Gluten Free Peanut Butter Oatmeal CookiesThese scrumptious cookies are gluten free, chewy and full of peanut butter, chocolate, oats and M&M's. I made them recently, for our church bake sale and they were a big hit.
Chewy Caramel Apple CookiesI love these cookies because they're kind of like a cross between caramel apples and warm apple pie. The freshly cooked cubes of apple really stand out under the gooey ribbons of caramel. My family enjoys these warm with vanilla ice cream- it tastes just like fresh apple pie a la mode (without the hard work). Give them a try!
Flourless Banana Cookies (GF)I keep bananas on hand and sometimes they get too ripe for us to enjoy. I don't throw them out. I either freeze them to use later or make these delicious cookies that are gluten free. They make a great snack especially when you are craving sweets or chocolate.
Chocolate Chip Bar CookiesI got this recipe many years ago at my baby shower. Someone always asks for the recipe. Instead of chocolate chips, you can use butternut chips, peanut butter chips, chocolate covered peanuts or raisins, or plain raisins. Coconut and nuts may also be added.
Ginger Snaps (Gluten Free)I love ginger snaps and took an old recipe for ginger cookies and made it gluten free by using gluten free flour. Since I was experimenting, I cut the original recipe in half and it made 89 cookies which is a plenty for me. This is my version.

Salted Caramel Butter BarsI love everything caramel. This one looked rich, just like a cookie bar should be.
Pinto Bean BrowniesOur neighbor has given me so many pinto beans that I needed to put them to good use. I remember having a recipe for pinto bean brownies and had never tried them, so decided to give it a shot. I'm guessing these are a bit healthier than the normal brownie! They are moist and tasty and don't taste like beans at all!
Peanut Butter Filled Brownie CupsA friend of mine gave me some brownies the other day and they were heavenly. They reminded me of a Reese's Peanut Butter Cup in brownie form.

Lemon-Butter BarsI found this recipe amongst my Mom's old recipes. I just love anything made with lemon!
Sugar Cookies from Leftover Buttercream FrostingButter has become scarce these days. I wish to make cookies, but all I have left is a small piece of butter and some leftover buttercream from my previous cake orders. I don't want to waste the frosting so I decided to make cookies out of it.
Sour Gummy BrowniesI decided to make sour gummy brownies because my sour gummy cookies were such a hit. This ended up disappearing from the kitchen way faster than the cookies. The texture of the gummy candy turns into some kind of luxurious heaven when baked in the gooey chocolate brownies. The rainbow cuteness on top is also very pleasing to the eye. We love these!
Butterscotch Popcorn CookiesWe've been having more at-home movie nights than ever lately, so that means more popcorn. That also means sometimes having popcorn leftovers. I decided to make some yummy all-in-one movie night cookies using that popcorn. They are sweet and buttery with a touch of salt to finish. The textures are just out of this world. They are so delicious, the whole batch I made today was long gone before the movie began. Happy family!

Banana CookiesI have an organic garden where we grow a lot of fruit and vegetables. We have a lot of banana trees that produce year-round. At times we have so much that we end up selling them to the local markets or giving them away to our family. Other times I just keep them to make banana cakes, cookies, and bread. Here is an excellent recipe I use to make banana cookies.
Purple Cookie BarsEverything gets purple in my kitchen after a good harvest of this sweet root crop called ube. Today, I'm putting a purple treat to my son's lunch box. So this is how I trick him with healthy foods he doesn't like. Turn them in to cookies and he would be proudly telling everyone in school "his mom's a kitchen magician".

You can swap out the peanut butter cookie exterior with any type of cookie dough you like. I also like a chocolate chip cookie exterior variation. For this recipe, I used a cookie mix, made to its directions on the back. You can get creative with these. These cookies are pretty huge, so you can split one to share with a loved one and watch them ooze!
Chocolate Dipped Peanut Butter MeringuesI originally made these for a friend who loves the taste of chocolate peanut butter cups but finds them too heavy. This is the perfect solution! They're so good, I now prefer these over peanut butter cups, myself. The peanut butter meringues are so crisp and light, even dipped in chocolate, they make you feel much less guilty.
Fudgy Peanut Butter Banana BrowniesPeanut butter and bananas are one of my favourite combinations.

