White Chip Chocolate Cookies with Peppermint #ShareTheHoliday AD | Mama Harris' KitchenI’ve been on a cookie spree lately, but I figure that during this time of year you can never have too many options when it comes to cookies, right? There’s also a lot of seasonal flavors this time of year, and sometimes people can be really opinionated about them. Today it’ll be chocolate and peppermint and I know people either love the combination.. or they don’t.

Of course, these cookies are for the fans.

As for me, I love festive flavors for every season. I’ve been playing with a lot of cookie flavors recently, and was so excited to come up with these white chip chocolate cookies with peppermint. These cookies combine some of my favorite flavors and allows them to weave together deliciously so there’s not just one main star. The entire cookie is the star.

White Chip Chocolate Cookies with Peppermint #ShareTheHoliday AD | Mama Harris' KitchenI used unsweetened cocoa powder for the cookie, good quality white chips and a splash of peppermint extract in the mix to go along with the sprinkle of crushed candy canes on top.They are thick, the edges are crispy, and the middle is soft and fudgy. Then the little crunch from the crushed candy canes on top. I just love that wave of peppermint fragrance when you pull them out of the oven, but it’s not overpowering at all. Best of all, they’re made to gift!

White Chip Chocolate Cookies with Peppermint #ShareTheHoliday AD | Mama Harris' KitchenI just love to gift homemade cookies to my favorite people, I don’t think anything beats a gift made out of love, and that’s why when I was at my local Walmart getting some baking supplies for these cookies I was so excited to see that these Rubbermaid TakeAlongs come in a various sizes for all of my gifting needs and they also come in a variety of festive holiday colors and prints! They’re not just for cookies either, they come in a plenty of convenient sizes and shapes to fit your needs and help you share and celebrate for the holidays. I love the Quik Clik Seal™ technology that secures foods and prevents spills, and I also love that these are both microwave and dishwasher safe.

White Chip Chocolate Cookies with Peppermint #ShareTheHoliday AD | Mama Harris' KitchenIn fact, Walmart shoppers can receive $1 off any 2 Rubbermaid TakeAlongs with this rebate offer. I went ahead and bought packages in each color since I always need more food storage, especially this time of year. Whenever I have guests for dinner, we’re left scrambling at the end of the night for something to put their food in so they can take some home, so I think these are also a great option for that as well.

    Great minds think alike. I just bought a bunch of Rubbermaid containers for the epic cookie baking I knew that I would be doing this month! I also today was wanting to make some candy cane topped cookies, but I haven’t gotten to that quite yet. So many cookies, so little time.

(AD) There has been a lot of cooking going on this year, so I’ve tried to make life a bit easier by getting creative with my leftovers. These pulled pork totchos are a great example of leftovers with a few key ingredients to create something new to keep our meals exciting. Adding a few key ingredients like @lamorenausa adobo peppers and jalapeños and carrots definitely livens up something simple. La Morena peppers are hand selected, using only the highest quality peppers to bring you authentic home style flavors of Mexico. I purchased my La Morena items from my local Safeway, but you can find them at your favorite grocery store in the international food section. #PayItForwardwithLM #VivaLaMorena #WeCanWithLaMorena 
 
INGREDIENTS:
- 32 oz tater tots
- 2 cups shredded cheese (Mexican blend + Pepper Jack)
- 2 cups prepared bbq pulled pork (check my pulled pork sliders recipe!)
- 1/2 can La Morena Adobo Peppers & Sauce
- 2 tablespoons sour cream 
- 2 tablespoons ranch dressing
- 1 cup pico de Gallo
- 1/2 cup guacamole
- 3 chopped green onions 
- 3-4 La Morena jalapeños and carrots, sliced

INSTRUCTIONS:
Prepare tater tots as instructed, in air fryer or oven. Heat oven to 450°. 
Cover the bottom of a large cast iron skillet with the cooked tater tots. 
Top with 1 1/2 cup of cheese. 
Combine the chopped adobo peppers and sauce with the prepared bbq pulled pork. Spread the pulled pork mixture on top of the tater tots, then top with the remaining cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven for 5 minutes.
Top with sour cream, ranch, pico de Gallo, guacamole, green onions, and sliced jalapeños and carrots.

Enjoy!! 😋

Happy December, all!! 🎄Since it’s basically Christmas now, it’s time to share ALL the holiday cookies! 

Every year I join my friend @natashanicholes as she heads up her #HousefulofCookies virtual cookie swap, where many of us share some sweet treats for the holiday season. 

This year I’ve created Cranberry Pistachio Citrus Cookies to share as my contribution. 🍪 I know that a lot of things have turned “virtual” throughout this year, but a little virtual bake-off is a fun way to connect with some of your favorite people!

Hello Instagram fam! 💖 There’s some new faces around here and it’s been a while since I showed mine!

I’m Dawn, creator of Mama Harris’ Kitchen, and I’m so glad you’re here with me! In this space I share my family-friendly recipes for all occasions, whether it be a 30-minute meal for those busy weeknight dinners or a full spread for entertaining a crowd - and everything in between.

Mama Harris’ Kitchen began back in 2012, in fact it’s 8 years this month! 🥳  What started as a way to document my newfound cooking hobby while managing my “new” life as a stay-at-home wife and mom to a 1 and 3 year along with teens and preteens, and it quickly grew into what it is now - a recipe resource for busy families like mine that enjoy flavorful and comforting home-cooking using pantry staples along with fresh and local ingredients as often as possible. 

🍿Five fun facts about me:
1. I LOVE elephants! 🐘 I collect a lot of elephant items, whether it’s trinkets or  artwork, notepads etc. I love what elephants symbolize and I truly love anything elephant related.
2. I’m a total plant lady! 🌱 I have about 35 houseplants, give or take, and there’s still more on the list of wants. Plants have become such a peaceful outlet for me, and I feel that they really center me within my space. I love the element plants bring to your space and the feel of your home with them in it, and new leaves are so exciting!
3. I have seven tattoos and I have plans for about eight more. 💉 Those that know me aren’t surprised, but those that follow me here tend to find it a bit surprising. 🙃
4. I’ve been a mother for a long time, over half my life! I’ve also been a lot of different “types” of mom - teen mom, single mom, working mom, stepmom, stay at home mom, PROUD mom, military mom, mother in law - the list goes on. No matter what, motherhood looks different for everyone and there’s unique challenges and experiences each mother faces. Please be gentle with yourself! ❤️At the end of the day we’re all just trying our best!
5. I’m a bit of an introvert, and often struggle with the “social” aspect of social media. I tend to go silent sometimes, but I’m working on it.

☀️Thank you for joining me here!
