Eggless Cookie Dough (1 Serving)
I love just eating cookie dough so I made some eggless cookie dough! Substitute other add-ins for the chocolate chips if you like.
Stuffed Chicken Cordon Bleu
My boyfriend hates chicken. That being said, all relationships have compromise and he loves the flavor combination of this cordon bleu dish. It's sure to be a favorite with the picky eaters in your life--especially those who don't like chicken. Serve with steamed rice and green vegetable of your choice.
Brown Butter-Maple Shortbread Bear Cookies
These shortbread cookies are not too sweet, but full of flavor thanks to brown butter and maple syrup. They make an adorable (and tasty) addition to any cookie platter!
