I love Snickerdoodles as much as the next guy, but today I decided an experiment was necessary. What if I left out that weird tasting cream of tartar? added cinnamon? added vanilla? added butter? What would THAT cookie taste like? Answer?? Buttery-Cinnamon-Deliciousness. Friends, these aren’t your average Snickerdoodles (because they’re not Snickerdoodles at all), but […]
Iced Oatmeal Cookies Recipe
My Grandma always kept her snack cupboard stocked with sweet, crunchy store-bought cookies like biscotti, windmills, gingersnaps and iced oatmeal cookies. They were perfect for dunking in her mid morning cup of tea or enjoying just before bed. Though most kids probably wouldn’t choose these type of cookies as their favorites, I have to say […]
Salted Brown Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipe
These may be my new favorite cookie of all time. I can’t tell you how delicious the combination of sweet chocolate chips cookies is with that perfect sprinkle of salt on top. *dreamy* Additionally, the addition of only brown sugar (no white) and the melted butter makes these chewy and irresistible.

Mint Chip Chocolate Almond Biscotti Recipe
If there’s one guy I trust to give me an awesome biscotti recipe it’s David Lebovitz. The guy is a genius. Sure enough, this butter-less biscotti turned out beautifully even with my inclusion of mint chips rather than just chocolate. In case you’re looking at me like, “What in the world is biscotti?” then allow […]

Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipe
I first made a peanut butter chocolate chip cookie about a year ago, on a whim. I shared them with a friend and her family and I never stopped hearing about how delicious they were. Honestly, though, I didn’t think they were that great. But TWICE (yes two times!) in the last week, I have […]
Monster Cookies Recipe
By definition, Monster Cookies are, well monstrous. They’re supposed to be huge, and also filled with every delicious ingredient you can dream up. I am thinking you could easily substitute half of the M&Ms and/or chocolate chips for another type of bite sized or chopped candy bar, raisins, coconut, chopped nuts, peanut butter or white […]
