Candy Bar Cookies

What do you do on a snowy afternoon when you're craving fresh-baked chocolate chip cookies but don't have any chocolate chips? Get creative!

Crisp had bought me a Twix bar the other day (my favorite!) and I'd picked up some Hershey's Toffee and Almond Milk Chocolate Nuggets in advance of Winter Storm Nemo. (You know, in case the blizzard got real bad, I could eat a ton of chocolate and have extra insulation to stay warm.) I chopped up the candies and threw the chunks into the cookie dough. They came out pretty darn good, and it was a nice twist on typical choco-chip cookies.

And go me for not eating them all in one day!!!

Don't be so black and white...

... Unless you're a cookie!!

It's been a while since I've made any extravagant cakes, but I did recently make some New-York-style black and white cookies! I found the recipe with a quick Google search, and voila! I was pleasantly surprised that the frosting set with a shiny, hardening quality -- just like professional B&W cookies. Go me.

I made just a small batch of eight cookies. It was a dessert treat for Crisp. They must've been pretty good, because Crisp ate ALL EIGHT in one day.
