Chocolate Chocolate Mint Chip Cookies

Have you seen the new dark chocolate mint chips by Nestle?  I absolutely love mint, so I knew these were right up my alley!  -s is the cookie baker in our house, so he found a chocolate chocolate chip cookie recipe on Food Network, and used that recipe to make these most delicious cookies!

Oatmeal Toffee Chocolate Chip Cookies

These cookies were really good, although I thought the toffee kind of got lost in the cookie, so maybe add more toffee bits than the original recipe calls for.  This recipe is adapted from the oatmeal toffee cookies found in the December 2008 issue of Cooking Light.
Ingredients:

3.4  ounces  all-purpose flour (about 3/4 […]

Double-Delight Peanut Butter Cookies

One of -s’s coworkers requested that we make the grand prize 2008 Pillsbury bake-off recipe: double-delight peanut butter cookies.

Mexican Wedding Cookies

These cookies are just delicious. We found this recipe years ago at a Texas cooking site and have been making them ever since. They are easy to make, and since there’s no egg in the dough, it’s a great recipe for kids to help make.  Both of our kiddos like to taste as […]

Hershey Kiss Cookies

I have my aunt’s recipe for good old fashioned molasses cookies…the ingredients differ slightly, but the two recipes taste very similar. These cookies are really easy to make, and if you like these kinds of cookies this is a […]
