If you like your oatmeal cookies thick and kind of soft in the middle, try these. They don’t spread much, and the pudding keeps them from getting hard. I made mine in a range of sizes and decided I like them about medium, but next time I might try making them as big as scones! [...]

These oatmeal cookies might be a little different than what you’re used to. With more butter and less egg, they’re thick and dense, but still soft in the center. The ones in this picture are what I’d call regular size, as they’re made with a rounded tablespoon of dough…. But for the second batch, I [...]

Monster cookies made the news this week, only they weren’t called Monsters. They were Ann Romney’s Oatmeal Peanut Butter M&M Cookies, one of the contenders in Family Circle’s ever popular Presidential Cookie Bake-Off. You can read more about that here and take a look at the competition, but for now I’m going to tell you [...]

I’m still a little fixated on homemade granola, so yes — here’s another ground granola cookie. But this one’s different.
