My search is over!!! After trying many different gingerbread recipes, a friend came to the rescue with this gem. She found it online a few years ago, printed it out and never got around to baking them. So, I made them and they are the best. Tender, not too spicy and easy to roll out. […]
Cookies and Bars
It’s hard to beat a warm chocolate chip cookie with a glass of cold milk, though a brownie might match it. I’ve also got the best Christmas holiday cookies as certified by my family and friends!
Giant Sugar Cookies
These tender and tasty sugar cookies are covered with a glaze, rather than sugar. They can be decorated by adding food coloring to the glaze. Even though my children are grown, they still love these big cookies.
Giant Chocolate Chip Cookies
Who wouldn’t love a GIANT chocolate chip cookie? A friend of mine has a daughter that does not like cake. When it was time for her birthday party, I suggested she bake these instead of a cake. The kids loved them. One batch makes 10 cookies.
Forget Me Not Mints
This is another one of my “Christmas Cookie Collection” recipes. This cookie is a pastel colored green cookie with mini chocolate chip morsels, and a delightful mint flavor. It is a meringue style cookie, that have a “sleep over”” in your oven. These cookies melt in your mouth!
Eggnog Snickerdoodles
This cookie recipe comes from my official “Christmas Cookie Collection”. It’s a crisp, sugar cookie rolled in sugar and nutmeg, with a hint of rum and brandy. I recommend buying those extracts before the holidays as they are hard to find once holiday baking season arrives.
Eggnog Cream Puffs
My absolute favorite Christmastime treat is a tray piled high with Eggnog Cream Puffs. These delectable little puffs are filled with an eggnog custard like filling.
Brownie Cookies
Shear ambrosia is how I would describe this cookie. Dark, rich chocolate cookies with walnuts nestled inside. Make a double batch because they are “THAT GOOD”!
Chocolate Chip Cookies
I’ve been searching for a chocolate chip cookie that is not too sweet. I’ve tried so many, and none made me happy. I was beginning to think I just didn’t like chocolate chip cookies…how unAmerican is that? Then I found this recipe on line. They claim it is the recipe for the cookies served at […]
Cream Cheese Spritz Cookies
It’s been over 50 years, and I still reminisce of my Mom making these cookies at Christmastime. She would add red food coloring to some of the batter and green to the next batch. Some she baked without color but ALL were decorated by us kids, with colored sugar or little silver candy dots. I […]
Cranberry Hootycreeks
At Christmas time, there are always friends, neighbors or family members that you would like to give a small gift to, but the funds just aren’t available. Well, last year, a dear friend found herself in that situation and here’s what she did. She bought some mason jars and filled them with ingredients to make […]
