Featured Dish: Drop Cookies

Three Words to Describe It: Sweet, “Easy”, Classic

Yes, we know, Drop Cookies are literally just cookies. But they don’t have to be. Since we all know that Drop Cookies are named that because of how they are shaped on the baking sheet, here are some delicious varieties to try this year for just a tad bit of elevation into ‘dropping’:

  • Old Fashioned Sour Cream Drop Cookies w/ Brown Butter Frosting (Real Life Dinner)
  • Funfetti (‘Drop’) Cookies (Preppy Kitchen)
  • Giant Oatmeal Drop Cookies (MyRecipes)
  • Peanut Butter Chocolate No-Bake (‘Drop’) Cookies (Food Network)

Have you tried this delicious holiday treat yet? Your thoughts? Let’s hear it!

Featured Dish: Sweet Potato Cobbler

Three Words to Describe It: Innovative, Classic, Hearty

Excuse me, what?! I’ve never even heard of such a thing. Sure, I know of and probably have a tasted the pie version of this, but a cobbler?! I guess my super one-track mind just thought that cobblers were reserved for fruits only. I found a super easy and deliciously hearty-sounding recipe from The Spruce Eats that really brings this super Southern comfort classic to life! Are you a marshmallows on your sweet potatoes kinda person, much like myself? Let’s chat all about it!
