Malt or I’ll Shoot! (Malted Milk Chocolate Cookies)

Le Petit BonBon | December 25, 2010 | By

These cookies are crunchy and they taste like a malted milk shake. Don’t try to move them when they are fresh out of the oven or you will end up with a mushy mess. But a mushy mess just means you get to eat that one because it got, “messed up” right? So maybe try to move just one…or two…

Hubby’s note: By the time my wife teaches our daughters to master the art of baking her amazing cookies, I will weigh 500 pounds. Seriously. You can catch me on Biggest Loser 2020.

French Kiss in a Peanut Butter Hot Tub (Peanut Butter with Chocolate Kisses)

Le Petit BonBon | December 25, 2010 | By

Peanut butter and chocolate. Whoever came up with Reese’s recipe is a genius because those two flavors really are the perfect pair. Just be sure your dough isn’t too soft when you bake these cookies. Otherwise they come out flat and once you push the chocolate kiss into it…It’s doesn’t really look like, um, a cookie anymore.

Hubby’s note: I’ve got nothing. Nothing tops Peanut Butter and Chocolate.

So…..I have a secret. Well, if you know me, it’s not soo secret. But the recipe? I’ll be buried with it. Some of my friends affectionately call them “crack cookies”. I think the name speaks for itself.

Crockpot Tortilla Soup

Dinner | December 25, 2010 | By

The past two winters in California have been less than fun. Us Californians are used to having short winters with a month or two TOPS of rain. However with all of this global warming hullabaloo we had no summer last year and two very long, rainy, windy and cold winters. Our poor agriculture took a massive hit. So, that left us stuck in doors quite a bit. With the fireplace going almost every night, soup just sounds GOOD. This crockpot tortilla soup is a fabulously easy meal to throw in first thing in the morning and then forget about so you can tackle bigger things like “where in the world can we go play indoors today with the kids where they won’t catch some germs and get sick…again!”
