Yesterday I made an amazing discovery. I love people and I love food. Well, I already knew those things, but here's the discovery. I bake because I enjoy it, but more because I love the people in my life and want them to have delicious things. I've made a decision. Someday, when I have my… Continue reading Emilys

Mountain Bar Bars
I love "No Bakes", or as my family calls them, Mountain Bars. We call them that because they look like the local confection by Brown and Haley (better known as the makers of Almond Roca). Peanut butter, chocolate, oatmeal -- yuuuumy! I'm calling these Mountain Bar Bars because they are all the ingredients of the… Continue reading Mountain Bar Bars
Double Chocolate Brownie Cookies
It's pastor appreciation month. And I think my pastor pretty much rocks. He also likes my baked goods. Which makes him even more awesome.

He used to have them in Australia, but hasn't found… Continue reading Double Chocolate Brownie Cookies

Puffed and soft, with just the right texture - these are… Continue reading Snickerdoodles – Take Two

They need to chill for 2 hours to get nice and firm before slicing. Sadly - that… Continue reading Glazed Lemon Cookies
White Chocolate Oatmeal Cranberry Cookies

However, once I substituted white chocolate chips and dried cranberries for the raisins in this recipe - the plain old raisin variety pretty much bit the dust. These cookies are just how a good cookie should… Continue reading White Chocolate Oatmeal Cranberry Cookies
Peanut Butter Cup Cookies
This is one of my all time favorite cookies to make. First of all, peanut butter cups are like the perfect treat. Bite sized, chocolate/peanut-y deliciousness. The only thing that could make them more perfect is to wrap them in a peanut butter cookie. I once had to remake these cookies three times between Thanksgiving… Continue reading Peanut Butter Cup Cookies
