Merry Christmas everyone! We’ve reached the end of 12 Days of Christmas and honestly, I’m a little sad about it. But! With every end there is a new beginning, right? The new year is just around the corner and I have so many good things in store for ya’ll. 2020 is going to be full of recipes, travel, baby/toddler navigating, DIY, and so much more.
Merry Christmas Eve! We are on day ELEVEN of 12 days of Christmas! SO crazy that is almost Christmas! Does anybody else get as excited as I do thinking about other people opening the gifts that you got for them? I swear I’m more excited for Oliver and Christian than I am myself. Like, Oliver doesn’t even understand the concept of opening gifts. I’m probably just an insane person. Every Christmas Eve my brother and I, and our significant others, travel down to my mom’s house and have a private little Christmas without the whole entire family there. We somehow made it a tradition to go out for Asian food every Christmas Eve and I’m not mad about it. I don’t know how this even started but what I do know is we all end up eating entirely too much and become wastes of space for a good hour.
Happy Monday ya’ll! It’s day TEN of 12 Days of Cookies. That means only two days left! As we reach the end I wanted to share one of my favorites with you. Not just my favorite in these 12 days, but one of my favorite cookies I’ve ever eaten. And guys.. I’ve eaten a lot of cookies.
Day nine! Holy cats! There’s only three days left of 12 Days of cookies! Christmas is just around the corner and it’s seriously warm out. Living in Wisconsin I’ve become accustom to -0 weather and lots and lots of snow come late December – February. But ya’ll, it’s almost 50 degrees out. It’s like I really, REALLY want to enjoy it, but in the back of my head I’m just thinking about how our planet is slowly dying. So, it’s super depressing.
Welcome back to 12 days of Cookies! On day eight I gift to you, Monster Cookies. I decided to take the name seriously and I literally make these cookies monstrous. These are BIG.
Day SEVEN ya’ll! We’re seven days in on 12 Days of cookies! We’re over half way now so I thought it would be a good time to throw in a super fun and cute Christmas cookie. I mean look at these things. They’re chunky little Santa’s. How can you not love these. I saw these cookies on halfbakedharvest.com and immediately thought of what a great addition to a cookie platter these would be and started testing them out.
Hey guys! We’re on day SIX of 12 Days of cookies. That means we’re halfway through! That also means Christmas is less than a week away and I still need to Christmas shop. Yikes. Does anyone else wait until the last minute to buy gifts? I swear every year I’m like “next year I’m buying all my gifts in October and November and not causing a self inflicted anxiety attack”. Then the next year rolls around and it’s six days before christmas and I’ve boughten some slippers and a candy bar in which I ate on the way home. I’ll never learn.
Today is a good day ya’ll. Not only is the week already half over and Christmas just a week away, but I made Chocolate cookies. Not just cookies with chocolate chips, not a chocolate dipped cookie, the whole freaking thing is chocolate and I’m super excited about it, if you couldn’t tell. These cookies are SO GOOD. They’re soft, a little chewy, fudgy, and oh so heavenly. They’re almost brownie like. The outside gets a thin crispy layer while the inside stay super soft and moist.
Happy Tuesday and day four of 12 Days of Cookies! Today is bitter cold and all I want to do is watch Christmas movies and …
Welcome to day three of 12 Days of Cookies! So today we’re going a little out of the box. Everyone loves chocolate chip cookies right? Well think chocolate chip cookies with a twist. Something that when you taste you’ll think, “what is that?” That something? Tahini.