Chewy Choco CrinklesI have been addicted to choco crinkles since high school. I am now trying to learn the recipe so that I can share it to my kids. Now I just want them to enjoy my homemade goodies.
Shredded Wheat Butterscotch CookiesI made this recipe up for two reasons: I love shredded wheat cereal so much, and I really wanted cookies the other day. I didn't have enough flour or butter. These use up finely and coarsely pulsed shredded wheat cereal with an addition of applesauce. The cereal makes them have a wonderful consistency; crisp on the outside, and chewy on the inside. I've realized that getting desperate to make things can result in making wonderful things you've never had before. These cookies are a big win!
Chocolate Pumpkin CookiesYou can't go wrong with chocolate pumpkin cookies especially for fall. This recipe yields 24-36 cookies depending on your cookie scooper. These cookies are simple and easy to make. Great for a nice treat or even great to give as gifts (simple place in a little mason jar and tie a bow) for the holiday season.
Square Corn CookiesGot a Jiffy Corn muffin mix from my in-laws. I got tired of making muffins so I'm making it into square cookies. It turned out really good.
Snickers-Stuffed Peanut Butter CookiesEvery year around Halloween, I like to come up with a sweet treat that uses candies from trick-or-treating events. Either you have kids that end up with lots of them, or you have loads leftover from handing them out. My favourite candy has always been Snickers, so these peanut butter cookies are stuffed with them. The outside is a lovely sandy, crumbly cookie, and the middle is gooey and chewy from the baked Snickers. I've had a dozen people ask me for this recipe after an event I made them for last week, so be ready to share if you make these, too!

Banana Chocolate Walnut Oatmeal CookiesI refuse to let things go to waste around here. I went on a trip recently, and when I returned home, I'd noticed no one had touched the bananas, leaving them to go overripe. Were they ugly? Very. Were they useful and delicious? Absolutely! If you use your overripe bananas to make desserts, you can cut down on the amount of sugar and butter you add in the recipe. These turned out awesome!
Chocolate Chip Cashew and Coconut CookiesHere is an easy and delicious way of whipping up 4 dozen chocolate chip cashew and coconut cookies! If you want, add flaky salt on top.
Applesauce Honey Oatmeal CookiesThese cookies came about as I've been trying to cut down on refined sugar. I used the sweetness from pure applesauce and honey instead of using any white or brown sugars. I did use a small amount of dark chocolate chips, but upped the raisins. They turned out really good, soft and comforting. One of these cookies every once in a while does not make me feel bad at all. :)

Very-Oatmeal Raisin CookiesThis is a super delicious cookie that uses more oatmeal than usual, and much less flour. It's versatile in that if you want them chewy, just stack the cookie dough higher on your baking sheet. Like them crisp? Flatten them out. I like them crispy on the outside with chewy middles so I go right in between. Yum!
Vegan Meringue CookiesAquafaba is the fancy name for the juice, or brine, to come out of a jar of beans. You know, the stuff that everyone throws away. But someone discovered it can be whipped and has the same consistency of egg whites! Which means all sorts of desserts can be created with it, including meringue cookies.
Flourless Almond Butter Chocolate Oatmeal CookiesI made these specifically for my friend with a peanut allergy, and loves them to bits. If you'd like this to be truly gluten free, use gluten-free oats. Most standard oats are processed in places that handle wheat, so be sure the packaging reads that it is gluten-free. I make these in my toaster oven quite frequently, and just up the baking time by about 4 minutes.
Coconut MacaroonsThis is one famous dessert in the Philippines. We sometimes call this coconut muffin or cupcake. A very simple recipe even your kids can do and I'm thinking of including this in my Valentine day menu.

