I have been searching for years for a good chocolate chip cookie recipe friends. No seriously, it is my baking nemesis check out my previous post on this very topic: chocolate cookie recipe fail. I’ve tried so many recipes it’s embarrassing. Each one just isn’t very good. I finally have a recipe that has succeeded several times! It has taken much trial and error but I finally am proud to say I have an amazing chocolate chip cookie recipe and love them so much they don’t last more than a day or two around here!

I’m headed to a large women’s retreat this weekend to do live art during worship sessions. I have 4 large pieces I’ve been working on for that but also will be taking extra pieces.

Gluten Free Chocolate Peanut Butter Buckeye Cake

crazyblessedlife

Growing up one of my favorite things my mom made was buckeyes. They are yummy balls of peanut butter dipped in chocolate. Yep, if I had to name one major food weakness (after bread) it is definitely chocolate peanut butter anything! I also have a dear friend who recently had to go gluten free. This girl is super sweet and any time we have food at church (um, weekly y’all) she watches everyone eat dessert and never complains! So this cake was born as a way to make sure my friend has a dessert option 🙂
