Peanut butter, chocolate and truffle… oh my! Doesn’t that sound like a heavenly combination? If you agree, then listen up! Cause these rich, chocolaty, truffle-y cookies will get you up off that chair, away from the computer and into your kitchen mixing together some dough like nothing you’ve ever seen before.

Oh my. Don’t these look classy?
I could just imagine inviting Michelle Obama or Queen Elizabeth over for tea and serving these.
If you’re a fan of the traditional Italian version, the you have to try these Monochrome Rainbow Cookies. Does vanilla, chocolate and peanut butter sound like a great combination? Ummm….. I definitely think it does!
They [...]

These Payday Bar Cookies are FABULOUS! Just a little bit of cakey-ness, some marshmallowy gooey-ness and tons of peanut crunchiness comprise todays featured cookie recipe.

These traditional Greek cookies are called Kourabiethes (Go ahead, just try to pronounce that one!), and are typically baked in a crescent shape.
But no matter what you call them or how you shape them, these are some darned good cookies!
I had a rather difficult time finding rose water though. Not easy to come by in [...]

Do rum-soaked raisins sound like a wonderful addition to a butter cream filling? Then you simply must give these fabulous concoctions a try. They have a light meringue base for the cookie, and the coffee and rum flavored butter cream are simply marvelous.

If ever there was a rugged cookie, this is it. A cookie that could saunter into a room in a hat and boots and make every woman’s head turn. A cookie with ripples and ridges in all the right places. A cookie so full of hot goodness, you just can’t help but stand up and grab it by it’s strong, hardy,ripley middle and plunge your teeth into it.

I feature many recipes from the blog I’m going to send you to today. Why?
Because her cookies are ALWAYS good! I’ve never had a bad cookie from one of her recipes, and today’s recipe for Maple Butterscotch Macadamia Blondies is no exception.
Man, are these good! I mean… that is…  if you like butterscotch, macadamia nuts [...]

If you are trying to avoid the “evil white stuff” (sugar and flour) then I’ve got a great holiday recipe for you!
These German Holiday Thumbprint Cookies are not only made with whole wheat, but are naturally sweetened and filled with healthy goodness.
And I can tell you from personal experience, these little goodies are both wholesome [...]

This recipe won the Pillsbury contest and it’s creator won…. you guessed it… 1 million dollars. Must be nice!

Well, I just had to give these cookies a try. I mean, who wins a million dollars for a stinkin’ cookie recipe??!

Well, I’ve finally tired of trying to reinvent the wheel…. sort of. I thought, this time, instead of trying to create my own cookie recipe from scratch, I’d try and adapt a recipe already floating around the Internet.

Oy, I found a good one! Not to sure the kids will like this, but they are really yummy for us grown-ups. After all, we need our kiddie-treats too, right?

I love the flavorful combination of these little bar cookie treats. I cut them small just like in the photo, and not only were they tasty, they were FUN to eat as well! Why are little bite-sized goodies always so much fun to eat? I sear, the smaller a cookie is, the more I eat of them. I don’t think I realize how many I’m eating when they are tiny. And let’s face it, tiny cookies have half the calories! (Please don’t burst my happy bubble.)

Cashews, M&M’s, and Ganache… oh my!

If you like a crunchy cookie, you’ll love these. It’s a bar cookie, but with more crunch and a fabulous “sweet and salty” effect. I added a little course sea salt to the top of mine, and I did thecaramel topping instead of the ganache…. for my first batch.

Is it a torte? Is it a cupcake? Is it a pie? No! It’s a cookie!

I love featuring cookies that have a little something different about them, and these Cherry Almond Cookie Pies are definitely different! But in a “rub-your-tummy-gotta-have-seconds-is-that-a-cookie-crumb-in-your-hair” kinda way.

I was trying to figure out what type of cookie to work on next, when a friend on Facebook asked me a question about peanut butter cookies. That got me thinkin’…
I’m not sure if my taste buds are changing as I get older or what, but I’m kinda coming around to peanut butter. I think [...]

Seriously, there isn’t much I can say other than you HAVE to make these cookies. The photos speak for themselves. These Cookie Truffles will blow your mind.

Pumpkin and butterscotch. Could there be a better combination this time of year? Me thinks not!
These Pumpkin Pie Bars are somethin’ straight outta pumpkin heaven! I just loved them! The oatmeal flavor mixed with the pumpkin really made me want to settle in by the fire, light some candles in my jack-0-lanterns and watch a [...]

