When Zack was at work yesterday, I decided to be a good wife (ha ha) and bake up some WHITE CHOCOLATE PUMPKIN SNICKERDOODLE COOKIES OMG (recipe HERE). But then, other stuff got in the way, like playing with the baby and working out and writing articles for the other sites I work for… so… oops. Once Zack got home though, Sam decided to nap, and then I threw my apron on and got down in the kitchen. Just me, some mixin’ bowls and an oven. And I made these bad boys. And they are delicious. Even if they weren’t quite as much of a surprise as I was hoping them to be. ;)
Seriously though. These cookies are heaven sent. No exaggeration there. Make them. Today. Tonight. RIGHT NOW. JUST DO IT OKAY. I made one batch, which was only 18 cookies, and I say “only” because I literally could have eaten them all in one sitting. And for the record, I don’t even like white chocolate. I’m a dark chocolate girl, through and through. So I thought I was making these as a sort of sacrifice for my husband (who prefers white chocolate to all other chocolates, the crazy man) and I was being all Joan of Arc-ish over here (slightly dramatic?), and yet here I am, scarfing them all down. I’m already planning on making more and freezing some and making sure that they are available every single day this fall. Also, if you know me in real life, just know that you will probably be tasting the gloriousness of these cookies soon. Get excited.
Also, I got a new plate, so clearly I wanted to show it off. Thanks, Anthro! Did I tell you, I’m starting a plate collection. My mom collected blue and white dishes and also egg cups. Totally unrelated, but also totally perfect. I’ve been pondering what I want to be my thing that I collect, and I settled upon side plates. Because I never really use the big dinner plates anyway, and it’s fun to have a mis-matched collection, don’t you think? Anyway. So this is my newest plate. One day maybe I’ll show my whole collection. You know, when I have more than three plates in it.
Now it’s the weekend, and “Gone Girl” came out today, and I reallyyyyy want to see it, so I’m hoping we’ll get our first real “Post-Sam Date Night” (like, real date night) next week to go see it! I just remember thinking the entire time I was reading the book, This needs to be made into a movie. And now, here it is. So yeah. That needs to happen. Now just to convince Zack’s parents to babysit.
Hm. Wonder if they’ll mind…?
BEST COOKIE YOU’VE EVER HAD? GO.
What’s the last movie you saw in theatres?
xo
Best cookies in the WORLD are at Ruby Snap in Salt Lake City, no joke!!!!!!!!! Find a reason to go to Salt Lake (if you don’t ski that is….)
Salt Lake is so pretty, we just might make it there one day! :) If so, I promise we will hunt down Ruby Snap and be alllll over those cookies!
xo
Those cookies look awesome! I’m more of a dark choc fan, too– but I bet those are delicious anyway :) Sam is getting so big!! And his hair is growing!
Oh those look good! I make Pumpkin Choc. Chip recently which are so yummy too! Though My fave have got to be the ones I make for Valentines Day, Shortbread with raspberry jam…or my gingerbreads….okay so I like cookies…a lot!
Ps Sam is getting so big and handsome!
Yummmm girl, you and me both. ALL OF THE COOKIES! It’s a Norwegian Christmas tradition to bake 7 types of cookies, so I definitely feel you on liking cookies haha
xo
You know, they’d probably be good with dark chocolate chips, too.. hmmm… time to experiment! ;) And I KNOW, he’s getting so big!

Those look soooo good. I don’t know what’s wrong with me this week but I’ve been craving sweets like crazy!! And I’m usually so “meh” about them…lol I just want everything! Not good! But I’ll add this to my baking list. :) And thanks for reminding me that Gone Girl comes out today!!!! I’d love to go see that, haven’t been to the movies in a while. XO have a great weekend!
I alwayyyyys save room for dessert ;) My great grandma taught me that one- and she lived to 98! So you know. I trust her judgment lol Everything in moderation, I say! And girl. If you see the movie, let me know how you liked it!!!
xo
Those cookies look like heaven!!! And I hope you guys can go see the movie! I really want to see it, but I really want to read the book first, and I don’t even have the book yet hahaha. Last movie I saw was Malificent :)
Girl. You must make these cookies. And yes, definitely read the book- it’s twisted and crazy but really good!
xo
These look amazing! I am such a sweet gal, anything with chocolate AND pumpkin is a win! I will definitely have to try these cookies! I made some pumpkin spice muffins a few weeks ago and they were a huge hit ;) maybe not the healthiest but sometimes we all need a little indulgence!
I haven’t been to the movies in so long! My little guy is the exact same age as yours, he started taking a bottle, do hopefully hubby and I can have a few date nights without the kids :)
Happy Friday!
YUM, I need to make pumpkin spice muffins, too! Love them! And hey, everything in moderation! ;) YAY for our boys being the same age! And yay for some date nights, finally!
xo
Ohhh WOW! These look amazing. They may just have to happen this weekend! Thanks for sharing!
Girl, you NEED to make these! They’re too good and perfect for getting in the fall spirit! :)
xo
Those cookies look incredible. I’ll definitely be making them next week. Also, I cannot wait to see Gone Girl. I think I might go tonight, but I hate being in such a crowded theater. What to do, what to do.
That’s why we decided not to go last night, too- not a fan of super crowded theatres! I like to wait a little while, then nobody else is there :)
xo
Who would mind baby-sitting that cutie?! And I was thinking, you should totally do a page about what book you are reading or have read! You seem to have good taste in books ;) Happy Friday!
My thoughts exactly! ;) And oooh I like your book idea! I might have to do that!
xo
Oh yum pumpkin cookies!!
They’re SO yummy!
xo
From the picture I can already tell it’s soft and chewy and buttery and sweet–everything you’d want in a cookie. :)
These cookies are SO soft and chewy, without being doughy- in a word, they are perfection. :)

I quarupled this recipe a few weeks ago and took all of them to a work potluck and they were GONE in less than an hour! Definitely my fall go-to. Thank you, Pinterest :)
