Flourless Nutella Cookies

We’ve all been there… You walk over to the pantry… Searching for something sweet… You think;

“Oh! I’ll make some cookies! Something with chocolate!”

Because what girl DOESN’T love chocolate? But when you get to the pantry you realize something is wrong… Very wrong. There is NO flour and you are out of butter!

How did you let this happen?!?!?

This is EXACTLY what happened to me last week. I was out of butter and flour. Two of the most important ingredients when baking. How in the world did I not realize how low we were? I was definitely going to need to make a trip to Costco and stock up, but that wasn’t going to happen until the next morning and I wanted cookies now…

SO, I improvised with a little Nutella and sugar.

Shortbread Cookies

I have made the decision that shortbread cookies just aren’t my cup of tea. Sure… they are meant to be a little ‘vanilla,’ and normally I would be all over that… But cookies are the one thing I feel should be chocolate. Or contain chocolate. Maybe dipped. But just plain ol’ vanilla?!?

Having said that… everyone else around me thinks I’m crazy. These little gems were the hit of the week with my sister and son. They really love them frozen.

Weird. I know.

Homemade Thin Mints

I love Thin Mints.

Whenever I see girl scouts out at the stores selling their boxes of cookies… I buy too many a few boxes. Like enough to line the inside shelves of our freezer. How can you say no to those adorable little faces asking you to help support their troop??

The only problem is that I can NEVER seem to find those stinken scouts when I need them! With all of my friends posting status updates about their cookie gold mines… I had to do something…

Homemade Graham Crackers

I had originally planned on posting an amazing chocolate cupcake, but decided on a delicious graham cracker recipe instead. Why? Well… Life. I’m so busy with work and the kid that I haven’t had two seconds to take a decent photo! I made these for my old site, and they have been a staple in our home ever since.
