I’ve learned a thing or two lately. I’ve learned that an octopus is an animal that is very shy and can die of embarrassment. Kinda sad, right? I’ve learned that homemade enchilada sauce doesn’t even need tomatoes. And I’ve learned that flower-shaped oreos can be made at home and can be flavored with hint of coffee. These are crunchy good. Next time I make them, I’d like to fill them with ice cream. Now wouldn’t…
PLEASE NOTE: I’ve remade/photographed these since. For the updated post click HERE. “Don’t fill up on cookies before dinner.” I always filled up on cookies before dinner. I grew up on these cookies. I’m sure my mom fed me the dough as a baby. When I was a bit older she’d always give me a taste of brown sugar when she was whipping up the dough. I also remember getting cookie dough in my lunch at school…
When this was baking, my kitchen smelled like an ice cream parlor … or maybe like a waffle cone. So, that’s probably reason enough to make this, right? I decided to use some of my miscellaneous chips for this. They look pretty, eh? Make these crunchy guys! Package them up for friends. Give them to your boyfriend! Leave them at home for when there is a snacking necessity. And look at that down there! These…
Sandwich cookies are a way to eat two cookies when you’d normally only allow yourself one. So there’s that. These cookies are so good you might want to just eat them as you sandwich them. I won’t judge you for that. I made half of the recipe below, so I ended up with about 15 duos. Did you know that half of 3/4 a cup is 6 tablespoons or a heaping 1/3 of a cup? I…
So these cookies are called Mrs. Fields cookies, but my mom refers to them as Megan’s Cookies. These are my most favorite and I hadn’t made them until now because I didn’t have a blender for the oatmeal! Ok… I’ve had a blender since last summer, so what’s my problem? Well, one of my friends is having a birthday today and he love love loves oatmeal chocolate chip cookies. So there you go. I made him…
Maybe someday I’ll live somewhere where my cactuses can live comfortably and not shiver on my windowsill. They are really mad it’s not summer. I’m kinda mad it’s not summer. Especially when I want to make a peachy fruity dessert of my dreams. Don’t worry though guys, it is really possible to have super delicious peaches despite the cold. While they may be cookies disguised as peaches, they are pretty and summery in a way…
I’m working on growing up. Sometimes I wear bright red lipstick. I (try to) wear high heels despite the icy sidewalks. And rumor has it adults eat oatmeal. If I’m an adult, and I can do what I want, I will have my oatmeal in a cookie and feel very mature about it. These cookies are brownie-esque since there is both cocoa powder and bittersweet chocolate involved. So yeah, they can’t help but be related…
Sometimes cookies are all you need. Especially when you walk to your car in the parking structure only to find it with a flat tire. It’s at moments like that, that you call the handsome bearded man in your life for a ride home and promptly make mini black and white cookies. The combo of these little cakey delights and all that christmas spirit I know you’ve got, is just the thing to make you…
The word “surprise” is a big deal to me. When I was little, I’d do any chore, wash any windows, endlessly search the house for things my mom couldn’t find, if there was a “surprise” for the reward. Because you see, a surprise could be anything! It could be a unicorn! …or a puppy even! Or in these cookies, it’s a peanut butter middle that is a pleasant surprise. Yum! And since the peanut butter…
I feel weird about singing in my car and casually looking over and seeing someone I know. It cramps my car-singing style. I feel weird about the fact that my chair at work is creaky since I’m incapable of sitting still. I can’t do it. I feel weird about my new bangs. They aren’t a big deal. I really shouldn’t care, but Jake says that things like bangs matter, so it’s ok to be complete girl about…
