• KETO Snickerdoodle

    OK y’all I am obsessed with these cookies… like OBSESSED!  Each bit is a little bit sweet with the perfect bit of cinnamon making these cookies SOOOO GOOD! Keeping it KETO Growing up I remember having snickerdoodles all the time, but as an adult I kinda forgot all about these little jewel of a cookie and then last week I was so sweetly reminded of them.  I have some sweet friends and one of them asked me if I could make him some cookies.  His favorite he has had of mine so far are these Molasses Sandwich Cookies but I asked him what else he loves and he said Snickerdoodle,…

  • KETO Double Chocolate Cookies

    I have a few weaknesses in my world.  I find it hard to pass up a good glass of rose on a warm summer day, I find it very hard to say no to fishing and I find it near impossible to say no to chocolate.  Since starting my KETO lifestyle I have had to become very creative with my chocolate cravings, and these cookies are a staple for me. Chocolate, please These cookies are loaded with chocolate yumminess.  They have cocoa powder and dark chocolate, lots of dark chocolate.  For 20 cookies you use 3 oz of dark chocolate… in other words that is a WHOLE chocolate bar.  …

  • Espresso Brownie Cookies

    Happy 1st weekend of 2019.  I cannot believe it is already almost a week into this new year.  To celebrate making it through the week I made these Espresso Brownie Cookies.  Now I know they are not KETO, but they are pretty amazing and a perfect treat before I jump back on the KETO train next week. Brownies or Cookies? Do you ever have a hard time deciding between a brownie or a cookie?  Yes?  No?  Well I do…except not anymore.  This cookie/brownie is everything you love about both in one quick recipe.   They are fudgy, rich and super chocolaty with a hint of espresso in each bite.  …

  • Loaded Chocolate Chip Cookies

    I am a cookie fanatic this time of year and these Loaded Chocolate Chip Cookies are a must make.  Trust me these will be Santa’s new favorite cookie! A little bit for Everyone For me a good chocolate chip cookie is a little crispy on the edges, soft in the center and loaded with tons of chocolatey goodness.   My families favorite chocolate chip cookies are these, but let me tell you after they have these cookies they might just change their minds. Not only are these cookies crispy and soft but they are also loaded with tons of yummy.  First I used semi-sweet chocolate chunks and then I threw…

  • Cranberry Pistachio White Chocolate Shortbread

    I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE shortbread.  Anytime there is a shortbread option on a cookie platter that is the one I go for first.  There is just something so decadent in each buttery bite. So much yummy I am a happy girl with just a plain shortbread (like this one), but for the Holidays I decided to amp it up a bit with a little extra something.  To start with I wanted a little something tart and pretty so I added in one of my favorite holiday tasted, dried cranberries.   Next for a little crunch I went with another favorite, pistachio’s.  I love how they taste and how they look,…

  • Spiced Molasses Sandwich Cookies

    I have a new favorite cookie… Spiced Molasses Sandwich Cookies!  Trust me… you will LOVE them! The perfect blend The cookie itself is quite sweet, especially with the course sugar, but the pumpkin-butter buttercream is the perfect balance.  It is just a little sweet with a good bit of spice making each bite the perfect balance.   If you are planning on just eating the cookies and not making them into sandwich cookies you could leave off the sugar until right when you bring them out of the oven.  That way the sugar is just on the top and not on all sides. Sugar options When I roll cookies in…

  • Pumpkin-Butter Buttercream

    The Holidays call for 2 things in my book… pumpkin and buttercream. One of my favorite pumpkin treats is Trader Joes Pumpkin Butter.  It is a little sweet with a little spice making it AMAZING!   When you add it to this buttercream recipe it is AMAZING! Not your normal filling I love a good sandwich cookie with a  good filling.   I love the richness and creaminess it brings to anything and everything you add it to.  Most of the time buttercream is used on cakes and cupcakes, but this time I used it as the filling for my new favorite cookie.  Yes cookie my Spiced Molasses Sandwich Cookies. If…

  • Triple Chocolate Cookies

    IT IS FINALLY FALL!  I love all the fall colors, the pumpkins, the leaves, the scarecrows…all of it.   I even love some of the scary parts of Fall, like googly eyes and a goblin or two…but nothing too scary.   To welcome in everything fall and celebrate a little of the scary I give you Triple Chocolate Chip Cookies.   For the record… these cookies are good anytime of year, I just really love how awesome they are with the fall colored M&M’s and the eye ball candy.  All the chocolate I love, love, love chocolate.  Dark chocolate, milk chocolate, white chocolate, semi-sweet chocolate, bittersweet…I love it all.  For…

  • Pumpkin Butter Cookies (KETO/Low Carb Friendly)

    Happy Fall!!  I cannot believe it is almost October!  To celebrate I made KETO friendly Pumpkin Butter Cookies and they are AMAZING! The perfect Fall cookie One of my biggest fears going on KETO was missing out on the sweets.  To be honest I do not have a big sweet tooth but I do like a little something sweet here and there.  A couple of friends suggested I make “fat bombs” immediately and I did and I love them (I will post a recipe for those soon) but the last few days I have been craving a cookie or cake…specifically pumpkin cookies or cake.  Thankfully I adjusted a favorite recipe…

  • Pumpkin Sugar Cookies

    September is in full swing and that means it is Pumpkin Spice Season…right?  To celebrate everything pumpkin, I had to make these Pumpkin Sugar Cookies.  They are my new favorite sugar cookie!! Not too much Pumpkin Ok I know that sometimes pumpkin spice can over power everything and become too much, but not in these cookies.  There is just enough hint of spice, without being in your face pumpkin pie spice.   If you wanted more spice you could add in an additional 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon to make them more like a pumpkin snickerdoodle. Grab a glass This cookie batter does not spread so it is important to press…
