Cookie Week - Amazing oatmeal cookies

I thought I would end cookie week with something slightly healthy. We're not talking applesauce and yogurt replacing all the butter.  No no no, it's not that time of year.  Yet.  I'm talking about healthy and delicious additions to these cookies.

Cooke Week - Peanut Butter Sandwiches

I can't have a cookie week without including peanut butter and chocolate. It is one of my most favorite flavor combinations ever. When my mom and I made cookies for Christmas, I would inevitably pick at least two or three PB&C recipes for us to make. Then I would promptly eat all of them. I can't make peanut butter blossoms because I will wind up downing the entire batch.

Holiday Gift Guide - For the Baker

The gift guides continue! Do you have a baker on your Christmas giving list this year? Being an avid baker person myself, I always love getting new tools and cookbooks for baking. A few years ago my parents surprised me with a Kitchenaid stand mixer of my own, the color I listed is the one that sits in my kitchen.

If you're not quite sure what your favorite baker already owns, you can't go wrong with filling a box with all those things that bakers run through like water.  I'm talking about cupcake liners, reusable piping bags, vanilla extract, sprinkles, chocolate chips. It would be not only a practical gift, but a pretty one!
