101 Easy Peasy Cookie Recipes drool

I’ve been cooking since I was 10 years of age. I’ve learned most of my cooking techniques from my mother. Baking is something that I’ve always wanted to get into but my mother wasn’t much of a baker, still isn’t. I had to dabble in baking on my own. Now that we have a little one on the way I want to be able to prepare sweet treats for our family. I’ve already mastered turnovers and some cakes. Turnovers and cakes are something that I would make on special occasions and not all of the time, so I thought baking cookies would be more suitable. Freshly baked cookies are a favorite in many households, so I thought it would be smart for me to start collecting cookie recipes.

Lucinda and Heather Wallace, mother and daughter, also the authors of 101 Easy Peasy Cookie Recipes sent me a copy of their cookbook to review. I am in LOVE. 101 Easy Peasy Cookie Recipes is a compilation of simple cookie recipes that taste and look like they would require an experienced chef to make! Imagine showing up at an event with delicious cookies that took you all of 20 minutes to mix and bake! Below is a picture of the Chewy Chocolatey Oatmeal Cookies that I baked last week. I ended up with extra dough so I decided to make the rest tonight. I absolutely love these cookies, they are a pregnant lady’s dream, lol!

Chewy Chocolatey Oatmeal Cookies! NOM NOM NOM!

I’m probably going to try Peanut Butter and Chocolate Chippers next. I may throw in some Reese’s pieces for an extra touch. It feels good not having to buy my cookies from Kroger’s bakery because I can now make my own!

I leave you guys with a freebie from the book to indulge in! I’m sure you’ll want to pick up 101 Easy Peasy Cookie Recipes after reading, the book is totally worth it!

Colossal Double Chocolate White Chip Cookies
Makes about 2 dozen cookies.

4 cups all-purpose flour

1 tablespoon vanilla extract

Preheat oven to 350ºF. In a medium bowl, stir together flour, baking powder, and baking soda. In a large bowl, cream together butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Beat eggs and vanilla extract into butter mixture. Gradually stir in flour mixture. Stir in milk chocolate chips, semi-sweet chocolate chips, white chips, and nuts. Drop by level ¼-cupfuls, about 2 inches apart, onto ungreased baking sheets. Bake for 12 to 14 minutes or until light golden brown. Allow cookies to cool for 2 minutes on baking sheets, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
