I kind of despise cooking right now since I'm pregnant and really picky. BUT, I can agree on eating just about anything sweet. So, give me some good ideas of treats I can bake!
I love cookies, brownies, and cakes. I'm not big into frosting, lots of gooey caramel, or nuts.

Toll House cookies. The original recipe is so comforting. I'll also cook oatmeal choc chip. This is my fave recipe:
2 sticks butter
3/4C sugar
3/4C brown sugar
2 eggs
1 t vanilla
Scant 3/4 cup flour
1 t baking soda
1 t salt
3 heaping cups quick oats
2 C choc chips
Mix wet ingredients. Add dry ingredients. Bake at 375 for 10+/- minutes. Best when still slightly gooey out of the oven (for me, at least).

@BoogieBea: ooh! I haven't tried making these before! I need to buy a special pan though right?

@luckypenny: I'm sure you can make it them with a muffin pan as well. Just don't fill it up all the way? It won't have the traditional madeleine cookie shape though of course.

@luckypenny: some of my fave recipes come from real simple magazine by the way. they are all online I believe. My fave are double chocolate chip cookies (cocoa powder in the dough). Yummmmmm

@cmomma17: Mmm. I just made cookies like this but added white chocolate chips in addition to semi-sweet chips.

I love to make cakes of all kinds (usually with frosting). But my favorite cookie recipe is for Momofuku Milk Bar Compost Cookies - salty and sweet! http://www.browneyedbaker.com/2013/10/22/momofuku-milk-bar-compost-cookies-recipe/
Also these brownies are delicious and easy:

Sadly, I seem to have lost my sweet tooth during my pregnancy so far. Something I never thought possible!
