Store Bought Cookie Dough Hacks: Stuffed Cookies Three Ways and A Holiday Cash Giveaway

Stuffed Cookies Three Ways from www.seasonedsprinkles.com

I love to bake. Back in the days before kid, I used to bake from scratch all the time. These days, puhlease. Bring on the baking hacks. I just don’t have the time or energy to make full on desserts from scratch all the time any more. That’s why I make things like Dipped Sugar CookiesThe Best Cute and Easy Sprinkles Sugar Cookies or Easy Giant Heart Shaped Chocolate Chip Cookie. They use some serious shortcuts.

I used to say when Goose was out of the baby days, out of the terrible twos. We seem like we’ve turned a corner of sorts with her but still, I have my hands full, and baking scratch made goodies has fallen more of my radar in favor of ways to make delicious desserts so much easier.

Like last year instead of baking hundreds of cookies, which had been my jam in Christmases past, I made these awesome salted caramel chocolate chip butter bars instead of making homemade cookies from scratch because you can cut the prep time down in half.

S’mores Stuffed Cookies

My favorite kinds of cookies are super gooey and loaded. You know the kind when you bite into them and they practically ooze with chocolate or other sorts of yum. For me, though store bought cookie dough makes for a good cookie, they never have that extra special gooey goodness that makes a cookie great.
