Brookies (Brownie Cookies)
This brookie recipe was inspired by a co-worker who couldn't decide if she wanted brownies or chocolate chip cookies for her birthday treat. Since she said I should just pick one, I thought this up on the way home. I couldn't find a recipe like it on Allrecipes, so I created it. These brookies go quickly; I usually make a double batch in a jelly roll pan.
Oatmeal Scotchies Cookies
In this scotchies cookies recipe, don't even think that you can eat only one! Boy, are these cookies fabulous! They are so moist and chewy. If you prefer a crisper cookie, just bake for a couple of minutes longer. These are great cookies to send overseas to military troops.
Quesabirria Tacos
These quesabirria tacos are a lovely, rich dish that my entire family thoroughly enjoys. It takes some time to make the birria beef filling but it's so worth it. Serve the tacos and sauce with diced onion, lime wedges, and cilantro.
