter cookie cutters I purchased over the summer. I had much loftier goals in mind, but I’m really happy with how these Halloween cookies came out this year. The secret to a really good sugar cookie comes down two things. The first, the recipe. I’ve been…
This post on Monster Cookies was originally published in November 2013. Pictures and text have been updated. Whoa! These monster cookies are delicious. Basically, if Cookie Monster dreamed of a cookie that had everything he loved in one cookie, this would be it. I saw these monster cookies pop up numerous times on Pinterest. After scrolling by the fifth pin, I just clicked. Then I fell into a rabbit hole…
Almost Like Chip Chocolate Chip Cookies
March 13, 2019Now that we’ve had some time to breathe and explore our new neighborhood, we already have a few favorite spots. One of those being Chip – like everyone else around us. Chip makes only four cookie flavors daily and switches them up every day. We’ve had way too many cookies in the short time we’ve lived here. They are freakin’ delicious. Then I had a thought, “let’s try to recreate…
This post on Oreo Cookie Dough Brownies was originally published on July 10, 2012. Photos have been updated and we are no longer referring to these using a derogatory adjective. These Oreo Cookie Dough Brownies are so delicious! They combine everything I love: chocolate chip cookies, brownies, and Oreos. With the summer in full swing, I made this pick-me-up for my coworkers on Friday. So what makes this brownie so…
French Vanilla Chewy Double Chocolate Chip Cookies
December 16, 2015Oh my gosh. I can’t. I will never be able to eat another thing ever again. I’ve eaten too many of these delicious French vanilla chewy double chocolate chip cookies! These must be on your plate for Christmas; it’ll be the easiest way to get on Santa’s nice list. I made these earlier this week for a family dinner with my brother-in-law. They were a hit. I may have consumed…
When I was younger, I probably had one of the most basic taste pallets. My favorite ice cream flavor was vanilla (and so is my husband). I would take all the meat off my sandwiches to just eat the mayo and bread. Till this day, I wipe off 99% of the frosting off before I eat a cupcake. What can I say, I was and am still a simple person. My…
Peanut Butter Monster Eye Cookies
October 28, 2015I love adding a little spook to food around Halloween. This year, among many other delicious dishes, we made these peanut butter monster eye cookies. Aren’t they cute? These are so easy to make and don’t require anything special other than these candy monster eyes (found at Michaels). If you’re familiar with peanut butter blossoms, then you’ll know exactly how to make these cookies. Basically, you push the Hershey kisses…
Elf on the Shelf: Cookies for Breakfast
December 18, 2014Harvey, cookies are not for breakfast. But they are for Santa.…
Clearly a “nailed it” post. These were so cute. We saw a post on Not Quite Nigella for Voodoo Doll cookies and thought they were adorable. We used a sugar cookie mix to make these little Zombie cookies. Fatima did a great job with the decorations and improvised when we lost a few limbs. We had a few mummy cookies, mostly zombies, and human victims. When one of the cookies lost…
Monster Eye Cookies
October 27, 2014These were too cute. Wilton sells these adorable little edible eyes. So we made some sugar cookies, dyed the dough, baked, and then added the eyes (RIGHT AFTER THEY CAME OUT OF THE OVEN). While we loved our little monster eye cookies, we totally adore Lil’ Luna’s.…
At this point you’re probably sick and tired of my obsessions with M&Ms, cookie dough, Cookie Monster, frosting, and cookies in general. But how cute are these Cookie Monster Cupcakes!? If you made these for your kid’s birthday party, your little guests will be bouncing off the wall. So make sure you serve these right before they all go home, haha. These are simple to make. Just add some edible cookie dough…
It was Hayden’s Birthday yesterday and I can’t believe he’s already nine years old! Today, I made him some delicious (they smelled delicious) homemade dog cookies – I know I’m such a good brother. I saw this recipe on a towel in my neighbor’s kitchen with the heading “Healthy Dog Cookies” and decided to try them out. However, I swapped out cornmeal for another helping of rolled oats. Although, I…
Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies
July 31, 2013Remember that time we made chocolate chip cookies using a Pinterest tip telling us adding cornstarch would make them fluffy? Yes, it was an epic fail. However, on our second time around visiting the cornstarch theory, we’ve hit the jackpot. These are some delicious and chewy chocolate chip cookies I have ever had. These will ruin you; you’ll never want to make them any other way ever again. Think Mrs.…
Mint Chocolate Chip Cookies
December 20, 2012What’s more American than a Chocolate Chip Cookie? How about a Mint Chocolate Chip Cookie on Christmas? The chocolate chip cookie was a delicious accident. It was discovered in 1930 by Ruth Graves Wakefield, in Whitman, Massachusetts. Owner of the Toll House Inn, a popular restaurant that always supplied a good home cooked meal. Ruth’s cookbook, published in 1936, featured a recipe called “Toll House Chocolate Crunch Cookie,” and soon…
