Chewy Ginger Molasses Cookies

These little cookies are straight up delish. I made them due to a week long gingersnap craving. I've had this recipe bookmarked for a of couple years- it came from  Gimme Some Oven.  These cookies do taste like gingersnaps, but they are soft and chewy. I kept half the batch at home and took the rest to work. They were devoured within 24 hours. Many people have asked me for the recipe, so here it is!


Makes ~33 cookies.
Bake time: 8-10 minutes

Cadbury Egg Stuffed Cookies

Do these look delicious or what? I think this is the cutest thing I've ever baked. Let me explain what's going on in this picture: a miniature cadbury egg has been stuffed inside a homemade cookie, topped with homemade frosting which has been dyed green for the occasion, and topped with peanut butter speckled M&M eggs. Yes, yes, and yes. 


I found the cookie recipe on this Making Memories blog and the frosting recipe is from Tasty Kitchen. You should make them for Easter this weekend. Your guests will thank you. Here's another Easter dessert recipe that you might be interested in, too!

Jelly Bean Cookies

Yayyyy, Easter cookies! They'll suit all your jelly bean/cookie loving needs. What a perfect combination. I stumbled up this recipe last week on Alli 'n Son's blog. She hosts Sweet Tooth Friday every week which I would like to participate in soon. But not with this recipe..because it's hers. These turned out very well! They have rolled oats in them, so they turned out to be a fluffly, oatmeal cookie with a slightly fruity flavor.


I'm super pumped about making Easter treats this year. This is the first of three to come, so keep checking back!

Mint Chocolate Chip Cookies

I made these crazy green cookies for St. Patrick’s Day this year. They were very easy to make. I found the idea while searching Tastespotting on The Family Kitchen blog. These cookies are just a combination of my go-to sugar cookie recipe, green food coloring, and Andes Creme de Menthe baking chips. I love those baking chips! I eat them by the handful. I think these make a good spring time cookie because of their color and the mint flavor. Make em! You probably already have all the ingredients in your pantry besides the mint baking chips.

Makes 40 cookies.

Bake time: 12-14 minutes

Sugar Cookies with Peppermint Buttercream Frosting

Aren’t these little guys adorbs? I love em. They were tasty and fun to make. I love rolling out cookies and decorating them. I found the recipe on one of my favorite baking blogs, Dozen Flours. All the the baked items I have tried from there have turned out so well. You should check out some of her recipes!

These little babies would be perfect for Valentine’s day, if you go for the heart shape. Too bad I'm posting them the day after Valentine's day. You can use any type of cookie cutter shape you'd like though. This is the best sugar cookie recipe I've tried, so I'll definitely be using it any time I need to make some sugar cookies. I ended up making two batches of these because I loved em so much. They all turned out cute and yummy :)

Makes 16-20 cookies.

Cook time: 8-12 minutes

Mexican Wedding Cookies

Mexican Wedding Cookies...AKA Danish Wedding Cookies, Russian Tea Cakes, Italian Wedding Cookies, Butterballs, or Snowballs. These little guys are soft pecan shortbread cookies that are rolled in powdered sugar. And they are delicious. And addicting. I found this recipe through Tastespotting on a blog called Eat Yet. If you love pecan shortbread cookies, then you’re gonna love these guys. I don’t even love pecan shortbread cookies and I love these guys. They are equally as good without being rolled in the powdered sugar too. I’ll definitely be making them again.

I made them for my friend Katie, who designed my whole blog. Did you know that web design is super hard? I did not know this until I created this blog. My version looked like crap. It would have hurt your eyes. Anyway, I’m super thankful that Katie helped me set all of this up so I could start putting my recipes on here! Her only request was Mexican Wedding Cookies, so here they are. I hope you love them Katie! :)

Makes ~ 28 cookies
