I don’t know if you saw all the yummy cookies last week on my blog for my Cookie Exchange Week, but we had some DELICIOUS recipes shared by some of you favorite bloggers.

Brown Butter Double Fudge Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Cookies Little bit of a mouthful there. But it’s like a cookie on top of another cookie! Yeah. Like total dirty cookie on cookie action. Except these ones down below wanted to try a few different positions. I dunno… they’re all mixed up. In order to solve a common I-want-a-chocolate-CHOCOLATE-cookie-but-he-wants-a-plain-chocolate chip-cookie dilemma that happens like, every single weekend here… I made both. Some of them smashed up against each other while others sat on top of each other but in the end, they all tasted… fantabulous. And then they tasted extra delicious after I spent two hours cleaning out the contents of our bar (take that as you will), after he spent three hours organizing the pantry (that was weird) and after we both needed to severely eat our emotions immediately post-Boardwalk Empire finale. WHAT was that. ??????? Why??? Then I tried to dunk a cookie in milk and failed. I need cookie dunking lessons, a redo on season 2 (thanks HBO), and a salad. [from giant rainbow cookies]

Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Brownie Sandwich Cookies A chewy decadent brownie sandwich cookie filled with chocolate chip cookie dough frosting that gives the whole ensemble a four star rating from any brownie lover. If you hang out here much at all, you may know my family has a fondness for anything that involves cookie dough.

So a few months back, when I ran across the Donna Hay Brownie Cookie recipe my first thought was I HAD to make those with cookie dough filling! This recipe is the perfect marriage of the Cookie Dough Cupcakes and the Chocolate Chip Cookie Brownie. You may also know, I’m not afraid to use a box mix. I know these aren’t the prettiest cookies, but I can assure you, they are heavenly and oh so rich in chocolatey goodness.

Chocolate Chip Lava Cookies I am so in love with these darn chocolate lava cookies! What is it about a warm, gooey chocolate chip cookie stuffed with decadent, rich, melted chocolate that makes it so irresistible?? Especially when topped with vanilla ice cream. These are one of Kev’s favorite homemade treats, and he usually asks me to make them at least once a week. They are so simple to whip up, and such a treat! Let’s make some right now :) All you really need for these fabulous cookies is your favorite cookie dough and a bag of chocolate chips. Since these cookies are absolutely gushing with delicious rich chocolate, my favorite chocolate chips for this recipe are the Hersey’s Milk Chocolate chips.

Lay the Ziploc bag flat in the microwave, spreading out the chocolate chips in a single layer. Heaven help me. Mama mia. 1. 2. 3.

Blueberry Crumb Bars Recipe I adore blueberries…fresh out of a bowl, in my cereal and especially baked into yummy desserts…throw in some lemon and I am one happy girl. Although I love some blueberry goodness, I refuse to pay the crazy high prices I have been seeing at the market. I improvised a bit and used frozen berries in this recipe and they worked just beautifully. Moral of the story, if you find a deal or don’t mind the price tag, use fresh, but frozen berries work just fine. I was actually pleasantly surprised to see blueberries on sale today at Whole Foods and picked up two pints. I came across these Blueberry Crumble Bars on allrecipes and knew they would be amazing. Looking for more blueberry deliciousness? Ingredients 1 cup white granulated sugar 1 teaspoon baking powder 3 cups all-purpose flour 1 cup unsalted butter 1 egg 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt zest of two lemons 4 cups fresh or frozen blueberries 1/2 cup white sugar 3 teaspoons cornstarch

New York Times Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipe I am not one to really repeat recipes in my kitchen and rarely here on MBA. However, sometimes a recipe is so incredibly good that it’s totally worth another post. These New York Times Chocolate Chip Cookies certainly fit into that category and are hands down my absolute favorite recipe for chocolate chip cookies. If you don’t believe me, hit up your friend Google and take a looksie. These New York Times Chocolate Chip Cookies took the blogging world by storm about two years ago and immediately changed my perception of chocolate chip cookie perfection. The method for New York Times Chocolate Chip Cookies is certainly a bit different than what most of us are used to. I am certain the flour blend and long marinating time has something to do with the amazing texture of these cookies. They’re big, dense, chocolatey, and perfectly chewy. This is one recipe that I don’t recommend messing with the first time you try them. Looking for more Chocolate Chip Cookie recipes?

Breakfast for Dessert: Boiled Custard Eggs, Shortbread Soldiers and Coffee on a Stick Today I'm serving breakfast for dessert... or is it dessert for breakfast? My play on boiled eggs and soldiers is a sweet combo of boiled vanilla custard and mango puree poured into sterilized egg shells. Like the original savory toast version, the shortbread soldiers are used for dipping into the faux yolk. Morning coffee has been made extra sweet in the form of a lollipop. It can be enjoyed as is or you can use it in a brewed cup to stir in strength and sweetness. The custard eggs make a nice special occasion dessert, and they'd be really cute for the Easter table. The coffee lollipops will probably be made bi-monthly at our house. Boiled Custard Eggs and Shortbread Soldiers Prepare the egg shells: 8 Jumbo Eggs or 10 Large eggs Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F. Crack the eggs by tapping them with a spoon on the most pointed end. Place the cleaned egg shells onto the cooling rack and bake for 20-25 minutes. Make the custard: Note: Have your eggshells ready. Prepare the mango "yolk":
