So, school is out and finals are (almost) over for me. That means I now have 3 semesters (or one full calendar year) left of college! Sadly the owner of Truckee Bagel has not yet offered my pastries up for sale in his stores, despite trying some of my (full dairy) pastries from my high school days. Well, I had some time off today and decided to make a new one!</div>

I am not a huge fan of cheesecake unless it is homemade, and my mother makes the best cheesecake I have ever had! But now, sadly, I cannot eat regular cheesecake. But have no fear, I have another lactose-free solution to all my dairy problems! (And yours, if you are in the same boat. If not, feel free to make this recipe with regular dairy products, it will come out the same). However, snickerdoodles are my favorite cookie and my friend posted a video on facebook about this so I knew I had to try it!</div>

I was so excited about making these that I totally forgot to photograph it along the way! Also, for all these pictures I just use my phone and an editing app, since I am not technologically advanced enough to have a real camera. The one picture I did get, however, was of the dough on top of the cheesecake mixture! I guess you could try to make double the dough to cover the whole pan, but it would be hard considering the dough does not smooth out very well once dropped into the filling. It comes out perfectly just the way it is.</div>

As always, I use <a href="https://greenvalleylactosefree.com/" target="_blank">Green Valley Organics</a> for the butter and cream cheese, and you can use exactly the same measurements as the original recipe found on <a href="http://www.delish.com/cooking/recipe-ideas/recipes/a51152/snickerdoodle-cheesecake-bars-recipe/" target="_blank">Delish.</a> The baking pan I have is ginormous, and the next smallest pan I have (an 8x8") still contains (box) lemon bars in them. Oh yes, I also have my <a href="http://sophasbakery.blogspot.com/2013/10/oreo-stuffed-chocolate-chip-cookies.html" target="_blank">Oreo Stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookies</a> in the cookie jar. So yes, I have a lot of baked goods right now. Anyways, the pan I have is way too big and everything is stretched a little thin, but it still tastes all the same!</div>

<br />
<h2 style="text-align: left;">
Ingredients</h2>
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
Cheesecake:</h3>
<div style="text-align: left;">
2 blocks (16oz) Green Valley Organics Cream Cheese, soft</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
1/2 C. Sugar</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
2 Eggs</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
1/2 tsp. Vanilla Extract</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Pinch Salt</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
Snickerdoodle:</h3>
<div style="text-align: left;">
2 1/4 C. All-Purpose Flour</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
1 tsp. Salt</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
1/2 tsp. Baking Soda</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
1 1/2 sticks Green Valley Organics Butter, melted</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
1 C. Sugar</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
1/2 C. Brown Sugar</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
2 Eggs</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
1 tsp. Vanilla Extract</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Cinnamon Sugar, for sprinkling</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<h2 style="text-align: left;">
Directions</h2>
<div style="text-align: left;">
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and grease a 9x13" pan with cooking spray.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
2. First, prepare the cheesecake mixture by creaming together the cream cheese and 1/2 C. sugar in a medium bowl. Then add in the eggs, vanilla, and salt and beat until combined. Set aside.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
3. In a second medium bowl whisk together the flour, salt, and baking soda. Set aside, and in a large bowl beat the butter and both sugars until fluffy. Add in eggs and vanilla and beat until just combined. Gradually mix in the flour mixture, mixing after each addition until just combined. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
4. Press two-thirds of the dough into the bottom of the pan in an even layer. Sprinkle cinnamon sugar over the dough, then pour the cream cheese mixture over the top. If needed, smooth with a spatula. Then, take the remaining snickerdoodle dough and sprinkle over the cheesecake. Top it off with some more cinnamon sugar before baking.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
5. Bake until the edges and middle are set, which means little to no jiggle in the cheesecake, which is about 35-40 minutes. Cool completely before cutting with a knife.</div>

Now I have found a lot of store-bought muffin mixes have dairy in them so I could not just make those. Plus, I have leftover sour cream from my <a href="http://sophasbakery.blogspot.com/2017/04/dairy-free-strawberry-french-cake.html" target="_blank">Strawberry Cake</a> recipe from last week, so why not use it!<br />

One of the best things about these muffins is how lemon-y they are, especially since I used the zest of 2 lemons to really add the flavor. Also, there is a crumb topping, which is the first time I have successfully made one. I forgot to buy muffin papers at the store when I was getting powdered sugar for the glaze, so that is why these are lacking them. <br />

The tops look a little pale when they come out of the oven but as long as the toothpick comes out clean they are good! Next time I make this recipe I will definitely double it, as it only made about 11 muffins, which accounts for the empty cup in the above picture (was not because somebody ate it). Also, have some terrible pictures of me trying to take action pictures of glazing the muffins!</div>

I am not a professional glazer but I definitely had fun trying to take pictures of it! Especially since I had 11 "takes" to get the right one, but they all kind of look the same and the glaze soaks into the crumble. But now for the recipe!<br />

3/4 c all purpose flour<br />
2 T granulated sugar<br />
2 T light brown sugar<br />
<h3>
Batter</h3>
1/4 c Green Valley Organics butter, soft<br />
1/2 c granulated sugar<br />
1 large egg<br />
1/2 tsp vanilla extract<br />
zest of 2 lemons<br />
2 T lemon juice, freshly squeezed<br />
1/4 tsp salt<br />
1 1/2 tsp baking powder<br />
1 c all purpose flour<br />
1/2 c Green Valley Organics sour cream<br />
<h3>
Glaze</h3>
6 T powdered sugar<br />
1 T lemon juice, freshly squeezed<br />
<br />
<h2>
Directions</h2>
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line 12 muffin tins with paper or spray with non-stick spray.<br />
<br />
2. Prepare the crumb first. Whisk all the dry ingredients together first, then add to the melted butter and mix with a fork until only small pieces remain. Set aside.<br />
<br />
3. In a large bowl cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the egg and mix until combined, then do the same after adding the vanilla, lemon zest, and lemon juice. <br />
<br />
4. Add in the salt, baking powder, and flour and mix until fully combined. Finally add in the sour cream and mix until there are no streaks left.<br />
<br />
5. Use a portion scoop to scoop batter into the muffin tins, then generously cover each muffin with the crumb topping. <br />
<br />
6. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Transfer to a wire rack to cool right away.<br />
<br />
7. As the muffins are cooling make the glaze by whisking together the powdered sugar and lemon juice. Use a small spoon or a whisk to drizzle the glaze over the cooled muffins. Store in an airtight container.<br />

