Cowboy Cookies

Cowboy Cookies 1

I met a dear of friend whom I haven’t seen in about 8 years the other day at the park. We have been friends since the second grade. She was in town with her family and we had a couple hours to catch up. We finally got to meet one another’s kids and talk life is if no time had passed. It was such a refreshing time and I love how true friendships pick up right where they left off.

We decided to have a picnic at the park and I had treated Cooper to bacon mac n cheese and a cowboy cookie. This inspired my cravings for more oatmeal cookies but the whole gambit was involved in these delicious cowboy cookies.

Meanwhile, Michael is not a fan of oatmeal cookies so I made him his treat and than proceeded to make these for me. :) Needless to say, he still adored these cookies as well and ate quite a few….not trying to throw him under the bus or anything, but the truth must be told. :)

Chocolate Chip Snickerdoodle Blondies 

DESSERTS!!!

It seriously must be “that” time of the month for me. And yes, I did just say that! :) I am craving, pinning and gaining weight all over looking at pictures of what I want to make to satisfy my “fat foodie” days.

The gloomy aspect outside isn’t helping with my dessert cravings either. Typically when it’s warm outside I have less cravings, but the colder it gets and the quicker winter approaches, I have my extra 5 pounds stored up for winter to help keep me warm. :)

Part of the weight gain comes from these amazing Snickerdoodle Blondies. They are incredibly moist and utterly satisfying for those days you simply need something sweet. Take the pan to the couch and enjoy every bite if that will make you feel better! :)

Ingredients:

  • 3/4 cups butter
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tbsp vanilla
  • 2 1/3 cup flour
  • 1 1/4 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 350 degrees and grease a 9×13 baking dish. Set aside.

In a stand mixer, beat butter on medium speed until light and fluffy (1-2 minutes).
