PEANUT BUTTER CANDY COOKIES

PEANUT BUTTER CANDY COOKIES

Get ready to light up your taste buds with these incredible easy and delicious, candy-filled peanut butter cookies. This recipe is a twist of my classic old-fashioned peanut butter cookie recipe with a fun and delicious flare. Your taste buds are going to explode with every bite of peanut butter-y goodness!

Since a young age, I have always LOVED peanut butter cookies. There is something about them that just brings back memories of childhood and making sweets with my mom. A few weeks ago, I was cleaning out my baking cabinet and stumbled upon some little Reece’s pieces. I immediately knew that I wanted to use the to whip up something delicious and here we are…

After 30 minutes of flipping through my old recipe box (and yes.. I do have an old-fashioned recipe box filled with all of my handwritten recipes because I am old school like that), I stumbled upon my old-fashioned peanut butter cookie recipe – which fun fact is a twist on my grandmother’s peanut butter cookie recipe. This recipe has been a tried-and-true recipe in our family for many years! I figured by not add some candy bits to the mixture and really spruce it up. The result was an astounding success and a new staple recipe in my house! Beyond the delicious peanut butter flavor, you will get a sweet bite of chocolate truly making this the ultimately sweet treat.

So, what are you waiting for? Gather your ingredients, grab your mixer and get to baking! You won’t regret it! Happy Baking!

here’s what you’ll need:

Grab these basic ingredients to bring this delicious recipe to life.

All of the ingredients may be in your cabinet, or they can be found in your local grocery store.

  • Unsalted Butter – I always recommended using unsalted butter when baking because it is easier to control the overall flavor of the recipe. However, if you don’t have unsalted on hand, DO NOT WORRY – Salted butter will also do the trick!
  • Creamy Peanut Butter – Chunky peanut butter can also we used, if you want little chunks of nutty goodness.
  • Brown Sugar – Brown sugar helps to sweeten this mixture.
  • Large Egg – You’ll need two large eggs for this recipe to help bind all of the ingredients together.
  • Vanilla Extract – I am a sucker for Mexican Vanilla (my favorite is linked here) but any vanilla will do the trick and give the perfect sweetness to this recipe.
  • All-purpose Flour (or a gluten-free blend, if desired)
  • Baking Soda – This acts as an active ingredient to help the cookies rise.
  • Salt – Salt because we all love a little salt and it perfects the balance of flavors.
  • Chocolate Chips – some extra sweetness for this cookie recipe.
  • Reece’s Pieces or Peanut Butter M&Ms – These will add a touch of extra peanutty goodness to your cookies

HOW TO MAKE THIS RECIPE:

The full recipe is below. However, lets walk through the steps to ensure that you get the perfect outcome every single time.

  1. We will start by preparing our kitchen. Which will include, setting the oven to 350°F.
  2. Line a cookie sheet with a silicone mat or parchment paper and set aside. My FAVORITE low-cost cookie sheets are these sheets with a slight groove. They allow for additional airflow helping the air to perfectly circulate around the cookies, giving the best outcome.
  3. In a medium bowl, mix flour and baking soda in a small bowl; set aside.
  4. In a standard kitchen aid mixer or similar, we will begin by creaming together butter, peanut butter and sugar, on medium speed until light in color and fluffy ~ about 3 minutes. (This step can also be done by hand or using a handheld mixer)
  5. Slowly add in the egg and vanilla, beat until smooth.
  6. Slowly add the flour mixture to the mixer and combine on low, until combined.
  7. Once it is well combined, carefully stir in the candy pieces, with a wooden spoon.
  8. Using a cookie scoop, scoop cookies into 1-1.5 inch balls and roll the tops of cookies in extra candy before placing them on prepared parchment lined cookie sheet.
  9. Bake at 350 degrees for 10 minutes.
  10. Remove from oven and let stand for 5-10 minutes before transferring to wire rack to cool completely.
  11. Serve & Enjoy

CARAMEL CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES

CARAMEL CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES

A delicious and easy twist on my classic Chocolate Chip Cookie recipe! These cookies are absolutely delicious, combining the rich and chewy caramel bits with the gooey and flavorful chocolate chips in every bite. Your taste buds are in for a treat with these scrumptious little delights!

