These cookies just may take the place of the mint snow-top cookies that my mother used to make when Nestle Tollhouse manufactured mint chocolate chips… This particular recipe is pretty much a direct copy from the website, with a couple additional words in the directions. There are a couple things that I’d probably change up for next time – they ended up spreading out on … Continue reading Peppermint Hot Chocolate Brownie Cookies
Quite a while ago, Nestle Tollhouse made mint chocolate chips. They’d only make them available around the holiday season, and because this was one of the recipes on the back of the bag, and my siblings and I LOVED them, my mom would buy quite a few bags each season to make a ton of them to enjoy while we were out of school. Unfortunately, … Continue reading Chocolate Mint Snow-Top Cookies
Not going to lie – I love sweets. I try not to make too many, because I seldom have the willpower to eat the moderately. Still, when it’s the holiday season, I feel like trying something new that I can take to a family gathering, which kills two birds with one stone – I get to bring something fun, AND I’m not the only one … Continue reading Vermont Maple Cookies
I hate raisins. There. I’ve said it. Again. But I love oatmeal cookies. Imagine my irritation when the loveliness of oatmeal cookies is marred by the thing I hate so much! A couple years ago, I went on the hunt for an oatmeal cookie that contained not the aforementioned “gross” ingredient, but instead my favorite thing – chocolate. You’d think I’d be happy with just taking … Continue reading Chewy Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies
I’m going to be honest. I am not a Pumpkin Spice lover. I think the hype and craze around it is a little ridiculous. That being said, I understand that others enjoy it, and when a friend (the scrap booking, super healthy one) said that she’d found a Pumpkin Snickerdoodle recipe, my ears perked up. If I could make a pumpkin spice-ish dessert for holiday … Continue reading Pumpkin Snickerdoodles
MM loves cinnamon raisin bread. When he’s need a bit of a pick me up in the morning, he’ll add a slice or two of it to his breakfast, warmed by the toaster (though not toasted), and the smell of the cinnamon wafts through the air and tempts me. Just a little. But I hate raisins. So, I am able to utilize this dislike, and … Continue reading Swirl Cinnamon Bread
I was on the lookout for a recipe that I could take with me to a dinner with friends, and that maybe I could bring into work with me for my birthday. Initially, I found a chocolate cake from a newsletter I get fairly regularly, but since MM mentioned that cake isn’t his favorite, I took that recipe out of the mix. I’d stumbled on … Continue reading Super Chocolate Brownies
Years and Years ago, I thought that I needed to make little gifts for our neighbors. Something small, but thoughtful, and homemade. This was before I knew of things like Pinterest, so I went straight to food. You know, cookies or something to that effect. And I tried, really I tried, to think of something that I could make that would be good, but that … Continue reading Chocolate Fudge Candy
These. Cookies. Are. WONDERFUL! Seriously. Make these right now. I got the recipe off of Pinterest, really, and the ingredient list scared me a bit. I don’t have Turbinado sugar, as a rule, but once I got past that step out of the comfort zone, boy was I happy! I’d never used two types of salt in a cookie recipe before, either, but I know … Continue reading Salted Chocolate Chunk Cookies
With the addition of a new range in my life, I decided to make something special that I could bring into work with me (since I really don’t need all that sweetness available in my house). Enter Chocolate cupcakes. Again, Pinterest is my friend (and my enemy, and my friend). Here’s where I got the recipe for the cupcake part: Chocolate Sweetheart Cupcakes Now. I … Continue reading Ghiradelli Chocolate Cupcakes with Pink Frosting
