Dark Chocolate Chip Coconut Oil Cookies – Mystery Dish

December 30, 2013 by Cate 33 Comments

These coconut oil cookies are full of dark chocolate chips and walnuts – they are so soft and chewy, and the coconut oil gives them an amazing flavor!

It is December 30 – 2 more days until the new year’s resolutions start. So I have one more cookie recipe for you, just in case you haven’t had enough this month! These cookies come to you as part of the Mystery Dish group. I guest posted in October, and was thrilled to be asked to join them full time! Sherri at The Well Floured Kitchen came up with a great list of ingredients for us this month.

Dark Chocolate
Greek Yogurt
Berries
Coconut Oil
Walnuts
Fish (any white flaky such as cod)
Baby Spinach
Pecorino Romano Cheese

We had to use at least two – I picked Dark Chocolate, Coconut Oil, and Walnuts and made these delicious cookies….

Chocolate Saltine Toffee aka Christmas Crack

December 22, 2013 by Cate 26 Comments

Chocolate Saltine Toffee is so simple to make and tastes absolutely amazing – there is a reason it is called Christmas Crack! Perfect for an easy and festive treat!

Are you sick of cookies yet? Wait, is that even possible? I really don’t think so. I know that I could NEVER get sick of cookies. But in case you are, I have a non-cookie Christmas dessert recipe for you. It is called Christmas Crack, aka Chocolate Saltine Toffee. Why is it called Christmas crack? Because you can’t stop eating the stuff! It is sooo good. I don’t know why I did this to myself. I love toffee, so naturally I haven’t been able to stop eating this since I made it. I finally had to hide it in the back corner of my freezer. Let’s hope I forget it is there today!…

These Chewy Sugar Cookies have the most amazing soft yet chewy texture. A little cream cheese in the dough gives them the most incredible flavor.

Can you believe that Christmas is only 6 days away? I have a lot of baking to do this weekend, and I’m quite excited about it. I love Christmas baking. Bring on the cookies! There are so many amazing recipes that I want to try, it is really hard to narrow it down to just a few. But each year I know that sugar cookies will be on the baking list in one form or another, and this year Chewy Sugar Cookies were at the top of the list….

Gingerbread Cookies and St. Frank Textiles

December 16, 2013 by Cate 14 Comments

This recipe for soft and chewy gingerbread cookies is a Christmas staple in my house! You can decorate them with a simple icing and sprinkles, or keep them plain!

Is there any kind of food that says Christmas more than a gingerbread cookie? There is just something about the flavor of gingerbread that makes me think about decorating the tree by a cozy fire while Christmas music is playing in the background. And they are so much fun to make because you can choose any shape that you want! I love to get out my cookie cutters each Christmas season and play with them – it makes me feel like a kid! Of course the standard gingerbread man is adorable, but there are so many fun options. This year I was inspired by these gorgeous ornaments from St. Frank.

St. Frank sells handmade textiles that are sourced from artisans around the world. This holiday season they are featuring a limited edition Birds of Peace ornament set that consists of four embroidered birds, each one with a unique and beautiful pattern. So I added a new cookie cutter to my collection and got to work.
