So I did it again. I have always been a big foodie if you haven’t already noticed with my reviews of restaurants in the past, but learning how to make food yourself is even better.
The weekend of Mother’s Day, I found my time to be a little less consumed with work and more time for things I wanted to do before I spent Sunday with my Mom. I have a ton of cookbooks that were handed down to me from my Mom, so I decided to look around for a good recipe online where I had almost all of the ingredients and could make something really tasty. I ended up making some miniature Cinnamon Streusel Cakes and Chocolate Chip Cookies. The two snack flavors of chocolate and cinnamon ended up being a good mix in tastes and eating them while they are still hot is even better.
Streusel basically means something that is scattered or sprinkled normally on top of muffins, cakes, or breads. Normally people make their streusels in a bundt cake form, but I changed these up to make them an individual snack for everyone by putting them in cupcake form. It had a light cinnamon sugar sprinkled on top of it and was baked with cinnamon on the inside as well. This was a recipe I found in a cookbook, but I found one online that was similar here.
And of course the chocolate chip cookies are a very simple and have to be almost everyone’s favorite cookie. They are very simple to make and is a recipe everyone should remember, so I am throwing in the Nestle recipe as well for you.

PS – Your mom is a lucky woman!
I know, they were so good too. I have more where that came from. I think because finals are almost over with, I have had more time to make some tasty stuff. More to come!
