Salted Dark Chocolate Cookies
It’s Monday, and that means it’s cookie day. Because Mondays require cookies, that’s why. And because I woke up with a huge headache. AGAIN. I thought I had this headache thing licked after I read this awesome-sauce headache boo..
Apple Pie Cookies with Salted Caramel Frosting
I try to keep my writing on this blog pretty lighthearted and entertaining, but some days are not like that. Some days you want to curl up in a ball and listen to The Carpenters and eat Chubby Hubby. I remember when Robb and I were first married, a..
Cookie Sticks
The grocery store is my nemesis. We are locked in an eternal battle for power, and let me tell you, the grocery store is winning. Sometimes it wins by selling me things I don’t really want. Like candy and potato chips. Frequently it wins ..
