Baby shower cake pops

On Friday (9/16/11), Sheena and I made some cake pops for her friend's baby shower. They came out great! Here are pictures of the purple with rainbow sprinkles cake pop. I totally forgot to take pictures of the cake pops Sheena decorated.  (oops sorry sheena!)   Hope you guys like them too!

       

 

Here are some pictures of the cakepops I made for my HK buddy's sis-in-law's baby shower a couple of weeks ago. Yes, both ladies are have baby G-I-R-L-S (cuz girls rules )!!

Toffee chocolate chip cookies

I have been craving and wanting to make toffee cookies. I have a recipe for butter toffee cookies but I wanted to kick it up a notch and add chocolate chips. Here is a recipe I  found on Allrecipes.com.  It was sooooooooooo addicting and yum-goodness!! (is that even a word?! LOL.)

p.s. I flattened (lightly pressed) the cookie dough before it went in the oven.

 

Yields 3 dozens

Ingredients

• 1 cup packed brown sugar
• 1/2 cup butter, softened
• 1/2 cup shortening
• 1/4 cup white sugar
• 1 egg

• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 2 cups mini semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1 (6 ounce) package almond brickle chips

2. Mix sugars, margarine and shortening until light and fluffy. Mix in egg and vanilla. Stir in flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Stir in chocolate chips and brickle chips.

Chocolate Chip walnut cookies

So, because I love chocolate chip walnut cookies, I decided to bake some last week. With this batch, I used whole shelled walnuts as opposed to the pieces. Boy, these were nutty delicious!!
