I’m not a big fan of chocolate chip cookies. I don’t dislike them, but I don’t love them either. I make them because my family likes them but I don’t usually eat any. However, this twist on chocolate chip cookies is an entirely different story. I do like these and I do eat them. Whip up a batch and see what you think. Cream together: 1 cup butter 1 cup sugar 1 cup … [Read more...]

I found this recipe in the September 2011 issue of Simple & Delicious. Unfortunately, when the recipe was created, cake mixes were 18-1/4 oz. but now they’re around 15 ounces. It made a difference in this recipe – at least for me. You’re supposed to roll the dough in balls and then push a rolo to the center. There wasn’t any way I was going to be able to roll that dough – it … [Read more...]

Is there a food in your life that’s packed with memories? These Cinnamon Roll Cookies are mine. My Grandma Ida used to make them out of leftover pie dough. She made LOTS of pies so whenever we went over for a visit, there was always a pie cooling on the counter and a pie tin with 7 or 8 cinnamon roll cookies made with her leftover dough. They were SO good!!! When I got older, I craved … [Read more...]
