Happy 2011.
I know what you are thinking. “A cookie recipe to kick of the New Year? Is this girl trying to sabotage our healthy eating goals already?”
No I am not.
I actually made these cookies on New Year’s Eve. So, technically, they were the last cookie of 2010. Ohhh they were good. The frosting should be declared a drug. I planned to take them to a friends house New Year’s Day, but realized I forgot them when we were half way there. This left me with a plate full of cookies and a tasty little treat for an 8 hour drive home.
It wasn’t until our drive home that Brett and I actually talked about our resolutions for the New Year. Cookie in hand, my cute husband tells me he wants to get “shredded” in 2011, and that he needed my help. (Basically implying that I need to make more healthy meals and quit sending him to work with so many treats.)
Cookie-in-my-hand, I said I could do with a little less sugar myself this year and that overall, I would like to eat healthier too. (I have no plans on getting shredded). Well, since yesterday was January 2nd, we were on the road, and I don’t eat celery while driving, I decided our New Year would start today;) And I didn’t feel bad about eating a cookie or two or three, while driving.
Um, so I’m supposed to be starting the “McMullin’s biggest loser challenge” today, but I saw this cookie on your blog that I really want to try now. Plus, I think I have all of the ingredients…
So I want you to know that I’m relying on you for some healthy low calorie recipes soon…as well as some willpower. You are looking fantastic and I need to know how. 😉
Looks delicious and definitely NOT healthy. I’ll have to try these when I know I have someone else to pawn them off on otherwise, my new years resolution of losing the baby weight will NOT happen!
Oh myyyyy…as I am reading blogs in my bed before I go to sleep I’m going to be dreaming of those tonight. They look really REALLY good. I feel like i’m always just drooling all over every comment I make…embarrassing.
p.s. Thanks for the comment on the hospital gown. 🙂 I’ve thought about selling them on etsy, but I haven’t the slightest idea if that is even possible…is it hard? Do you know?
WOW~ These look so easy and delicious!
How did you make your frosting SO perfect?!
So much for the diet… Browned Butter Crinkles here she comes!

“The frosting should be declared a drug.” Do I ever agree with you, brown butter is so addicting and so good! A double dose can never be a bad thing, these are a must bake for me. Happy baking!
