The Christie company out of Canada sells boxes of Pirate Oatmeal Peanut Butter Cookies which this is a copycat recipe for. Not sure why they chose the name “Pirate”, but the recipe caught my eye as we were looking for a new way to celebrate “Talk like a Pirate Day” this year. This is a combination of a few recipes and added chocolate chips.
The oatmeal cookies are good plain or filled.
This dessert is hard to describe, sort of lemon cake, sort of brownie texture. It is a nice change from what we usually make.
It is best to make this on a day with low humidity. Fresher eggs are best to use, otherwise the cake may “weep”.
A simple recipe we found that is great for anyone learning how to cook or a quick treat. These are an easy version of buckeyes or peanut butter cups.
Rolled into a sausage shape and then cut, this is a simple and very customizable treat.
These are a nice, soft cupcake. Many who taste them say they are the “best” cupcakes they have ever had. She has also had a few people who do not like cupcakes compliment them and eat more than one.
A favorite, special cookie our neighbor, Marilyn shares with us over the holidays. The recipe is slightly vague, but if you have made cookies before, adjusting the amount of flour to your preference is easy. I kept the recipe mostly as written, because that is part of its charm.
These are a drier biscotti, but are wonderful with hot chocolate or tea.
We keep searching for inexpensive but fun toppings for our popcorn. This one is really sweet, but it is a great stand in when you want caramel corn without all the work.
