Homemade molasses cookies make me think of my grandmother. When I was growing up she had a talent for making thick, soft, round cookies that were incredibly lovely and all that I wanted when I saw them in a cookie jar on her kitchen table was to slather them in icing. You see, these were [...]

I’ve been conscripted into a true battle of culinary wills next week: aka the annual office cookie exchange. My boss, Karen, has made it known in no uncertain terms that my fellow co-workers and I are expected to seriously represent at this event. Hopefully the Coconut Sandwich Cookies I intend to bring wont embarrass us. [...]

One of the things I always enjoy when I visit my mother is looking for new recipes in the big stack of magazines that she subscribes to.

Inevitably when I go to the grocery store I buy both lemons and limes. They’re a staple (at least in my head) along with parsley, potatoes, and onions. Unfortunately the poor lemons seem to always get the short-end of the stick. While the limes find frequent homes in a sparkly glass of Hendricks Gin, lately [...]

As an unabashed peanut butter addict who frequently can be caught eating spoonfuls of the sweet and salty goop directly from the jar I am by default also a fan of Nutter Butter cookies. This recipe caught my eye quite some time ago and I found it yesterday while browsing through my extensive collection of [...]

After channeling my inner Mickey Rourke and physically wrestling the remains of the Oh! Nuts dried raspberries from CK’s snack happy little hands, I was finally able to put what was left of those tasty red morsels to use in my kitchen. I often make raspberry lemon muffins on the weekends, and they were on [...]

I hope you didn’t actually think you could escape the holiday season without a pink cookie from me. These pink Christmas Tree sugar cookies are decorated with my traditional butter based frosting and sprinkled with a light dusting of delicate silver icing sugar. I’m not the only person in my family with a pink problem. [...]
