  • Add the chocolate chips to the bowl and allow to melt. Stir occasionally for 4-5 minutes until smooth.

COOKING THURSDAY ~ PEANUT BUTTER MOLASSES COOKIES ~ 2026 BLOG 365.29A

Hubby LOVES peanut butter cookies, we both love molasses crinkles. These cookies makes us BOTH happy!! They are the best of both worlds – soft and chewy in the center with a crisp sugary outside.

Tradition is great, but I do try and find something new each year cookie wise to add to my recipe collection. These were only new once and quickly became a favorite traditional holiday recipe.

PEANUT BUTTER MOLASSES COOKIES Adapted from Lovely Little Kitchen

Prep Time: 1 hour
Cook Time: 1 hour
Total Time: 2 hours
Yield: 36 cookies

1/2 cup butter, softened

1/3 cup molasses
1/3 cup creamy peanut butter
2 1/4 cup AP flour
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
2 teaspoons PURE ground cinnamon

Sanding sugar for rolling/ sprinkling

  • On low speed, gradually mix the dry ingredients into the batter until a dough forms.
  • Cover and chill 1-2 hours.

 

  • Preheat the oven to 350°.
  • Scoop 1 tablespoon of dough at a time into balls.
  • Roll dough balls in sanding sugar and place them on a parchment lined baking sheet.

COOKING THURSDAY ~ THICK & CHEWY BROWNED BUTTER TOASTED COCONUT CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES ~ 2026 BLOG 365.22B

THICK & CHEWY BROWNED BUTTER TOASTED COCONUT CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES

COCONUT 
1/3 cup finely shredded coconut
3/4 cup flaked coconut

  • Preheat oven to 325°. 
  • Spread both coconuts onto a large baking sheet, being sure the coconut is spread in an even layer.
  • Bake 4 to 6 minutes, or until lightly golden. Note: the coconut will toast VERY quickly and won’t take more than 5-10 minutes.
  • Remove the coconut from the oven and stir a few times before transferring to a plate to cool completely. DO NOT LEAVE THE COCONUT ON THE TRAY! 

BROWNED BUTTER

1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted until browned

  • Place the butter in a small saucepan over medium-high heat and cook for about 3 minutes, stirring almost constantly until the butter has browned.
  • Pour the brown butter into a heatproof bowl, being sure to scrape all of the “toasted” bits into the bowl as well.
  • Place the bowl in the refrigerator for 2 hours, or until the butter is at room temperature. You’ll know the butter is at room temperature when you press a finger into the top and it makes a slight indentation. It should not be liquid at all. Once the butter is at room temperature, you’re ready to get baking!

COOKIES

2 1/2 cups AP flour
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon QUALITY ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 dark brown sugar, packed
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon PURE almond extract
2 1/2 teaspoons PURE extract
2 LARGE eggs plus 1 egg yolk, at room temperature
12 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips
Flaky sea salt, for sprinkling, optional

  • Preheat oven to 375°.
  • Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper; set aside until needed. 
  • In a large bowl sift together the flour, salt, cinnamon, and baking soda; whisking well to combine then set aside until needed.
  • In a large bowl or stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine the brown butter and both sugars, beating 2 minutes on medium-speed until light and fluffy.
  • Add in the almond and vanilla extracts and beat until combined.
  • Add in the eggs and yolk, one at a time, beating for 15 seconds after each addition. Turn mixer off.
  • Using a wooden spoon or sturdy rubber spatula, gently fold in the flour, stirring only until the flour begins to disappear.
  • Fold in the chocolate chips and coconut. 
  • Roll 3 tablespoon sized scoops of dough between your palms to form a ball (they should be big; almost a 1/4 cup) and place on prepared sheets, being sure to leave enough room in between each cookie for inevitable spreading. Continue this process until all the dough has been rolled.
  • Bake 9 to 10 minutes or until golden at the edges but still soft in the middle.
  • Sprinkle cookies with sea salt immediately when they come out of the oven.
  • Let cookies cool for at least 10 minutes on the baking sheet before transferring to a wire wrack to cool. Cookies are best warm 🙂

LEMON MELT AWAYS ~ BLOG 365.37

These cookie’s roots date back to a classic and super simple shortbread from Scotland. Over time, this centuries old recipe has been adapted with variations that have emerged worldwide, adding cornstarch for an ultra-light texture.

