Day 10: Chocolate Cherry Chip Cookies

December 17, 2013 by kim 4 Comments

Day 10 of my 12 days of cookies: Chocolate Cherry Chip Cookies. Cherry chips are kind of hard to come by, but I found mine at Target during Valentine’s day. I bought a couple of bags to last me throughout the year. In case you can’t find it anywhere by you, you can also buy them online at Amazon.

I love how festive these cookies look. The white and red chips remind me of a candy cane, without the peppermint taste. Just like ninety percent of cookies on my blog, they’re extremely soft and chewy. I’m all about getting that perfect cookie wrinkle on top.

Wouldn’t these cookies look great on a plate for Santa this Christmas?

I won’t tell the kids if you sneak a couple of bites in during the night.

I don’t have to tell you again that this is my favorite cocoa powder. This is the Costco-sized jar now, folks. Things are getting serious.

Day 9: Oatmeal, Walnut, and Chocolate Chip Cookies

December 14, 2013 by kim 1 Comment

Day 9 of my 12 days of cookies: Oatmeal, Walnut, and Chocolate Chip Cookies. This is another classic cookie that is found at most bakeries. It’s also a “safe” cookie, which means you can bring it to a pot luck or gathering and most people would eat it. Yes, I totally made that phrase up.

I’m currently still in Vegas, but I have so much to do. You can look forward to my gift guide this weekend. It’s taken me a bit longer to put it together, but you bet your bottom dollar that I have one for this year!

I thought that these cookies crumbled too easily. I like a softer, sturdier, cookie. Basically, I like soft cookies that won’t fall apart when I take a bit.

Overall, these cookies are okay in my book.

Day 8: Hot Cocoa Cookies

December 13, 2013 by kim 2 Comments

Day 8 of my 12 days of cookies: Hot Cocoa Cookies. I can’t believe that I’ve never made any form of hot cocoa cookies on my blog yet! I don’t know I missed that bandwagon, considering they’ve been floating around the internet for quite a while.

I’m currently in Las Vegas right now kicking off the start of his winter break, so this post will be a quick one. I’m still trying to figure out how I’m going to wear “Vegas dresses” in 40 degree weather. I’d much rather be wearing a parka, sweatpants, and warm, fuzzy boots with snow socks. I’m still debating with my DF to let me do it while he’s dressed in his button up shirt and slacks.

Guys have it so much easier with their attire. They pretty much can never go wrong with the simple combination of a button up shirt and slacks. Girls have to figure out exactly what the event and dress code is so that they don’t wear a dress too long or too short. Not to mention shoes… my poor little feet will be shriveling in 5 inch heels while my DF has nice shoes and socks to keep him warm.

I’ve learned my lesson on shoes, though. Feet are valuable and don’t last if you keep wearing uncomfortable shoes! Since I have to wear heels for work, I’ve resorted to the “grandma” brand of shoes. I’ll only wear heels with comfortable soles and ones that I can walk in for hours. Those brands usually turn out to be Aerosoles, Sofft, Clarks, Strictly Comfort, etc… aka “grandma” brand shoes. I’m okay with that.

The chocolate taste in these cookies is very tame. You can barely taste that they’re chocolate. I would add a some dutch processed cocoa powder in next time to give it a boost.
