Mint Chocolate Chunk Monster Cookies
I only have 3 words for these cookies: knock…me…dead. I really think these may have been the best cookies that have ever come out of my oven. They are moist, chewy, fudgy, delicious, spectacular, fantastic, addicting, orgas…you get the picture. ;) They are simple too! Who doesn’t love simple?! The dough requires just a […]
Triple-Chocolate Stout Loaf Cake
For the past two years, baking cakes and I have not gotten along; like whole cakes, not cupcakes. Cupcakes have always worked perfectly. I think it’s because of their “itty-bittyness.” It took me almost 2 years to finally perfect baking cakes at high altitude (btw I live in Colorado, if you didn’t know already). […]
Peanut Butter Cup Skillet Cookie
Maybe it’s the cool temperatures that have me craving so many sweets lately. I can’t keep my hands off of them! Although, I should mention that it is quite beautiful here today in Colorado: 65 degrees and sunny. Just so you know, I made this over the weekend, when it was 10 degrees. I […]
Chocolate Stout Hot Chocolate
I’m a sucker for hot chocolate. I’m especially a sucker for hot chocolate when it involves beer, spice and tons and tons of chocolate. Like, TONS of chocolate. I don’t cook with beer very often…hardly ever, actually. It makes me nervous, to be honest. I love the flavor of beer (obviously), and I love […]
Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Cup Cookies
Every once in a while Zach asks me to make cookies, and when he does, it’s ALWAYS chocolate chip. Peanut butter, chocolate chip…dark chocolate, chocolate chip…regular old chocolate chip…it usually doesn’t matter…as long as it’s chocolate chip. This time, I thought that throwing mini dark chocolate peanut butter cups into the mix would be […]
Chocolate Chip Breakfast Cookies (Muffin Top Cookies)
I’ve been throwing sprinkles on everything here lately. I have to admit, my addiction to them has gotten a little out of control. I think they just get cuter with each and every year, so I apologize that this Valentine’s Day theme has been taking over Cooking and Beer. This will change after Friday, […]
Whole Wheat Biscoff Waffles
Well, it’s day two of Zach being away, and I’ve spent the entire time cooking and baking. You would think I would do this when Zach is around because at least there would be two of us to eat all of the food sitting around. Cooking and baking kills time though, so if I […]
Chocolate-Glazed Baked Donuts
I’m on my own for a week. Zach is in Atlanta, and I’m already bored. Sure, there’s that whole thing called the “Superbowl” on tonight, and yeah it will be fun. I’ve already made myself enough snacks to feed 12 people. Did I mention that it’s only me? It’s ok. January is over, and […]
From-Scratch Cinnamon Rolls
Because of the disaster that was the beginning of this week, cinnamon rolls decided to add themselves to my menu. They were necessary…completely necessary. They also did their job perfectly. Half of them are gone already, and I may or may not have eaten three of them in one sitting after they popped out […]