Done right, Macarons have a fabulously chewy texture (at least in my opinion.) All that chewy goodness coupled with a chocolaty ganache is just to die for. But then, if you go and add Nutella to the mix….!!

I was on twitter, where I follow @dominosugar. They had posted about a recipe on their web site called Pumpkin Scotchies. They sounded wonderful, but I wanted to come up with a naturally sweetened version since I haven’t done a naturally sweetened recipe for a while. So this is my adaptation of their recipe.

Oh yum.
These Lacy Honey Wafers could almost qualify for a chocolate chip cookie, but not.
Did that make any sense? No? Well, you’ll know what I mean when you bake them.  My little bit of craziness will all make sense then, I promise.
I realized over the weekend (while attending the BlogHer Food Conference in San Francisco), [...]

Dear God,
Today is a sad, sad day.
Today, I mourn the loss of a beloved family friend. She has been part of our family for nearly 30 years, and I will miss her dearly.
My only consolation is that I have the fabulous recipe that killed her.
It’s the kind of recipe you bake in heaven, God. And [...]

I love a truly unique cookie. Something that’s completely different than what I’m used to baking. Something that touches my taste buds and makes them stand at attention. Something that says, “mmmm, you’ve never had these before!”
Well, that’s exactly what happened when I made these Buttermilk Pistachio Squares. They were so good and so out [...]

I’ve been running across a lot of chocolate chip cookie recipes lately.
I’m not sure if it’s the time of year, or if there is just some universal force that wants me to bake more chocolate chip cookies. Either way, you won’t find me complaining. I do love me some chocolate chip cookies.
One of my goals [...]

Well, I must admit I’m a bit embarrassed by my rant yesterday. I humbly apologize and beg your forgiveness. A bad day is a bad day, and I’m afraid I forced you into being a part of mine. So I do apologize.
And to make up for it, I’m giving you kisses. Lots and lots of [...]

Today has been quite a day. My little guy had to get blood drawn (always a huge ordeal), and the doctor can’t tell me what’s wrong with him (based on his last set of tests).
Great. That always goes over well with concerned parent’s, doesn’t it? I mean, how many years of medical school does a [...]

I gotta tell ya, I’m not a peanut butter fan. I’ve said this again and again, and yet I always seem to end up with some peanut butter cookies at least a couple of times a month. It never fails.
Fortunately, my husband loves this dilemma. He’s a total peanut butter man. This is the reason [...]

Nutella is an amazing invention. It’s such a wonderful treat to keep in the house. I just love the creamy texture and hazelnut flavor that little jar provides. It’s such a unique flavor all on it’s own. Very European.
So it stands to reason that it would be really good baked into a cookie. And you [...]

Oh dear. I think I’ve really lost my noodles this time. Or should I say cookies. Is it better to say I’ve lost my cookies? No matter. It’s all a bit of flour one way or the other, right?
If you read my blog regularly (I’m sure you do. You do… don’t you? Of course you [...]

It’s a sickness. I realize this. They should make medication for people like me. Is there some sort of stalker law for cookies? I should be locked up.
Here is yet another wonderful recipe for chocolate chip cookies. But this one adds almonds! Ya, these are pretty tasty.
If I die and go to Heaven, there will [...]

I do love a good Florentine cookie. But I’d never had one with a ginger flavor before. So I was all to eager to give these a try.
They took a bit of time to make, but they were worth it.
I made two batches. For the first batch, I followed the recipe exactly. But somehow, mine [...]

Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy! I found a fabulously gooey cookie recipe for you!
There’s just something about a wonderfully gooey cookie that gets my eye twinkling and my toes wiggling. I just love to bite into a fabulously sinful, ooey-gooey, rich and chewy cookie.
If you do to, then these Chewy Chocolate Chunk Cookies with [...]

These Peanut Butter Cornmeal Cookies really sounded a bit strange to me. I mean, cornmeal with your peanut butter? Hmm….
But I’m always up for something new, so I dutifully went down to the store to purchase my cornmeal. I came home, and whipped up a batch of these pretty easily.
For me, the jury is still [...]

Eggless cookie recipes are one of my most popular categories here. Apparently, there are a lot of you who need to shun the little oval white doo-hickeys.
Personally, I love em’. I eat them all the time. But I totally understand the allergy thing. There are certain foods I just cannot eat. So with that in [...]

These Lemon Pistachio Sandies are fantastic.
I baked up a batch to take to a potluck last week, and they were gone in under 15 minutes!!! Everyone wanted to know the recipe. And of course, I told them if they wanted it, they’d have to visit my blog.
I can be a little mean like that sometimes. [...]
