"I don't understand why so many 'so called' chocolate lovers complain about the calories in chocolate, when all true chocoholics know that it is a vegetable. It comes from the cocoa bean, beans are veggies, 'nuff said." I have no idea who said this. I found it online at one of those portals for quotes… Continue reading Dove Dark Chocolate Chocolate Cookies

Top Ten of 2012
New Year's resolution #1 is to get back to blogging. The whole, two kids in school at different times/becoming nothing more than a chauffeur thing has really thrown me off my game. Nevertheless, there were many brilliant recipes this year and so I bring you Bakerlady's Top Ten of 2012. By popularity (that means you… Continue reading Top Ten of 2012
Raspberry Oatmeal Cookie Bars
In the past several weeks I made two monumentally bad choices. Probably more, but these two will probably haunt me the rest of my life. The first mistake was trying salt n' pepper pistachios for the first time. Please hold your judgement until you find out the other thing I've never had before. Pistachios pale… Continue reading Raspberry Oatmeal Cookie Bars
Birthday Cake Cookies
I discovered the most disturbing thing last weekend. There are people who (brace yourself...this is earth shattering news) don't like cake. Seriously? I thought my crazy husband was the only genetically deficient (and I mean that in the nicest way possible) one. But apparently, there are more of you out there. One of them is… Continue reading Birthday Cake Cookies
Disneyland’s White Chocolate Raspberry Cookie
A few years ago I went to Disneyland on a mission. That mission was food. Glorious, delicious food. You see, I've been enjoying Disneyland pretty much my whole life. I went several times as an adult with my sisters and cousin. No kids, just four 20-somethings having a blast. I took a trip after the… Continue reading Disneyland’s White Chocolate Raspberry Cookie
Chunky Chocolate Chip Peanut Butter Cookies
Cookie Monster is a classic. A friend of mine shared this video with me saying this is how she feels every time I post a new recipe. She's so sweet. Enjoy a good laugh by watching this: A while back, this same friend gave me a cookbook full of deliciousness. I've loved everything I've ever… Continue reading Chunky Chocolate Chip Peanut Butter Cookies
Perfect Oatmeal Raisin Cookies
Chocolate is grand, but oatmeal raisin cookies will always be my favorite. Packed with hearty rich flavor and succulent raisins, these cookies are absolutely perfect. Big and thick, soft and chewy. I love them. I'd take these over any other cookie out there. Any day of the week. And twice on Sunday. Odd saying. Anyone… Continue reading Perfect Oatmeal Raisin Cookies
Perfect Every Time Sugar Cookies
I started a cake decorating class this week. Can I just say (while doing a little dance) "woo-hoo!". I'm incredibly excited. Can't wait to practice new techniques and learn how to make lots of beautiful things. For the first class, I had to bring blank canvases. Which, in a decorating class equals round unfrosted sugar… Continue reading Perfect Every Time Sugar Cookies
Ginger Molasses Cookies
You would never know it is the middle of June. At least not if you live anywhere near me. The famous line "It rains 9 months of the year in Seattle" is holding true. So far this month we're running below average for temperatures (hovering near the mid 50's...for a HIGH) and above average rainfall.… Continue reading Ginger Molasses Cookies
