These cookies are so alternative.



Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars

Betty Crocker's cookie recipe (which is the best ever) + an extra half-cup of flour, spread evenly in a shallow sheet pan and baked for 17 minutes in a 350° oven. Yummy.






Caramel No-Bake Cookies

They are butterscotch really, and they take hours to set but they are totally worth the wait!
I had oodles of recipe requests at work today.

Spicy Thai Chicken Pizza

One of the local pizza places has a great thai pizza but it's a little skimpy on the chicken, and too expensive for us to have as often as we'd like... so we decided to try and recreate it at home.

This was our first attempt:


Chopped green onions and peanuts.



Chicken breast marinated and cooked in spicy Thai peanut sauce and sweet chili sauce.



The above ingredients mixed together.



Giant cookie sheet dusted with corn meal.




Pizza dough stretched into place and
covered with yummy spicy sweet chili sauce.



+ mozzarella cheese, chicken, more cheese, and extra green onion and peanuts.



20 minutes in the oven and... ta-da!



Oooh, isn't is gorgeous??
It tastes even better than the restaurant pizza.

Yay, me.
