Day 11: Cookies ‘n Cream Peanut Butter Cookies

by Leave a Comment

IMG_9540Day 11: Cookies ‘n Cream Peanut Butter Cookies. Whew, that was a long title. That’s because there’s a whole lot in these cookies: peanut butter, Oreos, white chocolate chips, and regular chocolate chips. IMG_9543

These cookies are a little more crumbly than I’d like, but they still taste great. Not all cookies can be as chewy and soft as the ones I love, right? IMG_9551

I guess I have to be fair to all the cookie lovers out there. Everyone favors a different kind of cookie. I’m keeping it versatile on my blog to please all the cookie lovers!

Day 10: Pumpkin Snickerdoodles. I made these for Thanksgiving and these were probably my favorite out of my Thanksgiving batch. I think I left them in the oven just a minute too long because they were a little tougher than I would have liked the day after. Under-baking is the key to these cookies.pumpkin snickerdoodles

Pumpkin is not just for the fall and Halloween. It’s available year round so take advantage of it!
pumpkin snickerdoodlesThese cookies crackled beautifully and have the slightest hint of pumpkin. The pumpkin flavor isn’t very strong, so even those on the fence about pumpkin would enjoy these. Recipe from The Recipe Critic.

Day 9: Cranberry Delight Cookies. I actually made these for my DH’s work because they were doing an event to make cookie mix jars and needed someone to bake the actual recipe so people could test the cookie before they made the jar. I was actually very impressed with this recipe and am probably adding these to my cookie gifts this Christmas.

My DH even enjoyed them even though they have oats! Shhhhhh no one tell him there are oats in the cookie. He won’t eat it if he knows.
