Fabulous Cocoa-Cinnamon Chews with White Chocolate Chips

I like to put a new twist on old favorites so yesterday I concocted these gems and I have to say, I was more than pleased with the result. They are simple, delish and of course.....fabulous!

 

Fabulous Cocoa-Cinnamon Chews with White Chocolate Chips

2 Sticks of salted room temp butter

2 Large eggs

1 Teaspoon of Corbin Sweet Potato Liquor or Vanilla (The Corbin Liquor is a "secret" ingredient that makes them extra yummy!)

1 1/2 Cups of granulated sugar

1 Cup of light brown sugar

2 Tablespoons of unsweetened cocoa powder

1 Teaspoon of cinnamon

1 Teaspoon baking soda

1/2 Teaspoon of sea salt

2 1/2 Cups of flour

1 Cup of white chocolate chunks

Optional:

1/2 Cup of chopped pecans

1/2 Cup of shredded coconut

Mix wet ingredients in a large bowl then add sugars and coca powder. In a separate bowl mix flour, baking soda, cinnamon and salt. Combine wet and dry ingredients until well mixed, then add chips.

Bake at 350 degrees for 10-12 minutes.

If my daughters had their way, I would add pecans and shredded coconut. However, they'd flip if I put nuts in the cookies...sigh...maybe once I ship them off to grandmas for a weekend I'll try it. No, wait, if they are at grandmas, I will NOT be cooking! I'll be sipping wine by a pool somewhere fabulous!



 

Fabulous Fringe Booties!

It's pretty safe to say I will be sporting this style frequently....I'm obsessed with fringe and I feel like these beauties are going to be making regular wardrobe appearances. Do you have a favorite?!

Tis The Season For Fireworks and Red Lips!

Red lips are sort of an everyday thing for me and with July 4th just around the corner I thought I'd share my top picks from stains to glosses....let the fireworks begin!




1. Sephora Cream Lip Stain in Always Red

This red is perfect during the summer with a shimmery fuchsia on top. During the holidays I like to add a darker shimmery gloss on top of this. I also like to layer this lippie with the Chanel I have listed below (#4).  It adds a bit of moisture and the colors compliment each other.




2. Sephora Lip Last in Color 19 Matte Red

I also like to use this as a base  the same way I do with #1. It makes a more long wearing combo than above and it won't bleed.




3. NARS Limited Edition Velvet Matte Lip Pencil Mysterious Red

I love the ease of this and the fact that it delivers a precise line.  






4. Chanel Rouge Allure in Passion 104

I layer this color over darker colors and wear it alone...definitely my go to perfect red and the amount of moisture it delivers is perfect.






5. MAC Red

I have gone through multiple tubes of this, tried and true.
