A very dark, rich chocolate cookie for the true chocolate lover; this recipe uses relatively little flour, resulting in rich, truffle-like cookies with the flavors of a brownie and cookie in one.  If I’m being honest, I don’t have a very large sweet tooth, but put anything dark chocolate in front of me and I …

These oatmeal cookies are a copycat and nod to the Little Debbie oatmeal cream pie cookies (sans the cream filling) I grew up loving as a child. They’re chewy, full of flavor and incredibly delicious. This recipe for oatmeal cookies is the chewiest, perfectly flavored melt-in-your-mouth good! They’re the closest thing to those Little Debbie …

Some days a simple chocolate chip cookie doesn’t cut it. Some days call for a thick, crunchy on the outside, chewy on the inside cookie bar. On those days you just want something extra…this recipe is for you! This is my grandma’s recipe for chocolate chip cookies, just baked in a rectangle pan – so …

Traditions are what make the holidays magical in my opinion.

Being we have two littles who are known to throw middle of the night raves, we don’t need help in the loss of sleep department. So when I chose Get …