Salted Caramel Chocolate Pretzel ButtonsThese sweet little snacks are incredibly easy to make. Hitting them with a dash of sea salt brings out the savoury in the pretzels, making this a nicely rounded off little dessert snack. They're versatile because you can use any type of candy in the middle, changing the whole flavour experience altogether. I used Caramel M&M's here. You can be picky about what colours you use to suit your event or holiday.
Simple Carrot CookiesMost kids don't like veggies. Here's a tricky recipe that will make kids eat vegetables. Deceive them with with healthy goodness of these carrot cookies.
Iced Cookies from Muffin MixI scored a box of almond poppyseed muffin mix at the shops for 69 cents. The problem was, no one felt like having muffins. We did, however, really want some cookies. With a few tweaks to the mix, we had the most awesome chewy sugar cookies. I made a simple glaze for the tops because my family loves a bit of icing.
Crispy-Edged Chewy Chocolate Chip Oatmeal CookiesMy friends and I were having a discussion about cookies. Everyone agreed oatmeal was better than plain, chocolate chips were better than raisins, but half liked chewy while the other half liked crispy. As this debate was going on, I came up with a cookie combination to make everyone happy. I actually prefer chewy, but when I tried my cookies, I was immediately fond of the crispy edges. What a surprise. Everyone loved these!
Zesty Lime Cheesecake BarsI love the addition of lime juice and zest to these cheesecake bars because they bring some zing to the creaminess. The graham cracker crust has some added cinnamon to really give it a nice dimension. This is an excellent dessert for barbecues and picnics when you want something decadent like cheesecake, without the need of forks and plates. Enjoy!
Chocolate Chip Blondies DessertThis is a delicious dessert packed with nutrition. The main ingredient is chick peas along with other healthy things. This is child and adult approved, and an easy dessert to bring to school parties.
Chewy Banana BarsLiving in Kentucky the markets are flooded a few times a year with bananas. My husband seems to go crazy and buys up half the store when he goes shopping alone. I have bananas coming out my ears. There are only so many bananas that you can eat before you just can't eat another one. Furthermore, during the summer the bananas get ripe, so quickly, I have no idea what to do. I've made banana fudge, banana jam, banana cakes, banana bread, frozen bananas and banana cookies.
Peanut Butter Cookie CupsI made these for a friend who is infatuated with peanut butter cups. The cookie part of it is soft but holds together beautifully with the peanut butter cup stuffed inside. Sometimes I come up with a little bit of extra cookie dough, so I bake them into plain old peanut butter cookies, and they are crazy delicious, as well!
Avocado Banana Chocolate BrowniesI actually call these my Skinny Mini Brownies, but I wanted to be very clear in the title what's in them. It's truly just one avocado, one banana, and a box of chocolate brownie mix. This process knocks out the need to use butters and oils, and makes the brownies so fudgy, you will not need icing at all. Here, I've used an organic double chocolate brownie mix I got on sale for 60 cents. You could also use 2 avocados, omitting the banana, and they turn out fabulously, as well!
Cream Cheese DelightsThis is a simple, versatile and flavorful snack or dessert. It's a fun recipe to prepare with kids. It's a cool, refreshing summertime treat.
Peanut Butter Cereal CookiesIt's been a longtime pattern in our house that we end up having a quarter of a bag of each kind of cereal sitting in the cupboards. Perhaps we get bored of them after a while, I'm not quite sure. I've found a great way to get more use out of them when they're being ignored is to turn them into cookies. Here, I've used the last of my raisin bran and crispy rice cereals to make peanut butter cookies. They are light, flakey, and hard to resist!
Choco-Peanut PolvoronWe usually cook Polvoron at home. The usual mixture is flour, milk, margarine and sugar. This time I'm going to do a simple and no cook version which will surely catch your kid's attention.
Almond Chocolate Chip CookiesNo eggs? No problem, you still can make classic chocolate chip cookies. These are delicious and easy to make!
Almond DelightsMy wonderful Mother-In-Law gave me this recipe. If you like almond flavor, you will absolutely love this dessert.
Tangerine Lime BarsThere are two reasons why I've made these scrumptious tangerine lime bars. First off, I love tangerine and lime flavours so much, I think they need to be stars of more foods. Secondly, my tangerine and lime trees really outdid my lemon tree this year, so when I went to pick fruit in my garden, this was the best idea for a sweet treat! This a very simplified recipe, so there is no egg separating or tempering necessary. The flavours aren't as tart as lemon bars, they're well rounded and velvety. I hope you give these a try. :)
Butterscotch Chocolate Pretzel CookiesI get frustrated when I'm at the bottom of the pretzel bag and all that's left are little broken pieces. Here I've used the bits inside a sweet cookie, topped with sea salt. The cookie itself is soft and chewy, and the pretzels give it a lovely crunchy texture. The salt offsets the sweet from the butterscotch and chocolate chips, making this a wonderful all-in-one treat!
Mom's Best Chocolate Chip CookiesThese cookies are so good it's hard to find words to describe them! They're not too gooey, not to crisp, not too sweet... just right. My mother tweaked the recipe from a Martha Stewart magazine, adding a tablespoon of vanilla and playing with the measurements until it was both practical and perfect! I like to save making them for a cold winter day, and to eat a couple while they're still warm from the oven. But they taste great any time!
Black Bean BrowniesYou can have a healthier alternative brownie. This recipe is kid approved and perfect for both adults and children. A great recipe to make for parties, and school events. A nice dessert treat can be these fresh baked brownies served with vanilla ice cream.
Nut Butter and Cookie Filled Brownie CupsThis is a fun little twist on brownies. The combination of the three ingredients give these brownies a crispy crust, a super soft cookie interior, and gooey nut butter center. You will love these little treats.

