Decorated Sugar Cookies

Some of you know the story behind why I made these.  These cookies didn’t end up making it to their intended destination.  On the bright side, I got to practice my cookie decorating skills. Even though making these requires quite a bit of time, and even though my hands and nails have been dyed by [...]

Fudgy Chocolate & Peanut Cookies

There was a time in my life that I would have turned my nose up at a cookie recipe that used a cake mix.  Times have changed. Like many of my baked goods these days, this one was an attempt to use things I had on hand.  I had a cake mix, a jar of [...]

Trail Mix Cookies

Trail mix is one of my favorite snacks.  I am not active enough to really need the calories and nutritional value it provides, but it’s still not as bad as chowing down on a bag of potato chips, right?  Right… Not only is trail mix delicious, but it’s an easy snack to take along with [...]

Oreo Stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookies

There are no words.  Just salivation. Baking Bites (link here) does a post called “Bites from Other Blogs” where she  introduces you to new food blogs and recipes.  This one caught my eye, and thanks to always buying more than I need I had a fresh box of OREOS in the pantry!  It was fate, [...]

“Craisy” Oatmeal Cookies

Oatmeal, cranberry, coconut & rosemary cookies…but that is just too much to type as a blog post title. I don’t like the “Craisy” title either, but that is how they’re described by Guy Fieri, the creator of these cookies.  ”Craisy” because of the use of dried cranberries or “craisins”, and also “crazy” because of the [...]

Oatmeal, Pecan, Coconut & Butterscotch Cookies

A bag of butterscotch chips in my cupboard greeted me (by falling out onto the counter) the other day and so I took this as a sign to make something with them.  I found a recipe for pecan and oatmeal cookies, and so I just added the coconut and butterscotch chips because I have this, [...]

Candy Corn Sugar Cookies

Candy corn is one of those things that you either love or hate.  I love it.  Ben hates it. I know they’re supposed to taste like honey, and I guess they kinda do.  But they really just taste like sweet, sugary deliciousness to me.  If you’ve never tried candy corn mixed in with salted peanuts [...]

Pumpkin Cookie Pies

It is starting to really feel like fall here.  The evenings are cool, the leaves are starting to change and fall off the trees, and it is now permissible to make fall flavored desserts!  So, in honor of this wonderful season I bought 4 cans of pumpkin and am going a little crazy baking pumpkin [...]

Daring Bakers: Fall Inspired Sugar Cookies

It is a miracle that this is actually going to post today.  The icing on these lovely cookies is still wet, and my fingers are dyed a nice reddish orange.  But, it is done, and it is delicious. The September 2010 Daring Bakers’ challenge was hosted by Mandy of “What the Fruitcake?!” Mandy challenged everyone [...]

Triple Hot Chocolate Cookies

This recipe is from the Tasty Kitchen blog, Pioneer Woman’s recipe sharing community.  I sometimes forget to look here for recipes, but thanks to my Google Reader I am reminded to check it out every now and then when there is a new post.  The site is organized well, and is easy and fun to [...]
