    • Reese’s Cookie Bars

      Posted at 8:33 am by NativeNM, on November 19, 2013

      Reeses-Cookie-Bars-15

      I was in New Mexico over Halloween this year leaving Joe to take over the job of handing out candy for the trick or treaters.  I asked him to save any leftover Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups so that I might bake a batch of cookies.  It was a light crowd so he had plenty of candy left over.  I know he had to use all his willpower not eat those Reese’s, but to his credit he hid them away in the freezer until I got home.  After thinking about it I decided cookie bars were the way to go.  I found a great recipe from “Mom On Time Out” that sounded so good I just had to try it out.  For all the peanut butter lovers, these bars are for you!

    • Heath Bar Cookies

      Posted at 8:11 am by NativeNM, on July 18, 2013

      Heath-Bar-Cookies-11

      Recently we had some family over for a get together and I made a batch of heath bar cookies. Yes, I braved the hot oven but it wasn’t so bad, I started early and got done before the heat really set in.  Cookies make people happy no matter what time of year even though it might be a challenge to bake during the hot summer month’s.  I added a few toffee pieces just as they came out of the oven which melted right into the cookie for an added bit of crunchy topping.

    • Oatmeal, Peanut Butter and Chocolate Chip Cookies

      Posted at 8:47 am by NativeNM, on April 19, 2013

      Oatmeal-PB-&-CC-Cookies-7

      If you’ve ever heard of kitchen sink cookies, they have a little bit of everything baked into them. One might call these pantry cookies because it was the pantry that I went searching for something inspired.  What I found was a leftover bag of chocolate chips, a jar of peanut butter and some oats.  Any one of them would make good cookies but why limit my choices to only one when I could have them all?  So I added a bit of each to my mix and the combination was a resounding YUM!

    • Peanut Butter Cookies

      Posted at 9:13 am by NativeNM, on December 4, 2012

      Joe loves this time of year because it’s the time of year that I bake cookies.  He loves all sweets but cookies are his favorite.  I’ve been making these peanut butter cookies for several years now from a recipe I found in a Penzey’s spice catalog.  There are some great recipes in that catalog!  I love big chewy cookies and these cookies virtually bend, they are so soft.

    • White Chocolate Macadamia Nut Cookies

      Posted at 8:35 am by NativeNM, on October 19, 2012

      The wait is over!  My homemade Vanilla Extract and Vanilla sugar that I started in August is finally ready.   I waited 8 weeks and it’s finally time to try it out.  I found just the recipe, White Chocolate Macadamia Nut cookies.  I love white chocolate, which isn’t really chocolate at all, but that’s beside the point.  And I have several cans of Macadamia nuts that Joe and I brought back from Hawaii saving for a special occasion.  I think unveiling the Vanilla Extract and Vanilla Sugar is pretty special.  The cookies turned out pretty good too!

    • Dark Chocolate Pretzel Cookies with Sea Salt

      Posted at 9:34 am by NativeNM, on December 20, 2011

      Everywhere I turn I see recipes combining dark chocolate and sea salt.  My hubby Joe loves dark chocolate and pretzels so I decided to bake up some of these trendy cookies and see what all the fuss was about.   It’s hard to describe but you get a bite of sweet and then a bite of crunchy saltiness chasing behind.  I kept thinking it was that it was like the first time I sipped a sweet margarita in a salty rimmed glass.  If you like sweet and salty things, this is the cookie for you.

    • Oatmeal Cookies

      Posted at 10:03 am by NativeNM, on December 13, 2011

      I’ve been craving cookies, maybe more like I crave baking cookies.  The kitchen is my sanctuary on cold winter days with the oven warming and the aroma of fresh cookies baking.  And what’s better than a warm cookie and a glass of milk to lift your spirits.  I decided I’d just go with what I could find in the pantry since I didn’t want to go to the store.  When I spotted the oats, my decision was made . . . Oatmeal Cookies.
