Oatmeal Lace Cookies
These oatmeal lace cookies are thin and chewy with a crisp edge and buttery brown sugar flavor! So, my plan was to get this post live yesterday, but then I came down with something and I could barely keep my eyes open, let alone stare at a computer screen. To be fair, I’m pretty sure…

Grinch Crinkle Cookies
Festive, cakey cookies that bear a strong resemblance to a certain Christmas Grinch!

Maple Bacon Snickerdoodles
This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Bob’s Red Mill. As always, all opinions are my own. If you’ve spent any time around here at all, you probably know a few things about me: I love bacon. I love cookies. I love chocolate. I have anxiety, and baking is my outlet…
Fluffernutter Cookies
The classic New England fluffernutter sandwich is turned into a cookie! Thin, chewy peanut butter cookies are filled with swirls of marshmallow fluff. Fluffernutter sandwiches are a New England staple. So much so, in fact, that it’s considered the unofficial sandwich of Massachusetts (and has been proposed to be the official sandwich). Additionally, there is…
Brownie Cookies
The perfect combination of brownie and cookie! Crisp and crackly on the outside, chewy and fudgy in the middle with an indulgent dark chocolate flavor. I have been trying to get these cookies right for well over a year. They always turned out too thin, or too puffy. They didn’t develop any crinkles, or they…

Buckeye Ramen Haystacks
Did your parents ever make you buckeye balls growing up? I used to make them every time my extended family got together and I always had a hard time not eating the entire batch. I was always tempted to grab the tray and lock myself in my room and inhale all of them, snorting and grunting along the…

Vegan Snickerdoodles
Let’s take a break from #llamadrama and #whatcoloristhedress and talk about #snickerdoodles for a minute. I recently discovered that everyone and their mom does NOT know what snickerdoodles are.

Homemade Petit Écoliers
Several of my coworkers have things they are passionate about. Very passionate. Let me give you a quick rundown: One loves cats and is a self-proclaimed “crazy cat lady”. One loves elderly pugs and collects them like trading cards (all jokes aside, she fosters many dogs and it’s a truly wonderful thing that I wish…
Leftover Candy Cookies
An easy way to use up leftover holiday candy using a basic chocolate chip cookie recipe. Chewy and chock-full of flavor! At my age, trick-or-treating is frowned upon. If I dress up as Batman and wander door to door asking people for food, I’d probably get arrested. Or at the very least, scolded and have…
Peanut Butter Stuffed Chocolate Cookies
One of my family’s traditions has always been Buckeye Balls. We made them at holidays and it always ended in a huge, peanut buttery, chocolately mess. Now mind you, as a child I didn’t mind being covered in chocolate and eating the peanut butter balls that fell apart when I tried to dip them….
Mint Chocolate Whoopie Pies
I have a confession to make: I don’t like Whoopie Pies. I know, I know – I live in New England and I don’t like the staple dessert that everyone seems to lose their marbles over. I’m sorry, but I just don’t get it. Why are they so great? It’s cake-like cookies with Marshmallow Fluff…

Conversation Heart Cookies
Don’t bother with those awful, chalky conversation heart candies – make these soft, chewy sugar cookies instead!

Regardless, I hated them….
