Ashley and I both made these bars independently. When I asked her how she liked them, she said it perfectly, “This is what a cookie bar should be!” We’ve both noticed that all too often the cookie bars at bakeries, delis, etc, just don’t match the expectation we have in our heads. Could be a hidden and unwelcome fruitiness, maybe not enough chocolate, just plain dry, or outright bland. Well these chocolate caramel bars will NOT disappoint. They have plenty of caramel, chocolate, butter and gooey goodness, along with just the right amount of crunch. See? Everything a cookie bar should be. (more…)

double white chocolate &
pretzel peanut butter cookies
Have you ever had white chocolate melted into your cookie dough before? Because I haven’t, and it was amazing. I absolutely love the texture of these cookies – moist and chewy, but also almost crumbly. I hope I’m using the right descriptive words. Let me just say that these are genuinely delicious and a new favorite. Another fabulous salty/sweet combo, sure to satisfy both cravings. Make them nice and big, and then have two or three with lots of milk on a Sunday afternoon. That’s what I just did, and I’m a happy, happy girl. (more…)
chocolate covered cherry cookies
The moment I saw these I knew I had to make them. Chocolate covered cherries in cookie form? YES! They were festive, different, easy, and delish. Fun new twist for a cookie exchange this season. Here’s the only thing, personally I would much prefer a fudgier (that does not look right, is that a word?) cookie, so next time I’m going to try these cookie/brownie recipe from my Marshmallow Brownie Bites. That’s just me, but I still found every bite of these very tasty and really enjoyed sharing them! (more…)
s’mores cookie bars
I hate the words, “cool completely before cutting.” I’m sure most people have the necessary restraint, but I invariably cut (and eat) far before my desserts have cooled. The result? Slightly burned mouth and not so pretty presentation. But I never learn my lesson, nope, doesn’t stop me from doing it again the next time.
I’ve wanted to make these bars since I saw them over at Lovin’ From the Oven around Christmas time. It took me seven months to assemble all the ingredients here in Japan. (more…)
(sorta) homemade chocolate sandwich cookies
I’m going to keep this simple. These are good. Real good. Easy and oh-so-tasty. And they’re portable too, so fun to share.
