Hot Chocolate Marshmallow Cookies
Day 6 of the 12 Days of Christmas Cookie Recipes 2020 While I was brainstorming the various holiday flavors I could think of to inspire my cookie creations, hot chocolate was one of the first to come to mind. There’s hardly anything more “holiday spirit” then seeing some beautiful holiday Christmas lights and then coming home to a hot mug of cocoa. I almost feel like it’s something that has to be put on everyone’s holiday bucketlist… Something that always makes me laugh is the huge disparity in between the hot chocolate options in Utah and Arizona (and probably everywhere else, haha). Here I feel like we have very limited…

Grandma Swainston’s Sugar Cookies
Day 5 of the Twelve Days of Christmas Today’s recipe share is one that is close to my heart! I am sharing a recipe that has been passed down through my mom’s side of the family, my great-grandma’s classic sugar cookies. My great-grandma Swainston was quite the baker herself. She and her friends would bake together (usually making pies 😅) growing up and she had quite the collection of recipes. My great grandma also happens to be one of my heroes. She was adventurous, spunky, independent, and I’ll never forget how she took the time to get to know each of her “greats” individually. She always made me feel so…

Yes, I said it. *THE* most amazing apple cookie recipe of all time. When these cookies hit your taste buds you will not know how to contain yourself. Texts I’ve received from friends and family members that I’ve given these cookies to: “The apple pie cookie is freaking amazing…seriously tastes like apple pie a la mode” “Did you sneak some crack cocaine in the white chocolate chips…I have never tasted something so good” and “I can’t control…

Muddy Buddy Peanut Butter Cookies
Day 3 of the 12 Days of Christmas Cookie Recipes 2020 Soft cookie, creamy filling, and a crunchy topping. I honestly can’t say if there is a better cookie out there. These muddy buddy cookies are definitely my top 3 cookie recipes of all time and I have held the recipe so close to me for so long! These are my babies! 😂 I am a HUGE fan of the peanut butter/chocolate combo. If I’m handed a dessert menu, chances are prettyyyy high that I will go for the peanut butter chocolate ANYTHING. It’s just one of those given things in my life. So while the normal recipe really isn’t…

Gingerbread Oatmeal Cream Pies with Cinnamon Filling
Today’s recipe is for Day 2 of 12 Days of Christmas Cookies 2020 Before I start writing about these cookies I must preface something I have found to be true…there are two types of people in this world: those who love ginger cookies and those who don’t. Well, turns out this cookie recipe is for both types of people. It is seriously so good. So good in fact that after I gave my friend a few to take home to her family she texted me that she was going to keep them a secret from her husband and kids 😂 Doesn’t help that she happens to be pregnant, either… Anyway,…
