It is Thursday! And, that has me baking, listening to music, and smiling.
And, it helped that this is what I got to see first thing this morning.
They love each other so much. And, they were not posed. They were actually cuddling like that whenever I ran to get my camera. It is truly a blessing and a joy to watch.
Then, I got to see this, which also brought a smile to my face.
Brotherly love, ballet, and baking…wow…that is my kind of Thursday!
I am in the process of baking 100 cupcakes, 50 cookie cups, and 50 mini pies. We are having a Fall Festival at our school tomorrow, and I am honored that Summer Sweets is one of the vendors.
I do not have cute cupcake recipes to share today, but I do have some amazingly delicious cookies for you.
Ingredients
- 1 cup butter
- 1/2 cup sugar, plus extra for rolling
- 2/3 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup cocoa
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 2 cups flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 cup milk chocolate chips
- 2 Milky Way bars, cut into small cubes
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Beat butter and sugars together.
- Add the eggs and vanilla.
- Mix in the cocoa powder.
- In a separate bowl, mix together the flour, salt, baking soda, and baking powder.
- Add the dry ingredients to the egg mixture, and mix until well blended, about 2-4 minutes.
- Add the chocolate chips, and mix until combined.
- Using a cookie scoop, scoop out a ball of the cookie dough. Place a milky way cube into the center, and form a ball around it.
- Roll the ball in sugar.
- Place on baking sheet.
- Bake for 12-14 minutes.
Enjoy!

Thank you! And, the great thing about the cookies is that you can really use any chocolate candy…which means that I am totally going through the trick or treat baskets on Monday so that I can make a new creation.
