I tried this new recipe last week, and I have to say it's now one of my favorite cookie recipes EVER! Think delicious, moist, dark chocolate brownie bites, with melty semi-sweet chocolate chips! Seriously SO good! These would make the perfect little V-Day treat for a chocolate lover!! (The one thing I did change is the size of the cookies! The original recipe calls for each cookie to use 4 oz. of dough to make a dozen super large cookies. Using my regular cookie scoop I got a better cookie size and it made 4 dozen! Just reduce the baking time!) … [Read more...]

Tutorial Tuesday-Just Because
For some reason Adobe doesn't want to make PDF's for me right now...so while I figure it out tonight and have the download ready to go for you tomorrow (scroll down, Adobe likes me again and the links are up!), here's a sneak peek of the project: Tomorrow I'll have the bag topper and candy wrapper labels for your downloading pleasure! Edited: Ok, download the two PDF's and you're good to go! I wrapped the labels around Hershey's Nuggets so all you'll need is a bag of those and you're ready! The instructions for the bag toppers are in the download and I just added a simple silver rhinestone for something extra. Here's the links! … [Read more...]
Tutorial Tuesday – Valentines Treasures
I am super excited! I have sooooo many downloads for you today! I've got a project, card, AND a Valentine's Day font for you! All FREE! And a sale in my shop if you don't have any of the cute silver DVD tins for storing your treasures in! All the papers and labels needed for this project can be downloaded. In addition to the label PDF here and the case cover PDF here you'll need 1 bag of Hershey's Treasures and 1 DVD tin, some double sided tape, and glitter if you want a little sparkle. I used the Diamond Stickles. This color is awesome because it takes on the color of whatever you put it on, essentially getting many different colors … [Read more...]
The REAL Neiman Marcus Cookie Recipe
I guess this year is Neiman Marcus' 100 Anniversary so today at the stores in Dallas (and maybe elsewhere but I'm not sure) they gave away a free cookie and the recipe. Some co-workers and I went there after lunch and picked up the goods. I'm sure at one point or another you've come across the email with the recipe and the story about the lady who paid $250 for the recipe and was miffed about the cost so she shared it with everyone via email...well supposedly that's an urban legend but anyway....here's the real recipe (and the best part was that it wasn't $250!!): by toadstool ring The Neiman Marcus Chocolate Chip Cookie 1/2 cup … [Read more...]