Between working and college (plus not having a kitchen of my own) I have seriously been lacking in the baking department.<br />
<br />
But fear no longer! In my place I have a wonderful little kitchen that is just perfect for all the baking shenanigans I get into. One slight, teensie-weenie problem though: I regained my lactose intolerance over the past few months. That means no milk, cheese, butter, or sour cream for me. Boo. Cooking has not been a problem since I just look for recipes that do not require milk, but baking is a different story.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyJF-MxtaJ35f869LKOthDWqqz4bgXrhj1_vkqyar1enpQh2zNVYHq-rTNKQ5xAM51Atzp6cuEke8sKrq2o3uc_mhIXQK7SgcF08G9BGqKNKvKiyRWsKR5E19t55r4vujfJnW-joKObBhs/s1600/C9uHPfpU0AAz8qn.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyJF-MxtaJ35f869LKOthDWqqz4bgXrhj1_vkqyar1enpQh2zNVYHq-rTNKQ5xAM51Atzp6cuEke8sKrq2o3uc_mhIXQK7SgcF08G9BGqKNKvKiyRWsKR5E19t55r4vujfJnW-joKObBhs/s400/C9uHPfpU0AAz8qn.jpg" width="225" /></a>With my lactose intolerance coming back up, the one good thing is I get to choose all the fun things I get to eat now. But finding dairy-free snacks for a good price in any regular ole' grocery store has not been working for me. <em>However,</em> I did find <a href="https://vegancuts.com/" target="_blank">VeganCuts</a> online, which is a snack box service that mails you TONS of dairy (or gluten) free snacks every month. I bought the 6 month subscription right away. I mean, look at all the good stuff I received in my second box:<br />
<br />
Anyways, being lactose intolerance <em>in no way </em>means you have to stop baking. Or enjoying pastries. Or life in general. Over the past month alone I have tried so many different types of milks, cheeses, yogurts, and even cream cheese. Yet nothing seems to really compare to the real thing, that is the sad part. And when you work in a bagel shop ad cannot eat half the things in it (luckily the bagels are dairy free!) it makes it that much harder to enjoy the fake stuff.<br />
<br />
There is one brand I like though, possibly because it is made with real milk, and that brand is <a href="https://greenvalleylactosefree.com/" target="_blank">Green Valley Organics.</a> It is lactose free dairy, where they add the lactase enzyme. Now I am not all that knowledgeable about the difference between lactase and lactose, but I know this stuff is good and it does not make me sick at all. Score! I mean, even the packaging is appealing!<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0PZdFrSB8GBgNnCYICrpKG_Hog_NNyn7M__wYx94VzlXAtmFMsBxWsBq0mFOCEPG_E4oC2bAxRFg3Jf-qQnRjNnziyLtQ7ROG_TqaOOSmv-dJuCO7clOAg4ec8bmg8kJ8t4zp6ssJwhVL/s1600/sourcream.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0PZdFrSB8GBgNnCYICrpKG_Hog_NNyn7M__wYx94VzlXAtmFMsBxWsBq0mFOCEPG_E4oC2bAxRFg3Jf-qQnRjNnziyLtQ7ROG_TqaOOSmv-dJuCO7clOAg4ec8bmg8kJ8t4zp6ssJwhVL/s320/sourcream.jpg" width="180" /></a>But back to the recipe. The original recipe can be found <a href="http://www.foodtasticmom.com/french-strawberry-cake/" target="_blank">HERE</a>, and the original contains <em>both</em> butter and sour cream. Boo again. Buuut Green Valley Organics is so tasty that I easily replaced both those things with their lactose free counterparts, and the results are <em>aamazing</em>. And that means this is one more recipe all my lactose intolerant counterparts can enjoy now as well! This recipe is not vegan, as it contains eggs, and not gluten free since I used regular bleached flour. I am not saying that this recipe cannot be altered to fit those diets, I just made it so it would fit mine.<br />
<br />
Because really, who wants to make something they cannot even eat? <br />
<br />
My boyfriend is far from being lactose intolerant and even he loves this cake, he was snacking on it before it was even cool from the oven! He usually loves everything I bake, but a couple weeks ago I tried making some blueberry vegan muffins and they did not turn out okay, not even a little bit. So he was a little wary about this recipe, until it came out of the oven.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWXqqKtRM8S78BUChtinW0AlsRRTNKBzCMdBmPdxokiCv52LXHZ4bFVG4QpkT4X77MoulV5PE8_7Q4_o95k-B59dOusGwgPQvDJu5cXFhXGBrJdD_XsPpaaI2SMJYFULyvyxrtx3lPvKrg/s1600/Batter.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWXqqKtRM8S78BUChtinW0AlsRRTNKBzCMdBmPdxokiCv52LXHZ4bFVG4QpkT4X77MoulV5PE8_7Q4_o95k-B59dOusGwgPQvDJu5cXFhXGBrJdD_XsPpaaI2SMJYFULyvyxrtx3lPvKrg/s200/Batter.jpg" width="112" /></a>Raley's does their $5 Mondays and I actually scored 2-16oz packages of strawberries for $7 during this sale. If my porch got a little more sunlight I might try to grow my own strawberries, but store bought does just fine for now. I sliced the strawberries into slices, instead of halves like the original recipe says, just because I believe sliced strawberries are better in this recipe than chunked ones.<br />
<br />
I also had to bake the cake a little longer, since the middle was not setting very well. Despite that, the edges did not get burnt and the top is actually a really nice, crispy texture while the middle is still super soft. Also, it does seem like a lot of sugar goes on the top, but after it is baked it is the perfect amount and adds to the deliciousness of the cake. Even the batter was delicious! I had to stop myself from eating it before there was no more left for the actual cake...<br />

