Homemade Whoopie Pies

The first time I made these Whoopie Pies, one of my girls called them cupcake top cookies, which is a very accurate observation. The cookie part does taste and feel exactly like the top of a cupcake, but it’s made even better sandwiched around a gooey filling.

These are so fast and easy to make, and are a ton of fun for kids of any age to help out with! Read More

Brownie Mix Cookies, Take Two

TWD: Peanut Butter Crisscrosses

This week’s Tuesdays With Dorie is one of my favorite cookies ever – peanut butter! They were chosen by Jasmine of Jasmine Cuisine.

I lamely forgot to check the TWD site before I went grocery shopping last week so I could add any missing ingredients to my list, but I was happy to find that I had pretty much everything I needed for these. The one thing I was missing was the salted peanuts, and though those were obviously what set these cookies apart from regular peanut butter cookies, I went on without them and actually ended up substituting Heath bits instead. They turned out perfectly!

The recipe makes a lot of cookies, but my family are peanut butter cookie fans too, so they’re not going to go to waste!
