Note to self. A three-year-old plus a platter of cookies = temptation beyond measure. Every single cookie -- about 20 of them. Mangled. A little finger print right thru the top. Actually, it kind of looks like what my sister's boxes of chocolates look like after they've tested them to see which ones are cremes/caramels… Continue reading Crushed Cookies

White Chocolate Cherry Shortbread
Here's another example of how Pinterest has changed my life. I never would have thought to chop up maraschino cherries to use in cookies. These decadent rose hued shortbread are so beautiful, they're almost too pretty to eat. My daughter flipped out when she saw that I was making PINK cookies! They are sure to… Continue reading White Chocolate Cherry Shortbread
Sweet Spritz
Finally! I have found the ultimate solution to my spritz cookie dilemma. You may remember that last year when I posted this recipe, I admitted that I have a little trouble with the cookies flattening out. That I thought it might be the recipe, but as I'm the fourth generation to make them (and they… Continue reading Sweet Spritz
Peanut Butter Oatmeal Cookies
There's a girl I know. She bakes a lot of wonderful things. She says these are her favorite cookie. If, of all the delicious things she creates, these are her top pick, they must be awesome. I had to try them for myself. But just one. I'm selling the rest tomorrow at our garage sale.… Continue reading Peanut Butter Oatmeal Cookies
Samoas Bars
Girl Scouts, and their cookies are evil. Little girls in little outfits, their adorable patches and vests and all those delightful rectangular boxes of deliciousness. Eager smiles and bright eyes saying "Would you like to buy some cookies?". I managed to avoid them this year. I hid my face, pretended to be deaf, did all… Continue reading Samoas Bars
Chocolate Chip Zucchini Cookies
For over a week I've been craving chocolate and zucchini. Yes together. No kidding. It's good. Really! I mentioned my mom's chocolate chip zucchini cake in a post just before Easter and I've had a hankerin' for it ever since. Today I realized that I had a lone leftover zucchini hanging in my crisper drawer… Continue reading Chocolate Chip Zucchini Cookies
MOPS Round-up
I had a wonderful group of ladies over tonight. We enjoyed sharing our ideas, passions and experiences and talked about next year's MOPS group. We also had food. Lots of it. For those who were there, thank you for your servant's hearts, enthusiasm, questions and support. I am so excited to take this journey with… Continue reading MOPS Round-up
Spring Biscotti
The only biscotti cookie I've ever made is my mom's Twice Baked Walnut Cookies. Biscotti are fantastic and since I'm having a little tea/coffee get together tomorrow night, I thought a hard biscuity cookie would be a nice addition to my table. But, I wanted to try something new. I updated a typically bland cookie… Continue reading Spring Biscotti
Pumpkin Spice Muffin Tops
These are one of my favorite "cookies" to make. First of all, they are warm tasting and soft. The spices make you feel all homey and there's no hard crunch to contend with to break that mood. Secondly, they are practically guilt free since they're made with applesauce and pumpkin. Really, they're like eating a… Continue reading Pumpkin Spice Muffin Tops
Amazing Gluten Free, Dairy Free Peanut Butter Cookies
I do not know how my sweet sister Jessica manages to love life with all her food restrictions. She has type 1 diabetes, which makes sugar something she has to watch carefully. She also has Celiac Disease, which rules out pretty much all breads, grains & baked goods. Recently she discovered that she's allergic to… Continue reading Amazing Gluten Free, Dairy Free Peanut Butter Cookies
