Espresso and Sea Salt cookies are the perfect sweet and salty treat. My name is Melissa and I am so excited to be a new contributor here at Around My Family Table. I am the owner of The Baked Equation in Phoenix and have a passion for nutrition. I can’t wait to delve into a [...]
Coconut Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies….oh yeah! I love the flavor combination of chocolate and coconut together. Add in the oatmeal and it’s a match made in cookie heaven. I made these cookies for a potluck so that I knew there would be something I could eat and for an acquaintance that I knew was celiac and would [...]
These cookies are so good and a cinch to make. I whipped them up in a hurry trying to use up some leftover cinnamon chips from the holiday baking season. The cinnamon chips and pretzels are the perfect combination of sweet & salty. They are a fun twist on traditional chocolate chip cookies and I [...]

Hubbyman thinks it’s crazy that I don’t like pumpkin pie (I don’t like apple pie either….eek)! I do love canning my own pumpkin and I also make my own pumpkin butter from scratch. [...]
A couple days ago, I asked on Facebook for some inspiration. I needed to jazz up our Nutella and PB routine. I got so many wonderful ideas from that question, but one response, from Stephanie M, really intrigued me. So the Flourless Nutella Cookie idea was born! By now, I’m sure you’ve all heard of or tried [...]
Yes, I was on a cookie kick last weekend when I came up with these Cranberry White Chocolate Cookies! I ended up splitting my dough and doing something more creative than Chocolate Chip Cookies with the second half of the dough. So, I dug through the cabinets and found some leftover dried cranberries and about [...]