Dairy Free French Strawberry Cake</h2>
<h3 class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Ingredients:</h3>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
1 stick Green Valley Organics lactose free butter, soft</div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
1 1/4 c. White sugar, divided</div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
2 Large eggs</div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
1 tsp. Vanilla</div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
1 1/3 c All-purpose flour</div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
1 1/4 tsp. Baking powder</div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
1/4 tsp. Salt</div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
1/2 c Green Valley Organics sour cream</div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
16 oz. Fresh strawberries, stemmed and sliced</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<h3 class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Directions:</h3>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 9in round cake pan with non-stick spray and set to the side.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
2. In a stand mixer, beat 1 cup of the sugar and the butter until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Add in one egg at a time and beat well after each one, then beat in the vanilla.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
3. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the flour mix to the butter mix, alternating with the sour cream so that you begin and end with the flour mix. Make sure you beat until just combined with each addition.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
4. Fold in the strawberries with a spoon, then spread the batter in the prepared pan. Top with the remaining 1/4 cup of sugar, making sure it evenly covers the cake.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
5. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and a toothpick stuck in the middle of the cake comes out clean. Let it cool completely before cutting.</div>

I have just been so dang busy! Also, it is difficult to bake in 100 degree heat, especially because the oven makes it even hotter! Well, today was a bit windy so I decided to do some baking, but then the heat picked up so I spent as little time in the kitchen as possible. Nonetheless, I still have a great recipe to share with you guys today!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I found this recipe on <a href="http://pinterest.com/" target="_blank">Pinterest</a>, and the link lead me to<a href="http://addapinch.com/cooking/2013/11/04/salted-caramel-blondies-recipe/" target="_blank"> this site</a>, which actually(for once) had the actual recipe. I strongly dis-like when the link does not have a recipe on it! Anyways, it seemed like a quick and easy thing to make, and since it has caramel on it, it was a must bake. Because, <i>who doesn't like caramel?</i> I'm not judging if you do not like it, but everyone in my family sure does love it!</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> First things first, you have to cream your butter and sugar. Call me strange, but I think that butter and sugar go well together, it has both a sweet taste and a nice texture! If you do not have a kitchen-aide(like me) you can just mix it by hand, or use an electric hand mixer. Either one works, as I have done both and you get almost the same results either way.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> Then take a spoon and mix in the egg, flour, vanilla, and salt. Soo, basically everything else except for the caramel. It does not look like there is a lot of batter, but the flour will make the batter puff up in the oven. You can take the back of the spoon or a rubber spatula to smooth the batter in the pan.</span></div>

<br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Using a toothpick or a butter knife, and I used a toothpick, try to evenly spread out the caramel. Again, it is okay if its not perfect, the idea is just so that someone doesn't take a bite to find <i>no caramel</i>, because that would be terrible! Bake for 20-25 minutes, then let them <b>cool completely</b> before cutting! And if you cannot wait for it to cool completely, you will most certainly have a hard time trying to cut the bars!</span></div>

Sure, there are a heckuva lot of s'mores recipes, but I would say this one is by far the best. It has the sweetness of the chocolate, the crunch of the graham crackers, and even the gooey-ness of the marshmallows! And, knowing me, I <i>looove</i> me some marshmallows! An added bonus to this recipe is that is another of the easy 1-2-3's that are loved by the whole family!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> Turn your oven onto broil and place the brownies back in the oven. You have to sit and watch it, otherwise the marshmallows <i>will burn</i>. Also, they will expand due to the heat, so no worries there! Leave in the oven until the marshmallows are golden brown, then pull them out and let them sit for <i>at least</i> 30 minutes. They might not make it that far, but it'll be quite a mess if you try to cut earlier than that!</span></div>

So after a whole day of thinking in my head, I came up with COBB. The <b>C</b>ookie<b> O</b>reo <b>B</b>rownie <b>B</b>rownie. Or, for short, the slutty brownies. And <i>oh my goodness the name fits well!!</i> It is a whole boatload of sugar and you may or may not need water or milk to get the sweetness out of your mouth.

This time I took the <a href="http://cookiesandcups.com/the-perfect-cookie-base/" target="_blank">Perfect Cookie Base recipe</a> from <a href="http://cookiesandcups.com/" target="_blank">Cookies and Cups</a> and mixed in my favorite candy, <i>Almond Joy</i>. Almost any chocolate should work for this recipe, but if the candy you are using is bigger than the average chocolate chunk, it should be cut up or crumbled before being folded into the batter. Anyways, these cookies turned out really amazingly, and my family just couldn't stop eating them!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> They are soft cookies, and are very similar to my Chocolate Chip Cookies, with the almond joy acting as chocolate chips! They are <i>so soft</i> in fact that, if you try to take them off the pan too early, they <i>will fall apart</i>. But more cookies for you then! And, of course, they are best warm but even better the day after.</span></div>

And although it is hard to distinguish all those white ingredients from each other, try to make sure they are evenly distributed. Nobody wants to have that one cookie with a bite of salt or baking soda, <i>ewwie</i>.</span></div>

