I feel like there are a million different kinds of Oreos on the shelves right now. Have you visited Target recently? There’s like an entire aisle dedicated to Oreo!

Not only are Oreos good on their own, but they’re even better baked into a cookie. Yessss, please.

These cookies are a little drier than I would have liked, but that could easily be remedied by reducing the baking time.

Avocado Chocolate Cookies

I am so excited to be living in California. That means I have access to the best avocados since they practically grow in our backyard!

I normally eat avocados with savory foods, but have you ever tried incorporating them into baking? This was my first attempt and it won’t be my last! The avocado replaces butter in normal cookies, creating a healthier way to eat dessert.
IMG_6423Rodelle‘s cocoa powder is a key ingredient in this recipe for the beautiful dark color and chocolate flavor of these cookies. My cookies turned out a little too gooey and wet, so I’ll have to give them another try to get a more cookie texture. Recipe from The Smoothie Lover

Malted Milk M&M Cookies

Crispy M&M’s came back last year, and I was ecstatic. It’s my favorite kind of M&M (although peanut butter M&M’s are a close second). The packaging really threw me off, though. It’s not the same bright blue color that it used to be. It’s now lime green!

You bet your bottom dollar that I went to Target and picked up a few of these large bags when they first re-released them. They’re long gone now, but hopefully they’re here to stay.

IMG_5534

I’m still preggers. We’re sitting here playing the waiting game. I’m less than a week out from my due date, but it doesn’t seem as if she wants to come out any time soon. We’ll see!

IMG_5538

As I’m waiting, I’ll keep nibbling on cookies. Maybe that’s why the little baburri doesn’t want to come out yet. She likes all the sweets that she gets when she stays in my belly!

IMG_5542

These are simple cookies that everyone will like. The malt powder changes things up a little bit, but most people that tried these cookies couldn’t even taste it.
