Cake Mix Cookies

Over Thanksgiving I was at my Sister’s house and she made these delicious cookies.  When I asked for the recipe she said they were the worlds easiest cookies.  That was the understatement of the year.  These are the worlds easiest cookies by far.  They are also extremely tasty.  I ate about 20 of them. So [...]

Thin and Crispy Chocolate Chip Cookies

Well I have made many chocolate chip cookies but never intentionally made thin and crispy chocolate chip cookies.  I usually make thick and chewy cookies (my personal preference), but I wanted to see what all the fuss is with crispy cookies.  So I did a search looking for thin and crispy chocolate chip cookies.  To [...]

No-Bake Cookies

My Mom would always make these awesome chocolate cookies for me when I was growing up.  I recently asked her for the recipe.  Go figure, no-bake cookies require no baking.  One pan, a little parchment paper and 40 minutes.    Talk about quick treat.  I couldn’t wait to try mine so I had one right after [...]

Peanut Butter Cookies

The other night I was looking for something sweet to eat, but I didn’t have much in the pantry.  Most cookies needed brown sugar and I was out.  I also was lacking in chocolate and other sweet ingredients.  Then I found some peanut butter, but peanut butter cookies require brown sugar.  So I looked into [...]

Scottish Shortbread Cookies

Since it has been raining here in DC it has cooled off a bit.  Yesterday morning it was 65 degrees.  Perfect to read the paper and drink my coffee before work.  The only thing missing was the perfect accompaniment to coffee.  Shortbread cookies.  So today, I made some light and fluffy shortbread cookies.  This recipe [...]
