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, [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Buttery Jam Cookies

Baked in Brooklyn

Cancelled flights, 180 people on stand-by, an unplanned night in Dallas, a 6:40 am flight the next day, lost baggage, horribly unhelpful AA baggage people, and [...]

Circus Cookie Taste Test

Mother’s Circus Cookies are one of the most fun and delicious packaged cookies you can buy at the store. How can you resist these sweet animal-shaped cookies covered in white and hot pink icing and rainbow sprinkles? Well, you probably can’t resist them…unless for some crazy reason you have never tried them, or, even more [...]

Triple Peanut Oatmeal Cookies

An undeniable craving for oatmeal cookies struck me last week. I rummaged through the baking cabinet…yes, I have a cabinet filled almost exclusively with baking goods and gadgets…and found a bag of peanut butter chips. Mmm. Then I went to the pantry and was drawn toward the jar of creamy peanut butter and the [...]