Healthy Granola BarsVery easy and healthy granola bar for you and your family to enjoy. Perfect as a snack or to take on the go for breakfast. Change up the dried fruits or add in chocolate for variety.
Berry and Mango Breakfast BarsThese breakfast bars are very easy to make. They are perfect for on the go, as well as toddler/kid approved! Instead of making a full batch of a specific flavor, I used half berry jam and the other half mango to have a variety. You could also opt for fresh or frozen fruit to make your own filling, if you have the time.
Chocolate Chip CookiesWe made cookies for the kid's lunches over the weekend. My young daughter helped me take the photos.
Cake CookiesLight fluffy cookies that will for sure be loved by all. Easy to make and they do not take very long to bake. Add chocolate chips to make even sweeter.
Brownie BrittleBrownie brittle is my dream come true as it's just the crispy, crunchy, sweet goodness of the edges of brownies I always tend to fight over. I love it but why does it cost more than brownies? It has less ingredients, less substance, but costs more money. Let's make our own! Here's how to make them using a box of brownie mix.
Best Ever BrowniesThese are so rich and chocolatey! The recipe calls for cocoa powder, which lasts longer and is a little less expensive than baking chocolate. Use Dutch-processed cocoa powder when possible. Great for any time, any season!
Suzette's Tahini CookiesA talented baker we know made this recipe. If you can't get tahini, I'm sure creamy peanut butter would do.
Valentine Banoffee CookiesI have just learned a new recipe. And since happy hearts day is coming, I added a fancy idea for my banoffee cookies. It's a perfect treat for kids this Valentine's Day.

