Last week when I made the shortbread cookies for the first time, I knew that I had to make these for Easter as well. They’re a great flavor that most people love…but I wanted to do a spin on it. Most of the time, decorated cookies are sugar cookies with a cookie icing. Well…since the … Continue reading »

We were chit chatting about different dessert recipes, and she said, “I have something for you.” She walked into the kitchen and came back, holding a can of Macademia nuts from Hawaii. I stared at them in … Continue reading »
In a perfect world, no one has Celiac Disease. Or lactose intolerance. Or diabetes. Unfortunately so, this isn’t the case, and it seems as though these problems are more common now than in the past. A close friend was going through a rough time with constant stomach issues a few years ago. After running many … Continue reading »

In my family, part of the holiday traditions include making cookies. The peanut butter ritz cookies are probably the most popular in my family, by far!

What’s better than chocolate chip cookies? Well, a brownie baked inside. That’s right, a brownie baked inside. First, I made the brownies. Then, I prepared the cookie dough and set it in the fridge to harden. I used an ice cream scoop to measure the size of the cookie dough. In the original recipe, it … Continue reading »
I absolutely love chocolate chip cookies, but peanut butter chips are just as wonderful…so I decided to combine the two in order to make one heck of a delicious cookie.

I was pretty disappointed when I ran out, and fussed at my husband if … Continue reading »
The word “favorite” doesn’t even do justice for these cookies. Whenever I make a batch of these, they disappear faster than anything else I’ve ever made.
