I have just recently developed a love for coffee. I’ve enjoyed drinking it occasionally for the last few years, but this past week coffee has played a key part in my happiness. :) With that in mind, I bring you to Monday evening. I was wanting to make a special batch of cookies for my friends at Somerset who […]
Mint Chocolate Chip Cookies
My mind is always whirring with new cookie recipe ideas. Sometimes I can’t deviate from the traditional–and always loved–chocolate chip. But then, there are rare moments of brilliance. This cookie was one of those times! I am a huge mint chocolate fan. Breyer’s Mint Chocolate Chip is my favorite ice cream. Spearmint is my favorite flavor of […]
Orange Iced Cookies
This is the epitome of a family recipe. I have never seen this recipe or eaten these cookies anywhere else but at my Gram’s house. She and Gramps used to make these cookies for us every Christmas. I have fond memories of a group of my aunts and uncles and cousins crowded the kitchen counter, […]
Vanilla Almond Sugar Cookies
I love a good sugar cookie. I have not had much success in being the creator of said “good” sugar cookie. I roll them too thin. I bake them too long. I break them. I don’t know how to frost them. But I have officially discovered my favorite sugar cookie recipe AND it’s super simple. […]

Pumpkin Butterscotch Cookies
I would agree with Annie–these cookies will never win a beauty contest. But despite their drab color palette, these cookies live up to their pumpkin color and flavor. Cakey, sweet, and just the right amount of spice, I recommend you give these little babies a try this harvest season. (Just don’t overbake! Mine were a not […]
Peanut Butter Pretzel Chocolate Chip Cookies
This recipe is truly an original recipe. It was inspired by my love of chocolate. my love of pretzels. my love of peanut butter. and my love of any combination of those previously listed items. I wanted to whip up a batch of cookies to celebrate with our Bible Quizzers before they head to […]
Ultimate Ginger Cookies
Do NOT attempt to make or eat these cookies if you don’t really love ginger. Ginger is a strong, pungent root which is unmistakable. People either love it or hate it. If you’re in the latter category, run! If you’re in the former, then hold onto your hats. This is like a ginger or molasses […]
Thick and Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies

But nonetheless, you must disregard all previous claims I’ve made about chocolate chip cookies. These. are. the. most. amazing. chocolate. chip. cookies. EVER. The recipe comes from Baking Illustrated […]
