Oreo Cookie Bars

Thick, chewy, amazing Oreo cookie bars! Chocolate Oreo cookie crust on the outsides with chopped Oreos and white chocolate chips sandwiched in the middle. I have had an uncontrollable sweet tooth lately. My husband makes fun of me because it's become a nightly habit to turn to him complaining that all I want is a cookie, or cake or chocolate, but we don't have anything around! The other night I finally decided to do something about it, and gave my husband 3 options to choose from. One View the Recipe

Patriotic Sugar Cookie Bars

Patriotic Sugar Cookie Bars are my FAVORITE! Super soft and chewy sugar cookie bars with the best homemade frosting.  When I'm trying to think of a dessert to bring to a summer party of BBQ I usually always turn to "Bars" of some sort. They're easier than cookies (no rolling or chilling) and they're great for a crowd. Some of my favorite cookie bar recipes include: Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars Best EVER Peanut Butter Bars Smore Cookie Bars Chocolate Frosted Brownies View the Recipe

Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars

We made it through another week! And the best news of all: my sister comes to visit today! She is my identical twin, and to say we are "close" is an understatement. It's really, really hard to live so far away from her! She started this blog with me several years ago, and although she doesn't publish on here anymore she remains my main consultant. She tries all of my recipes and always gives me great feedback and ideas. We will surely be cooking some yummy things in the kitchen together this View the Recipe

Frosted Sugar Cookie Bars

  These could be my favorite bars ever. First of all, they're super EASY. No chilling them, rolling out the dough, or cutting them out with cookie cutters like you have to do with regular sugar cookies. Just press the dough gently in the pan, bake for 10 minutes, and frost! EASY.   Second, they are super SOFT, chewy, and basically melt-melt-in-your-mouth. My husband would request these as his birthday cake if I let him. (I have a strict "cake only" rule when View the Recipe

S’more Cookie Bars

  Is it just me, or has the "s'more" craze been extra hyped this summer? Everywhere I look I see s'mores cookies, ice cream, chex mix, and other inspired treats! Let me tell ya, it has not been good for my pregnancy sweets cravings!   A friend of mine made these S'more Cookie Bars for a baby blessing awhile ago and they were soo delicious that I still remember them, and members of my family still talk about them! I finally got around to making them again recently and they View the Recipe

Chocolate Chip Skillet Cookie

Soft and chewy chocolate chip skillet cookie, served warm, topped with ice cream. Complete cookie HEAVEN! No rolling or chilling the dough, either, which makes this a fuss-free, easy, and drool-worthy treat!  If there were one task I would love to be able to pon off on my own personal maid (#lifegoals!) It would be the LAUNDRY! Seriously, laundry is my kryptonite. I'm able to get it all washed and dried, but then all of the clean laundry sits in a big basket on my bed. Every View the Recipe

Snickerdoodle Bars

 My favorite cookie recipe transformed into the BEST super soft and chewy snickerdoodle bars! No rolling or chilling the dough. These couldn't be easier to make.

Usually I want to relax on the weekends so I want a treat that's easy, has simple ingredients so I don't have to run to the store, and obviously a treat that's delicious! I can always count on my favorite cookie bar recipes to meet these View the Recipe

Perfect Lemon Bars

My favorite EASY lemon bars are perfect for Spring, with just the right ratio of buttery shortbread crust and creamy lemon filling.  This lemon bars recipe reminds me of Sunday nights as a kid when we were all craving something sweet. Depending on the time of year our top choices would be these Perfect Lemon Bars, pumpkin chocolate chip cookies, peach cobbler, or brownies. When it comes to easy and amazing treats, those were pretty much our staples.  I'm a little View the Recipe
