Cinco de Mayo

Yes we live in America, and we aren't Mexican even a little bit, but we love to celebrate holidays around here (even when they don't apply to us). We usually eat tacos, drink Horchata, and watch The Three Amigos. However, this year I do believe these adorable pinata cookies are in order!

Make It: Pudding cookies!

Awhile back I was looking for a perfect "go to" recipe for chocolate chip cookies. Cooking in high altitude has always meant chocolate chip cookies that were either too flat or otherwise not quiet right. Then I came across this recipe for Vanilla Pudding Chocolate Chip Cookies and I have never looked back!

I just whipped up a batch last night to take with me to visit my sister in laws today. They all agreed, best cookies ever! For this batch I used 1 cup of Hershey's Milk Chocolate Chips and 1 cup of Hershey's White/Vanilla chips. It was a fun departure and added an entirely different flavor! I imagine that this cookie recipe would be a great base for all kinds of different chips!

What is your favorite kind of cookie?