Or <i>when you walk by a Cinnabon shop</i>. Mmmmm warm cinnamon rolls! The best part about this recipe too is that it <i>is yeast free</i>, only because the yeast is already in the pre-made dough. Any crescent rolls package will work, try different types to get different flavors.</span><br />

They look good enough to eat at this stage, but they are definitely a lot better right out of the oven!</span></div>

They puff up in the oven, like they would if you made just the normal crescent rolls. I did not make the glaze because I was selling these the next day, so I didn't want them to get all soggy and gross. The recipe is pretty straight-forward though, and it is just to be drizzled over the tops of he cinnamon rolls. Enjoy!</span></div>

It just so happened, one of my AP tests landed on the day I was supposed to bake in my culinary class sooo my "make-up lab" just ended up being this weeks recipe! This one is a recipe my teacher has had for many years, so there is not really an <i>original</i> recipe here on the internet. I will admit, <i>I was a little skeptical</i> about this recipe at first, because I did not think that Peanut Butter and Butterscotch would go well together. But today I was proved wrong!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> They taste just like a Peanut Butter cookie, so the butterscotch gives it a nice little kick. Now, the recipe calls for white chocolate and butterscotch <i>swirled</i> chips, but I could not find those at walmart, so I just used 1/2 a bag of each. I sure hope my teacher will not mind, but they came out amazing anyways! They do look flat, but they are soft and not really crunchy like I thought they would be at first.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> The peanut butter, butter, and sugars will all be creamed together, until it is smooth with no chunks in it, then the eggs will be beaten in one at a time, then the vanilla mixed in last.

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> Spring is here, and what better way to celebrate it than with a cookie with strawberries in it! The strawberries are not fresh, but they are just as amazing anyways. They also add a little pop of color, otherwise these would just be white chocolate chip cookies!</span></div>
<div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> So, the strawberries are <i>dried</i>, not <i>fresh </i>and not <i>freeze dried</i>. This can make it such a huge pain to find them, but they can be found at Target in the dried fruits section. Oh, and the lady over at <a href="http://cookiesandcups.com/" target="_blank">Cookies and Cups</a>, where I got<a href="http://cookiesandcups.com/strawberries-cream-cookies/" target="_blank"> this recipe</a>, said that, as hard as she tried, she just could not seem to make fresh strawberries to work. No worries, these cookies come out amazing anyways!</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> Everything in the first step gets creamed together, which is best done in a stand-alone KitchenAide bowl. Or, if you are like me and don't have one, an old electric mixer will do just the job! If needed, it <i>can</i> all be mixed with a spoon, just the electric beater does a better job at making sure there are no clumps and that everything is distributed evenly. The eggs do not have to be beaten one at a time, but if that is your preference then go for it!</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> Since the dry ingredients don't need to be mixed in a separate bowl, just throw them all in at once and stil <i>very slowly</i> to not get flour everywhere. The dough will quickly turn into an actual cookie dough-like consistency, and when it is like that and there are no pockets of flour around the bowl, go ahead and fold in the strawberries and the white chocolate chips. Using a mixer for this part <i>may not work</i> since the dough is so thick, so you can fold them in using a spoon.</span></div>

But now that the hype has all died down people have been asking about when the next time I'll bake is, and today is the day! These little guys will be going to school and tested to see if this is a keeper recipe or not. Personally, I think they are very well done with a <i>very</i> brownie-like taste....<i style="font-weight: bold;">it's just so much chocolate</i>!! </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> These cookies are most definitely made for chocolate lovers! Like I said, they taste a lot like brownies and are a little less crunchy than the corner parts of brownies. <i>Mmmm brownie edges....</i> No, back on task. I found <a href="http://chocolatechocolateandmore.com/2014/02/chocolate-sugar-cookies/" target="_blank">this recipe</a> through the <a href="http://pinterest.com/" target="_blank">Pinterest</a> <a href="http://www.pinterest.com/search/pins/?q=cookies" target="_blank">Cookie page</a>, and it was like love at first sight! And since I've already tried the Brown Sugar Cookies and Original Sugar Cookie recipes, I decided '<i>heck, why not give this one a try too?'</i> And I'm pleased to say it was a success!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> The first thing to do is cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy, then beat in eggs one at a time, and then lastly add in the vanilla. The batter should be creamy with little to no sugar granules I always do everything by hand since I don't have a kitchen aide, but that would definitely shorten preparation time(as well as saving you an arm workout!) if you had one. Set this aside for a minute, no worries we will come back to it!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> The next thing to prepare is the chocolate mixture. This part actually looks a lot like what a caked mix would look like, but I promise it's not! The beautiful thing about cocoa powder and flour is the fact that they are two <i>very</i> different colors, so its easy to know when more stirring is needed! Make sure everything is evenly distributed before adding it to the butter mixture.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> Slowly, <i>and I do mean slowly</i>, add the flour mix to he butter mixture, stirring until incorporated. Make sure there are no flour pockets or big lumps, then the dough is ready to be refrigerated! The dough itself should be smooth, and even kind of has the consistency of brownie batter. <i>Oh yes</i>, and the batter is absolutely amazing!! I had to stop myself from eating all of it, I had to remember that maybe <i>maybe </i>the cookies would turn out even better. <b>And I was right.</b></span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> The dough has to be refrigerated for an hour, but if you're in a crunch of time(as I usually am), you can put it in the freezer for 15 minutes and between batches of cookies. That way it would be firm enough to mold, but take up a fraction of the time. The dough might need to be stirred every couple of times when pulled out of the freezer, just so all the other parts of the dough can be equally as frozen.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> <i>If I could make a huge cookie/brownie batter Popsicle my life would be complete!</i> Well, at least until it became too chocolate-y and/or all my teeth fell out. Whichever comes first. These cookies also taste <i>amazing</i> right out of the oven, and I couldn't stop eating them! If they (somehow) don't get all eaten in one sitting, they can be stored in an airtight container for up to a week. Well, if they last that long. I highly doubt it!</span></div>

