I made cookies for a Salad Bar Potluck at work (I know), but I thought a cookie with fruit fit the theme.
Cherry is a fruit. Coconut is a fruit, right? And sugar is a fruit. Okay, I promise I’m not dumb. Continue reading

Recipe 25: Molasses-Ginger Crisps
A few days passed and I finally cooled off from my Chocolate Chip Cookie fury. Don’t get me wrong, I still want to have a chat with Martha about that recipe, but I must go on.
I decided to make these “ginge” cookies. The recipe included a video of Martha making them and they looked simple. I wasn’t about to have another failure so soon.

Recipe 23: Peanut Butter and Jelly Bars
PB&J is obviously the best flavor of sandwich this side of the galaxy, so I was excited to see a “cookie” form of it.
I thought this would be an easy one because there weren’t many ingredients. I was kind of right.
I had to go shopping because who keeps at least 2 1/2 cups of peanut butter in their house? Continue reading
