I bet you can’t eat just one
This just might be one of the easiest ( & most favorite) cookie recipes I have ever made. They are so good I even got some of the healthiest people I know to eat them all up, leaving the kids with just a few. OK, let me explain. For the kids (I thought) We were having a fun BBQ and get together with some sweet friends and their kids at my brother and sis-in-laws house. Honestly as much as I am over there we should just start calling it my second home. Anyway my brother was going to grill and I told them I would bring dessert. The trick to…

no rollin here for these sugar cookies…
Summer is here. The kids are almost out of school (or maybe they already are) and that means it is time to BAKE! What do you like to bake int he summer…how about cookies? How about no roll sugar cookies? OK perfect…lets start there!! I just love the light texture of the cookie with the sweet frosting that is colored in all the best summer colors…or any colors you want. No rolling here The one problem I have with frosted sugar cookies though is that most of them require you to refrigerate them, then roll them out, then bake them, let them cool then finally frost them. Now I understand that they are totally…

Cookies and Dinosaur fun for all (but mainly Wesley)
One of my favorite things in the whole wide world is that my Niece & Nephew call me Chelle Chelle. Another favorite thing is baking for my 2 favorite little people…so when I kept them last week baking was defiantly in the plan … DINOSAUR cookies to be specific. I mean just look how cute he is!! Bring on the Sprinkles…DINOSAUR Sprinkles My nephew is all about dinosaurs. We walk like them, growl like them and even eat like them. So, when I saw dinosaur sprinkles (you can get yours here) I knew I had to have them…I mean for my nephew, of course. As I said, one of the things on our…

you’ve been good all week
I can’t believe the first full week of 2017 is already gone. So what are your New Years resolutions? I have made a few and will share them next week but would love to hear about yours this weekend. If you are apart of the 50% of the country who wants to lose weight or at least adopt a healthier lifestyle I applaud you. I am all about that, but I am also about moderation and enjoying life and these sugar cookie bars are perfect for the moderation and enjoying part. They just make me smile. Sprinkles, Sprinkles and more Sprinkles Sugar cookies are a favorite of mine. I…

this ain’t your normal sugar cookie
Sugar cookies are my mom’s favorite cookie. She would eat them everyday, if I made them for her everyday. Thankfully for her I don’t…or her time at the gym would be a lot more than it is right now. Time for something new My Mom is not the only one who loves sugar cookies though. I am also a HUGE fan so when I was at one of my favorite cooking store (Sur La Table) and saw these cookie stamps I knew it was time to make these shortbread sugar cookies. Since I was going to be using a new technique I decided to use a new recipe. I have…

a twist on a sugar cookie
I love cookies. Chocolate chip cookies, shortbread cookies, brownie cookies, sugar cookies, peanut butter cookies…really ANY cookie. A few weeks ago I decided to bring 2 of my favorites together into one delicious cookie and make a Peanut Butter Sugar Cookie. A little something for everyone Each fall The Hubby takes some of his customers little yummies with calendars from his company. This year he wanted cookies to give out. He asked for his favorite chocolate chip cookies (recipe will be posted soon) and also for a peanut butter cookie. Well I couldn’t give him 2 traditional cookies, so I decided to change up the peanut butter cookie a little, don’t…

Load them up
Are you a cookie, cake, brownie, cupcake, pie or blondie fan? What was that…your a fan of all them? Oh wait, sorry that was me…I LOVE ALL DESSERT!! Many times I have a very hard time deciding, but last week I was craving some blondies…and I decided to load them up with some Fall flair making them perfect for the season. A favorite of The Hubby’s The Hubby loves cookies and brownies, amazing blondies a favorite by default. They have the crunch of a great cookie and the center of a perfect brownie…making them pretty perfect according to The Hubby. Last week I was craving blondies but I wanted to make…

celebrate with cookies
The 4th of July is just around the corner (like next week) and these cookies are a perfect way to celebrate!! These are not just chocolate chip cookies? So what makes these so special? Simple, pudding. Yes there is pudding mix in the cookies, making them super moist and tender and oh so good!! The pudding also adds another layer of vanilla goodness giving these cookies something people will remember. Sprinkles everywhere! To make these already delicious cookies even more fun I threw in some sprinkles. Now you could use any sprinkles you have on hand, but I went with red, white and blue for the upcoming Holiday. Not only…

double the peanut butter goodness
Peanut butter cookies are a must make for the summer (at least in my family). The Hubby loves them, the Dad loves them and my Mammaw loves them. A good peanut butter cookie to me is soft in the center, crispy on the edges and dusted with sugar giving each a bit of extra sweetness and a little crunch. These cookies are all that a little more…I added in some peanut butter chips for an extra bit of peanut butter goodness. They are so easy! One of my favorite things about these peanut butter cookies is the fact that you can mix them up and bake them immediately…no chilling…

I love Oreo cookies. At any given time you can find at least 1 package in my pantry…right now I have the original variety and the new S’more variety. PS… the s’more options is so, so good, especially for the summer. As much as I love the Oreo cookie I also love incorporating this favorite into cookies, pies and bars…today we are all about the cookie. If you have spent very much time here you know I love cookies…and I make a lot of cookies for The Hubby, my family & friends. One the years I have made everything form a traditional chocolate chip cookies (this is our favorite…
