Holiday Gingerbread Cookie Bars

Image
These chewy Holiday Gingerbread Cookie Bars combine rich molasses with ginger and cinnamon for a spice filled bar with added M&Ms! A quick and easy alternative to making gingerbread men for your holiday dessert table. One of my favorite things about the holiday season is baking. Cookies, brownies, cakes, pies � I love to bake all my family�s favorite treats while adding special holiday touches, like in these Gingerbread Cookie Bars. For me gingerbread is one of the classic holiday flavors that I have to make every year! My family and I always make a gingerbread house of some kind, and we enjoy making and decorating gingerbread men too.  But a holiday creation like this Gingerbread Noah�s Ark takes days to make, and even rolling out and decorating gingerbread men is an afternoon long activity. Sometimes I want the gingerbread taste without the fuss, which is what this recipe delivers.  This gingerbread cookie bar recipe is quick and easy so it takes only a few minutes to de...

Chocolate Salami Recipe

Image
The first time I saw a slice of chocolate salami, my heart skipped a beat. Imagine the consistency and richness of a chocolate truffle, but now imagine a whole roll of the stuff, peppered with tiny morsels of all your favorite things: candied ginger, pistachios, almonds, and crispy amaretti cookies� Chocolate salami is a very easy �no-bake� dessert (a lovely option if you�re not a fan of baking!) It also makes a great DIY gift to offer friends or family during the holiday season. (Wrap it up in kitchen twine to give it an authentic salami look and I can guarantee a few ooh�s and aah�s)  The salami log can be kept in the fridge for up to 1 week and brought out as needed, cut into slices, and served either as dessert after a meal, or on a tray alongside other holiday cookies. Ingredients : 10 oz dark bittersweet or semi-sweet chocolate 1 stick (1/2 cup) salted butter 1/2 cup almonds (can be slivered almonds if you wish) 1/4 cup shelled pistachios 1/4 candied ginger 1/2 cup crushed ho...

Christmas Lights Cookies

Image
Christmas Lights Cookies with a small batch of royal icing and mini M&Ms as Christmas Lights. Brace yourselves. I am NOT a cute cookie decorator. However, I pushed through and made these Christmas Lights Cookies to impress my kid. I saw a fuzzy photo of some cupcakes on Pinterest where they turned mini M&Ms sideways to look like Christmas lights on a string. I thought that was so cute and clever, but also: so easy, yet impressive. Big emphasis on the EASY. If I haven�t mentioned to you before, my Camille is very into M&Ms (she pronounces it yem-a-nems), and I know it�s because of the bright colors. I bought a bag of mini M&Ms for this, and set to work making a small batch of cut-out sugar cookies and a small batch of royal icing. Ingredients : 3/4 cup flour, plus extra for rolling 1/2 teaspoon baking powder pinch of salt 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened 1/4 cup sugar 1 egg yolk 1/2 teaspoon vanilla 1/4 teaspoon almond extract For the small-batch royal icing: 1 1/2 cups...

Image
These Homemade Milk and Cookie Shots turn a classic dessert into a moment of undeniable joy with family and friends. You�re going to love this sweet and unique dessert recipe! Any cookie tastes better with milk. And because I always like to shake things up a bit, I thought I�d share these milk and cookie shots which actually hold the milk you drink with the cookie. These milk and cookie shots are a classic chocolate chip dough, molded into the shape of a shot glass, which is baked and then filled with milk. How clever is that, right? INGREDIENTS : 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour 1/2 teaspoon salt 1 cup unsalted butter softened 1/3 cup sugar 1/2 cup brown sugar 2 large egg yolks 2 teaspoons vanilla extract 3/4 cup chopped milk chocolate chips Garnish: 1 cup milk chocolate chips Sprinkles and/or chopped nuts optional INSTRUCTIONS : In a bowl, whisk together the flour and salt.

