Day 5: Copycat Chick Fil A Cookies

by Leave a Comment

Day 5 of my 12 days of cookies: Copycat Chick Fil A cookies. Have you ever had the cookies at Chick-Fil-A? If you haven’t, you’re missing out. They’re SO GOOD. I tried this recipe to make them at home, but they’re nothing like the Chick-Fil-A cookies. Granted, they’re good, just not Chick-Fil-A good. 

Maybe because I made them too small? I should’ve used like 1/4 cup of dough to make a large cookie instead of a tablespoon. I also think the oats were a bit too apparent. I’d grind them into more of a powder or break them up a little bit before mixing them into the batter.Recipe from om and nom.

Day 4: Rocky Road Cookies

by Leave a Comment

I’ve always liked cookies that had a meringue texture.. you know, the ones that are light and fluffy with a crunchy exterior? These rocky road cookies are just that. I give you day 4 of my 12 days of cookies!

These have nuts in them, but if you’re allergic, feel free to completely leave them out. That won’t affect the texture much, so don’t stress over it.

I always get worried when I’m mixing if there’s such a thing as “over whipping” the batter. I stuck pretty true to the recipe and timed my whipping. They turned out perfect. This is where a stand mixer comes in handy the most. Just turn the button on and let the machine do its thing. Recipe from Momables.

Day 3: Macadamia Chocolate Chip Shortbread Cookies

by Leave a Comment

Day 3 of my 12 Days of Cookies: Macadamia Chocolate Chip Shortbread Cookies. I was never really a fan of shortbread until I had it in Hawaii. Then I became alllll about them, especially if they have macadamia nuts!

There’s just something about finely crush macadamia nuts that makes these cookies so darn irresistible. They might be falling apart at first, but once you bake them, they’ll hold together just fine. That’s what shortbread does!

There aren’t any eggs to hold it together, so you’ll have to rely on your hands to press the dough and form them into balls. 
They’re crunchy, break apart in your mouth (practically melt), and have a wonderful buttery flavor. Recipe from Crazy for Crust.
