I’m trying to be more thrifty/frugal and really watch what I spend the grocery allotment for. Same here as everywhere.
One of the things I’ve been doing is not buying candy. I used to get it from the cheap “scratch and dent” store - not from the regular grocery store. I know there are “Candy Nazi’s” out there, but we eat candy here. Please don’t tell the candy police.
Still I think that I can get ingredients from that same cheap store and make healthier desserts. If there is such a thing as healthy desserts. I’m sure there is because if I’m happy my kids will be healthier - kidding!
Plus, they have cake and brownie mixes for one dollar. One dollar for a whole 13 x 9 pan full. So get baking, Jendi!
You can do the same with a regular chocolate chip cookie recipe.
It’s not gourmet, but it’s good!
P.S. If you want fluffy drop cookies mix your dry ingredients separate. My cookies just disappear fast in this house and my kids don’t care if they are fluffy.
So, do you bake?

I love to bake!! And now that I am going to have a bigger kitchen to do it in I will be doing more of it!! I have been in the mood for some sugar cookies but not really in the mood to make some! I think I will try to have some made before I go in to have this baby!! Kids would enjoy that I think!!
I’ll taste test your cookies with PB cups in any day! Yummy!

You made a cookie cake! My kids love cookie cakes and I never thought about just making it on my own! We have some chocolate-oatmeal-peanut butter cookies that we love to make and the kids ask for everyday. Great video.
Those cookies sound good and even partially healthy. Let me know if you try it!

You are welcome to come, but you’ll have to help make more. Those from the video are long gone.

Great tip making bars instead of cookies. I LOVE cookies, but they are quite time consuming. I will give these a try!
