Uncategorized Leave a comment

The other treat for the Bills win over the Dolphins – a vanilla version of little debbie brownie cookies.  I made my own white chocolate cocoa powder and used that.  I probably could have bought white chocolate cocoa at the grocery store,  but didn’t feel like going out again, so I made my own.

White chocolate cocoa ingredients

  • 1/3 cup chocolate chips
  • 1 cup instant milk powder
  • 2/3 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/3 cup sugar

Directions – in a food processor, chop up white chips for about a minute.  Add remaining ingredients and run food processor until a fine powder forms. 

Remember to scoop your flour from your flour bag into your measuring cup so you get the right amount.. also, chill the dough for a few hours.  And preheat your oven before baking.

Bake 12 to 16 minutes.  Cool completely

These came out a lot larger than I planned!

Perfectly puffy triple chip cookies

Uncategorized 1 Comment

I know most people don’t love cooler weather, but honestly, I am ok with it because the puffy cookies are back! (Also my hair is less of a battle to straighten). Today, I present puffy triple chip cookies, featuring semisweet, milk chocolate and white chocolate chips.

I used butter flavor crisco in this recipe, as well as cornstarch.

A reminder to scoop your flour from your flour bag into your measuring cup so you get the right amount. Chill the mounds of dough for at least an hour to prevent spreading. And preheat your oven for 20 minutes, so it cycles to the right temp.

  • 1 cup butter flavor crisco
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 tsp vanilla
  • 3.4 oz instant pudding mix
  • 2 1/4 cups flour (scooped from your flour container into your measuring cup)
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tbs cornstarch
  • 1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup white chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup milk chocolate chips

Directions – in a bowl, using a wooden spoon or rubber spatula, cream butter crisco, brown sugar and sugar. Add eggs. Mix in vanilla and pudding mix. Blend in flour, baking powder, baking soda and cornstarch. Blend in chips. Scoop out 1/4 cups of dough and form into mounds. Chill at least an hour in the fridge. Preheat oven to 350 degrees for 20 minutes. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper and stagger cookies. Bake at 350 degrees for 11 to 13 minutes. The bottoms will be lightly browned. The tops will be a little gushy, but will firm up as they cool and set overnight.

Store in covered container.

Triple chip cookies!

While my triple chip cookie dough was chilling in the fridge (I believe chilled dough makes for the best cookies), we took Gracie on her nightly walk. She gets 2 walks a day, yet is still chubby. That’s a story for another day. Anyways, she met 2 new friends. A beautiful white German Shepherd named Rory and a American Eskimo named Gretzky. Rob and both did a double take. Indeed the pup is named Gretzky. Her fiancee, like Rob, is a huge hockey fan, and Gretzky fan. A really cool moment. Onto the recipe!

  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 2 eggs
  • 3.4 oz instant vanilla pudding mix
  • 2 1/2 cups flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 cup chocolate chips
  • 1 cup white chocolate chips
  • 1 cup milk chocolate chips

Spread evenly into foiled pan. Bake 22 to 27 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in center basically comes out clean. The edges will be a light golden brown. While bars are warm, make the frosting.

  • Frosting ingredients

Oreo fudge topped brownies

The Bills got their first win of the season today in Miami, so victory Monday treats are in order. I went with fudge brownies topped with a fudgy frosting with crushed Oreos. A little over the top for only week 2, but I like to set the bar high.

Remember to preheat your oven to 350 degrees for 20 minutes before baking to make sure your oven heats up to the right temperature. Also, spoon your flour from your flour bag into you measuring cup so you get the right amount (and so the same with your baking cocoa)

  • 1/3 cup chocolate chips
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 tbs vanilla
  • 1 cup flour
  • 1 cup baking cocoa
  • 1 /2 tsp salt
  • 1 cup chocolate chips

Directions -preheat oven to 350 degrees for 20 minutes. Line a 9×13 pan with parchment paper and spray with baking spray. Set aside. In a microwave safe bowl, heat butter and chocolate chips in 30 second increments until you can stir smooth. Add sugar. Blend in eggs and vanilla. Fold in flour, salt, and baking cocoa. Mix in chips. Mixture will be thick. Press into prepared pan. Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center basically comes out clean. Cool completely.

  • Topping ingredients
  • 1 cup white chocolate chips
  • 1 cup milk chocolate chips
  • 6 tbs heavy cream
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 12 oreos, crushed

Directions – in a microwave safe bowl,melt both kinds of chocolate chips with heavy cream in 30 second increments until you can stir smooth. Blend in powdered sugar. Fold in Oreos. Frost brownies. Cut into squares. Store in covered container.

Rob, my chief taste tester, decided the brownie needed some marshmallow fluff

Thanks so much for stopping by today! I hope you have a wonderful day, filled with all good things. And, remember to be kind. The world needs more kindness!

White chocolate chip macadamia nut cookiss

This cookie is a request from my mom.  White chocolate chip macadamia nut cookies.  A pretty standard cookie dough.  I used a mixture of Crisco and butter.  You can do all butter or all Crisco, if you prefer.  I added an egg yolk for a softer cookie. I also added 1 tbs of cornstarch because they help keep the cookies puffy. 

Remember to scoop your flour from your flour bag into you measuring cup.  I also recommend chilling the dough for a few hours.  Also preheat your oven for 20 minutes before baking to get the right temperature.

For you, mama! ❤

  • 1/2 cup butter, softened
  • 1/4 cup Crisco
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup sugar

  • 2 cups flour
  • 1 tbs cornstarch
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1 cup white chocolate chips
  • 1 cup chopped macadamia nuts

Directions – cream butter, Crisco, sugar and brown sugar.  Add egg, yolk and vanilla.  Fold in flour, cornstarch,and  baking soda.  Fold in chips and nuts.  Scoop out 1/4 cups of dough. Chill a couple of hours. Preheat oven to 350 degrees for 20 minutes. Line a cookie sheet with nonstick baking liners. Stagger cookies. Bake 10 to 14 minutes (light golden patches on top). Cool completely. Store in covered container.

Looks like someone had a bite or two!

Cream cheese sugar cookies stuffed with carrot cake truffles!

Anyone who knows me knows I LOVE to make stuffed cookies, using Oreos, candy, brownies, etc. I made a carrot cake and instead of bringing the leftovers into work, I turned them into carrot cake truffles, covered in melted white chocolate, and stuffed in cream cheese sugar cookies.

Yes, I know I usually make Friday football treats, but I have a zoom call with college friends tomorrow, so this week they are TFT (Thursday football treats)
