Oatmeal Toffee Chocolate Chunk cookies

These cookies may not look like much but as the saying goes, "looks can be deceiving!" Chocolate, toffee, and oatmeal combine to make a truly delectable cookie. I made these cookies when my sister Emmalee and her husband Jon, and my other sister Becky with her boyfriend Isaac came over. To say that they liked these cookies is an understatement. The plate of cookies was devoured in about 10 minutes. Okay, okay, so I had a few myself. What can I say? They were delicious!

Oatmeal Toffee Chocolate Chunk Cookies

modified from a random airline magazine - who would've thought?

1 cup butter, softened

1 cup packed brown sugar

1/3 cup white sugar
2 eggs
1 1/2 tsp vanilla
1 tsp baking soda
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 1/2 cup oatmeal1 cup toffee pieces

1 cup milk chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Beat butter and both sugars until creamy. Add eggs and vanilla until well blended. Combine soda with flour, and mix into the butter mixture. Sitr in the oatmeal, and then add the toffee pieces and chocolate chips. Batter will be thick. Drop onto a parchment lined baking sheet by heaping teaspoons full and bake 10-12 minutes. Makes 4 dozen.

*These cookies will spread out quite a bit so leave plenty of room between them! Also, it's not a bad idea to grease your spatula because these cookies are sticky and soft coming out of the oven. Not to worry, they'll firm up once they cool.

Not Yo Mama's Banana Pudding (Re-post with a picture )

Does this dessert sound familiar to you? I originally posted it last Summer, but didn't have a picture at the time. I'm excited to be able to post this picture now so you can see how yummy it looks! I first had this pudding at a BBQ last Summer. One bite and I was hooked. This fabulous pudding sits on top of a layer of bananas and is sandwiched between two delicious cookies. Does it get any better than that? Banana pudding didn't used to be something I craved, but it definitely is now. It is Heavenly! Also, it's very easy to make. So try it out sometime. I bet you'll become a banana pudding fan too.

Royal Icing for Sugar Cookies

While I love my Scrumptious Sugar Cookie frosting , Royal Icing is the way to go for decorated cookies that harden enough to stack and package. It definitely takes more time and patience, but the end result is so satisfying! You can make such fun cookies without having to worry about the frosting coming off. Royal Icing can get super hard, and while this is perfect for building Gingerbread Houses, it’s not so great when you want to actually eat the cookie. Not to worry though- adding in a little corn syrup helps the icing dry firm without being overly hard. I also like to add in my favorite butter vanilla emulsion to make the icing extra yummy, cause at the end of the day it’s not enough to just look pretty! There are a few different ways to make Royal Icing. My favorite method is using Meringue Powder. If you can’t find this or don’t want to buy it, you can use egg whites instead. Or, if you’re in a pinch you can make some with just powdered sugar and water. You can find some recip

Brown Butter Caramel Snickerdoodles

If you try one new cookie recipe this Fall, let it be this one!! I'm not kidding when I say that this is one of the best cookies I've ever made. They've already received rave reviews and comments such as, "Amazing!", and "Incredible!" These are not your average snickerdoodle, not that I have anything against the traditional ones, they are made with browned butter and extra brown sugar for a rich caramel taste. But wait, it also has a caramel center! And of course that classic chewy texture with a cinnamon/sugar coating. I could eat these every single day. They are SO GOOD you guys!
