I was going to make these cookies last week already, as it was around Canada Day and maple things remind me of Canada, go figure. But then life got in the way and so I made them this week. Kinda healthy, very delicious and too big to eat in just one bite. Oh, and did I mention delicious?

More strawberries! And more crumble bars. These really are my “go to” thing when I need something quick and delicious, minimal effort, maximum output. And it helps if you just went strawberry picking an have homemade jam. This variety also has a bit of lemon zest in the shortbread and believe it or not, a little bit of thyme. No, it doesn’t taste “herby” though. 🙂
Sundae Funday! Happy Sunday everyone! It’s a beautiful day and I hope that there might be some ice cream in your future. When I was a little girl, the Italian gelato place that we went to didn’t have cones. You always got your frozen goodness in a dish, but they always added a small pizzelle. So that got me to thinking … isn’t a pizzelle just a flat cone? After looking at the ingredients for cones and pizzelle, yup, they are. These are extra-special though, so meant for Sundays (I mean Sundaes) with the chocolate and sprinkles.
As it turns out, it wasn’t really red enough (just more cocoa-y), but I did find this recipe for Red Velvet Blossoms that also rolled the cookies in red sugar and I thought they looked neat, so here is one more submission for Chocolate Week. Using Hershey’s Hugs instead of Kisses is also a nice touch to get them to stand out. This is a recipe that I’ll add to the Valantine’s Day list too!
I was going to call these cookies “Clearing out the Pantry” or “Everything AND the Kitchen Sink Cookies” because they are loaded with as many varieties of chocolate chips as I could find: Semi-sweet chocolate, white chocolate, espresso chips and Bailey’s Chips. In fact, there are so many chips in the cookies that I had a hard time getting them to stick together. But in the end, they did, and combine all those chips with a chocolate cookie as the base and we have chocolate overload (appropriate given that is Chocolate-Week in the CSPS Bake/Cook-a-long).
