Christmas Cookies

I loveeee baking Christmas cookies. My favorites to make are cut-out sugar cookies. This year, I attempted to make gluten-free sugar cookies. Though I doubted how they would turn out, they ended up being great! It was time consuming and messy but I'm very happy with the finished product. My favorite cookie I made was probably the dinosaur.

I bought the lovely dinosaur cookie cutter on Etsy. You can find this cute cookie cutter store here: CookieCutterGuy 

I found the wonderful gluten-free sugar cookie recipe here:

Deep Dark Chocolate Cookies

Today I made these amazing chocolate cookies. They are perfect when you need a little chocolate fix. They are gooey, chewy, delicious, and gluten-free! I found this great recipe here: www.divine-baking.com.   And make sure you add the cocoa powder. The first time I made these, I totally forgot to add it and let's just say that half of the dough ended up in the trash.

National Peanut Butter Day

Happy National Peanut Butter Day! Peanut butter is easily one of my favorite foods. I've been accused more than once of being a peanut butter addict. I often eat it straight out of the jar by the spoonfuls! When I found out that today was National Peanut Butter Day, I quickly changed my schedule in order to make some delicious peanut butter treats.

For lunch I made Peanut Butter Pad Thai. This amazing noodle dish is the perfect combination of sweet and spicy. My mom and I have perfected this recipe after a few tries and it has been one of my favorite dishes since! If you are interested in the recipe, I plan on including it in a blog post soon. So check back in a week or so.

 

This afternoon, I decided to make peanut butter cookies! These peanut butter cookies are gluten free and are great if you need a semi-healthy sweet treat.

Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies


1 cup of peanut butter
1/2 cup brown sugar (or more, depending on your sweet tooth!)
1/4 cup honey
1 egg
1 teaspoon of vanilla
1/4 cup of chocolate chips (or more if you like)

Set the oven to 350 degrees and stir all these ingredients together in a bowl. Bake the cookies for 9 to 10 minutes. Let the cookies cool for a few minutes and then enjoy!

Tonight I plan on topping off National Peanut Butter Day with a peanut butter mocha. I posted about this delicious drink a few days ago. Here's the link: http://lexalex-lexa.blogspot.com/2012/01/peanut-butter-caramel-mocha.html
