It should be noted that the in-store registration “gun” was much easier to use at Target than at Crate & Barrel.

Turtle Cookies
December 9th, 2010 · No Comments
On a whim one day while at Target I bought a bag of Kraft Caramel Bits. Then I didn’t know what to do with them so I Googled search for ways to use them in a cookie recipe. I came across a recipe for Chocolate Caramel Cookies at Rookie Cookie. I used this recipe for a base, added toasted pecans, and renamed them Turtle Cookies!
These are all the ingredients for Turtle Cookies. … err.. except I also used pecans, which I toasted, and Sugar in the Raw. They say that the first rule of baking is to buy the highest quality ingredients that you can afford. Well, you can see how much I abide by this rule, with all of my store-branded ingredients! Whoops.
After forming the cookies into balls, I rolled them in Sugar in the Raw before baking.
Cooling on the rack. The Sugar in the Raw gives them a glittery look. Fancy!
The cookies came out a nice thickness. The sugar on the outside made them crispy on the outside. The inside was soft and moist.
The caramel in the Turtle Cookies didn’t melt the way I thought it would, it kind of stayed in balls. No matter. I made these for Halle’s first birthday and everyone seemed to love them.

Riley @ Target
December 14th, 2008 · 5 Comments
Nancy emailed me about a month ago to say that a photograph that Riley modeled for made it into a Target sales flier. I was going to pass it on to people who know Nancy and Riley or post about it here, but I didn’t have time. The following Sunday, Kelly called and left me a voice mail. She was at Target around De Pere or Green Bay with Charlotte and she swore that this girl in a display there looked like Riley. She thought she was going crazy. Nancy never told me she’d be on in-store displays, but if I had to guess I’d say it was her!
