Chocolate Chip and Nutella Cookies

Category : cooking, recipes

Make these cookies immediately. They are soooo good! I can’t even imagine a more perfect cookie, just the right amount of richness, all the flavors work amazingly…I like them so much that I ate so many yesterday I couldn’t eat lunch.

The only changes I made to the recipe were: I used salted butter and omitted the salt, because I didn’t have unsalted on hand, and I used 1 teaspoon almond extract and 1 teaspoon vanilla, because I accidentally grabbed the almond out of the cabinet!

Pumpkin and Chocolate Chip Cookies

Category : cooking

The other day Ve woke up asking for cookies. After a couple hours I finally decided we could make some. The girl really loves her sweets.

I went through my bookmarked recipes, thinking about trying something new, one of the recipes that I saved ages ago but haven’t got around to making yet. Instead I went with these cookies. Last year I was obsessed with them and probably made them a dozen times. Plus, I froze so much pumpkin last year I still had 2 bags left that I needed to use since fresh pumpkin will be available soon.

These cookies are delicious. I use chocolate chips in place of the pecans and skip the glaze altogether (there’s nothing wrong with them that way, I just prefer them my way). They are thick, kind of like little cakes. I actually call them cakies.
