Peanut Butter Blossoms

December 12, 2022

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…

Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies

November 23, 2022

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, 2020

Last 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…

Monster Cookies

August 7, 2019

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, 2019

Now 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…

Oreo Cookie Dough Brownies

February 11, 2018

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, 2015

Oh 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…

Peanut Butter Monster Eye Cookies

October 28, 2015

I 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…

Zombie Cookies

October 27, 2014

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, 2014

These 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.…

Homemade Dog Cookies

December 20, 2013

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, 2013

Remember 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, 2012

What’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…