Well that is the exact thing you will experience as soon as you bite into this cookie. I mean, of course you can still bite into a warm chocolate chip, but the middle is where the party is at!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> From what I have gathered, this cookie dough recipe is just one of many variations of the "perfect" cookie dough recipe everyone seems to have, just baked in muffin tins with melted chocolate chips in the middle. So, if you are in a hurry or if you are not too good with making cookie dough (it is okay, I cannot seem to make icing to save my life), then you can substitute for a store-bought mix.</span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> The cookie dough does not have to be rounded or anything when placed in the muffin tins. It will flatten out during the baking process, as cookies do. Just make sure the dough covers the entire bottom of the muffin pan, otherwise you might get a lava-mess when trying to remove the cookies! With a regular sized muffin pan you can use a portion scoop (about 2 Tbsp) , and a small spoon (about 1 Tbsp) for miniature muffin pans.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> For the mini muffin pans, bake the cookies, 8-10 minutes. For the regular muffin pans, bake as long as the directions require, or until the edges are a golden brown. Pull them out too early, and your cookies will fall apart, but pulling them out after being in to long and, well.....you get hockey pucks. The gooey cookies might sound good, but its a heck'va mess to clean up! And if they are made just right...that is where the amazement is.</span></div>

<h2>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #272f32; line-height: 22px;">Directions:</span></span></h2>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #272f32; line-height: 22px;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div>
<div style="padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a normal sized muffin pan with cooking spray. Place 1/2 cup chocolate chips in a Ziploc bag, and seal shut, and place in a microwave with the chips making only a single layer. Microwave for 30 seconds, then flip, microwaving for an additional 10-15 seconds until all the chips are softened. Set aside to cool.</span></div>
<div style="padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">2. Cream the butter and both sugars until light and fluffy. Add egg and vanilla and beat until well combined. Set aside. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and baking soda. Add to the wet ingredients a little at a time and mix until combined. Add the remaining chocolate chips and stir to combine.</span></div>
<div style="padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">3. Using half the cookie dough, scoop 1.5-2 tbsp of dough, and place in the bottom of the muffin pan, flattening it out to cover the bottom. Repeat for a total of 10 cookies. Cut a small tip in the corner of the Ziploc bag, and gently squeeze a layer of chocolate over the middle of the cookie. Scoop and place the remaining dough on top of the chocolate layer. Bake at 350 for 15-20 minutes, until the edges are just browned. As soon as they come out of the oven, run a knife around the edges to make for easy removing later. Cool completely before removing from the muffin tin, running a knife around the edge to help loosen.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> Sometimes (although rare) Oreos get left behind and not eaten. Or, at least not placed in the center of what will be a </span><i style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Oreo Stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookie</i><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">. So, what do you do with those Oreos? Well, crunch them up and put them into another recipe of course!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> Muffins are not always a breakfast item, although people do tend to think that way. Well, maybe one can eat Oreos for breakfast, hey I'm not judging here! I wish I could say where this recipe came from, but it has been such a long time since I have acquired this recipe that I no longer remember the original source. It is basically a vanilla cupcake recipe with smashed Oreos in it. Either way, it is absolutely <i>fabulous!</i></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> After the butter is melted, <i style="font-weight: bold;">MAKE SURE IT HAS COOLED COMPLETELY</i> as to not cook the eggs when they get mixed in. I mean, who wants chunks off eggs in an <i>Oreo muffin</i>? The quickest way to cool it down is to melt it at the beginning of your baking, then stick it in the freezer until you need it. Just don't forget about it though, because it will freeze if left in there too long! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> The recipe does say to make a well in the dry ingredients, and (if you didn't know) it is exactly what it sounds like. It works best using the back of a spoon, and just make a circular shape in the middle of the dry ingredients. When the wet ingredients are poured, it will be alright if some overflow out of the well, just as long as the majority makes it into it in the first place.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> Fold in the Oreo chunks, and then the dough is ready to bake! This recipe makes about 2-3 dozen muffins, depending on the amount of batter in each cup. Of course, with mini muffins you make about 4-6 dozen, and will need to reduce baking time to 12-15 minutes.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> As you can see, this recipe does create a lot of cookies, and this picture does not even include the ones my dad ate! This recipe makes <i>almost 4 dozen cookies</i> depending on the size, but they will probably be gone before having to worry about leftovers. They can be stored in an air-tight container for up to a week though, just in-case you need them last minute for someone's bake sale.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> As you can see in the above picture, one of the cookies is darker than the rest. This may happen with the first 1-2 batches as you figure out the cook time needed for the cookies, but the darker cookie is, in fact, over-cooked. Below is a closer picture of the cookies:</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> The difference in perfection and over-cooking can be as little as one minute. Look at the cookies after 6 minutes and every minute after until you get the right side looking cookie. It is alright if the middles look a little under-cooked, they will settle after being out of the oven and keep the cookie soft instead of crunchy.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> This is actually the second batch I have made (since I did not take pictures the first time) and people at school absolutely loved them!

