Brownie Stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookies

6 / 21 / 186 / 21 / 18

I came across an article about Balaboosta’s Bakery in East Norwich, NY and I was immediately fixated on these brownie stuffed cookies they are famous for. They looked ridiculously amazing, better than the ones I have created here. They are the masters of stuffing brownies into cookies. Now I don’t claim that these will be as perfect, but since Iam not hopping on a plane and flying to NY anytime soon, I just had to attempt to create a second best option! These are outstanding. By far the best cookie I have ever eaten, and I don’t say that lightly. It really merges two of the best desserts into one cookie, and better than “brookies”, because the brownie is on the inside, it stays slightly under-done, creating one phenomenal cookie.

Chewy Bakery-Style Chocolate Chip Cookies with Browned Butter

Soft and chewy cookie dough texture + salty and sweet + hints of deep espresso + oozing chocolate + nutty sweetness of browned butter = MASTERFUL GREATNESS! These cookies are perfection at its finest. I have made a lot of really good chocolate chip cookie recipes in the past, but I combined so many elements into these that have seriously taken the #1 spot of the best chocolate chip cookies I’ve ever eaten.

I know I can’t speak for everyone, but these cookies seriously check every box on my list. I am obsessed with browned butter. Like, why even use regular butter if you can replace it with browned butter? When butter is browned, essentially it is caramelizing the milk solids in the butter, in turn, transforming it into a whole different ingredient. It gets rich and nutty and almost adds a caramel-y flavor to the cookie. Read More

Sweet Martha’s Cookie Jar Cookies Copycat Recipe

10 / 15 / 1710 / 16 / 17

Let’s have a moment of silence for the fact that I made these cookies just because of a viral video I watched about Sweet Martha’s Cookie Jar at the Minnesota State Fair….. Shouldn’t I be ashamed? Has anyone else seen this video and felt that, short of taking a trip to Minnesota, making these became a #1 priority? Is it because anything in a bite sized form is just better? Or is it because cookies served up in a bucket just seems to overwhelm me with happiness? Read More

Pumpkin Spice Whoopie Pies w/ Bourbon Cream

These cookies are what the holidays are made for. Soft pumpkin pillowy dreams that just melt in your mouth and the bourbon just warms your body! Fall is in the air and I have been craving some delicious pumpkin recipes to officially kick off the best season of the year. There aren’t many things that are better than this holiday season… being cozy indoors, excusably wearing comfortable clothes that hide all the flaws, being with family, more time off from work… from now until new years, it’s nothing but joy!
