Biscoff White Chocolate Blondies

I feel like part of growing up means having things scheduled every weekend. There’s never a break! It’s not a bad thing, it’s just that there are no more free days to lounge around (with my DH, that is). Welcome to adulthood.

Just because you’re an adult, doesn’t mean that you can’t indulge in kid desserts. I will gladly stuff my face in all of the cupcakes, ice cream, and cookies possible. This is like a grown up dessert, mostly because Biscoff is more of an “adult” cookie. Kids don’t typically request Biscoff cookies… do they?

Who knows. Either way, these blondies are delicious. If you can’t find Biscoff spread anywhere, head over to Trader Joe’s for their brand. It’s called “cookie butter,” but it’s just as good.

I’ve learned to always line my pans with foil when making bars. It makes cleanup A LOT easier. That’s always been my least favorite part about baking: the cleanup. So anything to minimize that time is a must for me!

Chewy Coconut White Chocolate Chip Cookies

My DH has a problem… an Amiibo addiction. Do you know what those things are?  They’re little figurines that Nintendo created for the Wii. Problem is, my DH just collects them. He doesn’t care much for actually playing with them.

I guess there could be worse things that he’s into, but man, Nintendo created some monsters! They’re so good at it, too. I don’t get the appeal over these things.

What I do get, however, is chewy cookies! White chocolate and coconut go so well together.

These cookies are about as soft as it gets. Just look at the inside!:

Recipe slightly adapted from Tracey’s Culinary Adventures (the only thing I did differently was omit the coconut extract since I didn’t have any on hand and increase the amount of white chocolate chips).

Valentine S’mores Cookies

Oh, the dreaded couples’ holiday is coming up. That means lots of cheesy cards, heart shaped everything, and men scrambling trying to find the perfect throw-away gift for his girl. I don’t mind the holiday, though. Actually, I don’t mind any of the holidays. Every holiday means specialized items in the baking aisle!

valentinesmores-4

For that, I am a sucker. I will mindlessly fill my cart with every heart shaped, red, and pink chocolate there is. I know it all tastes the same, but seeing chocolate chips a tad different than the normal shapes and colors of what I’m used to brings joy to my baker heart.

Nestle can do no wrong in my book.

These s’mores cookies from Chelsea’s Messy Apron are wonderfully soft and chewy. They’re packed with flavor and remind me of camping. I love the touch of Nestle’s Valentine chips.
