Monster Cookies

School starts back up in less than 2 weeks.

That makes me sad.

When I am sad, I like to bake cookies.
Homemade cookies are a great way to cheer up!
Plus, on our Summer List we put "Make Cookies for our Neighbors"
We knew just the cookies to make:

Here is what you need:

1 1/3 cup all purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt

1 egg
1 stick of butter, softened
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup quick oats
1/3 cup m&ms
2/3 cup chocolate chips (I use milk chocolate)
1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
1/2 cup white sugar

1/2 cup Peanut Butter (I use Skippy Natural)

Directions:
Add all ingredients to a bowl (except chocolate chip and m&m's)

Beat well for about 1-2 minutes.

Then add chocolate chips and m&m's.

Stir until combined.

Using a cookie scoop, form into balls.

Bake at 350 for 10-12 minutes.

When slightly cooled, transfer to a cooling rack.

Your kitchen smells amazing at this point.

This recipe makes 2 dozen cookies.

These are some of our favorite cookies.
Oatmeal? Good. Chocolate Chips? Good. M&M's? Good. Peanut Butter? Good.
What's not to like?!?

Enjoy!

Caramel Apple Cider Cookies

Over the weekend we finally had cooler Fall temperatures, so I went on a baking spree!

I made one of my favorite Fall cookies & I realized I haven't blogged it yet.

I have been making this cookie for the past decade during the Fall season.

I got this recipe online somewhere....before Pinterest & blogs.
It is so delicious...I can't believe I haven't shared the recipe yet!

Caramel Apple Cider Cookies

Here is what you need:

1 cup butter, softened
1 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 box Apple Cider Instant Original Drink Mix (5 packets)
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 (14 ounce) bag of chewy caramels

Directions:

Cream together butter, sugar, salt and 5 packages of apple cider drink mix powder:

Beat in eggs & vanilla.
Gradually add flour, baking powder, baking soda & cinnamon to butter/egg mixture.

Mix until combined.

Unwrap your caramels....my kids loved this job :)

I use THIS cookie scoop to scoop the dough into balls.

Flatten the cookie dough ball slighlty & add a caramel to the middle:

Wrap the dough around the caramel:

Place on a cookie sheet that is lined with parchment/baking paper.

You line it so that if the caramel leaks, it is easy to clean :)

Cookies filled with caramels? Yes, please.

Bake at 350 degrees for 12-14 minutes.

Do not over bake. I repeat...do not over bake!

These cookies are best when served warm....that way the caramel is nice and gooey:

If you don't serve them right away, I recommend heating them in the microwave for 7-10 seconds before eating them individually so that your caramel is soft.
