glazed slice and bake lemOn cOOkies

Maggiano’s Little Italy restaurant has these amazing little moon-shaped lemon cookies that are like a soft sugar cookie but bursting with flavor. We always overstuff ourselves when we eat there but somehow find room to savor the lemon cookies when we thought we couldn’t eat anymore.

The restaurant is about an hour away from where we live so when we go we really enjoy it and tend to eat more than we should. But with this recipe, we can now enjoy a copycat of those delicious little cookies! Mine may not be moon-shaped, but they won’t disappoint in flavor!

They are surprisingly simple to make but look so cute and fancy they would wow any guest at a party.

cOcOnut Oil chOcOlate chip cOOkies

Everyone’s favorite cookie just got a little bit better with this drool-worthy recipe.

Using coconut oil instead of butter and adding a little bit of cornstarch makes for an ooey-gooey soft cookie with a hint of coconut flavor.

As well as being mouthwateringly good, these are dairy-free…so for all those out there who are dairy sensitive and lactose intolerant…this is the cookie for you!

Eliminating the butter from the traditional chocolate chip cookie and using a dairy-free chocolate chip such as the Enjoy Life brand allows everyone to enjoy these delightful cookies.

raspberry rOsé walnut chOcOlate cOOkies

Want to impress someone? As if the name alone doesn’t make you feel sophisticated, the taste will up the ante of your clout to anyone you serve these to.

In January Dove came out with six new chocolate bars and for this recipe I used the Raspberry Rosé Dark Chocolate that Dove describes as “sweet pink layer with raspberry and rosé over silky smooth Dove chocolate.” Well…I’m a big fan of Dove chocolate and when I passed by these new chocolate bars in the store they screamed out at me and I had to try one. I’ll be going back soon to try the other flavors as well, but for now…just enjoy these sophisticated cookies. 🙂

magic milk mint brOOkies

Nothing goes together better than cookies and milk, except maybe brownies and milk.

This recipe combines the best of both worlds with a hint of mint that will make your glass of milk explode!

No, seriously…no joke…my milk exploded! I lifted my milk jug to pour a small amount into the batter and it hit my cabinet, which made the milk shoot out and up all over me, my counters, my floor-everywhere! I’ve never seen milk spray upwards the way that it did- it literally rained milk!

My husband got a good laugh when he came to see what my yelp was all about.

These cookies were wort it though.
