Disney World Peanut Butter Cookies


I am a huge fan of the big cookies sold at Disney World bakeries. Especially the peanut butter ones because of the giant peanut butter chunks. I asked one of the bakery workers once where they get their cookies and he said Selma's. so I started ordering them off of selmas.com because it was a lot easier than going all the way to Disney World. They were always good-tasting however not as good as the ones at Disney World because the ones at D World were always super fresh, so I always thought "dang, if only i could just either get the recipe or move to Disney world." About a year ago I was browsing online recipe blogs and I ran across cookiemadness.net where Anna (the blog author) is apparently just as crazy about Selma's cookies as i am. She talked about them, but still no recipe. Then just yesterday i ran by her blog again and found a page all about where she replicates the Selma's peanut butter cookies (which are apparently now called Minnie's cookies, but I'm sure they're still made by Selma, but just have a new label.) I tried them, and yes they're almost identical especially the peanut butter ribbons. So once again, here's this recipe: Click HERE

S'MORES COOKIE BARS



Got this recipe off of the Hershey's site. Here's the link for the RECIPE. Ive been wanting to make these for a long time, ever since i saw it posted on cookie madness. They taste exactly like S'mores/ chocolate chip cookies. I only made one modification. The recipe says "bake 30-35 minutes. I baked them for 25 min. I always underbake(: I really enjoyed these by themselves, but then tried it w/ a scoop of ice cream and glass of milk, which was even better!!

Best Ice Cream Ever
















Cookie Dough Ice Cream!!!!
my 4 favorite ice creams ever are... (1 being my absolute favorite, 2 my second favorite, 3 my 3rd most favorite, 4 my 4th most)
1) Dreyer's fun flavors cookie dough ice cream
2) Maxx Dreyer's Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Ice Cream
3) Maggie Moo's Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Ice Cream (Cake Batter ice cream as the base mized w/ cookie dough pieces and fudge sauce)
4) Ben & Jerry's Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Ice Cream



My favorite dessert ever!!! (As of lately(:) is...
Chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream (any one of the above 3 flavours)
Frozen pillsbury chocolate chip cookie dough (ready to bake)
Mini chocolate chips (Nestle or Hersheys)
Into a cup, scoop out 1/2 cup cookie dough ice cream, add 5 small pieces pillsbury cookie dough (or 1 cookie dough square broken up), and add 1 Tablespoon mini chips. With spoon, Mix all ingredients together. Eat and enjoy

Dreyer's Fun Flavors Cookie Dough is absolute very best because its 1st off Dreyers, and also its creamiest, fluffiest, bestest, tons of chocolate mini chips, awesome cookie dough, awesome awesome base ice cream. Maxx cookie dough ice cream is the 2nd best because it uses dreyers ice cream and dreyers ice cream is soooo sooo good!! and it has nestle cookie dough and mini chips which makes for an amazing combo. Also maxx ice cream has extra cookie dough than most (if not all) cookie dough ice creams which is why its called "maxx." reason its not my number 1, its a little airier that fun flavors. Maggi Moos Cookie Dough is 3rd best because the cake batter maggie moos ice cream flavour is so creamy and so good and you can choose your amount of cookie dough and fudge sauce (which is definitly of nice quality) and i always tell them to add"a lot." ben and jerrys in my opinion has the best cookie dough of all the 4 ice creams, which is why its one of my favorites. the cookie dough chunks are huge and taste so good. the reason its not my 1st or 2nd or 3rd favorite though, is because i dont like the ice cream base flavour nor the texure as well. its more icy, whereas dreyers and maggie moos ice cream is a lot more creamy/fluffy/ and sweeter. all in all you cant go wrong w/ any of these flavours. theyre all great



Ashley's chocolate chip cookies





I cant beleive I havent posted this recipe yet. Anyway, this is my chocolate chip cookie recipe that i made when i was only 14 yrs old. A lot of people already have the recipe since ive been giving it to my cousins and friends ever since the day i made it and so many people told me it was the best they've ever had. I posted the recipe on allrecipes.com and its been a huge allrecipes hit ever since. if you like traditional chewy chocolate chip cookies you'll love these. theyre slightly different from the tollhouse chocolate chip cookies, in that they're just a little puffier (not as flat)


Ashley's Chocolate Chip Cookies
1 2/3 cups all-purpose flour (heaping)
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup butter, softened
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
1/3 cup white sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups milk chocolate chips

Preheat the oven to 350
Sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt; set aside.
In a medium bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar, and white sugar until smooth. Beat in the egg and vanilla. Gradually stir in the sifted ingredients, then stir in the chocolate chips. Drop by rounded tablespoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheets.
Bake for 8 to 10 minutes in preheated oven. Allow cookies to cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
