Favorite Cookie Recipes

I've actually gotten into the swing of baking again. We had several parties over the weekend, and I volunteered to bring dessert to each of them. Here are some of my favorites that I have found via Pinterest. The blogs that these come from share some delicious recipes. Make sure you follow them through email or social media to get their recipes in the future.

Also, please pin images from their sites. That will mean the future pins will go to directly to the recipes instead of here.

These Rolo Cookies shared on the blog Six Sisters' Stuff are delicious and easy to make. You literally use four ingredients.  Talk about perfect for someone like me!

These cookies are from the blog Taste & Tell.  Like the Rolo Cookies these are a cake mix recipe too. These taste amazing with the strawberry cake flavor. Wynn especially loves these because they are pink.

The blog Sugar Cooking shares this out of this world recipe for Pretzel Chocolate Peanut Butter Chip cookies. The added pretzel bits make this one of my favorites. Unfortunately this blog has not had new posts in a while, but there are several delicious recipes shared.

 These Smores Cookies from Six Sisters' Stuff are fantastic. They were a big hit when I brought them to the parties over the weekend. They take a few steps to make, but they are simple. This recipe is going to be a go to in my house from now on.

These Meyer Lemon Cookies by My Baking Addiction are so chewy and yummy. They are another easy to make recipe, and the lemon zest added in make them taste even better. I always send some cookies over to my neighbors after I bake them, and their friend had one and said it was the best cookie she ever had!

I know you probably had a lot of treats over the holiday weekend if you were celebrating the 4th, but I promise you these are worth making for yourself to enjoy anytime.

Soft and Chewy Peppermint Cookies

I had recently tried out a soft and chewy cookie recipe and decided to add my own twist to it.  Instead of chocolate chips I chose to use peppermint M&M's.  Here is the delicious recipe:

Chewy Peppermint Cookies

Ingredients: 
1 cup of shortening
1 cup of brown sugar
1/2 cup of white sugar
2 eggs
2 tbsp of hot water
1 tsp of baking soda
1 tsp of salt
1 tsp of vanilla
3 cups of flour
1 bag of peppermint M&M's or any type of your favorite candy 

Preheat your oven to 325 degrees.  In a mixer combine shortening and sugars. Next dissolve baking soda in hot water and mix in. Then add two eggs and mix until well combined.  Next add vanilla, salt, and flour. Once these ingredients are well mixed then add the M&M's to the mixer. Roll into balls, and then cook in the oven for approximately 11-13 minutes.  Let cool on cookie sheet and then a wire rack.  Enjoy!
