I will be old and jolly on my deathbed, 80 years from now, and people will ask, “Danielle, what is your secret to living this happy life?” And I will say, “I ate all the chocolate chip cookies.” And somewhere amongst them all was my recipe for “Let’s Pretend They’re Healthy” Hearty Chocolate Chip Cookies.

The Fudgiest Brownies on Earth
This is called killing two birds with one stone.
My blogging duties are caught right in between the Superbowl and Valentine’s Day and these brownies are PERFECT in general and also perfect for game watchin’ and for impressin’ the men in your life (or ladies or friends or luvahhhhs). They’re also PERFECT for the other 363 days of the year. Pinkie promise.

Fudgy Double Chocolate Peppermint Cookies
Oh heyyyy, Christmas cookies. There you are. Thought I forgot about you, huh?
Nope. This is the opposite of forgetting about cookies. I sent these cookies to a friend back in April and I’ve been dreaming of double fudgy chewy moist decadent chocolatey chip cookies ever since. But those cookies didn’t have peppermint. Little chewy and crunchy half-melted red-swirled peppermints that elevate the cookies from oh-mah-gah-must-eat-one-now to oh-mah-gah-must-eat-EVERYSINGLEONE-now.

Chocolate-Dipped Coffee Coconut Bran Flake Snacks
I come to you this afternoon from my bedroom, wrapped up in a sweatshirt, house slippers on, under the covers of my bed, wondering if I have the energy to fetch another blanket to make myself an extra snuggly cocoon.

Days like this deserve treats. And rainy days deserve treats. And since we’ve had so many rainy days in a row that I’ve lost count, I’m giving you this treat recipe. And because there is a string of more rainy days ahead, I know that you’ll be indoors, in your still and quiet and clean house, making treats like you deserve.

Chocolate-Dipped Butterscotch Cookies
My friend Chris is an old man. And old men like… loafers, and peppermint, and coffee, and the smell of tobacco, and flat caps. (I’m making so much of this up.) And butterscotch. My old man friend Chris is no exception. He likes all of the above (again, making some of this up), and he LOVES butterscotch. At least, he loves when I make homemade butterscotch treats just for him.
And, because my last butterscotch baked good gift to Chris was in December, he was due another gift. (FYI – He gets gifts because he gives gifts in return. It’s like an exchange program for food.)

This recipe for Almond Raspberry Thumbprint Cookies starts with a shortbread base that is soft as pillows in the middle and a little crumbly around the edges. It’s finished with a sweet jammy center that’s a little gooey and not too sticky. And they are good.

Bourbon Dark Chocolate Pecan Pie Cookies
7 Days of Christmas Cookies: Cookie #4
Yeah… I did this…
Tell me these don’t deserve a gold star.
I was searching for Christmas Cookies on Pinterest and found a photo of Pecan Pie Cookies that looked 7 Days of Christmas Cookies worthy. Then I remembered a Bourbon Dark Chocolate Pecan Pie I made for Thanksgiving one time.
