Peanut butter, chocolate, and butterscotch — what else do you want in a dessert? What a delicious combination and top it off with the fact that you don’t have to bake it means it’s a perfect summer treat!
Here’s the recipe for no bake chocolate scotcheroos. I can also imagine this would be a great recipe to [...]
Posted in Recipe Review, cookies, recipes, tagged homemade thin mint girl scout cookie on July 1, 2008 | 2 Comments »
Today is my Girl Scout Cookie recipe day. This time, I tried this recipe for thin mint cookies.
To be honest, I didn’t think these really tasted quite like the Girl Scout version (although the photo she included was beautiful).
The cookie wasn’t really like a wafer as much as it was like a cookie. [...]

I used to love the Samoa Girl Scout cookies — they were always my favorite. When I stumbled across this recipe to make them at home, I had to try it.
Well, mine aren’t pretty but they definitely taste like the Girl scout cookie version.
Next time, I wouldn’t make my dough so thin. I had [...]

I had a lemon in my fridge that was just hanging out, so I decided to make something with it. I wanted to try something different and so I picked this recipe for honey lemon squares.
I am not usually a lemon square fan, but these were really good. There was a perfect amount of lemon [...]

I try to never throw away food and so in that spirit, I realized I had a lime in my fridge that was about to go bad. I found this recipe for lime cookies and figured what the heck?
With the summer, this is a refreshing little cookie. There was a mild lime flavor (I only used [...]

I wanted to try out another peanut butter cookie recipe and so I tried this one. It was easy and full of peanut butter goodness.
I love how the peanut butter cookies spread out to be perfectly round. If you wanted to do something fun, you could dip half of the cookie in melted [...]

I am not a fan of raisins at all, but I felt that the photo of these cookies and the thought of using up some of the extra oatmeal I had was reason enough to make them.
Seriously, another great recipe. But since I have a strong aversion towards shortening, I used butter. So that means 4 [...]

From a previous recipe, I still had a lot of marshmallows remaining so I found two recipes to use them up.
The first recipe is this one for chocolate marshmallow cookies. I don’t like marshmallows, but these were seriously good. They were chocolaty and a perfect amount of sweetness — I was worried they’d be too sweet [...]

Honestly, these are the best chocolate chip cookies EVER. They are chewy, chocolaty, and have a slight crunch.
Using a medium scoop, there were about 52 perfect & beautiful cookies. THE BEST cookies EVER. I’m not kidding.
You should definitely try this recipe.

With the warm weather, comes a reminder to me that my baking days are numbered. But while I can, I thought I’d try to make these chewy chocolate chip cookies.
These were really good — very moist and soft but not overly chewy. I used a medium scoop and they turned out to be perfect cookies!

Posted in Dessert, Recipe Review, cookies, no bake, recipes, tagged no bake peanut butter logs on April 10, 2008 | No Comments »
The last of the peanut butter was used up with this recipe. As with most no-bake recipes, these were very easy to make. They were pretty good — sweet and crunchy.
While they don’t necessarily look beautiful, you can do something fun with the chocolate to make it a bit “prettier.”
I keep waffling on whether I’d [...]

Honey, too much. Blah blah blah. So I tried these honey cookies. I have to say they’re really good with a great, light cinnamon and honey flavor.
Unlike a lot of the recipes I used to get rid of my honey, this one was a perfect combination of sweetness. Unfortunately, I thought the recipe said 10 [...]

My quest to use up honey continues. Why did I buy so much? Oh well…
Anyway, I found this recipe for healthy honey oatmeal cookies. These were pretty easy to make, but they were also really sweet — or at least for me.
I’d definitely cut down on the brown sugar and if you want to add [...]
Posted in Recipe Review, cookies, recipes, tagged Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies on March 26, 2008 | No Comments »
I made the pumpkin spice bread which called for 2 cups of pumpkin puree, but then realized that I had 1 cup remaining.
So that’s when I found this easy recipe for pumpkin chocolate chip cookies. They were fluffy with a light pumpkin and spice flavor. Using a medium scoop, this recipe actually made about 40 cookies.
I [...]
Posted in cookies, recipes, tagged Flourless Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookie recipe on March 20, 2008 | No Comments »
After making the flourless peanut butter cookies, I wanted to add chocolate to see how it’d taste.
They were really good — both sweet and crunchy. YUM!
1 cup crunchy peanut butter (or use creamy peanut butter and coarsely chop peanuts)
2/3 cup of brown sugar
1 tsp vanilla
1 tsp baking soda
2/3 cup of chocolate chips
1 egg
I used a [...]

