The other day, during mid-afternoon I had a hankerin’ for something chocolatey and sweet. Then I thought of No Bake Cookies! These are some of my husband’s favorites – and they require no baking and are super simple to make. They are also way to easy to eat along the way 😉 I often forget…
These oatmeal butterscotch cookies are one of my favorite cookie recipes to make in fall and winter months. They are crispy on the outside, warm and gooey on the inside. The teaspoon of cinnamon gives the regular oatmeal cookie some added depth and the butterscotch chips give them an added perfect flavor. In the…
‘Tis the season for sugar and spice! The leaves are really starting to change right now, and we are noticing some brilliant shades of red, orange, and yellow. Next will come raking and leaf piles 🙂 As the days become a little chillier, and autumn is upon us, my kids were recently requesting some “gingerbread…
***This is a repost from a few years ago. But I’m reposting today because we make these family-favorite cookies every single fall. We recently made them for a hayride that we had out at the farm, and they were as perfect as ever. And they always make me think of one of my most favorite…
Although it’s been warm and humid in Iowa these past few weeks, I’ve been trying to shift my mind into fall. On the list, seasonal recipes of course! My sister gave me the recipe to these Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies as they are one of my nephew’s favorite fall treats. I was eager…
Seasons! Love them so much!! We’re moving into a new one here in the Midwest. Have you noticed? The days end earlier. The evenings begin sooner. The morning dew stays on the ground until noon. We remember our jackets when we go out the door. Locusts are singing louder and longer; chirping crickets serenade us…
Have you ever had a chico stick? It’s one of my favorite candies. The crunchy texture and unique combination of coconut and peanut butter are irresistible! (They always take me right back to childhood visits to the pool where I’d buy one for 40 cents). Well, its for those reasons exactly why I love these…
It wouldn’t be fall without_________________ (insert your favorite fall noun here). For me, I would choose either apple crisp or colorful leaves. My kids would probably respond with pumpkins or sugar cookies or decorating cookies. So, what does make your Fall? I’d be curious to know. For some of us, it’s undoubtedly food and recipes, others may…
No joke. That’s what the recipe card is entitled, “Delicious Cookies!” This is a very old recipe of my mom’s. Our neighbor was Agnes, my grandmother’s best friend. She and my grandmother were great cooks, so I know this will be a good one. It calls for oleo and oil. Whew! It ought to be…
I am a complete peanut butter and chocolate addict. I love the two together. Do you know those chocolate covered Reese’s Easter eggs with peanut butter in the middle? The peanut butter creaminess in them is amazing. They are just the right amounts of peanut butter and chocolate combination, which to me is like a…
Monster Cookies…aren’t as scary as they sound – kids’ eyes may widen at the name; however, don’t be fooled – they are just a handful of everything wonderful in a cookie. 🙂 That’s why we like them so much. Years ago, (around the same summer when I became a new mom), I was asked to…
I’ve got this old friend of mine, Jill. When I say old, I don’t mean in age (cause she’s younger than me and I’m not old, right?) but as in one of the friends I’ve known the longest. We’ve known each other since we were little girls. Below we are pictured together…
Have I got a deliciously decadent recipe to share with you today!! Drum roll please…. Sea Salt and Pretzel Dipped Chocolate Chip Cookies! Stop what you’re doing right now and make some of these. Recently my girls asked if they could try a new recipe. Everyone in our house loves their chocolate chip cookies, but they…
So……..the Christmas decorations are almost loaded and placed back in the storage room. 🙁 The holders for the CDs have been found…..CDs back in and sadly stacked in a cupboard for late November of 2017. 🙁 The goodies are just about gone–really sad….. however, we are still pulling out a plastic container from the fridge…
The month of December is here and I am just making a small dent on my list of holiday baking. There are so many wonderful favorite cookies and desserts this time of year that are filled with: dates, chocolate, peanut butter, peppermint, candy canes, frosting, sprinkles, almond bark, nuts, toffee – you name it……
Big white pieces of snow are beginning to fall as I write this post…the anticipation of Christmas is here! It is the most wonderful time of year. With each new day, the countdown continues as we get closer and closer to this beloved holiday. I found this really fun advent calendar to do with kids. It provides…
