Best Cookie Ever!!

I have been MIA for a little over a month....But no worries, I'm back. I've been so busy with school but I'm hoping to have more time from now on. I'm still pressed for time but I wanted to share one of my favorite cookie recipes. I know there's a lot of recipes out there for chocolate chip cookies but this is my absolute favorite. My good friend Diana shared it with me and I have to say that it was love at first bite. These cookies are thin and crispy and addictive! Due to my busyness I couldn't do my usual step by step but since I made these for my husband's boss on bosses day I wanted to share them with you.

What you need:

1 cup butter softened (2 sticks)

1 cup brown sugar

1 cup granulated sugar

2 eggs

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

2 cups all purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

1 teaspoon baking soda

3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon salt

12 oz. semi sweet chocolate chips

1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)

Love Cake Pops!!

Anyone who knows me, knows that I love making cake pops. When I make them I don't really eat more than one or two but I love the smiles I see when my kids, friends, or whoever bites into one of these little delicious wonders. This week I had the privilege of making a lot of these for some very special people and I hope they enjoyed them.

No Bake Strawberries and Cream Pie Step by Step

A few years ago my husband's good friend Rick gave him this amazing yet simple pie recipe. It is a simple creamy pie with yogurt and Cool Whip. If your in a bind for a dessert recipe I suggest you give this one a try. I am certain you will make it over and over again.

My husband, Ray is usually the one who whips this one up, but today I'm giving it a try.

Banana Nut Bread Step by Step

This recipe for Banana Nut Bread is a very special one. It means so much to our family. My mom was not much of a baker but this was one treat that we would all look forward to when she would make it. Her employer and good friend gave it to her many years ago and she kept the little recipe card with her ever since. The funny thing is my mom never knew how to read  so whenever she made it either me or my sister would have to read it to her. So from my kitchen to yours here is our family's treasured Banana Nut recipe.

Cake Pops Step by Step



I love making Cake pops, so for my first post I wanted to share step - by - step instructions on how to make a basic cake pop. It takes a little practice but once you get the hang of it you'll feel like a pro like the queen of cake pops Bakerella. I am a big fan and love all of her beautiful creations. The best part about making cake pops is watching someone you love bite into one of these little balls of chewy goodness and knowing that their taste buds are doing the happy dance.
