We believe that there are some combinations that were just made in heaven, and one of those is the pairing of blueberry and lemon. The idea for these cookies came courtesy of a head-strong toddler, who insisted that the chocolate chips in her mini-kitchen’s fake plastic chocolate chip cookies were, in fact, “Booberries.” We immediately thought, “That’s a great idea!” and off to the kitchen we went. . . . and a blueberry lemon twist on the traditional oatmeal raisin cookie was born.

This homemade hot chocolate is rich and creamy, and the nutmeg and cinnamon add an exciting kick to this childhood classic. We recently tried our hand at homemade marshmallows (recipe from Smitten Kitchen) that can be described as sweet vanilla marshmallow heaven. They added a great marshmallow froth to the hot chocolate; no need for whipped cream. If you are on a hot chocolate marshmallow kick, check out our Hot Chocolate Cupcakes!
