A Fun Twist on Everyone's Favorite Cookies

Funfetti Chocolate Chip Cookies on Waiting on Martha

I’m that type of person that hoards sprinkles, cupcake toppings, cake toppings, different icings; basically any and all baking toppings and add-ins.  So recently when I was rummaging through my pantry on a Sunday afternoon and spied a bag of Sno-Caps and a giant jar of rainbow sprinkles I thought, why not mix it up by making Funfetti Chocolate Chip Cookies.  I mean sprinkles make people happy, and chocolate chip cookies make people happy, so Funfetti Chocolate Chip Cookies seemed like the unicorn of happiness.   

The recipe is easy, and really one of those eyeballing recipes; a little bit more of this a little bit more of that if you get my drift.  I start with the classic Tollhouse Chocolate Chip Cookies recipe found on the back of the bag; it’s not broken, so why try to fix it!  And then when it comes to adding in the chocolate chips I add an additional cup of Sno-Caps, one cup of mini white chocolate chips, and an entire jar of rainbow sprinkles.  This will make your cookies extra extra chocolate-y, gooey and beyond happy. 

Check out the recipe below, but I think you’ll find my Funfetti Chocolate Chip Cookies are simple yet perfect for a birthday or celebratory occasion.  The colorful twist on everyone’s favorite cookie just makes it that much more fun.  Enjoy!  Truly, MKR

P.S. This isn’t the first time I’ve taken the classic chocolate chip cookie recipe and added an unexpected twist; hello Pretzel and Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies.

Boozy Chocolate Peppermint Bread Pudding

An Irresistible Southern Staple, Perfect for the Holidays!
Filed Under > Desserts

Chocolate peppermint bread pudding recipe by @waitingonmartha
Chocolate Peppermint Bread Pudding | Recipe by @waitingonmartha

Chocolate and peppermint is one of my all-time favorite flavor combos.  This should come to no surprise to you if you’ve tried our Chocolate Peppermint Martini, our Chocolate Peppermint Kiss Cupcakes, our Chocolate Candy Cane Popcorn and how could I forget about our Chocolate Peppermint Buttercream Cookie Cake?!  There’s just something about the cool, minty freshness of peppermint paired with smooth, rich chocolate.  

And simply, I’ve also been craving a good bread pudding recently.  When I say good bread pudding, too, clearly I’m talking about decadent, over-the-top bread pudding like this boozy Chocolate Peppermint Bread Pudding here today.  I, in true form, opted for what I consider the best-of-the-best ingredients (it makes such a difference!) and used fluffy, sweet Brioche bread and my new favorite Peppermint Mocha southern cream liqueur.  And because I had my favorite Peppermint Vitality Essential Oil from  The Well Code, on hand (I use it every day for my head and tummy) I was able to infuse the dessert with that extra boost of peppermint without having to buy the store bought sugary crap.

The beauty of bread pudding is all in the baking; it’s actually a simple dish to make, and it’s one that still delivers a gourmet effect when served to a table of hungry brunchers and indulgent desserters alike. The bite-size cubes of sweet bread lightly toast to perfection, giving the dish a crispy crust on the top and around the edges.  That toastiness of that top layer offers the perfect balance to the softness of the soaked gooey bread beneath, sopping up the smooth, creamy peppermint liqueur.  

If boozy bread pudding isn’t on your holiday menu this year, I highly suggest that changes STAT.  And once you try it at home, I’d love to hear how it turned out!  Enjoy!  Truly, MKR

Chocolate Chip Peanut Butter Cup Cookies With Pretzels & Sea Salt

An irresistible play on the classic nestle tollhouse recipe, MKR Style

Is there anything better than a warm, fresh-out-of-the-oven chocolate chip cookie?  The answer is no…or so I thought, until I had today’s Chocolate Chip Peanut Butter Cup Cookies with Pretzels & Sea Salt.  Sweet, salty, crunchy, gooey, chocolatey, peanut buttery, and salty all in one bite.  Is your mouth watering yet?  If not, let me add in that they’re super easy to make.  That did the trick, didn’t it?

Now, I’ve always appreciated and respected a classic recipe I was raised on, a recipe like the Nestle Tollhouse cookie recipe.  But with a few small tweaks, and the addition of a salted crunch factor, I promise today’s cookies will be your new go-to.  For these chocolate chip peanut butter cup cookies, the trick is to use a small ice cream scoop to scoop all the dough onto a baking sheet.  Next, each scoop gets a small pretzel and a generous sprinkle of coarse sea salt. Here, make sure not to press down too hard; use two fingers to keep the pretzel in the center of the cookie as much as possible, and just slightly indented into the dough. 

Like baking anything, be sure to remember that each oven heats differently so always watch your cookies making sure to not over-bake them.   And always remember that the cookies continue to bake after you take them out of the oven.  I always remove them when their edges start to turn golden brown, but their centers still seem a little soft and almost underdone.  Once removed, the centers will continue to bake just a smidge, giving you that perfect, ooey-gooey amazing bite.  Enjoy!  Truly, MKR
