[Read more…]Pinterest inspired: Mini apple pies
Some of you already know I love Pinterest. Once I find ideas for recipes I want to try, DIYs, outfit inspiration, what my future home will look like etc., I start pinning away.
A while ago, I found a recipe for mini apple pies. I thought to myself, “wow! those look cute and easy to make.” The next thing I know, I’m in the kitchen making pie crust. And lucky for me, I had just the right amount of apples, too.
Key Lime White Chocolate Chip Cookies
Ever think of Key Lime pie but in cookie form? You’re probably thinking…uh.. no?
Well, over the holidays, I was flipping through one of my Christmas magazines and this recipe looked interesting (I can’t remember the exact magazine so I don’t have a link to the source). I don’t think I’ve ever had key lime pie so I was willing to try these cookies. I kind of thought lime juice and lime zest would be really gross, but I was wrong.
These cookies have a subtle lime flavor so it’s not overpowering at all. They are also very soft, chewy, and have the right amount of sweetness. Oh, yeah, did I mention they were extremely easy to make? And guess what? These were a huge hit! This cookie batter made at least 2 dozen to 2.5 dozen cookies and within the first day, I’d say a little more than half were gone. If you don’t believe, I suggest you make this cookie recipe and see for yourself! I also think that these cookies are great to make in the spring and even summer time.
