Ahh Pinterest. You never cease to inspire when it comes to my next baking venture. Recently, cookies of all kinds have been popping up on my feed and I couldn't resist the temptation any longer.

Caution: this recipe makes over 2 dozen cookies, so be sure to share (although that is easier said than done)! You can find the full recipe at the bottom. 

Here's what you'll need.

This is what the mixture should look like when all the ingredients are added.

This is just 1 tray of cookies, but the recipe makes at least 2 dozen.

The finished product!

Best Peach Cobbler Ever

Ok, so the title may be a bit over-zealous, but this peach cobbler really is delicious! My dad asked me to make it a couple of days ago and I just simply forgot. So to surprise him, I had one made by the time he got home from work. You can find the full recipe at the bottom.

Here's what you'll need:

Now go ahead & preheat the oven to 350F. 

Next, mix up all the dry ingredients. 

And add the milk & corn syrup from the peaches to the dry ingredients. 

Now, add the butter & then peaches to the casserole dish. 

Next, pour the batter over the butter & peaches. Then, sprinkle the cinnamon sugar on top. 

Place the dish in the oven for 45min to 1hr or until crust is golden brown. It should look a little like this:

Lastly, enjoy!

Yuuuummmm!
