Pumpkin Eggnog Cookies

October 28, 2019 by Debbie 2 Comments

Apparently eggnog is one of those things that people Hate or Love . How ?? I am in that LOVE category! Once I see the rich creamy eggnog hit the shelves I know the holiday season is right around the corner. These Pumpkin Eggnog Cookies are made from….Pumpkin Eggnog.. if you have never tried it you need to. Although I love it ,I have had many baking failures with it. This is year three I have tried to make something with it and finally got a great result. My theory is the high sugar content has given me bad results, that’s my story and I am sticking to it LOL . If you love pumpkin but not eggnog check out my Chocolate Dipped Pumpkin Cookies, another great fall goodies.

Chocolate Dipped Pumpkin Cookies

October 13, 2019 by Debbie 3 Comments

I have combined two of my loves in this Chocolate Dipped Pumpkin Cookie, pumpkin and dark chocolate. A soft cake like pumpkin spiced cookie mixed with rich dark chocolate is just pure autumn Heaven. If you have read any of my previous post I am a bit of a chocolate snob and I tend to like higher quality chocolate . Let’s talk about this Chocoley’s Bada Bing Bada Boom Dipping Chocolate. This chocolate goodness is not only rich and delicious it is so easy to work with . I rarely melt chocolate in the microwave for many reasons, mainly it ends in disaster for me. This dipping chocolate melted beautifully in the microwave. If you love fall cookies you have to try my Pumpkin Eggnog Cookies a try.

Banana Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies

October 4, 2019 by Debbie 11 Comments

In my mind I knew I needed to be working on something other things but I had some overripe bananas staring at me. At my house I buy bananas and two things happen. Either the are gone in a day and I’m wondering if we got a monkey I didn’t know about , or they sit on the counter and over ripened. This week it was the later of the two. This is how these Banana Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies were born, nobody ate the bananas. I have several other recipes if you have bananas you need to use Maple Banana Cake or a little easier Apple Butter Banana Bread.

Chocolate Dipped Sugar Cookies

This past Valentine’s Day I chocolate dipped everything and it all started with this simple little Chocolate dipped sugar cookie. I dipped 189,987 strawberries, lol, and equally as many pretzel rods. I’ll be honest if I had more cabinet space I may have chocolate dipped even more things . In my opinion this cookie was the star of the show. This easy basic sugar cookie is one of my favorite recipes , and dipped in decadant chocolate it is over the top good.

Fluffy Chocolate Chip Cookies

July 26, 2018 by Debbie 23 Comments

I am going to be honest here, I am a cookie fanatic and these cookies are AMAZING!! Some warm fluffy chocolate chip cookies with a cold glass of milk is pure heaven for this girl. I am getting over a little illness and needed some comfort food…AKA chocolate chip cookies. One of our local super markets has these cookies in their bakery called muffin top cookies that are basically a fluffy cake like cookie. I have been on a quest to figure out how to make something similar . I have searched the internet on how to make cookies fluffier and came up with several ideas. One of the more interesting things I found was adding cornstarch to the flour mixture. I read it would soften the protein in the flour and make a more tender cookie. This little trick plus extra baking powder seems to have worked beautifully. I took my basic chocolate chip cookie recipe and altered it a bit and the results were fluffy, soft and super yummy. Another great cookie to try is Banana Oatmeal chocolate chip cookies.

Red Velvet Heart Cookies

Most people think of Valentines Day and they think of romance , fancy dinners, and flowers. All that is fine but I’m a fat girl so I think of chocolate and all the fabulous desserts that go along with this holiday. Seriously , I expect my favorite chocolates that come in heart shapes and they are hidden in my secret stash drawer for only me , LOL . Since red velvet is basically chocolate with red dye I decided to alter one of my favorite chocolate cut out cookies for this recipe. This is the perfect cookie for the kids to help with and send for classroom treats, or even for your valentine .

Chewy Molasses Cookies

I have mentioned in a previous post that I give home baked goodies during the holidays as gifts. This is a cookie that I have been making for years and it has slowly evolved into what it is today. Honestly I didn’t grow up making or eating molasses cookies. Imagine the HORROR, life without the spicy goodness of molasses cookies. A co-worker introduced me to this type of cookie years ago and shared her recipe with me. Originally her recipe had a frosting but I honestly like this cookie without frosting. I have also altered the spices over the years and added a pinch of this and that and finally the perfect molasses cookie that just oozes everything about Christmas. This recipe makes plenty of cookies for gift giving or serving a holiday crowd. Heck , leaving Santa some molasses cookies is a nice change from the old standard sugar cookie.
