Need an easy and super-quick cookie recipe? I’ve got it for you right here. I needed an easy dessert to take to a picnic recently, and I really didn’t have much time to make anything fancy. But…I didn’t want to be the one person who brought something that everyone passed over on the picnic…
Cinnamon Chip Oatmeal Cookies
When it snows, I bake. And it’s been snowing a lot lately. The weather forecast is calling for warmer temperatures starting tomorrow (hallelujah!) so hopefully winter is finally coming to a close here soon and the kids can get back to school. And I can get back to work. Yesterday’s snow day treat was…
The Ultimate Christmas Cookie Exchange {40+ Recipes}
My mom always made a holiday plate full of treats to deliver to our neighbors and friends. So after I got married, I naturally started making goodie plates for our neighbors and friends, too. While I do love eating all of my family’s favorite holiday treats, a huge part of what makes our Christmas…
Madeleines Recipe
There was once a fancy cookie that I only saw at special get-togethers and celebrations. I did not know the name of this cookie, but I recognized the shape and the unique flavor/texture combination that was somewhere in between cookie and cupcake.

Caramel Pecan Cookies #NationalCookieDay
This post and giveaway are sponsored by Quiznos, but thoughts and opinions are my own. Did you know that December 4 is National Cookie Day? I’m surprised that there’s not more of a celebration…because cookies are some of the best things EVER. I just made a brand new cookie this weekend (an experiment that turned…
Chocolate Chip Cookie Oatmeal Muffins
I’ve been baking altogether too much lately, but believe it or not, this is an old recipe that I just discovered that I’d never shared. During the summer of 2012, I worked on a project with WhoNu? Cookies (now WhoKnew) creating recipes using their cookies. Yes, the recipe-creation project was paid, but I am…
Leftover Halloween Candy Recipes and Crafts

Pumpkin Spice Snickerdoodles
This Halloween-themed post and Pumpkin Spice Snickerdoodles recipe is brought to you by Hershey’s but all thoughts and recipe creation are my own work. Earlier in the season, I was seeing a bunch of pumpkin snickerdoodles around and was dying to try a batch. I tried. And the pumpkin snickerdoodles were NOT a hit….