Soft Pumpkin Granola BarsI'm trying out so many recipes and using up the pumpkin I found on the curb, that I baked and pureed. This recipe is not sweet, but you can add more sweetener than called for. It is also versatile, and you can use ingredients you already have in your pantry.
Candybar and Cereal CookiesI decided to come up with this recipe for cookies when I really wanted some sweets and didn't want plain candy. These cookies are so crispy and satisfying. You could also use crushed cornflakes or bran flakes. My family and I prefer these over regular chocolate chip cookies by far. This is a great way to use up leftover Halloween chocolates, too!
Norwegian Butter Ring CookiesThis versatile cookie recipe has it all! It uses up spare yolks (raw and cooked) that I always seem to accumulate. You can add food coloring or form into a variety of shapes for any holiday. It is a real hit at parties and cookie exchanges since the recipe makes 8 to 9 dozen.
Baked SmoresThis quick and easy dessert recipe gives you perfect and delicious smores in a matter of minutes.
Mango Lime BarsIt's mango season! I keep bumping into mango sales so I thought it's time to come up with something new. These Mango Lime Bars are a lot like Lemon Bars, but less gooey, more pillowy, and of course, more mango-y! The base is a butter shortbread that will melt in your mouth, but still hold up the custardy topping. You will love these. If you prefer super tart, go with two limes instead of one; the consistency will still hold up.
Lofthouse Sugar Cookies (Copycat)Super light, fluffy, and airy cookies with a layer of frosting and sprinkles! This is an easy, delicious recipe we hope you enjoy.
Real Easter Egg CookiesI wish I had thought about this idea before tonight, in order to share this for Easter baking. Well, You can always save it! This is made from my Lemon Drop Cookie recipe which I will add to this post. These were fun to make and my grandchildren will enjoy these even more than usual.
Two Ingredient BrowniesThese two ingredient brownies are amazing! They have no flour whatsoever but you would not even miss it. Usually when you have "two ingredient brownies", one of the ingredients is brownie mix. In this case, it's just Nutella and eggs. You will adore these moist souffle like brownies!
Fudgy Whole Wheat Pumpkin Cake BrowniesThis is a recipe I modified for cake brownies. When they were all done, I decided to concoct a quick sauce to pour over the top. This is sure to kick your craving! If you leave the sauce off, these are extremely lowfat since they're made with pumpkin and not oil.
Flourless Peanut Butter CookiesI first had these at my Aunt's house years ago. They were incredible! I immediately asked her to write down the recipe. She said "no". It was so easy I could remember it, and flour was NOT one of the ingredients. With 3 ingredients, these are truly the quickest, easiest and tastiest cookies around! I just had to share this with everyone.
Two Ingredient Coconut Banana CookiesI love these little cookies! They only have two ingredients, shredded coconut and banana. They turn out like a cross between banana bread and coconut macaroons. You can use a super ripe banana and unsweetened coconut or a plain banana and sweetened coconut, however you decided to go by how sweet you like them. These are a great option for those who are vegan or gluten-free.
Cookie Dough Topped BrowniesMy husband is a huge cookie dough fan. I don't let him eat actual cookie dough because I'm squeamish about raw eggs. There are no raw eggs and less flour in this "dough" so he can munch on these in moderation! They're super rich so a little goes a long way with one batch. Any cookie dough fan will love these.
No Bake Chocolate Mint CookiesThis is a very simple way to get your fix of those crispy, chocolatey, minty cookies. I had seen a similar recipe and they used Andes baking chips. I had never heard of them. But sure enough, there they were at Target!
Chocolate Orange Fudge BrowniesMy husband and I are huge fans of Terry's Chocolate Oranges, the orange shaped chocolate balls that have a yummy hint of orange. I made this recipe out of the blue and it turned out WAY better than I thought it would. It is so elegant, rich and super easy to make. My version only has five ingredients.
Chocolate Holiday Oat LoafSince I have about 6 hours between breakfast and lunch, a dietitian recommended that I have a Kind bar to tide me over. They are expensive and have a lot of calories and carbs. When I saw this recipe in the Penzey's catalog, I showed it to her, and she said it was good. It tastes great, and has 130 calories per slice instead of 200 per bar. The carbs are 19 grams compared to 22 or more per bar. They also cost a lot less than commercially prepared bars. If pumpkin is hard to find, you can substitute canned yams. Of course, this can be made for its original purpose, dessert!