And how better to celebrate than the making of cute little cookies to share with friends and family? And the perfect part? They are sweet and fruity, unlike the subtle tangy-ness of my nerds cupcakes I made last week. The actual heart shape idea came from <a href="http://www.abeautifulmess.com/2014/02/gummy-bear-cookies.html" target="_blank">a Beautiful Mess</a>, and the recipe itself came from <a href="http://thebakingrobot.com/2013/04/05/gummy-bear-thumbprint-cookies/" target="_blank">The Baking Robot</a>. The only (visible) difference between the two recipes is that a Beautiful Mess made half of the original recipe and created hearts instead of the original thumbprint shapes in the dough.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Oh, and on another note: do not buy the 2 lbs bag of gummy bears unless you snack excessively, or make 2-4 batches of these cookies. I thought it would be enough....well, it is <i>more</i> than enough! Good thing Macy and I like Gummy bears, and I will also have enough if they and up being a hit at school. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> I probably made more shapes with the gummy bears than actually baked with them, but that is alright! If making the original thumbprint cookies, a whole gummy bear will be placed in the cookie cavity, but the heart ones use two halves. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> In the spirit of Valentines day, I made heart cookies and mixed flavors of gummy bears; half one color, half a different color. The shape in the cookies takes a bit to master too, because the dough puffs up a little when baking. Some hearts turned out really good....others have a nice jellybean shape. Either way, they taste amazing!!</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> If you are talented enough, you can make different shapes in the cookies! I had a hard enough time trying to make hearts, and <i>definitely</i> used my index finger instead of my thumb. The key to holding its shape is freezing the dough before and during the baking process. The longer the dough sits in the freezer, the more firm it will be and the better it will hold shape.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> Since I sell these at school, I used a portion scoop to get uniform cookies! but you can make them any size you want! The bigger the cookie, the more gummy bears you might have to use. I think it would be cool to see 3-4 different colors in a single cookie! The cookies themselves are very bland, sort of like a soft shortbread cookie, so the gummy bears add a perfect sugar-y taste to them!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> So do you guys know about those SUUPER huge nerds boxes?

And what a better way to eat nerds than in a cupcake? </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> I guess you could try putting them in cookies, but the sour-ness of the nerds would kind of ruin it....or at least I <i>think</i> that is what would happen, but I don't know for sure. <i>Buuuut</i> nerds in cupcakes are different! I took <a href="http://www.thebakerupstairs.com/2013/01/magnolia-bakery-vanilla-vanilla-cupcakes.html" target="_blank">this simple vanilla (vanilla) cupcake recipe</a> and put in 8-10 boxes of nerds in the batter and <i>viola</i>, I have homemade funfetti cupcakes! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> Granted, I only had purple and pink nerds, but it just so happened that I had pink and purple mini cupcake liners as well! Also, what is a good cupcake without icing? Since I have horrible (very horrible) luck with making icing, the icing on these cupcakes is just a cream cheese one I found in the fridge. Then to spice up the icing, why not put more nerds on top? </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> Since I made little cupcakes, they ended up coming out of the wazoo! Well, not literally but....you get what I mean. And what better to do with a million cupcakes than sell them at school? I don't take cupcakes often, but when I do they <i style="font-weight: bold;">always</i> sell out. I had people buying $5-$7 worth of cupcakes, yet they were only $0.25 each.<i> (Personally I think it was the nerds on top that got them)</i></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i> </i>All in all, this is a keeper recipe. You never know, there might be some leftover nerds next Halloween! And you know the best part about them? Well, other than the fact they are simple, but.... <b>You can use any flavor nerds your heart desires</b>. Go crazy with them! I think the rainbow nerds would look best for these cupcakes, but it is all based on preferences. Enjoy!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So I have had the pleasure to get some snow today....well, some snow at least. At this point, anything is better than nothing! I just wish that it was sticking to the ground, making snow angels and snowmen are definitely fun!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

Well, I stumbled across <a href="http://afewshortcuts.com/2011/12/snackurday-hot-cocoa-cookies/" target="_blank">this</a> recipe on the <a href="http://pinterest.com/" target="_blank">Pinterest</a> <a href="http://www.pinterest.com/search/pins/?q=cookies" target="_blank">cookies</a> page, and knew that I would need an excuse to make these cookies (as well as a cup of hot cocoa to drink). The sad part is, I had to sacrifice my highly coveted marshmallows stash...but these cookies were definitely worth it! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The other nice thing about these cookies is the fact that they can be made with things around the kitchen! <i>Aaand </i>if you run out of cocoa powder, there is always hot chocolate packets to substitute for! I think a few of these cookies also have mini marshmallows from those packets...woops! Oh well, they still taste amazing either way(:</span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The dough itself is bowl-licking worthy! And just stirring everything together you get that nice, rich chocolate-y smell. Well, between chocolate chips and cocoa powder I don't think there could be any way these cookies could be more chocolate-y! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> They do spread a little bit on the cookie sheet, so don't worry too much if your dough balls are a little large. I use a cookie portion scoop, so that is why my cookies turned out a pretty good size. The original recipe calls for using rounded teaspoons of dough, but it all determines on how many cookies you want and how big you want them to be.</span></div>

<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Sooo.... my friends all know how much I love ice cream. I mean, I can eat it with breakfast, lunch, and dinner everyday and be fine (as long as i get to change flavors every now and then). Well, ice cream and marshmallows (<i>Mhmmm marshmallows</i>).</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> So when I come across <a href="http://cookiesandcups.com/ice-cream-sundae-cookies/" target="_blank">this</a> cookie recipe on <a href="http://cookiesandcups.com/" target="_blank">Cookies and Cups</a> that is the essence of ice cream in a cookie, of course I had to try it out! and <i>ohmygoodness</i> they are amazing! I would have used M&Ms if I had them, but I didn't so I used chocolate chip cookies instead. It just makes it so it has more of a chocolate chip taste to it, until you get a bite into the crisp waffle cone and get reminded that this is an <i>ice cream</i> cookie recipe!</span><br />

