What a simple recipe! I made cookies like yours a few weeks ago and I agree, they are delicious!
Those brownies look delicious, raw or not!
Cakes and brownies ALWAYS make me nervous for that reason. I often cut into them several times during the cooking process… nothing a little frosting can’t hide… 🙂
omg simple is best for me! esp since i’m baking challenged! I could totally make these cookies though! I have no go-to dessert! =)
OHMYGOSH.
This looks DELICIOUS.
I’m so jealous that you made that and got to eat it.
LAME BALLS.
I wish I had madddd skilzzzzz.

Love the simple cookie recipe…how many does it make?
It made about 2 dozen cookies, but you could easily double it if you needed more!
DidI do it wrong?? It only made 6 cookies for me??
Those cookies look amazing and so easy! Sorry your brownies didn’t turn out, but those cookies would definitely make up for it 🙂
hey! thanks for your comment 🙂 I emailed you about your shipping address can you email me back with it so I can send your package?
thanks 🙂

I make a trifle when I need a quick dessert or simple side dish!! Fat free sugar free pudding, fat free cool whip, fruit (berries and naners usually) and angel food cake. Layer it all up and you got a pretty but healthy dish!
Oh wow!! That’s a great idea! That sounds like such a perfect summer dessert 🙂
This awesome – I’m not a very good baker, and I’m always looking for easy desserts to make, so I will definitely be using this as a go-to.
It’s basically mistake proof!!
Wow, that’s the simplest dessert recipe I’ve ever seen! When I’m in a bind I make a fruit salad and coat it in yogurt mixed with honey and cinnamon.
Oh yum! That sounds delicious!
