Soft and Chewy Oatmeal Coconut Chocolate Chip Cookies

This recipe turned out really good! I may have judged it harshly at first because the blog where I got this recipe made it seem like I would start eating these cookies and never stop. I thought they would be heaven on earth...so of course they fell a little short of that standard (I haven't stopped looking for the perfect chocolate chip cookie recipe) but really they were quite delicious and I will make them again! 

Before you get gung hoe about this recipe I have to warn you that the dough has to to be refrigerated for some time before you actually get to cook them but its worth the wait! Good luck. Recipe here!

Cinnamon Crumb Banana Bread

So we all know I like to bake, so when bananas go "bad" at work I like to take them home and try out new recipes and then take the spoils back to work. This one has a tragic ending but I will most definitely be trying it again! This is what happened....

I followed the recipe the way I was supposed to, put it in the oven for the time I was supposed to and then did a toothpick test, (which doesn't usually lead me astray) for some reason the toothpick came out clean so I assumed it was done. After it had cooled for a while Dallen helped me take it out so it could cool...we set it on the cooling rack and then we watched as the top sunk....right out the bottom of the bread and on to the counter. It was not cooked at all in the middle, I mean it was literally pure batter! I was so disappointed! So we decided we might as well try the crust and this is where the story gets even more sad...we both thought it was really good...and we don't even like banana bread all that much!!! Dallen even said I should save the recipe. He also told me I should put this fail on the blog because "people love that sort of thing" ha ha. So I hope you enjoyed my fail, one of many. I do recommend this recipe just cook it longer than I did! You can find it here!

Cobbler

So I found this recipe for cobbler on Pinterest. It was blueberry, which I love. I tried it and really like how simple the recipe is, plus it's delicious. I've actually made it 3-4 times. The last time I made it though I thought I'd try switching out the blueberries for apples. It turned out great as well...the only change I made was a little more fruit than the recipe called for and a teaspoon of cinnamon.

The photo isn't the best, but I'm all about pictures with recipes. :)

Oh, another note I use regular granulated sugar for the 'dough' and turbinado sugar for sprinkling on the top...I like the texture.

You can find the recipe here.

Mexican Wedding Cookies!

I think I had cookies like these about a year ago and thought they were SO good, so when I came across them on Pinterest and saw how easy they were to make I decided to try it! I'm so glad I did and kinda sorry at the same time! I could eat them all by myself in one setting!  Luckily Dallen likes them too so I don't end up eating them all but that's still a lot for just two people ha ha! …I took these to Relief Society too :) Enjoy!

Chocolate Chip Cookies

Ok, so who doesn't know how to make chocolate chip cookies right?!?…well apparently there are lots of different ways to make them, I found this recipe on pinterest, here. I thought it was odd it asked for cream cheese but they turned out really good! So good I decided I should take some to Relief 

Society so Dallen and I wouldn't eat them all!

They are really soft and fluffy! It called for corn starch which I also thought was strange and didn't have any on hand so I just didn't use any and they turned out just fine! 

Spiral Apple Bread

I had to stop Shaylee from hounding me about not posting anything on here yet. ;) So, here is my first recipe. I found this on Pinterest here and I mostly chose it because I already had all the ingredients, mostly. I didn't have cider but I figured it would be okay with water.  I did do a few other things different, I used honey crisp apples because that's what I had. Second, I don't see the point in peeling an apple, plus it gives the spiral color.

Pre-Oven

Overall the recipe was pretty easy to follow (I did make one big mistake but if you pay attention you can avoid this....hint it actually makes two pans, I kinda shoved it all into one haha.) It was easier to assemble than I thought, I suppose I could've taken a little more time to beautify the rose part, but hey we're just gonna eat it right?!?

 

The final product.
