Caramel Chip Bars
 In my previous post, I mentioned that my DIY Vanilla Cake Mix was a recipe born of necessity. Well, this recipe was that necessity. These Caramel Chip Bars have been a favorite on my mother’s Christmas goodie trays for a very long time, long enough that the 18.25 ounce...
Mom’s (Texas) Brownies
 It has come up a time or two that I like brownies. It is possible that “like” is a slight understatement considering that nearly 20% of all of the recipes I’ve posted to date are brownies in one form or another. This recipe is probably the first from-scratch brownie...
Chocolate Chipper Champs
 Every baker has a favorite chocolate chip cookie recipe, one they always go back to no matter how many other chocolate chip cookie recipes they may take for a test spin. This Chocolate Chipper Champs recipe was exactly that for my mother. I’m not sure exactly when she started...
DIY Brownie Mix
 If you’ve been following along on this site, you’ve probably realized by now that I’m not necessarily one to look for easy or simple recipes. While I don’t actively go out of my way for complex or technically difficult recipes, I’m willing to work on whatever techniques or methods...

Chocolate Chip Cookies for Two
 What is better than one small batch cookie recipe? Two of course! Once I felt I had perfected my Double Chocolate Chip Cookies for Two, I decided to see if I could create a classic chocolate chip cookie variation. As it turns out, I absolutely could. These chocolate chip...
Double Chocolate Chip Cookies for Two
 Most of the time, I enjoy baking up big batches of goodies for my family of five or to share with friends and colleagues, but every now and then, I want a little something just for me, or something to share with only my husband, or something to satisfy...
Hard Boiled Egg Chocolate Chip Cookies
 Leading up to Easter, I shared the Dark Chocolate Easter Cookies and the Easter Candy Brownies, both excellent ways to repurpose any excess Easter candy (or left over candy at any time of year). I know that Easter is now two weeks in the rearview, but I wanted to...
Chocolate Cowboy Cookies
 Cowboy cookies are a hearty and delicious adaptation of classic oatmeal cookies where the raisins are swapped for loads of sweet, salty and texturally pleasing mix-ins. The exact origins of the Cowboy Cookie recipe is unknown, but there are similar recipes dating back to the 1930’s – 1950’s such...
