Ever since my dad gave me the The Great Minnesota Cookie Book for Christmas years ago, I’ve wanted an excuse to bake these pumpkin cookies from Amy and Judy Karlen. I bookmarked the page my first time through the book, but thought that Christmas was not the time for pumpkin cookies. And, every year since,…

Bakery Style Chocolate Chip Cookies (Chocolate Chip Cookie #14)
I didn’t plan to blog about these chocolate chip cookies because, well, I wasn’t expecting much. I didn’t even bother to take decent photos… but here we are! These cookies are lovely – they have a caramely, almost butterscotchy flavor, crisp edges, and tender center. They were a total hit at work, and took under…
Cranberry Oatmeal Cookies
It’s pretty unusual for my husband to make a request for a specific baked good, so when he does, I do my best to deliver. That was the case with these Cranberry Oatmeal Cookies – he asked, and I wanted to make it happen! A quick search for recipes online didn’t come up with much,…
Chewy Chocolate Chocolate Chip Cookies
Hey all you cool cats and kittens! I hope you and your loved ones are safe and healthy during this extraordinary time. My husband and I haven’t been feeling great and miss our friends and families terribly, but we’re lucky enough to both be able to work from home (for now) so we’re doing OK…
Pistachio Cardamom Cookies { vegan }
Last night we had our neighbors over for dinner. After a full spread of vegan Indian food, we topped off the evening with a cup of tea and these delightful cookies. We went slightly overboard on the menu for four people – samosas, roti, three. different. chutneys!, palak tofu, dal, chai, AND these cookies –…
Martha Stewart’s Cakey Chocolate Chip Cookies (Chocolate Chip Cookie #12)
We recently had new neighbors move in, and of course, I’m back on the chocolate chip cookie train! This time, I decided to try Martha Stewart’s Cakey Chocolate Chip Cookies recipe from her Cookies cookbook. I’m definitely not a crunchy cookie person – give me a chewy or cakey cookie any day – so these…
Peanut-Peanut Butter-Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies
You know, every so often, I just have one of those days that is so cruddy that my only real hope is devouring a really good cookie. I had one of those a few weeks ago, and thankfully, my girl Martha Stewart came to my rescue. When I had my “cookies. now.” day, I first…
Chewy Brownie Cookies (accidentally Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free)
When we were invited over to our friends’ place for dinner the other night, I was honestly going to bring that awesome salad and call it a day, but when I found out there wasn’t any dessert, I was forced to act. ^_^ One of our friends doesn’t eat gluten or dairy, so a lot…
Chocolate Amaretto Cookies
Oh my goodness you guys, it has been weeks! I have a pretty good excuse, though – we just got back from an amazing trip to Italy!! We had a fantastic time visiting Rome, Milan, Venice, and Florence. We saw awe-inspiring sights, enjoyed incredible food, and met some lovely people….but more on that later, let’s…
Big Soft and Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies (#11)
As I mentioned yesterday, we’ve had 6 new families move into the neighborhood recently. Since I had put off getting welcome baskets out to them, I had to kick it into high gear and get some cookies baked while the weather was still cool enough to use the oven! The first batch of cookies made…
Betty Crocker’s Chocolate Chip Cookies (#10)
We’ve had SIX new families move into our neighborhood in the last month or so. This may be a record! Normally I’d try to get welcome baskets out to them in a timely manner (is it really a great welcome if it comes 3 months after they move in?), but the weather was hot, sticky,…
Soft Extra-Large Lemon Cookies
As part of a double birthday at the office, I made two types of cookies based on the requests of “something lemony” and “something chocolatey” – these lovely lemon (like that alliteration? Me too.) cookies were the something lemony, and they were a huge huge HUGE hit! Until now, the only lemon cookies I had…
Extra-Large Double Chocolate Cookies
I’m not sure what has changed at our company in the last few years, but apparently double birthdays are a regular thing now! This time I made two types of large and chewy cookies based on the requests of “something chocolatey” and “something lemony” For the “something chocolatey” I made these HUGE Double Chocolate Cookies….
Amish Drop Sugar Cookies
Last weekend my husband had the guests of his best friend’s bachelor party meet at our house before heading out for the evening. Happy hostess that I am, I just had to make them something to nosh on! I had plans to do something elaborate, but once we were 2 hours away from party time,…

Hey, it’s me, Leesha, your favorite Chocolate Chip Cookie Specialist, back again with a batch of, you guessed it, Chocolate Chip Cookies!
