S’mores Cookies & Ginger Snaps
Every year around the holidays I have this list of things I’d like to do during the season. And one thing that is always on my list is to make Christmas cookies. To me, Christmas cookies don’t have to be decorated just so, but there have to be enough to share. And ideally, I’d put them in bags, tie pretty bows on them and give them to my neighbors. Well, it liked to kill me, but mission accomplished! I have to thank Brogan for this feat, because first thing this morning, he started asking for us to make cookies. Since the hub’s new job means he works every weekend, anything…

Brownie Cookies
When I got home from work today, Brogan asked me if we could make cookies. Now baking is not typically a weekday affair, but I’ve found that sometimes it’s fun to throw the routine out the window and just go with it. So instead of making dinner, we made cookies (and ate leftovers). Brogan helped, Beckett stayed entertained with chips and hummus and it was a fun night in this house.

Maple Peanut Butter Cookies
Brogan and I decided to make some cookies this morning so I thought we’d try out a peanut butter cookie recipe from Pinterest. The recipe was for Honey-Peanut Butter Cookies, but I was low on honey. I decided to improvise and go with my go-to sweetener, maple syrup. So I subbed butter in place of shortening and maple syrup in place of honey and these cookies were delish! The maple really adds something great to the flavor, however it’s very subtle. Maple Peanut Butter Cookies 3 cups all-purpose flour 1 cup sugar 1 1/2 tsp baking soda 1 tsp baking powder 1/2 tsp salt 1/2 cup butter, room temperature 1…

Double Chocolate Chip Cookies
We love cookies at my house – especially Brogan. He loves to help make them, and he loves to help eat them even more. Double chocolate chip has recently become my favorite cookie, and so I’ve been trying different recipes in search of the perfect one – for me, this one is it! They are chocolaty and chewy and it is hard to eat just one. The perfect accompaniment to tall glass of milk. Hope you enjoy them as much as we do! Double Chocolate Chip Cookies 1 1/4 cup unsalted butter 2 cups sugar 2 large eggs 2 tsp vanilla 2 cups flour 3/4 cup cocoa powder 1 tsp…
