UPDATE – This Gingerbread Cookie post is from several years ago but I just love the pics, and the memories and everything about it so I just had to repost it. I also love Gingerbread cookies so there is that too. ************************************************************************ This past weekend I got to watch my niece and nephew for a night and making cookies was on the menu for sure. Not too long ago I was at World Market and found this great pack of sprinkles that had a little bit of everything from cinnamon dots to metallic sprinkles and everything in between. My little helper is the BEST EVER Anytime I can get my…

The Santa Chocolate Chip Cookie
Cookies are a must make for all the time, but especially during the Holiday Season. Good thing I know which cookie Santa prefers. A little bit for Everyone … especially Santa 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 in…

Spooky Cosmic Brownies
Happy Spooky Season Y’all!! I am so excited that it is almost October. As you know I am all about everything Pumpkin, but really I am all about anything Fall and that includes the spooky season. To amp up our Halloween sweet table this year I decided to bring a classic but make it a little spooky. Classic … Classic … Classic Sometimes it is good to go back to a classic, simple recipe. I am all for changing up a traditional recipe but there is just something so good about the classics. These brownies are as classic as they get. They are rich, fudgy, everything chocolate, topped with icing…

Loaded Candy Blondies
Have Ester candy hanging around? Let’s make blondies!!! Load them up! I am blondie fan… especially loaded ones like these cookies & cream blondies and these pistachio white chocolate blondies. Today I was craving something sweet and starting looking around and realized I had a ton of Easter candy that I had not sued so I decided to throw a lot of it into a blondie. Let me tell you… I am obsessed with these… OBSESSED!! Use what candy you have… So I threw in mini cadbury chocolate eggs, peanut butter eggs, M&M’s and sprinkles. You could just use one kind of candy or more, if you have more… just…

Gluten Free Pistachio Blondies
Pistachio Blondies are so, so good but when they are Gluten Free almost everyone can enjoy them making them even better! Hello (toasted) Pistachio I am going to be fully transparent with you, it took me a couple of tries to get these blondies right. To get them to that perfect, slightly ooey gooey goodness. As with most gluten free recipes, the blondies were a little too dry the first go around, and then the 2nd one wouldn’t set up enough and then finally on the 3rd try we finally got there. These blondies have a beautiful golden crust, each bite is filled with tons of pistachios and hints of…

Lucky Charm Cookies
Lucky Charm Cookies are the perfect last minute St Patricks Day treat! They are not only super fun they are SUPER YUMMY!! Are you a Lucky Charm? I was strolling down eh cereal aisle the other day, remembering all the kid cereal I ate growing up. Everything from Coco Puffs to Captain Crunch (I liked the one with berries) to Cookie Crunch… and then I saw Lucky Charms. I LOVED the marshmallows in Lucky Charms so much. The unicorn was my favorite one, but I was also a big rainbow fan as well. As I was standing there reminiscing for a second it hit me… let’s put them into…

Iced Sugar Cookies
These Classic Iced Sugar Cookies are a MUST MAKE. They are super tender, topped with a delicious icing with hints of vanilla bean in each bite and fun sprinkles. A perfect cookie for any Holiday or Special Occassion. No rolling here One of the things that annoys me about sugar cookies is having to roll them out. Rolling pins and I don’t have the best relationship. I tend to roll things too thin, or not thin enough…it just never seems to be right. With these cookies though there is no rolling…that is one of the reasons why I love these cookies. I also love how tender they are. Not so…

Gluten Free Sugar Cookies
Sugar Cookies have never been better than these Gluten Free Sugar Cookies! Yes… Gluten Free and they are AMAZING! The Great Sugar Cookie Debate… Are you a thin & crispy sugar cookie person or a fluffy and chewy sugar cookie person? For me I like both. My MeeMaw would make me her sugar cookies every time I would come see her (you can find the recipe here), and they were thin & crispy and SO GOOD! Like super yummy, I would eat all of them and not share with anyone. On the other hand we had a family friend who would make more of a lofthouse kinda cookie with…
