Okay I may have just found a new favorite cookie! These are just a little bit crispy on the outside but really good and chewy on the inside! They seem to have the perfect balance, with the salty, nutty taste of the macadamia nuts and the sweet, wonderful
flavor of the white chocolate. They are a like a marriage made in heaven!
I decided today that I would do a roundup of 15 Fall and Halloween crafts, decorations, recipes, and printables from previous posts. To view the post, for directions or recipes, just click on the link below each picture. Continue reading
This is one of those recipes that I have had in my family for a lot of years and I have made it many times. It is great for the summer, because it is a bar cookie and you can just bake it all at once in one pan, and you don’t have to heat up your house for very long! It also has very basic ingredients that you probably already have at your house.
Back in the day, I used to make this recipe with shortening, but if you think about it, Toffee is made with real butter, so I changed out butter for the shortening and oh my, what a difference it made! I asked my husband if he wanted one last night and he said, “No…I want two!” They are that good!
I remember when I was a young girl, coming home from school and making No Bake Cookies. I always thought that they were the best treat ever! I used to mix in all kinds of things like coconut, nuts, raisins, etc. whatever my mom had in the cupboard at the time. But not once, ever, did I think to put in Nutella! Well, I saw this idea out there somewhere in blog land and had to give it a try. I was pleasantly pleased with this add-in item! The hazelnut flavor is kind of subtle, but it is there. My husband thinks that these are good for you with the oatmeal and all and I just let him think that!
Summer is here and so now it is officially the quick, easy to make, no bake season! This is the time of year that I look for recipes that require little time and effort to make and this recipe fits the bill perfectly. I don’t know who named this recipe, but I have been making it for my family for many years! There are a lot of variations of this recipe but I love this one because it is a chewy, yummy, chocolately, peanut buttery, bliss in every bite treat! So if you need a quick snack to fix for your family this summer you really should try these Chocolate Butterscotcheroos!
So easy and so yummy. This is a great recipe for the kids to help you make, and what kid doesn’t love to help in the kitchen when it is a fun treat? It is perfect for summer snacking, picnics, BBQ’s, ballgames, etc. Easy to make and easy to transport right in the pan! So what are you waiting for, let’s go make some Chocolate Butterscotcheroos!
This is a fun recipe that I made up from a couple of other recipes. It is a tart yet sweet, soft sugar cookie! The lemonade frosting is what puts it over the top!
It is perfect for those hot summer days. Light and refreshing! And they are pretty with the yellow edible glitter!
This recipe is a great copycat recipe that I have had for many years! I cannot remember where this recipe came from so I cannot give credit to anyone. But we have had it in our family for a long time. I have made these for school kids, college kids and even mailed them away in packages to missionary sons.
One of the great things about doing a blog, is that the recipes that I post will be recorded for future use! My recipe card is getting pretty hammered and is well worn, so now I will have a lot better copy of this recipe!
I finally broke down and made sugar cookies for Valentines day. I say that because I know that if I make them I am going to eat them! This recipe really is “The Ultimate Sugar Cookie.” I don’t know if any of you ever go to the little cookie shops around your area and get a big sugar cookie with the cream cheese frosting and you savor every bite, well here is the recipe for those big fat cookies!
I promised you yesterday that I would show you how to make the Chocolate Oreo Cookie Flowers. They are so fun and easy and there are just a couple of tips to help you so the cookie part does not break quite so much.
So who is ready to make Chocolate covered Oreo Cookie Flowers?
The message this month is another great one. I feel like I say that every month but this one is so important to us today. The family is on attack so much by the world that it is sometimes hard to remember how important our role as mothers are. I love the quote by President Hinckley where it says: ” No other work reaches so close to divinity as does the nurturing of the sons and daughters of God.” This is so true yet we forget it so often! We sometimes say that we are just a mom, and yet as a woman that is one of the most divine callings that we can have! I love how Sister Barbara Thompson also states that you do not have to be a mom to nurture others, you have a responsibility to nurture all those in your family and even if you were the only living member of your family, you are still a member of God’s family.
For the handout this month I concentrated on the quote from Pres. Hinckley:
Here is an idea that I did to go with this tag:
Come back tomorrow and I will show you how to make Chocolate Dipped Oreo Flowers!
