Simple Yet Gourmet

These festive little cookies are so fun and delicious! They are intensely chocolatey with a fudgy, brownie-like texture.  So delicious even if you stop there, but to make these more festive I added in white chocolate chips and Reeses Pieces, then rolled them in sprinkles for an added pop of color! I left a few without sprinkles and liked that they weren't crunchy, but they also weren't as colorful so just do what you like.  You can play around with the add-in's too.  Halloween M&M's would be another great option, but you really can't go wrong here!  

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! 

                A homemade tomato sauce that does not require you to spend the entire day blanching and peeling pounds of tomatoes.  This is a creamy, easy and delicious way to use all of those home grown tomatoes you have this year.  Canned or frozen, the taste of summer tomatoes can last year around.       When I am ready to use it for spaghetti sauce, I add a pinch of sugar, some butter and spices to make an amazing sauce.  Is there anything better than fresh sauce on a cold January day? This is now my favorite sauce to make with roma tomatoes.
