In the beginning of my pregnancy I craved fruit and berries. Lately though the sweet tooth has really kicked in and all I want is cookies!! I'm a big believer in listening to your cravings so I made these delightful things the other day. Pumpkin Pecan Chocolate Chunk Cookies with Maple Butter frosting. The bun in the oven loved them.
I also got to go to a cookie decorating class for Relief Society last week. Which is perfect because I had eaten all my pumpkin cookies by then and needed some more treats! I made one for Taber, Teya and Brinley, and one each for me and the baby. (Hey, he loves cookies too!) The class was so fun and I thought they came out pretty cute for a rookie cookie decorator.
The crowning moment of my cookie cravings happened yesterday though when I stumbled upon these delightful creatures at the grocery store. I thought you could only get Girl Scout cookies in March! Apparently not!
Keebler has come out with a new cookie called Coconut Dreams that looks and tastes identical to Girl Scout Samoas. I was in cookie bliss.
In un-related news my stomach now looks like I swallowed a basketball. : )

Ooooooh! I am totally drooling right now!
Girl, I crave cookies and I'm not even pg!
The somoas are my FAVE!
I actually enjoyed being far along in pregnancy during the holidays. I'm sure baby boy will give you lots more cravings then too.
Yummo! I'm seriously going to the store tonight to by those. Next time you come out we should have a cookie decorating class. I want to learn how to do that.
Oh man. I was trying NOT to read this post. I'm trying desperately not to eat so many treats but that picture of those frosting-covered cookies in my blog update feed could not be denied! Those look so good! And your cookie-decorating skills are impressive! Yum yum yum.
What a coincidence! I made chocolate chip cookies from scratch for the first time in forever the other day and today I made peanut butter brownies because I am totally digging cookies right now! Glad to know I am not the only one who looks like a walking basketball!
Oh man. I'm just lucky guys can't get pregnant because I have a hard enough time with cookies. All I need is an excuse ...
Those cookies look so yummy! Could you just come here to Hawaii and make me some? Great job Becca!
Seeriously Becca the coconut dreams will be in my dreams tonight!! And I make those identical pumpkin cookies ( minus the pecans..allergic) every fall and we'll thank you for reminding me I should make some pronto!!!
Hey I found those coconut dreams too! Seriously a great find, and cheaper! (sorry girl scouts!) ha;0) I love them! Yeah, no fair I'm constantly craving cookie and I'm not even preggers! And I think me and Tristan are the only ones who really eat them! At least I have a side kick for all my eating haha!
Becca- I thought we talked about this..... NO CRAVINGS!!! darn you and your blog:) Now of course cookies are on the menu
I have been having cookie cravings, too! I keep finding excuses to make them, and then I end up eating way too many. This post didn't help - those Coconut Dreams look so unbelievable. Wow.
Also, very impressed at your decorating skills - I am awful at decorating cookies. What kind of icing is that? It looks so smooth and glossy.
Oh man...these all look so good. I have bee in a totally baking mood lately too. Seriously...I know I say this all the time but I WISH you were still here so we could do all this together!!
Those pumpkin pecan chocolate chunk cookies with maple butter sound absolutely divine! Oh heavens! That will definitely be on the project list this month. Thanks for sharing the recipe!
