Caramel Chocolate Cranberry Treasure Cookies

I made a batch of these Caramel Chocolate Cranberry Treasure Cookies to sneak into Masons lunch as a special surprise since he left for 4 days of outdoor school! 

Caramel Chocolate Treasure Cookies are the perfect cookie to add to your Christmas cookie trays, holiday cookie exchanges or package for Christmas presents! They also happen to be a favorite eggless cookie.

This recipe is made using Caramel Sweetened Condensed Milk based on our family's favorite Treasure Cookie recipe the neighbor shared with me years ago for the holidays but taken to a whole new level using caramel sweetened condensed milk, dark chocolate chips,  and dried cranberries. 

It's a soft chewy cookie filled with graham cracker crumbs and unsweetened coconut. Then loaded with dark chocolate and dried cranberries for a nice contrast to the caramelly sweet cookie base.

I know you might question the sweet caramel cookie with cranberries but trust me if you like caramel and dried cranberries you will love these!

Caramel Chocolate Cranberry Treasure Cookies make a wonderful addition for your Christmas cookie trays or an extra special treat for Santa!

Blondies With Peanut Butter Swirl

Brown Butter Blondies with Peanut Butter Swirl are one of my favorite Blondies Brownies recipe. The flavors absolutely delicious. These are great for parties like Super Bowl and 4th of July.

I couldn't decide last week chocolate chip or peanut butter, cookies or bars. So I went with Brown Butter Blondies With Peanut Butter Swirl because anything with peanut butter swirl is eternally life changing in my book.

These bars have everything I love in a dessert.

A thick chewy chocolate chip bar with swirls of peanut butter deliciousness that make for a gorgeous presentation without much effort.

We couldn't keep our hands out of the pan. We may or may not have eaten over half the pan before Colt could take a few finished photos but just for the record part of that was due to running out of parchment paper.

Sometimes things happen and my kids usually aren't super excited to wait an extra day to enjoy dessert just for a picture so sometimes I compromise. Sometimes I'm on top of my game and I hide dessert until I have finished photos but that didn't happen on this occasion because the kids could smell these Brown Butter Blondies With Peanut Butter Swirl before they even entered the house.

Be warned these don't last long!

Here's how to make these delicious Blondies with Peanut Butter Swirl:

Gluten Free Egg Free Double Chocolate Peanut Butter Bite Cookies

I've been keeping these my little chocolaty secret for sometime now.. 

Since I came out last week and shared Gluten Free Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Bites and it was a hit, I decided it was time to share another quick snack time cookie I make for the kids when I'm looking to make something a little bit healthier....

These cookies are super healthy, grain and gluten free, egg-less, easy to make and could be vegan if using Agave.

But most importantly these babies are double chocolate peanut butter deliciousness and I haven't shared these with the world yet only because I hated the pictures! Yep I said it!

 My food photo skills are improving but no matter what I did to these little bites the pictures just weren't as appetizing as I would have liked...

I actually feel rather proud of these photos only because the previous set really did not look appetizing at all! 

My kids had even joked around about the looks of the bites! But it sure didn't deter them from eating every last cookie! 

Now go get to baking!
