Almond Butter Chocolate Chunk Potato Chip Cookies

March 26, 2015 by Cate 16 Comments

I put potato chips in a cookie and I loved it! Almond Butter Chocolate Chunk Potato Chip Cookies are the ultimate sweet and salty cookie – they are addicting!

It is time for another round of Mystery Dish! I took a few months off from this fun challenge, but I am back! Every month a group of my blog friends and I choose a list of ingredients, and we each have to come up with a recipe using some of the mystery ingredients. It is so much fun to come up with new recipes, and it always challenges me to step out of my comfort zone a bit in the kitchen. Which leads me to….

Potato Chip Cookies…yes, I put potato chips in my cookies. I really thought that I would never put potato chips in my cookies. I know that it has been done many times before, but to me it seems so, well, weird. But, Mystery Dish made me do it. I had no choice. Potato chips were on the list this month along with chocolate chunks and almond butter and I just knew that I had to make almond butter chocolate chunk potato chip cookies. And I am so glad that Mystery Dish lead me to this cookie creation, because these cookies are so good! I still think potato chip cookies are kind of weird, but I can get over it because they taste delicious!

Bonjour mes amis! I am writing to you from lovely Paris! If you follow me on Instagram, then you know that TheBetterHalf and I are off on a two week vacation.

So to take a break from green beans and pie and stuffing, I have cookies for you! Oatmeal Peanut Butter Chip Cookies – soft and chewy in the middle, just slightly crispy on the edges, and full of tons of peanut butter chips. This is one delicious cookie!

No-Churn Chocolate Peanut Butter Ice Cream

July 14, 2014 by Cate 40 Comments

Rich and creamy ice cream without an ice cream maker? It is possible, with my No-Churn Chocolate Peanut Butter Ice Cream! You won’t believe how easy it is!

If TheBetterHalf had to choose a favorite dessert, it would be chocolate peanut butter ice cream. Our freezer has a pint of chocolate peanut butter Haagen-Daz in it at all times. But up until recently, I had never been able to make him his favorite treat because I don’t have an ice cream maker! I just don’t have room to store it, so it is one appliance I’ve decided I don’t need. But then I discovered no-churn ice cream, and what a dangerous discovery it was.

No-Churn ice cream is so ridiculously easy to make! And you really only need two base ingredients – heavy whipping cream and sweetened condensed milk. So I played around with this perfect no-churn base and came up with No-Churn Chocolate Peanut Butter Ice Cream.
