I’ll be the first to admit that I have a sweet tooth. While I love baking and everything that goes along with it (licking my fingers, taste testing, and sharing my recipes here) I do often feel bad about the amount of sugar in many of my baked treats. I’ve been wanting to make…
Nutter Butter Copycat Cookies Recipe
Nutter Butters (for those of us who eat peanut butter, at least) are pretty close to cookie perfection, but they always seemed to me to be one of those “perfection like this only comes in a package” kinds of treats. I never dreamed of being able to make homemade nutter butters that rivaled the…
S’mores Bars Recipe
Like most Americans, I’m sure, I adore the taste of chocolate, graham crackers, and gooey marshmallows together. And I’m also sure I’m not alone in dreading the hassle that it is to make s’mores. Classic over-the-campfire s’mores are great when you’re camping, but what about when you’re at home…in your air conditioned kitchen? I had…
Red White and Blue Cake Mix Cookies – Easy 4th of July Recipe
Despite the heat in the kitchen (our AC is still out!) the kids were begging me to bake some cookies with them yesterday afternoon. I decided that if I had to endure the heat, I’d at least make something fun and festive to enjoy for the 4th of July. I love making cake…
Sea Salt Caramel Bars
I had company over for dinner the other night, and wanted to make an easy – and new – dessert for after the meal. I had all the ingredients out for S’mores Bars, but realized at the last moment that I didn’t have enough chocolate…so I turned to another recipe that I had been wanting…
Chocolate Chip Cookie-Stuffed Oreos
Yes, I did really say that. My 13 year old asked me to pick up some Oreos the other day. When I asked why she wanted Oreos in particular (I know, silly question), she told me about some cookies that her friend at school had told her about. Oh my! Does it get much…
Chewy Ginger Cookies with I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter #G2KHoliday
I guess you could call me an ingredient snob. I wasn’t always this way. But sometime between my first and second year of marriage, I developed a cookie-making complex. Every batch I made was a flop and my husband convinced me that it all had to do with the ingredients I was using. So I…
Andes Mint Chocolate Chip Cookies
Please don’t hate me for sharing another delicious cookie recipe. ‘Tis the season for cookies! Is there an off-season for cookies, though? I’m serious. This recipe is a new one for me. I was craving cookies yesterday, and I just happened to have a couple of packages of Andes Creme de Menthe baking chips. Hello?…
Snickerdoodles Recipe – A Little Bit of Cookie Heaven
I came home from a photo shoot on Saturday night to find my 13 year old baking in the kitchen. I was both thrilled and proud….thrilled that she had decided to make a batch of Snickerdoodles and proud because they were both gorgeous AND delicious. I was extra proud that she experimented a little with…
Gluten-Free Apple Spice Oatmeal Cookies
Although I don’t follow a gluten-free diet, I’ve got many family and friends that eat gluten free, and so I was excited to try out a recipe for gluten-free oatmeal cookies, especially when I had all of the ingredients on hand. As I was preparing the cookies today, my husband came into the kitchen…
