Mint Chocolate Chip Cookies
Yes, not mint chocolate chip ice cream, but mint chocolate chip COOKIES! I know what you are thinking…”Rave, that sounds pretty weird. Not sure about that” …trust me, if you like mint and chocolate you will like these cookies. I was having one of those weekends when I really wanted to try a new cookie out and so I thought about all the things that I really love. Peanut butter…but I make those cookies all the time so I scratched that idea. Chocolate, OK that’s always a keeper :-). Caramel…yes, adore…buuuuut maybe not this time. EUREKA! Mint! Mint and chocolate is one of those combinations that I just cannot get…

Chocolate Chocolate Cookies
Well hello there…How was your weekend? That’s good. Mine was good too. I spent a lot of it wrapping Christmas presents. Oh yea, believe it…I have wrapped the majority of my Christmas presents. Which I am SO happy about! I am not just awaiting some snow…I want snow, wicked bad! I went to a party this past weekend and I wanted to make sure that I brought something. I decided to make some cookies and also an appetizer (post to come later). I didn’t want to make the normal chocolate chip cookies that I always make, although I do adore them. What can I make that is yummy, has chocolate,…

Holiday Shopping & Cookies
The Christmas shopping has commenced! I really like to get a head start on shopping for Christmas…it makes me feel so much better to be done a few weeks before Christmas and then all I have to do is wrap. Makes the holiday season so much less of a pain and so much less stressful! I am not a shopper…I know, I know. I am a girl but I just do not enjoy the crowds and the staying out for hours shopping, BLAH! I mean, I like presents ;-)…but I am by no means a “shopper”. Anyways, so this weekend I went to Yankee Candle to get some gifts for…

Halloween Cookies
Happpppppy Halloweeeeen!! 🙂 I told you all how my goal was to make some Halloween cookies with royal icing the other day. Well? I did it! I had so many people tell me so many awful things about royal icing. How it is hard to work with, how it doesn’t taste good, how you have to have a lot of patience to work with it. The only thing I found true about all the things people said about royal icing, is that you need patience. I personally thought it was not as hard to work with as a lot of people were telling me. I mean, I am by no…

Dark Chocolate & Reese’s Pieces Cookies
So, guess who is still sick? That would be Raven :-(. Can you believe that? I am struggling, I will tell you that. I thought this would be a couple days of being sick. I got a full 4 days of being sick under my belt so far. YUCK! To say the least I got absolutely nothing done this weekend besides cooking lots of goodies. Including the yummy looking cookies that you see to the right. I saw this recipe while I was cruising around FoodBuzz and it just looked so good that I had to try it. I changed it up a little to make it a little more…

Peanut Butter Chocolate Chunk Cookies
It’s cookie time! I was in SUCH a baking mood this weekend and I have no idea why. So I decided to try out a new recipe and man-o-man did it turn out well. I am one of those people who love simple cookies. Chocolate chip and oatmeal are two of my favorites. I wanted to make something that was simple but had a little extra ‘something’. Peanut butter! 🙂 Ingredients for Peanut Butter Chocolate Chunk Cookies: 1/2 cup butter softened (aka 1 stick) 1/2 cup peanut butter (I used creamy) 1 cup packed light brown sugar 1/2 cup white sugar 2 eggs 2 tablespoons light corn syrup 2 tablespoons…