Inspired by classic shortbread these cookies are the epitome of comfort food, especially at Christmas time. They are light, crumbly and leave a satisfying buttery aftertaste. The butter binds everything together, adding a velvety rich, creamy flavor.

I LOVE them for their simplicity and versatility. These cookies promise to make everyone happy with their buttery soft texture. You can change up the flavor easily by changing the flavor of your extract. To be a bit decadent dip them melted chocolate and do a light sprinkling of sanding sugar.

And the best part is the minimal amount of ingredients that deliver maximum flavor and you can whip them up in just 5 minutes creating a timeless dessert that appeals to EVERYONE.

ULTIMATE MELT-IN-YOUR-MOUTH COOKIES
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
½ cup powdered sugar
1½ cups AP flour
½ cup cornstarch
1 teaspoon PURE vanilla extract (or flavor of choice for variation – almond, lemon, orange…)
A pinch of salt
Chocolate drizzle (optional)
Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)
Crushed nuts for garnish (optional)

  • Preheat your oven to 350°.
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Sift together the AP flour, cornstarch, and salt in a bowl. Set aside.
  • In a LARGE mixing bowl cream together softened butter and powdered sugar until light and fluffy.
  • Add extract and mix well.
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture.
  • Mix until a soft dough forms. DO NOT OVER MIX or your cookies will be tough.
  • Roll the dough into small 1 inch balls and place them 2 inches apart on a baking sheet.
  • Gently flatten with the back of a spoon or a fork for texture.
  • Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
  • Allow to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
  • Once cooled, dip or drizzle with melted chocolate, sprinkle powdered sugar, or garnish with crushed nuts if desired.

NOTES:

  • Add zest, spices, or flavor extracts to suit your taste.
  • Can EASILY be adapted for gluten-free or vegan diets.

RASPBERRY TRUFFLES ~ BLOG 365.28

RASPBERRY TRUFFLES Yield 25 truffles

Creamy delectable insides with a crunchy outer shell make these the perfect bite! They always impress when I include them in my neighbor plates at holiday time. PLUS there’s no baking involved.



1.6 ounce freeze dried raspberries (about 1/2 cup)
1 package white chocolate chips or bars 14 ounce
2 Tablespoons unsalted butter
¾ cup heavy whipping cream
1 package dark chocolate (bittersweet chocolate) 14 ounce

  • Add raspberries to a food processor and pulse until fine powder. Set aside.
  • In a large glass bowl, add white chocolate with butter. Set aside.
  • In a small saucepan, heat heavy cream over low. Simmer, but DO NOT boil. When warmed through, pour over the white chocolate and butter. Allow to sit for 5-10 minutes.

 

  • After 5 minutes, use a spatula to stir the white chocolate until smooth and combined.
  • Stir in freeze dried raspberry powder. Taste for flavor. If not strong enough, add another 1-2 tablespoons of powder. I find that 1/2 cup is plenty for both color AND flavor. Reserve a pinch of powder to sprinkle on top of the truffles later.
  • Place plastic wrap over the bowl and chill in the refrigerator for 2 hours.

 

  • Line a baking sheet with wax paper.
  • Using a small 1 tablespoon cookie scoop, scoop mixture and roll in ball, place on wax paper. Repeat with remaining mixture.
  • Put the tray of truffles back in the refrigerator (or freezer) for 30 minutes.

 

  • Melt dark chocolate in a double boiler for the best results.
  • Using a fork (or toothpick), dip each truffle in melted chocolate, tap on side of bowl to remove the excess, then place back on wax paper.
  • Sprinkle with a pinch of the remaining raspberry powder or sprinkles.
