There are so many different kinds of Christmas and holiday cookies but these caramel chocolate snowball cookies might become a new favorite for you. Different cultures, different regions, and different tastes dictate what we eat growing up. Then most of us as we age and start our own traditions choose our favorites and add new…
Most people have a nostalgic cookie when they think of Christmas cookies. Maybe it’s sugar cookies that were decorated for Santa, maybe it’s something like Buckeye balls. For me, it’s mint chocolate chip cookies. My mom loves mint chocolate and would always make two batches, one of regular chocolate chip and one of mint chocolate…
Maple pecan cookies came to my brain (as a flavor combo), in the ice cream aisle. I usually just get vanilla ice cream, but I love maple flavored things and I am always pro-nuts in baked goods. My Maple Shortbread Cookies are one of my favorite cookies I’ve created, so I wanted to make another…
I love cookies. I don’t think they are my favorite dessert- it’s too hard to choose. But cookies are up there. There are millions of flavors and they are pretty simple to bake. Now, there’s only one thing that can make cookies easier. Baking them into a bar so you don’t have to scoop them….
Peanut butter and jelly has to be almost every child’s first sandwich. Probably most kids’ sandwich of choice through childhood. Not me, I was weird and only wanted peanut butter sandwiches and then had a weird phase of bologna?? I don’t know. But, I get the appeal! Peanut butter is salty and sweet, and paired…
I’d say oatmeal raisin or oatmeal chocolate chip are your standard oatmeal based cookies. I have made peanut butter oatmeal cookies and thought they were uber delicious as well. When the jar of almond butter sitting in my pantry was calling to me, it occurred to me to sub it in for peanut butter and…
Growing up I thought biscotti were some sort of fancy toast for drinking coffee. I didn’t learn until much later they are actually a cookie, even though they don’t really look like a traditional cookie. However, in Italian biscotti actually means cookies. If you break the word down further, it comes from the Latin word…
Sesame seeds are probably not the first thing you’d think to put in your cookies but I’m here to tell you why you’re wrong and why it’s a great idea. These black sesame white chocolate cookies first, are beautiful. I love the black and white. Second, they are sweet, and salty and savory but not,…
I’m not much for cake. I’m sure you’ve noticed if you have looked around this website. So red velvet cake is just not something I’m going to make. But if you want to make a red dessert, it’s the go to. But cookies? Cookies are always welcome on my plate or dessert menu. So I…
When I was a kid, I distinctly remember being at a sleepover and we made a dip of peanut butter, honey and cinnamon to go on apples and probably ritz crackers. Cinnamon and peanut butter might potentially sound like a strange combo. I know it did to me back then, but you’ll have to trust…
Maple shortbread cookies are an exquisite mouth journey. If you’ve never had a good shortbread cookie, let me just tell you. You are missing out. They practically melt in your mouth and are a rich buttery, light sweet cookie. They are the type of cookie you can eat like 12 and then you’re like.. what…
Brown butter chocolate chip cookies. Honestly, just chocolate chip cookies.. it’s hard to go wrong. Everyone thinks their chocolate chip cookie recipe is the best one. Honestly, a lot of them aren’t that different other than do they contain nuts or not. Which that is a very controversial topic so I didn’t even think about…
Now I’m a fan of the duo that is raspberry and white chocolate just as much as the next person, if not more. But, it’s been done. About a million times. So, I thought about what fruit and white chocolate might be equally delicious. Perhaps white chocolate blueberry cookies? I’ve seen the combo in muffins…
These caramel pecan oatmeal cookies are thick and chewy, with rich flavor from the caramel bits and excellent crunch from the chopped pecans. I never really grew up eating oatmeal cookies. Honestly, I don’t remember my mom ever making any cookies other that sugar cookies or chocolate chip before I was a teenager. I’m sure…
I’m not really a thumbprint cookie kind of gal. I don’t know why. I’m weirdly picky about things. I like jam sometimes, I love cookies, I should enjoy them. But they are just things I don’t want combined. For example, coconut, I only enjoy combined with pineapple. Otherwise, hard pass. And some things I only…
