Chocolate Chocolate Chip Cookies

This is the last cookie recipe of the holiday season and the last post of 2022. I always have to include some kind of chocolate cookie in the holiday cookie box. I’m a chocoholic so of course I’d say that. Most everyone loves a good chocolate treat too, especially after a heavy holiday meal. This year I’m making chocolate chocolate chip cookies. I first made these cookies back in 2015. They were phenomenal. The rating I gave them confirmed my memory. Remember when I did that? I used to rate recipes with a 5 rating chef hat system. I stopped …

Soft and Thick Snickerdoodles

Another day, another batch of cookies. Lately, I definitely feel like I’m making more cookies than “regular” food. Tis’ the season. 😉 Pretty soon it will be all about salads and healthy foods. Anyway, I had to add a batch of snickerdoodles to my list because they are classic cookies. These cookies are soft and thick. I mean, just look at the photos for proof. They are sweet and full of warm spices and honestly perfect 365 days of the year. Back in 2018 I made these snickerdoodles. Those snickerdoodles are thin and chewy but equally awesome. Now you have …

Sugar Kiss Cookies

These cookies get me into the Christmas mood. I always like to include a sugar cookie of some sort in my holiday cookie boxes.

I made these sugar cookies two years ago and they were a huge hit so I thought I’d make them again but add a little chocolate twist to them. Isn’t the sugar coating so fun and festive?! No wonder why these have gotten me into the …

Gingerbread House Mug Topper

Have you heard of gingerbread house mug toppers? If you’ve never heard of these before, they are miniature gingerbread houses that conveniently sit on a mug of your favorite beverage. I first saw gingerbread house mug toppers a few years ago in a chain retail store. They were ridiculously expensive (and still are) so I figured that I could make them for way cheaper. Fast forward to today, I finally tried making them from scratch. You will need: Guys, I’m horrible at frosting stuff. My gingerbread house experiences consist of graham crackers and an empty milk carton from school lunch …

Gingerbread Drop Cookies (Redux)

Oh my goodness, these cookies make my kitchen smell Christmas-y. I originally shared this recipe here back in 2015. Since many of you may be new around here, I thought it was worth sharing again. Why? If you love gingerbread cookies, then you will love these. If you love gingerbread cookies but don’t want to roll out cute gingerbread people shapes, then you will love these even more. These gingerbread drop cookies were a huge hit with me, my family, and friends. I gave them 5 out of 5 hats rating back when I used to rate recipes on the …
