Chocolate Chip Muffins
I was just watching The Breakfast Club, and the minimal presence of breakfast food left something to be desired. I spent the entire time thinking about what I was going to eat tomorrow morning, and I finally settled on some muffins!
I’ve been trying to figure out a good use for my mini loaf pan (other than corn bread, of course), and I decided to go halfsies on the batter in this recipe...

Peanut Butter Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies
I made these cookies for my sister!
Honestly, when I make oatmeal cookies, I usually like for them to be… OATMEAL COOKIES. These include oatmeal, but I’d consider them to be a little more like peanut butter, chocolate chip cookies. Still delicious, but just know what you’re getting into before you make them. [[MORE]]

Double Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookies
In the last few weeks, I haven’t been able to go anywhere without seeing Girl Scouts hocking their cookies. Now, I went through the Girl Scout system from Brownies until Juniors, so I have definitely eaten my fair share of those delicious treats over the years. The thing is, after I started baking a lot, there’s something about the taste of store bought / boxed cookies that tastes a...

Brown Butter Peach Cobbler
This recipe is 100% boyfriend approved. Usually I sneakily try to make it less terrible for me by cutting the butter in half, but this time I decided to be nice and use all 4 tbs.
If you look at the source this recipe actually was for nectarines, but I’m not a huge fan of peeling them; because of this, the last couple of times I have baked this was with canned, pre-sliced peaches. This...

Coconut Thumbprint Cookies with Salted Caramel
One of the best parts about the iPad is that you can get magazines on it. Not only do the magazines add cute little animations, and the pictures look amazing, but you can easily save recipes as screenshots. I use this fridge mount to display recipes on the iPad (from magazines or the internet) pretty much 99% of the time I am cooking - it is super useful.
I mention this, because I found this...

Oatmeal Cookies
I REALLY don’t like raisins. As a result, I did not have a delicious oatmeal cookie until I took matters into my own hands.
Generally, I make these with chocolate chips, but I had some Mini M+M’s on hand. Really, any mix in would work. The recipe is provided below.

Holiday Bites
I first made these Holiday Bites (Pretzel Bites? M+M on a Kiss on a Pretzel? Generic Name for melting pre-made things together?) with my Aunt when I was in high school, back when you could still find pretzels shaped like little circles. In recent years, I have been unable to find those Hershey’s Kiss-sized pretzel circles, so I opt for the less-cute-but-actually-available option of...

Gingersnaps
Gingersnaps are a classic Christmas cookie. Additionally, if I didn’t make these, I’m not sure how I would use up all the molasses I bought specifically to make gingersnaps. It’s a vicious, delicious cycle. The recipe is provided below.

Super-Soft Snickerdoodle Cookies
It is almost Christmas! It is less than 2 months away, so I can actually start saying that now without people sighing too much. (I can’t, however, start decorating until after Thanksgiving…)
On that note, I can make the cookies that can be considered “Christmas Cookies” as long as I don’t go for the ones that look like Rudolph or Christmas trees.
This is actually the THIRD time I have made these...

Fluffernutter Cookies
I decided to start my blog with a recipe for Fluffernutter Cookies!!!
In the realm of food, I definitely prefer baking, but I plan on posting recipes that focus on cooking real food too. (Real food = things that prevent me from suffering from vitamin deficiencies.)
As my preference lies with sweet treats, the blog is themed / named after that . (Thanks Liana for the idea!)
Anyways, my goals...