I have a lot of Hershey’s Dark Chocolate Cocoa Powder (dutch process) containers. I really love it and have made the recipes on the back of the container.
But I can only make so many dark chocolate cakes. So that’s when I went to their Web site and found these chocolate oatmeal cookies.
These were pretty good. They weren’t overly [...]

I made these ginger cookies one weekend since I loved these spiced cookies. Umm yeah, these didn’t work so well. I don’t know why either because I did follow the recipe.
My cookies didn’t look the same way as the photos show in the recipe post. But here’s the deal — they were a bit chewy on the [...]

You already know I went to Breadline once before. I felt like going again to try their Oyster Po Boy sandwich since I heard so much about it.
As you can see from the photo, the sandwich was very creamy. I hate mayo, so for me, it was too much remoulade sauce. The good stuff in [...]

When I saw this recipe for flourless peanut butter cookies, I thought it was a joke. I didn’t think you could make a good cookie using only 3 ingredients.
Well, the cookies came out gorgeous, but they were a bit chewy. I think next time, I’ll press them down so they’re not “fluffy.” But the overall flavor of [...]

I thought I’d try this sugar cookie recipe to see if it’s beat this recipe. I think it was really good.
My only modification to the recipe was putting only 6 TBSP of vegetable oil for 50 cookies. My suggestion is to add everything else first, then add enough oil so it sticks together. While the cookies [...]

I’m convinced that one of the reasons I keep my friends is because I send them boxes of random baked goods. You never know what you’re going to get (kinda like Forrest Gump), but it’ll be homemade!
It’s in that spirit that I sent my friend L (you remember her from my trip to San Fran) [...]

Rarely do I ever have a complete flop in the kitchen, but it happened. And boy, did it suck. Now while these Whoopee Pies did taste good, they looked horrible (as evident in the photos).
If I ever make these again, I think I’d make the cookies a little bigger (with the medium ice cream scoop) and [...]

You already know that I love this show, but it’s changed since the first season! It seems that now people can submit videos and then appear on the show, instead of having him surprise people. Hmm, I might have to make up a video!
Plus, his show is starting to get corporate advertisers — when he [...]

Damn the sweet tooth! One night, I was craving some cookies and thought I’d try another peanut butter cookie recipe. So I tried this one.
While it was an easy recipe, I prefer this peanut butter cookie recipe because they are thicker and chewy. The new recipe was a thin and crispy cookie.
I did have to add [...]

I received the Southern Living’s Complete Do-Ahead Cookbook and never made anything out of it — until one day, I decided to try out their Jumbo Cookie recipe.
It’s one of the most popular cookies I’ve ever made and always disappears quickly. The cookies are moist, rich, and delicious. Plus, they are hearty cookies — big [...]

The final trio of cookies were Ruth Moulton’s (am guessing it’s Sara Moulton’s mom?) spice ball cookies. My other two cookies were chocolate chip cookies and chocolate hazelnut biscotti.
If you’re like me, you don’t read recipes too closely. So instead of leaving out 1/2 cup of sugar for later, I used the whole 1 1/2 [...]

As part of my holiday cookie trio gift bags (the other two are chocolate hazelnut biscotti and spice ball cookies), I thought these chocolate chip cookies would be fun to include. While we may not usually think of them as traditional for this season, I think you can never go wrong with them.
These were really good. Don’t [...]

One day I decided to make dark chocolate truffle cookies because I didn’t have any butter and was looking to use up some dark cocoa powder.
I have to admit — my cookies didn’t turn out the way they did in the recipe’s photo. There were a couple of thoughts I had when I was making [...]

I made Giada’s chocolate hazelnut biscotti this weekend as part of my holiday gift bag. I’ve made a trio of cookies that will go into one bag and the other is a trio of biscotti.
To me, these are more a cookie than a biscotti. And apparently — by definition, these are not biscotti! Biscotti must be double-baked, [...]

Looking to see what kind of cookie I could make the other day, I stumbled on this recipe for Black Pepper Butter Cookies.
I thought it was too intriguing and had to try it. A few modifications that I made to the recipe:
It was too crumbly and wasn’t mixing together very well so I added an [...]
