Seven Layer Magic Cookie Bar Week Day 5
Delicious Cookie Bar Recipes from Averie Cooks

Magic 8 Bars

One of my favorite food blogs is Averie Cooks.  Not only is Averie one of the sweetest bloggers I know, but her recipes make me swoon, stare longingly at my screen and quite possibly drool a fair amount.  And she is amazing at creating bar recipes, so when I wanted to do a week of magic cookie and seven layer bars, I knew I just had to include some of Averie’s recipes. Here are some of the delicious decadent bars {Read More}

Seven Layer Magic Cookie Bar Week
Cookies & Cream Magic Cookie Bars

Cookies & Cream Magic Cookie Bars

I have a theory that you can really never go wrong with cookies and cream. Exhibit A.  Cookies & Cream Magic Cookie Bars. Yum!   I made these earlier in the year and they are divine. I had planned a new recipe for today, but instead I have a toddler with the stomach flu, so baking had to get pushed to the back burner (really bad pun intended).   But this recipe is incredible, so it really works out okay. So head {Read More}

Gingerbread 7 Layer Bars from The Domestic Rebel

Gingerbread 7 Layer Bars from The Domestic Rebel

While thinking of different ingredients that could be used in seven layer magic cookie bars, I came across a combo so fabulous that I simply had to share.  Hayley, also known as The Domestic Rebel, created Gingerbread 7 Layer Bars.  Um, yes please! Holy bar loving amazingness!  Hayley’s version uses the same Duncan Hines Frosting Creations Gingerbread Flavor Packet that I used for my Gingerbread Cinnamon Rolls (which happens to be the flavor that I fell in love with when {Read More}

Oreo Candy Cane Crazy Magic Cookie Bars

Candy Cane Crazy Oreo Magic Cookie Bars by Love From The Oven

Day two of Magic Cookie Bar Week and after going a little peppermint crazy with yesterday’s Peppermint Bites From Other Blogs, I simply had to bring some peppermint goodness to a magic cookie bar. These are loaded with just about every candy cane flavored treat I had in my house, including Candy Cane Oreos, White Chocolate Peppermint M&M’s, Jet-Puffed Peppermint Mallow Bits and Andes Peppermint Crunch Baking Bits.  As my philosophy always goes, if you can’t find these items, just {Read More}

Out of every sweet or treat I’ve ever made for the holidays, one item remains my most favorite ever… The Magic Cookie Bar.  Or Seven Layer Bar.  Call it whatever you want, it really is magic in a pan.   And not only are they insanely delicious they are SO easy to make.  You don’t even need a bowl (though for this version I used one bowl, but minimal clean up – I promise).   Hello, how great is that???    And I {Read More}

My Favorite Chocolate Christmas Cookies

The Best Chocolate Cookie Recipe at Love From The Oven

Well, to be honest, my favorite chocolate cookies any time of the year. In my recipe box, this is the best fudgey, rich, delicious chocolate cookie recipe I have.  It’s a very dense cookie that I think is made all the better by using Dark Chocolate Cocoa (though you can always use regular).  I originally made these last year as giant chocolate chocolate chip cookies inspired by Levain Bakery’s cookies, and have since used this recipe and mixed it up {Read More}

Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookie Pancakes

Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookie Pancakes by Love From The Oven

Another Sunday morning, another fun pancake recipe.  For this recipe, I really wanted to replicate an oatmeal chocolate chip cookie in the form of a pancake.  When I heard “mom this is like eating a chocolate chip cookie for breakfast” I knew I must have done something right. My kiddos can be a bit funny with their tolerance for the texture of oatmeal, so I often run it through a food processor prior to using it in recipes.  I don’t {Read More}

Oatmeal Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies

Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Oatmeal Cookies by Love From The Oven-4

I whipped up these cookies to bring with us on our recent vacation over in San Diego.  As I often try and do, I replaced the all purpose flour with white whole wheat flour, replaced some of the butter with Greek yogurt and added in some oatmeal from an extra whole grain kick. They were fantastic.   I kept them in the fridge in San Diego, mainly because leaving anything out seemed to result in the kitchen becoming a bit too {Read More}

Snickerdoodle Cookie Cupcakes

Snickerdoodle Cupcakes by Love From The Oven

Yesterday I shared my new favorite cupcake, the Pumpkin Pie Cupcake.  Today I’m going to share my daughter’s favorite – the Snickerdoodle Cookie Cupcake. This is kind of crazy, but I went the majority of my life having never tried a snickerdoodle.  I’m not sure how that happens, I think I must have always been distracted by other cookies.   On a trip to Disneyland a few years back, I was looking for the Disneyland bakery snickerdoodles, as I wanted to {Read More}
