Bakery Style BUTTERFINGER COOKIES

Today was a cool, mostly cloudy summer day with just a few sprinkles

 so a great day to bake!

The timing was perfect as our cookie supply was getting low so even more reason to make a fun, new batch. And, I had some candy on hand, which made the decision of what type to make even easier!

Once the Butterfinger cookies were in the oven I decided to cut out some sugar cookies from leftover cookie dough I had saved in the refrigerator. There was even enough leftover chocolate drizzle to decorate the top these cute little cookies with a simple design to make them a bit more special.

Our stock of sweet treats is now looking good and 

should get us through the weekend 

and hopefully even a little longer.

Happy Thursday!

4th of July BBQ :: SWEET TREATS

Birthday Cake Cookies

It happened again. 

I ran out of cookies! 

So what's a girl to do?

Make more cookies of course!

This time birthday cake sprinkle cookies . . . YUM!

P.S. ~ Our cute bunny stopped by while I was making cookies. It is not actually ours but it does stop by regularly which I enjoy.

However, Mr. McGregor (aka: the hubs) is not as fond 

of the bunny as I am, as he tends to nibble 

in our garden. Nevertheless, I like to think of it as a 

compliment to the gardener. Either way, he was back 

and thankfully had no interest in the garden 

this time. Just cute as can be. However. . . .I suppose 

if he nibbled on my cookies 

I might feel the same way as the hubs.

😉

Happy Saturday!🎈

Bakery Style Chocolate Chip Cookies

Craving Chocolate Chip Cookies, bakery style!

So, I made batch and made them bigger and thicker than usual.

They did not disappoint!

The bigger the better...YUM!

Happy Sunday!

Teacher Appreciation Week

Yesterday (Friday) was the last day of Teacher Appreciation Week.

Besides an amazing raffle of gifts and a delicious catered lunch, on Friday,

we also received the cutest Individual May Day Sugar Cookies. 

If that wasn't enough. . .they also brought an abundance of donuts to choose from earlier in the week to go with the Starbucks coffee they also provided for the teachers and staff.

Actually. there were a variety of morning donuts for staff on three different days! 

These cute May Day Basket cookies were so good AND each one was individually boxed and then displayed on beautiful wood display racks!

Loved it!  

YUM!

It doesn't get better than that!!

Happy Saturday!

Monday Fun-day! (bonus edition)

😉An unexpected day off . . . oh what fun!

So I decided to BAKE! Because...why not?! You can never have too many sweets on hand...right?! Well, that's what I like to think. So. . . .

. . . . today became a baking day. 😄

After I made the Butterfinger cookies I noticed I had one banana left, that was beyond our liking, and needed to be used. So, I decided one banana was just enough to make a small batch of Banana Cookies.

Sure enough, it was perfect for a dozen Banana Cookies. YUM!

Happy Monday! 

Oatmeal Cookies with glaze

Sweet treat for the Week!

Mr. Wonderful loves oatmeal raisin cookies so oatmeal cookies it was!!

He prefers them plain however I could not resist adding a little drizzle. 

No complaints! He loved the little extra icing on top. 

Have a Great Week!

Dinner then Dessert!

Some days call for pasta, others for cinnamon and sugar. 

Balance is key, so tonight it was Chicken Alfredo. . . 

. . . followed by 

HOMEMADE 

Frosted Snickerdoodles!

"Mamma mia, why is my fettuccine the same shade as my cookies?"

Snickerdoodles: because happiness should be frosted and sprinkled with cinnamon! 

When your dinner looks like a winter landscape—deliciously edible. 

Warning: May cause spontaneous happiness. 

This dinner: brought to you by *50 Shades of Beige*!

Happy Tuesday! 

Bakery Style Chocolate Chip Cookies

Over the weekend I worked on making a 

chocolate chip cookie that resembled 

the taste, texture and look of the famous

  Crumbl Cookies! 

These turned out to be the most 

similar batch I have made so far.

The size, texture and taste 

are all getting closer.

They taste great so definitely 

will not go to waste. 

 😉

We may have a winner?!

Have a

 Sweet  Week!!

Notre Dame Football Cookies & Wings

There is nothing better than BBQ'd wings for a snack during college football so that is exactly what Mr. Wonderful made to share with his buddies at our neighbors Notre Dame watch party.

He also requested some frosted sugar cookies so,

 while he was grilling I was baking.

If it had been my choice I would have gone all out 

on the cookie decorating, however, I aim to please

and these were just what he asked for.

Quick & Super Simple!!👍

No Fuss, No Muss and they taste just the same as if they had taken hours to make and decorate.

Mmm, mmm GOOD!

Go Notre Dame!
