These just might be the best cookies I’ve ever made, especially when they are warm out of the oven. Used wisely, they just might get you whatever you want 😉 They are a delicious adaptation of a cookie called My Man’s Cookies from the Vanguards Cookbook my sister-in-law gave me.

Aunt Gerry’s Pineapple Cookies
My Dad is one of 10 children in his family. As the story goes, he was purely spoiled by his older sister, Gerry. She coddled him, carried him and catered to him. And he was ornery. He and his brothers once cut the middle out of a cake she made. They spread icing back over the hole so that no one knew until the cake was cut into.
For some unknown reason, she let him live. Not only that, but she occassionally baked up a batch of his favorite Pineapple Cookies.
Mocha Chocolate Chip Cookies
Inspired by a cookie on Kristal’s blog, Knit 1, Kids 4 I created this cookie. I made one batch on Friday night, which my family polished off. I made another batch on Sunday evening for our small group. Judging from their rapid disappearance, I’d say the cookies were a hit.
Butterscotch Cookies
Have you joined the challenge to save money by eating from the freezer and pantry for a week? I found that I saved $100 this week at the grocery store. Jen L. shared that she saved $70 this week.
Saturday, this really lived up to the term “challenge” for me. My son had a soccer tournament, which meant two games on Saturday. It would have been so easy to pick up fast food for both lunch and dinner, but I resisted. We pulled together a quick meal of soup for lunch and the crockpot came to the rescue for dinner. Staying out of the fast food places probably saved us about $30 on Saturday. I’m glad I have you all holding me accountable 🙂
I need a treat to keep me going. These cookies come together from ingredients I usually have on hand. They taste a bit like butterscotch blondies, only in cookie form.
Graham Muffins
The other morning I woke up and realized there was no food to serve for breakfast. And I had company. (Please tell me I’m not the only person this unprepared!) These muffins came to the rescue, as they have in the past. They’re also good to fill out a meal of soup.
