Texas Sized Cowboy Cookies

By Patti Brown · 2 Comments

Cowboy Cookies are big-as-your-hand wild-west concoctions full of chewy crispy chocolatey yumminess. These are basically oatmeal chocolate chip cookies with pecans and coconut and a loooooot of butter. Oh yeah! I originally got this cookie recipe out of the newspaper… way back in the days when the internet was not my primary source of news. As a result I can’t properly attribute it. I’ve been making Cowboy Cookies for the last fifteen years or so. They are a big hit with guests (and the pecans make them oh-so-Texan.) Now, I don’t especially advise you to eat a Cowboy Cookie while […] Read more »

Bugs. When they’re in your house they are a huge nuisance. Unless they are chocolate! We put together these chocolate dragonflies for our friends at Build A Menu. They are actually chocolate covered pretzels! We wanted to create a recipe that does not use hydrogenated-oil-filled candy melts. Our chocolate dragonflies do like to soften when the air is warm, so we serve them straight from the freezer. A fun summer afternoon snack!

Strawberry Chocolate Heart Muffins

Try these Strawberry Heart Chocolate Muffins at your next tea party!

Abbie says: “These are simple to make and extreeeemely delicious. They didn’t turn into hearts very well, but other than that everything seemed to go pretty smoothly.” Mrs. Brown says: “When Abbie saw a picture of someone using a marble to make heart shaped cupcakes she knew we had to try it. So we took a strawberry muffin recipe, adapted it a bit, and popped marbles in the muffin tin. As you can see, the muffins rose a bit over and around the marbles, so that the dimple at the top of the heart is not as noticeable. Next time […] Read more »
