And by that I mean tasty recipes for co-worker’s birthdays, and for this round I bring you mint chocolate chip cookies!

Or stress eat, since we’re closing on our house this week! The recipe makes a good number too, probably around 30+…

Craving chocolate? Try these cookies, packed with sweetness from the chocolate, a hint of bitterness from the espresso, and savory from the salt. Every flavor you could want, in a deliciously soft cookie! – – I was really craving chocolate the other day, and it’s honestly been a little while since I’ve had that “got-to-have-it” feeling! I’ve been on more of a savory kick, reveling in recipes like butter sage sweet potato gnocchi and french onion burgers. But for someone who doesn’t drink coffee, this recipe is a surprising favorite of mine! I think the thing that does me in is the full…

When the holidays roll around, and all those yummy dishes are on the table, sometimes you just need a break! Don’t get me wrong, I looooove traditional holiday foods: mashed potatoes, ham, sweet potatoe casserole, all those yummy Christmas cookies! But sometimes you want to just put it on pause, and take a breather. And I think these meringues are just thing! They’re super light, but the light mint flavor still feels festive. Plus there’s chocolate chips, so it wins all around in my book. Plus, this is a perfect recipe to make when you are busy using all that…

Addicting. I’m tempted to just leave it at that. This is a festive cookie if ever I did see one! Holiday baking, here I come! These are the perfect chewy cookie, and there’s a hint of peppermint in the actual cookie, reinforced by that slight crunch of crushed peppermint. But the peppermint is mild, and not overpowering, and because of that it keeps you going back for more! You can use whatever kind of candy canes you want–peppermint or spearmint, and I bet even the fruity ones would be a cute surprise! Plus there’s all those wacky candy cane flavors…

Sometimes I’m skeptical of advertised “softbatch” cookies, because I’ve had hit or miss experiences with whether they actually turn out as advertised. This recipe really was a good softbatch cookie recipe though! They weren’t quite as puffy as I usually prefer, but they were soft, and definitely a good chewy. The original recipe from Kim on The ChocolaTess uses pudding mix, and typically I’m a huge fan of using this secret ingredient in cookies. Just see my pudding sprinkle cookies, and my cookies and creme cookies recipes from some ah-mazingly tasty examples. However, since this recipe didn’t specify using a whole packet, I decided to…

These are yum and fun to pull out! I found that the recipe I used (see below) was actually a bit sweet, and judging by my taste-test of the batter, I think the cookies lost some of their cake-batter-ness with the addition of the sugars. No, I didn’t eat 4 cookies worth of dough … >.>. Shhhhh. Next time I think I’ll try leaving out the sugar. Or maybe make a full batch leaving all sugar out of one half, and adding only brown sugar to the other half. Will have to do some experimenting. I know all my friends…
