Usually after dinnertime, I’ll often feel this jolt of excitement and the next thing I know, I’ll be craving my next, best treat. I’m not kidding. I am a walking sweet tooth and my constant dessert cravings can get a little out of hand.
Something’s changed, though. For the past several days I’ve been carrying on without this jolt and have been getting through a number of evenings without eating any dessert. There are many possibilities as to why and I’ve narrowed them down to two: a) My 7-year-old sweet tooth has finally caught up with my actual age or, b) I’m getting tired of my usual “go-to” treats.
Must be option b.
I have, however, had the urge to bake. While I lacked inspiration for my own cravings, I knew that I had all of the ingredients for one of my husband’s personal favorites: chocolate chip oatmeal cookies.
I pulled this recipe from Averie Cooks and as always, my batches came out ooey, gooey, and perfect.
I always love baking for others, but help me find my sweet tooth again! What are some desserts you suggest that I try?
Oh. My. Gosh!!! These look unbelievably delicious 🙂 I, too, admittedly have a psycho sweet tooth and these are looking like just what I need.. Did you know that I never used to have these cravings? I wonder what brings things like this on..
XOXO

Kelly,
I’m glad to know I’m not the only one with an out-of-control sweet tooth. Do you think it has to do with hormonal changes as we get older? I wonder the same thing as you!
These look so yummy! I’m glad I stumbled across your blog, it’s lovely and I love all your photos!

Dara,
Thank you! That’s really sweet of you. As you see, I’ve got quite the sweet tooth so I’ll definitely be posting more dessert articles like this one.
I’m a sweet tooth as well, but my luck is that I don’t bake. So, as long as my boyfriend doesn’t bring in any chocolate or dessert, I’m save ^^
Thanks for the comment, your blog looks gorgeous! Lots of recipe inspirations here 🙂

Carmen,
Thanks! Is it enough to say that they’re somewhat healthy? Just want to make myself feel better!
Dammit Lisa, this blog is probably the sole reason why my diet isn’t working. You’re always baking the most delicious look things. Not gonna stop me from coming back though haha I’m not really a fan of white chocolate but when it’s got macadamias… Whole other echelon right there!

Shannon,
I think my diet’s been down the drain ever since I started this blog, so I can totally relate! And yes, I am SO with you on macadamias… thanks for the idea! I’ll totally have to make a cookie recipe incorporating them. If I figure one out, I’ll let you know!
These sound and look delicious! Awesome recipe! I don’t bake as often, but I always have chocolate on hand to satisfy my cravings. ahaha

I should consider keeping a bowl of chocolate by my bedside to fulfill those sweet-tooth cravings of mine!
These are so yummy and delicious. I really would like to try.

Maria,
They’re definitely worth a try… especially if you have a sweet tooth!
Love a good oatmeal cookie, and adding white chocolate? Perfect! Pinned!
Carrie,
Thank you for sharing with fellow Pinners! Oatmeal cookies are great… I should try making some with an icing glaze.
