Sorry I keep posting double chocolate cookie recipes, but I like trying different versions of the same type cookie. As for this one, I can’t say it’s better than all the others but the cookies are really good and have an interesting texture which reminds me of baked fudge. I made a half batch yesterday [...]

You can never have too many key lime pie recipes, so here’s the one I made yesterday. This was inspired by a “best of show” winner at a Florida state fair and it’s interesting because it gets its smooth & thick texture from cream cheese and butter rather than the usual egg yolks. …

In this version, broken Oreo cookies stand in for the walnuts and instant espresso powder replaces the instant coffee crystals. What’s great about [...]

These are my all-time favorite peanut butter cookies. They taste super good and the recipe is easy to memorize because of all the “1/2″ measures. The peanut butter chips are a nice addition, but if you can’t find peanut butter chips you can leave them out. As for the peanut butter, I get the best results when I use a less-sweet no-stir natural peanut butter such as Skippy Natural.

Fuzz is back in school today and I’m catching up on the usual chores. Instead of cookies, I decided to make something more practical. Muffins seemed like a good idea, and since they can stand in as breakfast or snack, I figured they’d be useful. Fuzz doesn’t like things suspended in muffins, so I made her [...]
