Cookies

Cookies are probably my favorite dessert to make for family and friends. There are so many different varieties and they are all their own bites of deliciousness. You can double a recipe and it makes a lot with minimal effort and time. Over the years I've made quite of few, but these are the favorites that we always seem to come back to, basically because you can interchange with different M&M flavors and waalaaa, it's a whole different cookie. Chocolate and Peanut butter are by far my favorite flavors of any dessert, so when I found this recipe I was very excited. They taste as good as they look!

I like to put my dough in the refrigerator. The purpose is to solidify the fat in the dough so the cookies will not spread excessively in the oven and the cookies become soft and tender when baked. It really does work!

I made more cookies but switched out with the regular peanut butter M&M's(I also included chocolate chips). They were very good!! In fact they were in high demand at Ryan's lunch table. One friend told Ryan he'd pay him to make 80 cookies - Ha!

A new recipe we tried this year was for No Bake Pumpkin Spice Cookies. They were so good!! We love regular No Bakes, and these were equally as delicious!! Unfortunately I didn't take any pictures, but they were gone in a flash!

Flash of Fall

It took forever to get here and then it was gone in a flash. It's the best time of year, and I wish it would last longer. If fall was 2-4 months and winter 1-2, I'd be very happy about that arrangement. The most beautiful colors are found in the fall, and when the weather behaves it's a cool 70 and sunny - the very best! However, this fall season we only had 2-4 days with wonderful fall weather in all of it's beauty. I really need more than that, but I did manage to snap a few photos along the way.

Come back Fall....we miss you already!!