Perfect Peanut Butter Blossoms

Image
Simple, classic and iconic, these peanut butter blossoms are Christmas baking at it�s best! They are soft & chewy (and stay that way!), coated in crackly, sparkling sugar, and have a chocolate Hershey�s Kiss in the center of each cookie. They are one of our all-time favorite Christmas cookies! When it comes to Christmas cookies, these are the first to be made in our house, every single year. Who doesn�t love a classic, perfect peanut butter blossom after all? They are soft & chewy with a crackle of sugar that each ball of cookie dough is rolled in just before baking and the Hershey�s Kiss provides the ultimate chocolate/peanut butter combination. We are especially crazy for them when the cookies are still warm and the chocolate gets all melted from the heat of the cookie before it sets up again. I�m not really sure when or why or how peanut butter blossoms came to be associated with Christmas since there is nothing inherently Christmas-y about them in terms of how they lo...

CRINKLY, CRANKY, GRINCH COOKIES

Image
The Grinch is a mean one. He doesn�t like Christmas nor does he like cookies. And that is ENTIRELY OKAY. Because, that means more cookies for you and me! SCORE! Now I ask, is all the Christmas joy including the music getting you down? Don�t worry! You can drown out the sound by baking a batch of these Grinch Cookies! But before you do, you might be wondering, do you have to make the red hearts too? Nope, not at all. In fact, since I made this recipe, I found you can just buy your own red heart candies and use them in the cookies instead. That will help get these made faster � no sharing required!

Soft-baked & thick pumpkin sugar cookies are topped with an easy pumpkin spice glaze.  More pumpkin coming your way today! In the form of deliciously soft-baked pumpkin sugar cookies. These glazed pumpkin sugar cookies were single handedly the downfall of my diet for the day. I�ve said it before but sugar cookies of any kind are my weakness. Like I literally lose whatever self control I have around them.  I�ve been really good about eating my salad for lunch each day but the day I made these cookies I realized that I had eaten quite a few of them so I decided to call it lunch.

Reese's Peanut Butter Pudding Cookies

Image
Fill your cookie jar with a batch of these Reese�s Peanut Butter Pudding Cookies today! Soft and chewy cookies are always a good idea. I love baking a batch of cookies at the beginning of the week to keep on hand for lunches and snacks. With three hungry kids in the house, they usually only last a few days. They take them to school in their lunch boxes, and I see them munching on them after school with a big glass of milk. It�s a good thing these cookies have lots of peanut butter in them. At least the kids are getting some protein along with the sugar, right? Yes, I just called cookies a source of protein. I know how wrong that is. It�s how my sweet tooth justifies all the sugary sweets I like to bake. There was an extra bag of peanut butter cups in our pantry this week, so I decided to add them to these Peanut Butter Pudding Cookies. It is such an easy cookie to change up based on what candy you have on hand. Ingredients : 3/4 cup butter, softened 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter 1/2 c...

BUTTERFINGER COOKIE BARS

Image
Soft and chewy Butterfinger Cookie Bars with a light, creamy Butterfinger frosting. It�s no secret that I totally have a thing for cookie bars. You skip all the scooping, rolling, and chilling, that often comes with making a batch of cookies, and instead, you press all of the dough into one pan, to make �bars� instead. The possibilities for cookie bars are endless. These are some of my favorites. These butterfinger cookie bars are HEAVENLY. The dough is kind of like a blondie. (Have you had blondies before? They are a non-chocolate version of a brownie). Thick, soft and chewy. Plus, you add 2 cups of chopped butterfinger bits into the batter, too. And if the cookie bars were not delicious enough plain, you top them with a light, fluffy buttercream frosting that also has chopped butterfinger bits in it. WOW. WOOOOOWWW. These were SO GOOD. Ingredients : 1 cup butter 1 cup light brown sugar 1/2 cup granulated sugar 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract 2 large eggs 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour 1 ...

Bake at 325 degrees for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown. Carefully remove to wire racks to cool completely. Transfer to a cutting board; cut diagonally with a serrated knife into 3/4-inch slices. Place slices cut side down on ungreased baking sheets and bake at 325 degrees for 12-16 minutes or until firm and golden brown, turning once. Remove to wire r...
