Honey Roasted Peanut Chocolate Chip Cookies
It there anything better than a peanut butter cookie? I am not sure that there is. They are rich, moist, nutty, and they have a subtle savoriness that balances the sweetness making them easy to eat. When it is gift giving season I bake tons of cookies to give as gifts, and peanut butter cookies are among the most requested. I may not know your taste in clothes, perfume, or music, but I know cookies are almost always greeted with great...
Mocha Mint Cookie Cups

Usually they are all packed up in...

Rolled in red and blue sugar these are great for the 4th of July. If you...
Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Chip Cookies

Something about a cookie just makes me feel, when the stress of the season threatens to be my undoing, that everything will be ok, nothing is that bad, and I can cope. My flavor of the moment is chocolate and peanut butter. It is really, really working for me, so I took those flavors and made chewy, moist, deeply chocolate cookies studded with peanut buttery chips. They...
