Almond, Craisen, White Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies

I've made a new cookie.  Or I should say that I've combined a new combination of flavors into my favorite cookie dough recipe.

Almond.  Craisens.  White Chocolate Chips.

Yummo!

There is something about Almond Extract.  The flavor is magical.

Strawberry Coffee Cake

Sunday mornings, I try to make breakfast...go a little bit fancy, giving cereal a break.  This past week, I suprised the kids & told them that we were having cake for breakfast.  They were excited!  They got even more excited when I told them that I had made Strawberry Cake for breakfast.

I don't know much about Coffee cakes, but I liked this one & the substitutions that I made.

Here's how I made mine!

Strawberry & White Chocolate Chip Cookies

I'm switching gears up....I've been showing off alot of "Green" items, and after making these cookies, I told my son that maybe these should have been made the month before.

Oh well.  So this cookie came about by request from my Jaxs.  We had made some Pistachio cookies the other week, and he asked if I could make him a Strawberry cookie.  Sure, honey buns, we'll experiment a bit.

Now, thanks to my new cooking freinds called, Jell-o & pudding, I am loving the different flavor combinations I can come up with.  With this one, I used my favorite cookie recipe & mixed in a box of Strawberry Jell-o .

These cookies weren't as puffy, but they have been quite delicious.

I went with a white chocolate chip because it sounded so good at the moment.  I'm sure this would taste fabulous with a regular Milk Chocolate Chip.

-I tried my very best not to overbake them...I wanted the pink color to shine through-