When I was a kid, we would always go to Whole Foods on the weekend with our mom. While there, she would let us pick out one dessert to take home with us from their little dessert display. One of my favorite desserts that they had was homemade fresh Carmelita cookie bars. First and foremost, if you’ve never had one, it is a MUST & I will be posting one soon. But ever since those days, I have always had a soft spot for the combination of caramel mixed with delicious creamy chocolate. 

And while, these are not exactly the same as those bars… they do combine the same flavors in a perfect little cookie – filling my sugar craving and tasting delicious! All while using the contents of my pantry (which is truly the best way to use things up, in my opinion). 

These cookies combine that sweet and gooey caramel goodness with the rich and creamy chocolate to create the perfect flavor in every bite. Do you have extra bits of caramel laying around in your pantry? This is the recipe for you! It comes together in an hour or less and is truly a delicious cake and twist on classic chocolate chip cookies. 

PSA – You can also definitely use homemade caramel, if you’re a caramel lover. However, today I opted to use store-bought caramel bits to make it extra simple to whip together quickly! 

SO what are you waiting for? Grab your ingredients, grab some bowls & get to baking!

The PERFECT bakery style chocolate chip scones.

Over the last year or so, I have been determined to perfect my scone recipe. This year, I decided that I wanted to branch out a bit from my normal rotation of cookies, cakes, cupcakes & truffles.

Growing up, our mom did not bake often. But when she did, she went all out.. This recipe is a classic variation to a traditional

As you take your first bite, you’ll be greeted by the intense richness of cocoa, creating a chocolatey explosion that is both satisfying and indulgent. The combination of chocolate and sourdough is a unique dance of flavors – the deep, earthy notes of cocoa complemented by the distinctive tang of sourdough.

Throughout the scone, you’ll discover pockets of dark chocolate chunks or chocolate chips, ensuring that every bite is adorned with melty, gooey goodness. The scone’s exterior, perhaps brushed with a light sugar glaze or dusted with cocoa, adds a hint of sweetness that enhances the overall experience.

These scones, baked to golden perfection, are a perfect companion for your morning coffee or afternoon tea. The balance of flavors, the flaky texture, and the complexity of chocolate and sourdough make each scone a moment of pure indulgence.

Whether enjoyed as a solo treat or shared with loved ones, Chocolate Sourdough Scones are a testament to the artistry of baking, combining the timeless appeal of chocolate with the unique depth of flavor that sourdough brings.

  • Chocolate Chips 
  • ½ cup Sourdough Discard

RECIPE FAQS

  • What makes scones different than normal biscuits or pastries? Biscuits are airy, fluffy and flaky squares (or circles) made without any sugar. They are savory and tender throughout. Scones are dense, crumbly cake-like treats. They contain sugar and other sweet additions (like chocolate chips and dried fruit), because their dough is sturdy enough to handle additions.
  • What is the proper texture of scones? In my scone loving opinion, a great scone is hard (read: crispy) on the outside, but tender and flaky when cut open.
  • How to properly store scones? Scones keep at room temperature for about 2 days. They lose their crispness on the edges, but they be rewarmed in the oven on 200-degrees F. They can be frozen after baking, too. Simply defrost in the fridge overnight and heat in the toaster oven until warm throughout.

Ingredients
  

  • 1 box Strawberry Cake Mix
  • 2 Eggs
  • 1/3 Cup Butter Melted
  • 1/2 Cup Strawberries Fresh or Frozen
  • 1 Cup White chocolate Chips
  • Valentine's Day Sprinkles Optional

Instructions
 

  • Start by prepping your kitchen. Preheat the oven to 350 F and gather your ingredients.
  • Grab a 13 X 9 pan and either grease the bottom or line with parchment paper.
  • Melt your butter in a microwave safe bowl and allow to cool slightly.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine cake mix, eggs, and melted butter, until well combined. The dough will be sticky!

  • Once the dough is well combined, add the strawberries and 1/4 cup of white chocolate chips to the batter and mix well.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and evenly spread out with a spoon. The tough will be sticky. I recommend using slightly damp hands to lightly press the mixture until it is evenly distributed!
