More Cookie Pops


Different colors, different cookie recipe, more confetti - same look.  These are by far the best according to popular vote.

Cinnamon Rolls


I made Low Fat Cinnamon Rolls for Amie's visit this week.  I pounded out the dough a little too long so they were a little tough, but otherwise REALLY good :)


Cookie Press Experiment


For my birthday, I got a cookie press from Nick and Erin.  (Actually, I got a gift certificate and just cashed it in for the cookie press).  I gave it a go and here are the results.  According to the tasters, the vanillas are much better than the chocolate ones.

Chocolate Chips - Sweet Success


FINALLY perfected these dang things.  I tried 8 different recipes before I found this one.  Basically, I could now make you any kind you want.  Like flat and crispy?  Fluffy and cake like?  I can cover all of your chocolate chip desires.  Try me.

White Chocolate Chip Cookies


I invented a cookie!  Okay, so I am sure in the grand scheme of life I was not the first person to come up with this, but they are de-lish.  Great for the person that cannot have regular chocolate and still wants the chocolate chip cookie experience.

Thumbprint Cookies


Thumbprint cookies!  These are my absolute favorite cookies.  A bakery in my mom's hometown (Peoria, IL!) makes them and I get them by the dozen when I am up visiting.  Mom nicked this recipe from my granma's friend who swore it was the same... and it is!  

They can be filled with a dollop of icing, or chocolate and are AH-mazing. 


Cupcake Cookies


These were a HUGE hit in law school.  Ben calls them "crack cookies" because they are completely addictive.  Made out of cupcake batter, each cookie is basically a dense version of a cupcake.  I remember making them in law school for Wally, Stud, and I.  Wally and I would eat our respective shares immediately and Stud would save his.   Cookie by cookie, Wally and I would eat ALL of his as well.  Serves him right... leaving them there to taunt us.  Just cruel.

This particular batch got a little smooshed on their way to East Atlanta.  Wally assures me that it didn't effect the taste.
