cookies

People in Buffalo are OBSESSED WITH cookies right now. I said this earlier this morning on Clay and Company. Anyone who is not in on this hype of delicious warm (or chilled) cookies, does not get it. But, once you take a step into Crumbl on Niagara Falls Boulevard and order, you will get it.

Dr. Seuss' character The Grinch has inspired a book, a couple movies, and now one of your favorite holiday treats.

Yeah, baby!! A new Girl Scout cookie is being rolled out--Caramel Chocolate Chip that is being called rich caramel, semi-sweet chocolate chips, and a hint of sea salt in a chewy cookie". The cookie will have a gluten free option, but they will be available in certain markets...

Grocery stores always seem to have sales on flour, sugar and butter at around this time of year to help you get stocked up on all of the key ingredients for making cookies

These are heavenly and Rob Banks always gets excited when I have some for him. The cookie is basically Nutella is inside a delicious brown butter chocolate chip cookie that is topped with some course sea salt! The cookies are sweet from the chocolate, brown butter and Nutella which is why the sea salt is key...

Today is National Sugar Cookie Day. There’s no Congressional record or Presidential proclamation of it, just a fun day designated to baking and eating sugar cookies. It was back in the 1700’s when German settlers brought with them to Pennsylvania a simple recipe for cookies that called for just six ingredients; sugar, flour, butter, eggs, vanilla, and baking powder.

I remember when I was a kid my mom used to bring home Hydrox cookies. That was the brand name. They were almost identical to Oreos, but they were cheaper. So that’s the one that was chosen over the more popular Oreos. The Oreos were so much better, so you get what you pay for. Or were they?

Honestly, I look forward every year for girl scout cookies. This year not ONE girl scout came to my house. Therefore, I had to outsource. Now, that I have had every cookie (minus the lemon ones...I can't stand lemon) I'll rank them. What's your favorite girl scout cookie?

According to the latest Foodnetwork.com poll, chips and dip lead the way as America's "go-to snack", but with only 25% of the vote.  (Not the run-away favorite that everyone thought the good ole potato chip was!!) Fresh fruit was also very popular with 24% of the vote. 19% favored.......

Christmas cookies and holiday hearts...that's the way the holiday starts.  After reading about these recipes that song is stuck in my head!!