Soo scrolling down the <a href="http://www.pinterest.com/search/pins/?q=doughnuts" target="_blank">doughnut page</a> on <a href="http://pinterest.com/" target="_blank">Pinterest</a> I see that the doughnuts are: fried, fried, has a weird ingredient I have never heard of, fry, fry, fried, and so on. But then finally, FINALLY I found a baked doughnut recipe that not only is <i>not</i> fried, but also had <i>no yeast</i>.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> I have got to admit, it is a fairly easy recipe as well, one that can be done quickly with ingredients normally found in a kitchen. <i>Oh yes,</i> and they are soooo light and fluffy it is amazing! When rolled in the cinnamon sugar the taste is just heavenly, and I want nothing more than to repeatedly pop them into my mouth until they are all gone!! This recipe originally came from a retro, rockabilly type blog called <a href="http://bakerbettie.com/" target="_blank">Baker Bettie</a>, and you can find the recipe <a href="http://bakerbettie.com/baked-cinnamon-sugar-mini-donuts/" target="_blank">here</a>.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> This recipe produces about 4 dozen doughnuts, depending on the pan you use. Normally for making doughnuts a doughnut pan is used(which makes sense, right?), but I do not have one so I just used a mini muffin pan. The piping bag was still used to make these, even though making a doughnut shape in the muffin tin does not mean a doughnut shape will come out of the oven. Instead, mine turned out to be more like doughnut bites, or miniature muffins. Your pick.</span></div>

<div class="" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> Despite how fluffy they are, they do not fall apart as easily when cool, as opposed to just coming out of the oven. When the recipe says to wait for these to cool down, LET IT, or you will end up with doughnut crumbs in the cinnamon sugar. Besides, they really taste better with the cinnamon sugar and not just plain.</span></div>

You can do that with two knives in a cross-cutting motion, or a pastry blender.

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">When your dough is in a ball like this, cover it with a piece of wax paper and roll it out. it does not need to be a perfect circle, because the edges could always be torn off and re-shaped as needed. Go ahead and put the dough in the fridge to rest, for anywhere from 15 minutes to overnight. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">After your dough has been in the fridge for so long, go ahead and pull it out. Using a pizza cutter(since that works best), cut the dough into strips. Size can vary, because everyone has their own preferences. Since I sold mine at school, I cut mine into little squares. The size of the sticks will vary the cook time, but generally they will be cook somewhere between 10-14 minutes.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">1. In a large bowl, combine the flour, 4 Tbsp sugar, and salt with a whisk. Cut in 1/2 cup Butter with a pastry blender or using two forks until batter is crumbly.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">2. Add in 3 Tbsp water, one Tablespoon at a time, and toss dough with a fork until it comes together into a ball when gathered. Create a dough ball with it.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">

Well that, and the snow, which never seems to want to fall where I live. Bummer!! At least the weather is cold enough to sit by the fire and drink Hot Chocolate!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> Also, this time of year is when my Culinary Class starts selling cookbooks. And this year they are completely new design with new recipes that have been collected from all culinary educated throughout the entire United States. One of the books is about entrees appetizers, with a few desserts; while the other one is all about the holidays and includes both baking and crafts in it. Flipping through both of the books, I finally found a recipe called "Cranberry Hollybrook" in the holidays cookbook. I have no idea what a hollybrook is, but after making and tasting these cookies, I realize it is just a Cranberry Bliss Bar disguised as a cookie! A bonus to these cookies is the holiday colors...as well as the wonderful smells that will fill your house!</span><br />

It combines our basic chocolate chip cookie with any kind of oreo, based upon your preference Every time I go to school with these they all sell out, no matter what the price is. They are super sweet too, I definitely know I can't eat more than two of these, still gooey, right out of the oven. <i>Ugh</i> I want to make them again just thinking about it! And you can use any type of oreos as well, I just use the Double-Stuf Oreos so people get the most bang out of their buck.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> Other than trying to bake for school on a daily basis, school is going fine. I got my progress report and got great grades, which I am totally happy about! Also, we get Friday (10.25) off as a holiday! This weekend I have a Halloween Party at a friends house, and then just helping clean up around my own for the ritual weekend cleaning. <i><b>Soo</b> much fun</i>!! Not. And I won't get to bake for three days either, because I rarely bake for home since my family doesn't eat what I make. Oh well, I know everyone at school will!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> Back to the baking. I found this recipe after my friends would not stop bugging me about it! So I searched and I searched for a recipe that would suit my needs, then I stumbled upon a website called <a href="http://www.tablespoon.com/" target="_blank">Tablespoon</a>, and found <a href="http://www.tablespoon.com/recipes/oreo-stuffed-chocolate-chip-cookies/0a222ab7-125d-4310-9a3d-d737e14a4d48" target="_blank">this</a> recipe there. Now, the recipe on the site says that this makes 2 dozen cookies, but it all depends on how much dough you encase the oreo in. I make mine a little thicker around the oreo, but thats only because I use Double-Stuf Oreos.</span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">First you have to make your cookie dough! Without this, this whole recipe would <i>not</i> work. A simple cookie dough recipe could work, or even cookie dough from the store if you are in a hurry. I just like using the one from the original recipe, it is <i>soooo</i> good!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Then you take your Oreo, and encase it with the cookie dough. A good way to start is with some under the cookie, then wrap it around <i>lightly</i>. I say lightly because the Oreo itself can be fragile and might even break if you press too hard.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">When the Oreos are completely covered, they will look like this (roughly). This is a pretty good sized pan, but I only have three cookies in a row because they will expand. Not too much, but enough to know you could not possible fit another cookie per row. Then just stick them in the oven, and then after you take them out they are finished!</span></div>

