My Favorite Posts of 2012

December 30, 2012 by kim 2 Comments

Let’s recap 2012 with my favorite posts from each month:

January: Chocolate Marshmallow Cake – It’s moist, sweet, and pretty.
 February: Thin Mint Stuffed Chocolate Cookies – Girl scout cookies inside of a cookie!
March: Cinnamon Rolls with Vanilla Cream Glaze – My labor of love. Cinnamon rolls that actually turned out legit.
April: Meatball Sandwiches – A little savory for the sweet year.
May: Pumpkin Gingerbread Biscotti – My first time on the blog making biscotti. It turned out great!
June:  Caramel Pecan Bars – Just don’t tell your dentist.
July: Easy Turtle Brownies – I’m a sucker for turtle anything.
August: Cinnamon Baked French Toast – The most popular post this year with you guys. Prep the night before, throw it into the oven the next morning.
September: Chocolate Chip Lava Cookies – Decadent goodness. 
October: Banana Streusel Coffee Cake with Salted Caramel Glaze – Apparently this was the year for caramel.
November: Pumpkin Pie French Toast – This was the most verbally talked about post. When people saw me, they were the ones to bring up this pumpkin french toast.
December: Thick and Chewy Chocolate Chip Bars – Something simple, and always a crowd pleaser.
Honorable mentions for 2012:
Double Glazed Baked Funfetti Donuts – You can’t have a countdown without some sprinkles.
Caramelitas – I didn’t even know what this was until I made it.
Blueberry Banana Baked Oatmeal – A little bit of healthy.

Pumpkin Scones – Again, it’s something that I don’t normally make, but it turned out great.

Mini Pumpkin Donuts – More please!

Almond Snowballs – For some reason, I just adore this cookie. Maybe because it’s something I’m not used to? Crumbly, hard (er), and not as sweet.
What was your favorite post of 2012? 
I hope you’ll all stick around for 2013! I know many of you have already left after you finished your holiday baking, but if you ever decide to come back around, I’ll be right here. I do bake year round, you know. 🙂

Mint Chocolate Cookies

Mint chocolate is my downfall. It’s my favorite kind of ice cream, after dinner mint, and dessert. Mint chocolate cupcakes, cakes, brownies, cookies… you name it. I’ll eat it all.

I had high hopes for this cookie, but it just wasn’t for me. I used neon green food coloring, which is why my cookies are a little more yellow than they should be.

I can’t put my finger on it, but there was something missing about these cookies. Not minty enough? Not chocolate-y enough? Who knows.

I’ll have to find another recipe to work with for all of this Halloween candy coming up! Recipe from Crafty Corner.
