When I was making these cookies, I had no intention whatsoever of making a yin yang cookie. I was just adding things to the mixing bowl and thought what could I do that would make these cookies a little different. So, my first thought was to keep half the dough vanilla and make the other half chocolate. Then when I started to put the two together I thought how cool would it be to make them into a yin yang symbol and that is what I did! They were so delicious and cute looking! This is a Crohn's Read More... [Continue Reading]

My favorite cookie as a child was M&M Cookies. I remember when I was a child they used to give us a free cookie from the bakery inside the grocery store and every time I would choose the M&M cookie. Now when I go to a bakery with my kiddos and they go to pick out their cookie they usually choose the M&M cookie too! Needless to say when I made these M&M Cookies for them they were super excited! Such an easy recipe to make and a great way to put a smile on someone's face! I hope Read More... [Continue Reading]

We love eating wedding cookies, yes they are messy but are oh so good!

This month our Blogger Recipe Challenge group was sponsored by SweetWorks, we were each sent a couple of bags of Sixlets to create some cookie recipes with.

I have to tell you, this recipe didn't come out like I wanted it too. However, the recipe is an amazing one that I will make again, just not what I was aiming for. I wanted to make jelly filled donuts, but since it didn't turn out tasting like a donut, I had to find a fitting name for it. Once again my husband helped me name it, so I give you the Apple Jelly Pokey. This is a simple and delicious recipe that is sweet, but not too sweet. I suggest having it as a breakfast treat for some of your Read More... [Continue Reading]
