Big Soft Ginger Cookies


Today is the last day of #ChristmasCookies Week and I hope you've enjoyed it as much as I have! For my last recipe I decided I wanted to make ginger cookies, which are a favorite of mine. I typed what I was looking for into the search box and up popped Barbara G's Big Soft Ginger Cookies from Taste of Home.

I made absolutely zero changes to the recipe. I was tempted at the end to roll the dough balls into turbinado sugar but I stuck with the granulated.  The resulting cookies are crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside, perfectly spiced.


Thank you again to Ellen from Family Around the Table, Heather from Hezzi-D's Books and Cooks and to Christie from A Kitchen Hoor's Adventures for hosting #ChristmasCookies Week and to all of the other bloggers for sharing their recipes!

Copycat Dunkin Donuts Egg White & Veggie Omelet Bites

I'm a huge fan of the Dunkin Donuts Power Breakfast sandwich, so when I started seeing ads for the new Egg White & Veggie Omelet Bites I stopped in and gave them a try.  They were delicious, but of course, I knew I could make them at home. 

Stuffed Waffles

I wasn't sure I was going to blog these stuffed waffles since it was the first time I tried using the new iron but since I'd already taken the pics as I went I figured, why not? They aren't perfect but they are delicious!

Copycat Dunkin Donuts Bacon and Cheddar Omelet Bites

Since I already came up with a version of Dunkin Donuts new Egg White & Veggie Omelet Bites for myself, I decided to make the other variety that they are offering, Bacon & Cheddar, for my husband.
