Sometimes, you just need a cookie. And then sometimes, you also need one at work the next day on a post-it plate.
These chocolate cookies with peanut butter chips are chewy and fudgey, and made me really popular at the office.
I received some lovely whoopie pie pans for my birthday. I had super grand plans for some holiday whoopie pies. I wanted to make these chocolate ones, but rolled in gold sprinkles, and these gingerbread ones, with the crushed peppermints. In my head, they were going to be beautiful.
Instead, the tiny whoopie pies baked to look like tiny muffins, I had to cut the tops off to make them look right, and I got frustrated and filled them with some leftover frosting instead. Not quite what I had in my head…
But after all that, its kind of hard to mess up a cookie/frosting sandwich. Tasty mistakes.
I got the baking itch the other day. I saw these german chocolate pecan pie bars on pinterest. I thought: I like german chocolate cake. I almost like pecan pie. I like desserts cut in bars. Might as well give them a try.
1. I have never toasted pecans before. Yay me. 2. Is that enough butter?
These bars are super rich. Yummy, but they will definitely kill you. I cut mine into tiny pieces, because I don’t want all my friends to get fat.
I have had these Rolo cookies in my cookie queue for a while now. They actually require me remembering to buy Rolos at the store, so they had to be patient. In the middle of making these cookies, my guy brought me some flowers, because he is just that kind of boy.
In exchange for the flowers, I gave the guy one of the chewy, chocolaty cookies. Ok, maybe he got two cookies because the flowers were oh-so pretty.