And then Christmas, which is when the baking happens most! Well, unless you are at my house, there is a huge baking project every time we have people come over! This time is was for a cross-country spaghetti feed for my Brother and his team, and Laurie had the cooking to do while I baked. I was in the kitchen <i>four hours</i> after school on Wednesday, without stop. Here are pictures of what I made:</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">And I made Snickerdoodle Blondies and Bars (two seperate recipes). You can find the Snickerdoodle Blondies recipe <a href="http://sophiaatsophiasbakery.blogspot.com/2013/09/snickerdoodle-cupcakes.html" target="_blank">here</a> on my blog, and the Snickerdoodle Bars <a href="http://lilluna.com/snickerdoodle-bars/" target="_blank">here</a> from the <a href="http://lilluna.com/" target="_blank">Lil' Luna blog.</a> Both of these recipes were a huge hit at the Spaghetti feed, at school, and even at work. If you have the time, I would definitely take both of those recipes and try it for yourself!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> Now, the third recipe I made this week was mini Apple Cobblers. I wanted to make something using the apples that would never be eaten, yet I wanted to make something small and easy to take to school for selling purposes. Well, I knew I had <a href="http://sophiaatsophiasbakery.blogspot.com/2013/07/southern-peach-cobbler.html" target="_blank">this Peach Cobbler</a> and enough experience with Applesauce canning, that I knew exactly what I wanted to make. And then <i style="font-weight: bold;">Boom</i>, the recipe came to me! I thought why not combine the topping from the <a href="http://sophiaatsophiasbakery.blogspot.com/2013/07/southern-peach-cobbler.html" target="_blank">peach cobbler</a> and the applesauce apple coating, and create my own apple cobbler! That is just what I did, and it was a fairly easy recipe to make!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">First things first, you have to peel, core, and slice the apples. I should have used 2 instead of three, but the extra pieces can be cooked with some brown sugar over the top of them! The size of the apple slices are entirely up to you, since people can be picky about the size of their fruits. Then you will want to sprinkle some cinnamon and apple pie spice over the top, then stir to coat the apples. If they are not all coated, add a bit more of both spices, but too much can overpower the apple itself.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Then you will have to make the topping. If you remember from the <a href="http://sophiaatsophiasbakery.blogspot.com/2013/07/southern-peach-cobbler.html" target="_blank">peach cobbler</a> recipe, then you would remember that is is just flour, sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, salt, and hot water. This is what you will pour on top of the apples to get that fluffy topping.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The best way to bake these are in paper cups, that way the apples won't fall out when you try to take a mini cobbler out of the pan. After the apples are in and the topping is covering the apples, you can sprinkle a bit of a cinnamon-sugar mixture over the top. Then, bake for 15-25 minutes, or until the top has set. Cool and enjoy!</span></div>

<h2>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">DIRECTIONS:</span></h2>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a muffin pan with paper cup liners.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">2. Place the apples with the cinnamon and apple pie spice in a medium size bowl. Mix until the apples are well coated, adding more cinnamon or apple pie spice if needed. Evenly divide the apples into your prepared muffin pan.</span></div>

With the change in weather also means the flooding of apples at my house! And with these apples comes Applesauce-making time! But what about the extra apples that don't get applesauce-ed? Well, if they aren't eaten they get cooked into foods or desserts. Mostly pies, but this time I have a cookie recipe that uses apples!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> This recipe was found through <a href="http://pinterest.com/" target="_blank">Pinterest</a>, which sent me to <a href="http://redbookmag.com/" target="_blank">Redbook</a> to find <a href="http://www.redbookmag.com/recipefinder/soft-apple-spice-cookies-recipe" target="_blank">this recipe</a>. Now, I don't have any powdered sugar to make the icing, nor do I like icing my cookies, so I left it off. I also left out the cherries and walnuts, but the cookies taste amazing all the same. They are wonderfully light and fluffy, <i>plus</i> the perfect balance of cinnamon and apples. Try this recipe out if you have a chance!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">First things first, the apples. While you butter sits on the counter to soften you can be cutting up both the apples called for in the recipe. Now, I don't have a box grater so the smaller apples you see on the left are just chopped into small pieces. On the right they are slightly bigger, and this is just to help incorporate the whole apple flavor into the cookies.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> After you create the dough you have to mix the apples in. The dough will be pretty thick, but that is okay. That is <i>exactly</i> what you want for these cookies. Then you just stir in <i>all</i> the apples until everything is well incorporated.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> The last thing you do before the baking process is to drop dough by the spoonfuls onto your prepared cookie sheet. Either non-stick spray or parchment paper works fine for that. Plop it in the oven for 10-12 minutes, then <i>viola</i> they are done! You can eat them warm or wait until they are cooled off. Either way, they are amazing!</span></div>

The can be called <i>Garbage Cookies</i> or <i>Everything but the kitchen sink</i>, as well as a 'nicer' and 'cleaner' name, <i>Scrap Cookies</i>. They get their name from there ingredients, which really can be <i>anything</i>. I mean, this is the cookie where you can put in any leftover ingredients from previous baking jobs, and it will still taste fabulous! There is definitely no set recipe for this past the actual dough preparation, so go ahead and be creative!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> I originally received this recipe through a client of mine. Over the summer I catered for the first leg of her daughters Bat Mitzpha, and she provided the recipes. I also prepared <i>lemon bars</i>, <i>carmelita bars</i>, and <b>my favorite</b>, <i>M&M cookies</i>. All were fabulous, and the job ended well! Now these recipes sit in my notebook, waiting to again be picked up and shared to the goodness of the world. Hang on people, you will see them soon!</span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">These are the ingredients I blended into my batter. As you can see, I have: pretzels, oats, coconut, craisins, assorted nuts, and chocolate chips. You can also add in Rice Krispies cereal for a bit of crunch, or a specific nut if you only like certain kinds. And each of these ingredients are easily removable as well, especially since not everyone always like whats in a certain cookie. It's also easy to mix in any other items you can find laying around the kitchen, waiting to be used, so be creative!<i> Oooh</i> you can even make a Candy Scraps cookie with little candy pieces I might have to try that for Halloween, so be on the lookout for a recipe!</span></div>

Yum!</span></div>
