GOOD TASTE: Cranberry White Chocolate Chip Cookies

For Christmas I received the most delicious batch of Cranberry White Chocolate Chip Cookies from my friend Vicky. She always bakes delicious treats and these are definitely one of my favorites. The slightly tart cranberries and the white chocolate are the perfect combination paired with a a traditional chocolate chip cookie batter.

WEEKEND INSPIRATION: Chocolate Chip Cookies–Muffin Style

I call these Mookies. Cookies baked in a muffin tin. This wasn’t actually intended to be a post here on the blog. I just made these “Mookies” for the family and decided to snap a few photos with my phone. The Mookies were such a hit with my family and my son’s friends, that I felt I had to share them with you.

GOOD TASTE: Peanut Butter Chocolate Button Cookies

Did I mention we’re having an end-of-summer heat wave here in Southern California? We are. The kind of heat where you just don’t want to do anything. Plus, since we live near the coast, we don’t have air conditioning. We rely on an ocean breeze that has been letting us down lately.

So, onto the reason I'm here today! To share a tasty (seriously, OMG) recipe for Peanut Butter & Jelly Cookies! This idea came to me after standing in front of the vending machine at my office, indecisive between the raspberry thumbprint cookies and the peanut butter and cracker sandwiches. All it took was finding an old handwritten recipe of my mom's to kick me into gear!

GOOD TASTE: Peanut Butter Cookie Cups with Salted Caramel Ice Cream

There are some days when I count my blessing even more than others. Like days when I get to to come up with a recipe using ice cream that was sent to me. Not just any old ice cream but Graeter’s ice cream. It’s my absolute favorite brand of ice cream. Graeter’s still makes their ice cream in a French Pot two gallons at a time and it’s rich and creamy and oh-so good.

Today, I'm sharing an amazing cookie recipe that I've been making for years. I love these cookies so much because they are not just chewy but also crispy! How, you ask? They are nicely chewy in the middle but sweet and crispy on the outside.

My son loves Oreo cookies. I’ve been packing them in his lunch for years. If I ask him if he wants something different he says “No, I love Oreos!”

So when I was asked to spread the news about Kroger’s Cart Buster event I was thrilled to find out that Oreos were one of the Deal of the Day items.

If you’re like me, you grocery shop a lot. You cut coupons and try to find the best deals for the items that you normally purchase. That’s why Kroger’s Cart Buster and Deal of the Day event is such good news.

Beginning the week of February 26th, 2012, the Kroger Co. Family of Stores is having their Cart Buster Savings Event. You’ll find great savings in almost every department at the Kroger Family of Stores.

Plus, for seven days during the Cart Buster Savings Event {2/29/12 - 3/6/12} there will be even more savings with exclusive offers good on one participating item. Each digital coupon offer will be exclusive and available for one-day only – but the coupon savings will be good for the duration of the entire event.

The Oreo cookie Deal of the Day coupon will be available on March 6th and is good for $1.50 off a package of Oreo cookies. If I can hide some of the cookies from my son, I’m going to try this recipe for Oreo Cookies and Cream No-Bake Cheesecake. Doesn’t it look delicious?

Each day, the deal will be a different product – so remember to download your Deal of the Day coupons. You can download them here.

 

Happy shopping and savings!
