Triple Chocolate Cookies! YUMMY!!!!

When my daughter and I were shopping for her new school clothes a few weeks ago, we stopped at the mall food court to recharge in between stores and grab some lunch. We went to a little cafe/sandwich shop there that had these amazing little triple chocolate cookie chippers that my little one and I have both been craving ever since.

Of Course, she wanted me to just go back and buy more, I however decided to try to recreate the recipe at home...you know so that we could have them over and over instead of just when I have time to go to the mall. It's a baking version of the whole teach a man to fish, he'll eat for life philosophy... kind of deep for a cookie craving, huh?!

Anyway, we mostly just went with the recipe of the back of a bag of Nestle white chocolate chips...the results were pretty close and we ate them all in about 24 hours! (All 8 of us...not just my daughter and I!)

Wihisk or sift together your dry ingredients.

Cream together butter and sugars.

Beat on medium high until fluffy.

Add in the dry ingredients and mix until incorporated. Add in the chips.

Press the dough out onto a piece of wax or parchment paper. Form it into a rectangle about 1/2" thick.

Cut into 1" squares.

Place on cookie sheets about 1 1/2" to 2" apart.

Bake for 10-12 minutes.

Allow cookies to cool on the cookie sheet for a minute before moving them to a cooling rack to cool completely.

Now try not to eat them all in one sitting! : D

Whisk together flour, cocoa, baking soda and salt in a bowl. Beat butter, both sugars and vanilla together in a mixing bowl until fluffy and creamy. Add eggs, one at a time, being sure to mix in completely between additions. Add flour mixture in a bit at a time, scraping the sides of the bowl with a spatula when necessary. Add in both chips and stir until well incorporated.

Place a large piece of parchment or wax paper down on a flat surface like an island or counter. Scoop the cookie dough out on to it and flatten into a 9x13 sized rectangle, about 1/2 inch thick.

Fruit & Nut Granola

I love having granola for breakfast! I remember always wanting to have some granola whenever we had it in the house as a kid, it seemed like the kind of food grown ups ate, sort of like Grape Nuts only way better! The biggest down fall to granola is the really yummy stuff is sort of expensive, especially if it has lots of fruit and nuts, just the way I like it! That's fine though, they can keep their expensive granola because this stuff is so simple to make at home! It takes almost no time and the joys of making it yourself is you know exactly what is going into it and you can customize your ingredients depending on your tastes! Like I said, I love mine with lots of fruit and toasted nuts so I tend to use quite a bit of them in my recipe. Feel free to adjust this to your tastes and try out different ingredients like coconut and various seeds, nuts and fruits. In a medium bowl combine your oats and sunflower seeds. Roughly chop you...

Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cupcakes

As we all know, Halloween is this Sunday and as a result, many schools are having parties and my daughter's preschool was no exception. I had tons of ideas of what I wanted to make, but in the end, me being me, I decided on cupcakes. I went back and forth, from red velvet, to cream filled, until I finally decided to go with some of my all time favorites and make the pumpkin chocolate chip cupcakes from Love and Olive Oil . I made these last year in October and brought them to my best friend's house and she fell in love with them, so much so that I made a cake version of them for her party. I had one problem though this time, the frosting listed with the recipe just never turned to frosting. I have made it before and it is delicious and has turned out well both times, but this time I just couldn't get it to work. I don't know if it was because I tried to double the recipe, if I over-heated the egg whites or if I didn't have the mixer speed ...

The cookie that has it all: Double Chocolate Pretzel Peanut Butter Cookies!

So I'm not sure how many of you know how I feel about peanut butter and chocolate but I might have tossed around words like "God's gift to food" or "the most yummiest thing of all time" in the past. Long story short, if I could only eat one thing for the rest of my life you can be assured that peanut butter and chocolate would be main ingredients in my choice. That is why I was so captivated by these cookies I saw posted over on Picky Palate 's page. They have chocolate, peanut butter and pretzels...and they are topped with a tiny bit of sea salt, bringing that whole sweet/salty combo that is out of this world! What more could you possible ask for in one small baked good? Nothing I tell you! Well, almost nothing in my opinion. I am not really a fan of white chocolate so I substituted semi-sweet chips for the ones added in but either way these truly are the cookies that have it all! For this recipe you are going to need some broken pre...
