I should probably clarify that that title doesn’t bear much relevance to this post, other than the fact that I baked. And I just like the way it sounds.
It also helps you to understand how I spent a good deal of my weekend, right?
In case you were wondering, Mama Pea’s infamous Cookie Dough Balls can be made using real butter and spelt flour. Heav. en. ly.
This lonely muffin was made solely to satisfy my sweet tooth with minimal effort. I used the age-old trick of combining spice cake mix (1.75 servings) with canned pumpkin (about 1/4 cup) and baked for 12 minutes. I didn’t feel like making cream cheese icing, but since this cake was in muffin-form I justified topping it with plain old butter.
Montana Whoppers are my favorite cookies, and they’ll become the favorite of just about anyone who tries them.
This weekend I also:
- watched two Ashton Kutcher movies
- found a fun new hobby (I just posted a new ensemble, in fact!)
- decided to possibly-maybe-still-not-sure take a trip to NYC later today
Enjoy your Sunday, ‘cakes! xoxo G

The cookie balls look amazing.
It’s not a good idea to browse blogs before going out for brunch.
I can’t be responsible for what I am about to order.
Haha, one little muffin…that’s great!
aweee it is a lonely little muffin sitting in the pan. or else, its a greedy muffin who ate all the others to become MORE delicious lol. mmmm the cookies look fabulous. thats so smart adding white chocolate to the mix- makes the colors of the chocolate and red/green POP with holiday color <3
Hi! Just stopping by for the first time. I had to leave a comment because seeing those cookie dough bites makes me so jealous! I want one!
Gracie, I forgot to mention how much I LOVE your new layout! It is SO you! The pearls, nail polish…. perfect. Your ‘balls’ look amazing! They’re great with coconut flour and almond meal as well!

Hey Michelle! Thank YOU for posting the wonderful recipe! I’ve actually been using it since my pre-blogging days
I actually wanted to run something by you. I’m doing a guest post for Heather (thenheathersaid.com) on easy, semi-handmade ways to package cookies/baked goods to give as gifts for the holiday season. Would you might if I mentioned your Montana Whoppers there as well? The photos/linkage would be similar as in this post
Let me know what you think! Thanks girl xoxo G
I know a gem when I get my hands on one! When the recipe found its way to me, I knew I just *had* to share it.
I’d be honored if you mentioned/linked to the Montana Whoppers post in your guest post for Heather. Spread the word far and wide!
Thanks so much!
Baking is excellent use of a weekend, if you ask me!
I am getting in the mood to bake, too! I’ve see Mama Pea’s dough balls many times on many blogs. Maybe it’s a sign that I should make them?
I think I’ll be baking up a batch of oatmeal raisin tonight.
I still have some banana bread chilling in my fridge, but this post makes me want to bake again! Especially those dough balls!
This post made me crave any type of baked good available haha Love!!
I love baking - I did some of that yesterday. It turned out really well!
They look so delicious. I need to bake some up asap!
The best weekends are spent BAKING!
Oh my gosh these all look SO GOOD. Especially those cookie dough ones. Ooooh, swoon. I love baked goods- unfortunately, my waist does not.
OMG the Montana Whoppers are INCREDIBLE! I want to try to cook it!
Those cookie dough balls look amazing! I NEED to try them! Are those Christmas M&Ms in the Montana Whoppers?!?!?
