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

Breakfast Cookies
I'm always trying to find new ways to use up bananas. Somehow, there are always a few growing freckles on my counter. Banana bread or delicious Monkey Bites are usually what I bake up, but a breakfast cookie intrigued me. These "cookies" have the texture of baked oatmeal, but since they're dropped and baked on… Continue reading Breakfast Cookies
Chocolate Chip Pretzel Cookies
I'm kind of in love with the combo of pretzels and chocolate right now. The salty and sweet together is just divine. There are a few photos of this type of cookie floating around on Pinterest and I've been dying to try one. After reviewing a few, I decided the ratio of cookie to "other… Continue reading Chocolate Chip Pretzel Cookies
Apple Oatmeal Cookies With Brown Butter Frosting
I'm pretty conflicted about sharing this recipe. On the one hand, the cookies taste delicious. They are kind of like an apple crisp cookie. They have chewy oats and sweet apples with a hint of cinnamon. Delightful. On the other hand, I'm pretty sure the recipe was missing a key step. Chilling the dough. My… Continue reading Apple Oatmeal Cookies With Brown Butter Frosting
Oatmeal Raisin Cookie Waffles
It's time for me to fess up. I adore oatmeal raisin cookies. I know they get no love and, when compared to chocolate chip they are the wallflower of cookies. But I love them. These waffles have all the flavor of plump sun-kissed raisins and hearty oats, AND you get to top them with butter… Continue reading Oatmeal Raisin Cookie Waffles
Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Shortbread
I have been overwhelmed in the past week or so to the response to my Reese's Peanut Butter Bars. God bless Pinterest. As a thank you to everyone who's expressed their delight at the peanut butter/chocolatey goodness of those treats, I bring you another equally decadent dessert. These buttery, melt-in-your-mouth shortbread cookies are infused with… Continue reading Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Shortbread
Lofthouse Style Sugar Cookies
You've heard me say frequently that I don't have a crazy passion for peanut butter and chocolate. Bizarre, I know. I feel this is a total deficiency of character. I would blame my maker, but I'm pretty sure He knew what was best for me in not giving me that particular food obsession. What God… Continue reading Lofthouse Style Sugar Cookies
Orange Creamsicle Cookies
What's orange and white and delicious all over? Ok. Besides candy corn. Creamsicles!! Fresh orange sherbet with creamy vanilla ice cream. Cold and melty and just perfect. For summer. So why am I making a creamsicle cookie in the midst of a snow threat? Well, it's simple really. During the winter I keep my house… Continue reading Orange Creamsicle Cookies
Butter Pecan Cookies
Any recipe that starts with "butter" can only be awesome. Add in pecans and you've hit cookie nirvana. I got turned on to the idea of making a pecan cookie last week when my friend over at Rumbly in My Tumbly made some Pecan Sandies. I always get great ideas from her and the cookies… Continue reading Butter Pecan Cookies
Cinnamon Roll Cookies
I love good cinnamon rolls. So it only stands to reason that I'd equally adore a cookie made in the image and likeness of my favorite sticky bun. However, I had no clue how much these adorable little cookies would strike my fancy. Like a flat cinnamon roll, without the guilt of eating a pastry… Continue reading Cinnamon Roll Cookies
