Oat Couture
Take advantage of one truly great aspect of cookies by tailor making them based on preference or curiosity. A great base for oatmeal cookies can be transformed by the addition of raisins, white chocolate chips, apricots (Ooo that would be good!), a swirl of peanut butter, or any possible combination that is limited only by…
CocoMond Cookies
My Bearded Man Boy Husband lacks one highly sophisticated component to perfect a palette capable of fully appreciating the finer things in life, at least from a gourmet perspective.

Have Your Cookie and Frost it Too
This versatile and creamy concoction can be used to top anything that makes sense to be topped with chocolate frosting. Keep in mind, we are all different so what makes sense to you might not make sense to me. That is ok. I support anyone exercising their free will as long as it does not cause…
As American As Apple Butter

Needless to say, there were leftovers. A predicament of this magnitude had…

Light and chewy, these little circles feature the crunch of slivered almonds that double as a great nibble during the baking process. 1 ¾ Cup AP Flour 1…

Shadow Cookies
AKA Oatmeal Chocolate Chip What these cookies lack in thickness, they make up for in an immersive textural experience. Crisp edges, craggy oatmeal, and a softy chewy center rounded out with smooth chocolate… these wispy cookies are as seemingly simple yet actually complex as a shadow. While baking often requires precision, I often prefer to…
