Many of you probably remember the travails we have experienced with our middle dog, Finnegan. The one who stole my naan. The one who gets in the garbage. The one who ate half a bundt cake in 15 seconds flat. Yeah that one. Well we put him on Prozac and my sugar cookies have been…
The Theme Of The Moment: Stress & Peppermint
It suddenly feels like finding a spare moment to do anything, much less post to this blog, is not to be had. Certainly not take pictures in daylight, as these photos can attest. In light of that, this will be short, but sweet. Very sweet, rich, chocolatey and full of minty goodness. Smooth and slightly…
Mini Chip Peppermint Crisps, OH MY
These are my first huge discovery of the Christmas cookie baking season. Every year I make an effort to try some new recipes, create some new traditions. Some of the really successful cookies of past Christmases (that are not family recipes) include Gale Gand’s Hungarian Shortbread, Carole Walter’s Scottish Shortbread, and a recipe found on…
Finding My Christmas Zen: Holiday Cottage Cheese Sugar Cookies
Cottage Cheese Cookies are an excellent canvas for holiday themed sanding sugar, and the tang from the cheese makes them a little more interesting than your average sugar cookie. Affiliate links were used in this post. I “got zen” as we say in my family several months back about this whole house building process. When…
Sweet & Salty Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies
Happy Thanksgiving (a bit belated)! I know, it is 2 days after Thanksgiving and all I’ve got is cookies. But here is the deal. A. I don’t actually care for traditional Thanksgiving food, and since everyone else wants it I rarely cook it. B. My life is totally chaotic right now so I was super…
Can You Have Too Many Variations On Desserts That You Love?: Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies
It is probably obvious by now this blog will never be a repository for the “best” recipes for any particular dish. I am sure it would be nice if I sat and tested my way through endless variations and then presented you with my findings, but honestly I think I might go crazy. With apologies…
Buttercrunch Lemon Cheese Bars
Before I get to the actual post, we stopped out at the property tonight. You can see the first floor rooms clearly now, except the kitchen which kind of morphs into the family room as one big great room. Anyway, about those bars… I don’t know if it is malaise brought on by the economic…
Apple Pie Bars
This has been the year of the bar cookie. Those of you who follow my blog might be shocked to learn that except for chocolate chip cookies baked as blondies and brownies, I had never made a bar cookie before this year. For a person who prefers chewy, thick cookies, I am beginning to realize…
Rolling Out Harvest Sunflower Cookies
I mentioned a while back how much I hate rolling dough out. It is the bane of my existence. So when I knew I was going home to Columbus, I decided to ask my mom if she would make roll out cookies with me, so I could see what I am doing wrong and what…
