Funfetti Cookies from Scratch

by Leave a Comment

Funfetti anything just brings me so much joy. The colorful sprinkles, the simple cookie, the unbeatable taste… I’ve never met a person that doesn’t like Funfetti.

In case you don’t have a box of Funfetti mix handy, you can always whip up a batch of your own Funfetii cookies. These are really just sugar cookies with sprinkles.

This dough is so beautiful. Just look at it. I need to invest in some fun sprinkles. I don’t have any right now in my pantry except for the jimmies you find at the grocery stores.

These cookies are just slightly crispy on the edges and have a chewy center.

My little tester couldn’t wait to snatch one up after I took this photo.

Spaghetti Carbonara

by 1 Comment

It’s been a while since I posted a savory recipe on here so let’s ease into it. This is a simple recipe for spaghetti carbonara and it’s a lot lighter than my normal recipe since it doesn’t have any heavy cream.

This is straight to the point- pasta, cheese, and eggs.

It’s great as a basic side dish and will go with just about everything.

I threw in some red pepper flakes for a little kick in my bowl but left it out for the kiddos.

Levain Bakery Chocolate Chip Walnut Cookies

You know how sometimes you make such a darn good recipe that you need to shout it from the rooftops? This is it. This is the only good thing that has come from 2020 so far and I’m here to share it with you.

This is the best cookie recipe I’ve made in probably the last ten years. Believe me when I say this is good. I couldn’t even wait to post it. I baked them today, took photos, and immediately got on my computer as soon as the girls fell asleep.

Honestly, I haven’t felt this inspired with my blog in a while. I even updated the PHP, got my Pinterest button to work again, and updated allllll the things. I feel like my blog just got a second breath. Speaking of, I need to give a shoutout to the tech support at HostGator. THEY’RE AWESOME! I spent two nights trying to figure out things with making my blog secure again and they solved my issue in literally eight minutes via chat. Coders are magical fairies.

Ok, back to these cookies. This picture above is from having no patience and picking it up ten minutes after I took them out of the oven. They look super under-baked, but they really just need time to sit. I promise they’ll toughen back up with time to the perfect consistency.

See what I mean? Do you believe me now? Patience is key for these. Also, making gigantic cookies that are normally four servings each is the way to go. I don’t know if I’ll ever make a regular sized cookie again.

This is my first recipe from A Bountiful Kitchen and it’s veryyy impressive. They really do taste, look, and feel like Levain cookies. Levain cookies are still my favorite cookies on earth. I haven’t found another like it… until now.
