Bite Sized Watermelon Sugar Cookies

Thank you Pinterest!

While looking for some new sugar cookie ideas, I came across this. And I was inspired! I thought these were so cute! So I made them, only bite-sized.

I made sugar cookie dough and tinted it green. I rolled it into two logs and froze them overnight.

In the morning I sliced the logs into coin-sized circles. Once I had a circle, I cut the circle in half and baked them.

I then tinted canned frosting and dark pink - almost red color. Add the frosting and some mini chocolate chips for the seed effect.

And ta-da! Summer cuteness!

Adorable bite-sized little cookies! I thought they turned out cute!

Double Chocolate Banana Cookies

So the other day, I noticed I had a couple of sad looking bananas. I didn't want to throw them away, so I decided to bake with them.

I didn't want to make the usual banana bread cookies I usually make and besides, I didn't have any pecans or walnut for those cookies.

So inspired by chocolate banana shakes I used to make when I was younger, I came up with these cookies.

They're chocolatey... they're banana-y? They are a cake-like and moist.

And they have chocolate chips in them!

Try 'em! Do it!

2/3 C. Shortening
1/2 C. Brown Sugar
2 Eggs
1 tsp. Vanilla
1 C. Mashed Banana
2 1/4 C. Sifted flour
2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. baking soda
1/3 C. Cocoa
1 C. Chocolate Chips

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

1. Blend together sugars and shortening.
2. Add eggs one at a time.
3. Add vanilla and banana.
4. In separate bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, salt, baking soda and cocoa. Blend together with wire wisk.

*Before I baked these cookies, I took a fork, wet it with some water and flattened the cookies a little. I think they turned out prettier.

Coconut Chocolate Chip Cookies & Homemade Nutter Butters

So the other day I was at the Dollar Tree. Not only did I score on some parchment paper, I found some coconut and and chocolate chips.

I found this recipe and made these coconut chocolate chip cookies. I added some coconut on top of the cookies before I baked them because I wanted the coconut flavor to come through. They were very good.

This week I made homemade Nutter Butter cookies again.

Only this time, I took the easy way out and just made them round instead of the "peanut" shape. These cookies are always a favorite and I always get so many compliments and requests for them.

These are serious cookies and not just cookies you can whip up a batch and bake. You have to chill the dough, make the filling and then roll the dough in sugar and shape the dough, which can take some time.

But they are so worth it!

Recipe is from here.
