When I was growing up, my mom would often make cookies (She still does, in fact) and I have vivid memories of walking in the front door and smelling peanut butter cookies baking (odd, since she made chocolate chip considerably more often). More often than not, my mom would surprise me with a little dough [...]

Let me tell you a story. Once upon a time there was a very pregnant woman and she was constantly hungry due to the fetus sucking the life out of her.
One day, the gigantic pregnant woman was sitting at work, ready to eat her arm off from hunger. Suddenly, her boss walked in carrying an [...]

These cookies have been making their rounds on cooking blogs for a while now. It seems like every time I open my Google reader there’s another The Chewy post. But, I understand why! YUM!
However, Brian and I decided that The Chewy was a bit misleading. We didn’t find them chewy, so much as fluffy. Almost [...]

My mom used to make these cookies often when I was growing up and I LOVED them, but since moving out on my own, I’ve misplaced and subsiquently forgotten about her recipe. When these cookies showed up a few times on food blogs in my Google reader I decided I absolutely had to make them [...]

I absolutely love gingersnap cookies, but I really prefer my cookies to be softer, chewy-er than the traditional gingersnap is. Enter: These cookies. They’re marvelous. As a matter of fact, I made them last week and the next morning all but 5 of them had already been eaten. Apparently The Husband liked them too [...]

You know what is a beautiful side of pregnancy? Cravings. I haven’t had many of them this time around, so when they strike I think it’s really important that I pay attention to them. So tonight, I suddenly thought to myself “You know what sounds amazing? Peanut butter cookies!” I immediately went to the cupboard [...]

I really like to try and justify eating crap-for-you foods. Ice cream craving? Oh, that’s dairy. You need calcium. You don’t want osteoperosis, just ask Sally Fields and her Boniva commericals.
Pasta? Oh, it’s carbs for energy- you marathoner, you.
Chocolate? Um. Duh.
So I have a heyday with oatmeal cookies. Hello, that’s practically health food, right? Right? [...]

Every week or so I ask my husband what kind of cookie he’d like for the coming week. His inevitable answer: Chocolate chip cookies. Fortunately a) he’s happy to try other types of cookies in addition to the chocolate chip cookie. And b) there are a million different chocolate chip cookie variations out there for [...]

I’m a die-hard Nestle-Tollhouse Chocolate chip cookie fan, but I’m always open to new recipes too. This recipe was actually pretty similar to that recipe, but with a few slight variations that apparently make all the difference in the world. They’re amazing!
Ingredients:
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted [...]

What? What was that? I’m sorry I couldn’t hear you over the sound of how AWESOME these cookies are! My husband is a HUGE oreo fan. He’ll eat a whole row of oreos in one sitting. So when I came across this recipe a few weeks ago it immediately moved to the top of my [...]
