  • One Bowl Chocolate Chip Cookies

    I am not sure there is anything much better than warm chocolate chip cookies straight out of the oven.  I mean, there are a few things, but not much.  To make them even better how about making them all in one bowl and not chilling time….yep it is now better for sure. Scoop-i-dy Scoop Scoop One of my favorite tricks to make all my cookies the same size, so they all cook the same way is to use a cookie scoop.  I understand not everyone my have a handy cookie scoop laying around but don’t worry.  You can use a melon baller, a small ice cream scoop or a tablespoon…

They are just so pretty! Not only are they cute, but they are…

  • Strawberry Cobbler

    I found myself in quite the situation yesterday…there were a ton of strawberries in my refrigerator that I had to use..  I had planned on making a strawberry dessert for Easter, but due to some family stuff I didn’t get too.  Now I had to figure out something yummy to make with them.

I have done it before and the cookies were really…
