Tonight is dessert night so I thought I’d find another way to mess around with a box of brownie mix. I found this recipe online (it’s in several places and I didn’t bookmark it, or I’d give credit) and while it’s simple enough it was hit or miss (I didn’t care for it but everyone else did).

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.

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!

It also involved a fun technique: Read More
I had never heard of M&M’s mini baking bits until just a few years ago when we went out of state to visit family. My niece bought a bag so our kids could make cookies, and I remember wondering why a bag of regular M&M’s wouldn’t work just as well.
Once we opened the bag I realized why. The M&M’s baking bits are about half the size of the regular-sized milk chocolate M&M’s. The smaller size means there are more of them, and it makes it easier to stir them into dough without having them break apart, thus losing the fun of using M&M’s in the first place! Read More
