I swear these cookies taste much more interesting then they look. As I was photographing them, I noticed just how …. monochrome is the best word …. they are. They are delicious, with those new-ish sea salt caramel chip from Hershey, but those are beige as well and blend right into the oatmeal cookie. Trust me, they are super yummy!

Warning: Potholes!! Cupcakes
(Chocolate Cupcakes with Oreo Cocoa Buttercream Frosting)
And now for something completely different: Not Easter, but Pothole Cupcakes! The roads are so rutted up here in the Bangor, Maine area that I was inspired to make these cupcakes as a bit of a joke. And I brought them over to the Bangor Maine Police Department as an excuse to visit the Duck of Justice. Fun times!
I will be the first to admit that the idea for making fried egg linzer cookies for Easter was not my idea. It came from Flour Bakery + Cafe, but I loved it, and I make Linzer Cookies so often that I thought I would add these to the website. They are fresh, pretty and very spring-like…. and make me feel like having breakfast. Perfect addition to Easter Baskets!
OK, one more go at these “Really Big Cookie” Style of Cookie before I move on to something else. I decided the take the “Mega-Cookie” / “Bakery-style Cookie” to a new level by adding Rolos — you know, the caramel-filed chocolate candies? I froze them cut them in half and them added them to the cookie dough. Turned out — well basically like chocolate chip caramel cookies! I could have used the mini-rolos too, but the shops were out when I went looking. I’ll move on to something different now, but wanted to have one more go at them.
