S'more Cookie Cups

April 20, 2021 Amanda Plott

The weather here in Texas has been pretty amazing lately. Despite all the allergens and pollen in the air right now, the temperature is perfection. Everything is alive, plush, green, and coming back to life after a rather harsh winter. Whenever the weather starts to turn this amazing, I always start thinking about camping, even though I’m not the best camper.

What goes better with camping than S’mores? These S'more Cookie Cups are a definite upgrade from traditional s’mores though. They’re less messy and just as delicious! Plus, you can make up a whole batch of 24 of them all at once, rather than making one s’more at a time…

S'more Brownies

So, this is probably one of the best desserts in the world. With two of my favorites desserts combined together into one ultimate dessert. How can you go wrong? If you love s’mores and if you love brownies, then there is no way that you won’t love these S'more Brownies even more!

The bottom layer is a lightly sweet and buttery graham cracker crust that sandwiches gooey-gooey brownie with chocolate chunks with toasty toasted marshmallows on top. So much yummy goodness all in one bite. It’s heaven in the form of a brownie, I tell you…

Skillet Monster Cookie

Look, I don’t know. I’ve just been on a cookie binge lately I guess. But, I wanted something a little more ever green today than my Irish Cream Chocolate Chip Cookies from last week. Plus, I’m all out of those cookies anyway so it was time to make some fresh. One of my all time favorite cookies? Monster cookies!

They’re full of everything I like. Sweet. Salty. Crunchy. You get all the bases covered in one bite. And this Skillet Monster Cookie takes it a step further by being mixed all in one bowl and then baked in a skillet. No need for chilling. No need for rolling. Just mix. Bake. Enjoy…

Irish Cream Chocolate Chip Cookies

February 23, 2021 Amanda Plott

As we get closer to March and to St. Patricks’s Day, I thought I would try my hand at making some chocolate chip cookies, but with a little bit of an Irish twist. These cookies here are made with some Irish Cream baked right in. And let me just tell you, they’re so sooo good!

The out edges are browned and have a little crisp to them while the insides are light, moist, and totally fluffy. And there’s just enough Irish Cream in there to get a hint of the flavor without it being over powering. If you love chocolate chip cookies and you love Irish Cream - these Irish Cream Chocolate Chip Cookies will likely be your new favorites…

Healthified Cosmic Brownies

February 19, 2021 Amanda Plott

So… I’ve been missing for 3 days now. I live in Texas and in case you didn’t hear the news, the entire state was basically without power for the most of this past week - during some of the coldest weather we’ve had in decades. It wasn’t fun. On top of being without power, we were also put on a ‘boil water’ notice. Anyone know how to boil water when you don’t have power? It’s tricky.

Thankfully, my home got it’s power back yesterday morning. And we’re (so far) one of the few houses to have both heat AND running water for the time being. I’m still being cautious with how much electricity being used as we try and keep the grid stable, but as soon as the lights and heat came on, I was ready to get baking. Nothing much is more comforting than chocolate. And these Healthified Cosmic Brownies are chocolate on top of chocolate and rainbow bits!…

Giant Chocolate Chip Unicorn Cookies

January 28, 2021 Amanda Plott

Immediately after I made my last batch of GIANT cookies, my kid was already asking me to make some more. Of course, I didn’t want to do them exactly the same, so today I decided to go with just colorful sprinkles and a variety of chocolate chips. That’s right, a variety. Big, regular, small. Some dark, some semi-sweet.

The end result was some more amazingly delicious GIANT cookies that had something different in every bite. Some bites were full of chocolate, others of sweet candy sprinkles, and then others were a delicious cookie.
