This is a great quick and easy cookie recipe! It’s kid friendly so they can help with this one (an adult should always supervise when using a mixer). Bonus this recipe is gluten free and you probably have what you need in the cupboard right now to make these. This fact also makes it a super life saver for those unexpected visitors so you can offer them a homemade treat!
I have never been much of a cake fan. But there is one kind that when I eat cake I must have, it is chocolate cake with peanut butter icing. Just the thought of a piece of decadent moist chocolate cake with a light homemade peanut butter frosting and a big glass of milk makes me need to eat a piece while writing this post!
The chocolate cake recipe is amazing! Everything goes together in one bowl and is super quick to through together, just as quick as a box mix and you cannot even begin to compare the taste! The cake recipe is so good there was no need for me to change anything in it. The original recipe comes from Valerie over at Valerie’s Kitchen. You can click the link and follow her recipe and directions and you will get the best chocolate cake ever. And it only takes 35-40 min to cook too so this is something that I just whipped up last night when I needed a dessert in a pinch!

It’s that time of year again! The holiday season is upon us and the oven in our house is fired up and pumping out cookies and all kind of baked goods almost daily! I love my sweets. Anyone who knows me knows that I love to bake so how do I balance my ginormous sweet tooth with staying healthy and fit through the holidays? I don’t shy away from enjoying my sweet treats I just enjoy them in moderation! I know it’s not as easy as it sounds so to help me not eat up a dozen cookies in a day, when I bake, I like to share the wealth with friends and family. It’s always a nice treat when someone shows up at your door with some fresh baked goods (they don’t need to know that you have to get them out of your house just so you won’t eat them all)!
These are a new favorite in our house that I have been craving ever since I last made them (yea even though they are gluten free believe me they are so good you will crave these)! I made these cookies as one of my desserts I took to my in laws for Thanksgiving. My mom-in-law is gluten free and it was such a nice treat to have something to take that she could also enjoy! My father-in-law also enjoyed them too, even though he is not gluten free, and he was in awe that these cookies were actually gluten free! After a few bites of his first cookie he asked me again if they were really gluten free!
