Dark Chocolate Chip Cookies And Easy Hot Chocolate
The holidays are a magical time for kids (and kids at heart). International Delight® is sponsoring this post about capturing the spirit of the holidays, which in my case involves cold weather, dark chocolate chip cookies, and hot chocolate! In Maryland, things start getting wintry around Thanksgiving, and aside from a few bizarro warm-weather days (um, it was 70°F last weekend), the weather outside is generally chilly, sometimes blustery, and can even be a little snowy. Whether it’s heading out to a local tree farm for our Christmas tree, or having a snowball fight when kids are off for the holiday break, being outside definitely helps us capture the holiday…
Glazed Cinnamon Cookies
These glazed cinnamon cookies are delicious little bites of yum! I got in the habit of baking cookies (almost) every week for a couple of reasons. First off, it’s so easy to make cookies at home that it’s nearly offensive to think buying them from the grocery store is easier. Secondly, you can’t beat the taste of a homemade chocolate chip or Snickerdoodle cookie to one from a store-bought package. You just can’t. And, so I bake cookies. Like this week’s variety… I used baking powder in this recipe, which means the cookies stayed close to their original dough drop shape, rather than spreading out on the baking sheet. They’re…
3 Simple Ways To Unwind
Pepperidge Farm® Milano® cookies sponsored this post about taking time to unwind and transition to calm after a busy day. If your day is anything like mine, you probably feel like a cross between “Taz” the Tasmanian Devil and Wonder Woman. I (thankfully) have a husband who’s willing to pitch in with the housework, and yet I still burn the candle at both ends on a daily basis. I’m sure I can squeeze one. more. load. of laundry in before bed. I should really unload the dishwasher before I sit down. I’ll edit one more series of blog photos before calling it a night. I can definitely squeeze in a mid-week grocery…

Here’s a list of some of milk’s favorite cookies (for dunking) AND ways to make the experience even more fun! This is a guest post. It has been scientifically proven that dunking cookies leads to better flavor. However, what hasn’t been scientifically proven is which cookies are the best to dunk in an ice-cold glass of milk. Assembled for review by avid cookie lovers, here is a list of some of the best cookies for dunking as well as a handful of proposals that should make the experience even more enjoyable. With a little hard work and a lot of empty stomachs, one should be able to discover which cookie-and-milk…
Chocolate Chip Cookies Made With Coconut Oil
Nothing will ever replace a classic chocolate chip cookie made with butter, but I will say this: chocolate chip cookies made with coconut oil have now moved in my top three chocolate chip cookie recipe adaptations. Yes, my foodie friends. They are that tasty. Yesterday I realized the cookie jar was empty, and since whether it’s full or not mostly depends on me and my cookie baking, I figured I better whip up a batch. Flour: check. Salt: check Baking soda: check. Egg: check. Brown sugar: check. Butter: half a stick … Oh no. Granulated sugar: a tablespoon … None. Wait, what? How does this happen? My minor freak-out lasted only…
Gooey Chocolate-Filled Cocoa Cookies
Gooey chocolate-filled cocoa cookies are all the richness of a brownie, with the oozy-ness of a molten lava cake. What’s better than double chocolate chip cookies? Why … gooey chocolate-filled cocoa cookies, of course! On the outside, they’re completely unassuming. Regular, everyday, round chocolate disks. Nothin’ special. But then… Then you take a bite, and what’s inside separates this cookie from its chocolate cake-like counterparts. We’re talking gooey chocolate filled cocoa cookies here, people! The richness of a brownie, with the oozy-ness of a molten lava cake. It’s something special. Perhaps only bested by an oozy caramel center, but we’ll leave that for another day. GOOEY CHOCOLATE-FILLED COCOA COOKIES. I’ll take…
Chocolate Chip Cookies With Pistachios
I’ve tried hundreds of different cookies over the years and I still believe the good ol’ chocolate chip cookie is my absolute favorite. And despite my love for the classic chip-only variety, I do occasionally mix it up a little, like these chocolate chip cookies with pistachios — just the right balance of sweet and salty. Mmm… Like in the case of oatmeal chocolate chip cookies, double chocolate chip cookies and chocolate chip cookie bars. OR, like with these: chocolate chip cookies with pistachios. *WITH PISTACHIOS!!!* Chocolate Chip Cookies With Pistachios The inspiration for these chocolate chip cookies with pistachios came from the half-empty bag in my pantry. They were screaming to…
9 Easy Cookie Recipes
October is National Cookie Month, so I can hardly start the month off right without sharing some of my favorite homemade cookies recipes that I’ve baked over the years! Last year I stopped buying cookies at the store (initially to my kids’ dismay), because I realized some things: Baking cookies at home is crazy simple. Most recipes are mixed, baked and cooled in under 30 minutes! Understanding ingredients and being able to pronounce them is important. Ever looked at the list of items that make up your typical store-bought chocolate chip cookie? COOKIE DOUGH. Smelling cookies baking in the oven is sooooo comforting. My kids like them better. Every weekend I bake…
