For the next couple of posts I am handing the reigns over to my wife Dana! She was in a Christmas cookie kind of mood and we decided to have a Christmas Cookie Marathon. Dana is a great baker and here is her first recipe. Fudge Crinkles. I have never had these before, but they…
I love Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies. They are chewy and delicious. Plus, they seem as if they are a tad bit healthier as they contain oatmeal. Not sure of the overall health benefits, but they are delicious! Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies – Adapted from Smitten Kitchen Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. In the bowl…
I made one batch of these cookies and immediately had to make another. Dana and I loved them! They were delicious. We are dark chocolate fans so they hit the spot. If you wish, you can use standard cocoa and semi-sweet chips if you are not a fan of the decadent dark chocolate. Double Chocolate…
I am a huge fan of caramel. I can not get enough of it. So I decided to create a caramel pecan cookie. I modified a standard cookie recipe to include dark brown sugar. The added molasses in the dark brown sugar enhanced the caramel and pecan flavor. These were some of most delicious cookies…
I was trolling around the internet looking for some inspiration and discovered these tasty cookies over at SavorySights.com. They were posted by Fake Ginger and they reminded me of the super soft and delicious sugar cookies that the local Ukrop’s Bakery inside of Martin’s makes. They were perfect. Light and fluffy and exactly what I…
I have been up all night lately and my only savior has been coffee. Nothing goes with coffee like Shortbread cookies (AKA Sandies). I buy them by the case. However, I ran out and was unable to go to the store. So I decided to try them for myself. It is a basic butter cookie…
I hate to say it but I love sweets. I guess that is how I keep my amazing figure. Haha. Anyways, I am a huge fan of Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies. I like my cookies semi-dense with a little bite but not too chewy. Along the same path I like my cookies to be thick…
Over the past couple of weeks we have been trying to get settled into our new house. However, we still have a ton of things to move and unpack. So we have been enlisting the help of our family. Last week my Mother came out to help. This week we have Dana’s Parents helping out….
The other night I had a craving for chocolate chip cookies. The only problem was that I did not have any brown sugar. So I looked around and I had molasses. I use about 1 tbs molasses for every cup of granulated sugar to make my brown sugar alternative. It works great. Having solved that…
The other day I wanted something sweet. So I poured through my cupboards and refrigerator and all I found were the components to make oatmeal chocolate chip cookies. On a good day this would be awesome, but I wanted the cookies right away. Needless to say, I had to wait. 🙁 But as you can…
The other day I wanted something sweet and Dana suggested those little sugar cookies with jam in the middle. Then it hit me, I had a ton of Strawberry Jam in the freezer from when my parents visited. This would be the perfect combination. Strawberry Jam Cookies. Check out the Strawberry Jam post for some…
Yesterday I posted the recipe for my first attempt at dream bars. It was extremely tasty, but not the dream bars that I was looking for. Today is my second shot. I wanted to make the crust chewier and more moist. I wanted the top to be chewy but not cookie like. So I changed…
I love Potbelly’s Sandwich Works. They toast the subs, they are extremely cheap and they have Sheila’s Dream Bars. I purchase one of these puppies each and every time I enter Potbelly’s. So the other day I had a thought, why purchase a sub to get a Dream Bar when I could make them at…
