Peanut Butter Cookies
I’m in love with these cookies and they are now at the top of my list. The texture is ever so chewy and the flavor is bursting with peanut butter. Move over Family Fun Night Cookie! LOL. The only thing that I changed about this cookie was to replace 1/2 of the peanut butter chips with semi sweet morsels. Don’t change a thing though if your taste buds are craving peanut butter only ;-).
Easy Lemon Cookies
Lemon cookies are one of my favorites! Less than five ingredients make this recipe simple and fun to make with kids. I also like the fact that you don’t have to be Betty Crocker to make this recipe, making it great for someone who is just getting into baking. I didn’t have lemon extract on hand the first time I made this recipe but the lemon flavor still came shining through. Most reviews state to leave out the lemon extract and use fresh lemon juice in place of it to help out with the fruit loop taste that some have mentioned. I think trying the fresh lemon juice will help with…
Homemade Nutter Butters
This cookie was just a blast to make. I had so much fun recreating my version of Nutter Butters. They couldn’t have turned out any better than I had envisioned. I combined a recipe that I found on Allrecipes for the cookie and Martha Stewart’s recipe for the peanut butter filling. What a combo! Definitely better tasting than the store bought version. I omitted the shortening and used unsalted butter only, reducing it by 1/4 cup. To make up for the loss of butter I added 1/4 cup more of crunchy peanut butter ;-). I reduced both sugars by 1/4 cup just to lower the sugar a bit. I think these…
Chewy Chocolate Chip Cherry Cookies
I’ve been wanting to make this cookie for my mom ever since I saw it on someone’s blog. She loves cherries and will eat them fresh, in a jar, or dried. So when I stumbled across a recipe a few months back I kept telling myself that I need to buy some dried cherries and get this cookie in the oven. Well I couldn’t find the original blog post, not sure why I didn’t bookmark it, but I searched and found this one that seemed to fit the bill. I liked that the recipe already had a reduced amount of butter in it so I only ended up reducing the…
Vanilla Bean Sugar Cookies
I’ve been searching high and low for a vanilla bean cookie recipe to make so that I could try out some of my recently purchased vanilla bean paste. I can’t believe how long I’ve let it just sit in my baking drawer unused! I ended up finding a recipe on where else, Allrecipes. Did I ever mention why I love sites like Allrecipes? Well first off I’m a review-aholic and when I go on the hunt for a new recipe I love to read several reviews on it before making it. Now that I’ve found so many wonderful food blogs I can say that a photograph speaks just as loud…
Our Family Fun Night Cookie
Peanut Butter, Chocolate Chips, and Oatmeal make this cookie loved by all in our house! Friday Family Fun Night aka FFN is our night to spend time together as a family, enjoy a treat, and unwind from the week. We usually choose a family friendly movie, play charades (kids favorite!), or pick out a board game. The kids really look forward to popcorn and a homemade treat on Family Fun Night.
