Did you know that May 15th is National Chocolate Chip Day? Not that I needed an excuse to make these delicious cookies, but it sure does not hurt right? I am making these because I have not baked cookies in a while.

These are really good by the way, my favorite chocolate chip cookie recipe ever.

This recipe given to me by a sorority sister (are there any Gamma Phi Betas in the house?),  a very long time ago. Before smartphones, …before cell phones, …before email….see told you it was a long time ago. Anyway, these cookies are super delicious and worth trying.

Nutella Cookies

Did you know that today is World Nutella Day?  World Nutella day was created by a blogger in 2007.  Not that I need an excuse to bake with Nutella.  But I do need to cheer myself up since the 49ers lost on Sunday. They were so close.

So now I have two excuses to make these Nutella Cookies. That is one more than I need.  These are soft and chewy and are really good.

Gingerbread Drops

Gingerbread Drops

Today I am sharing an easy cookie recipe.  These cookies are the soft and moist and are great during the holiday season.  They are one of my daughter’s favorite cookies ever.  These cookies are great for making gingerbread men and are known as molasses crinkles, as well.   I am using them two ways, this is the first.  I used the other half of the dough for another recipe which I will post later this week.  These go great with a cold glass of milk.

 

3/4 cup butter, softened

1 cup packed brown sugar

1 egg

1/4 cup molasses

2 1/4 cups flour

1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda

1/4 teaspoons of salt

1 teaspoon cinnamon

1 teaspoon ginger

 

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.  Mix shortening, sugar, egg and molasses. Sitr in remaining ingredients.  Roll dough into balls about the size of a quarter in diamater.  Dip balls in water, then roll in sugar.

Bake 10-12 minutes.   Let cookies cool.  Drizzle with buttercream frosting.

 

What is your family’s favorite cookie?

Peanut Butter & Chocolate Chip Cookies

October 18, 2012 · by · 18 Comments
Chip Happy

The other day I wanted to make some cookies for my son and he loves Reese’s peanut butter cups, so I decided to make my own version in a cookie.  So here is my recipe for Chocolate and Peanut Butter Chip Cookies.

2-1/4 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup butter, softened
3/4 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 eggs
1 cup chocolate chips
1 cup peanut butter chips

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Cream together butter, sugars and vanilla until combined.  Add eggs and mix together.  In a separate bowl, mix together flour, baking soda and salt.  Add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients.  Add both chocolate chips and peanut butter chips.

 

Don’t they look happy together? Drop cookies onto greased or coated cookie sheet and bake 8-10 minutes.

 

 

 

They really do taste like a peanut butter cup in a cookie form! They also keep well in an airtight container.  I sent these to him at college through the mail and he said they tasted great.

 

What is your favorite candy? Have you had it in a cookie?
