Today was dentist day. Now, I don’t mean any disrespect to dentists, but they terrify me. I realized that it was high time I bite the bullet and go for my “regular” cleaning, so I called them up and I knew things were not going to end well when the conversation went something along the […]
Dark Chocolate Mint Crackle Cookies
Is it really Saturday already? I’ve been pretty absent from the blog scene, but I can tell you I have a much cleaner house because of it, not to mention a gorgeous redone coffee table, 2 painted bookshelves, a painted chest of drawers, and a couple other items primed and waiting for attention. Here’s a […]
Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies
Can you believe it? Yet another peanut butter cookie recipe! You may recall my warning about the 2 kg tub of peanut butter needing to be used – sometimes I hyperbolize, but this wasn’t one of those times. My mom has been making these peanut butter cookies for as long as I can remember. They never fail […]
Surprise-Inside Caramilk Cookies
A chewy chocolate cookie wrapped around a piece of Caramilk chocolate bar – how wrong could we go today? Carl got this recipe from the chef father of one of the volleyball girls he coached in Ottawa, and I think it is the first time in his life he ever asked for a recipe. Being a big […]
Saturday Sweets: Peanut Butter Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies
Even more cookies! When you make cookies every week or so, you can easily get stuck in a rut of making the same ones, so you need a LOT of great recipes to cycle through to keep everyone on their toes. I think plain ol’ chocolate chip cookies are probably my favourite food ever, and […]
Caramel Chocolate Chipper Cookies
So named because they will make you chipper. Do people still use that word? Chipper? At least, do they use it to describe moods, or just in reference to a wood chipper? Sometimes I feel “chipper” is just the perfect word for the mood du jour. Either way – more cookies! If you’re like me, […]
The Best Chewy Gingersnaps
These are simply the best gingersnaps, because they’re classic, packed with flavour, and soft and chewy, but they don’t have cloves or nutmeg. Just ginger and cinnamon, two of the best spices known to cookies. If you like cloves and/or nutmeg, they can easily be added to this recipe (1/2 – 1 tsp of each) […]
Milk Chocolate Cookies
These are super simple, chewy, stay-soft cookies. I love chewy cookies. I know you crunchy cookie lovers are out there, and I must say, I will never understand you! If I can hear a cracking sound when I bend my cookie it is not the cookie for me. Around here, we go through cookies like water, which […]
