Everything Cookies

I made these cookies a couple of weeks ago... the recipe is a conglomeration of 5-6 different "monster" cookies I found online.  We really enjoyed these cookies - even took some to the neighbors... they're still talking to us, so the cookies must have been good to them, too!

Everything Cookies

2 sticks (1/2 lb.) unsalted butter, softened
1/2 c. white sugar
1.5 c. brown sugar
2 eggs
1 Tbsp. vanilla
1.5 c. flour
1 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. salt
1.5 c. oats
3/4 c. M&Ms
1 c. chocolate chips (I mixed milk & semi-sweet)
1/2 c. peanut butter chips
2.5 c. Rice Krispies

Preheat oven to 375F.

Cream butter and sugars until fluffy.  Add eggs one at a time, beating well.  Add vanilla and beat.

Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.  Add to butter mixture and mix until combined.

Add in remaining ingredients - oats, M&Ms, chocolate and peanut butter chips.

Add Rice Krispies last, and mix only until just combined.  Be careful to not overmix.

Use a cookie scoop to create balls of dough for the cookie sheet.  Bake about 10 minutes, until golden brown, and then cool them on a rack.

Makes ~5 dozen.

Redesigned!

I've spent the last several weeks casually re-working the blog, and it's done.  :)

I hope you like it!

I have several new recipes that I'm excited to add here... hopefully in the next week or so.  And, I know that Emily has a delicious fruit pizza recipe to share, too {hint, hint}.  ;)

Blueberry Crisp

I decided to include this recipe on the blog, even though it's identical to the previously posted Apple Crisp recipe, this is likely the only way I will remember that it's equally delicious with blueberries instead!  Such a simple recipe, I promise you can't mess it up!  Originally by Betty Crocker.

Blueberry Crisp

Prep Time: 20 min
Total Time: 50 min

2 pints fresh (rinsed and drained) or 4 c. frozen (thawed and drained) blueberries

1/2 c. all-purpose flour
1/2 c. quick-cooking or old-fashioned oats
1/3 c. butter or margarine, softened
3/4 tsp. ground cinnamon
3/4 tsp. ground nutmeg
Cream or ice cream, if desired

Heat oven to 375ºF.
Grease bottom and sides of 8-inch square pan with shortening.
