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 […]
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!
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 […]
Coconut Macaroons
It was always such a treat when we would visit Las Vegas and go to the buffets, where they have SO many desserts on display. I always headed straight for the coconut macaroons, my all-time favorites! Well, the last time we went, none of the buffets had the macaroons. I guess all of those fancy […]
Chocolate Walnut Puffs
These light, chewy and chocolaty cookies, loaded with bits of walnuts, are a tasty addition to your cookie recipe collection. I’ve been making them for over 40 years and everyone seems to enjoy them. One batch makes approximately 3 dozen cookies.
Chocolate Moon Dipped Cookies
I usually make these cookies at Christmas time because the moon shape reminds me of the the night the Lord was born and the dusting of the powdered sugar resembles the snow that was falling that night. This is a very tender cookie with a delicate hint of almond flavor, half dipped in chocolate and […]
Chocolate Crunch Cookies
When I was a little girl, in the summertime, we would have family reunions at a park. Everyone would bring a dish or two and of course, a sweet treat. My Aunt Lorraine always brought these bar cookies. She’s gone now, but her recipe lives on!
Butter Pecan Cookies
I usually bake these cookies during the Christmas holidays, but I must admit, they are delicious anytime of the year.
Buckeyes
This sweet treat is a peanut butter & crispy rice cereal cookie, rolled into a ball, and dipped in chocolate. I don’t dare show up at Christmastime without these. Whenever I ask my Godchildren what they would like for Christmas, they always respond with ” my own personal stash of Buckeyes”. They are one of […]
Brownies (Cake like)
Many folks enjoy a cake like brownie and this one was always a winner with my co-workers. It’s loaded with chocolate chips and nuts, and is covered with an easy to make chocolate icing. Or, skip the icing and simply dust the brownies with powdered sugar.
Brownies (Fudge like)
These are my hubby’s favorite brownies…very moist and fudge like. No need to wait for room temperature ingredients, so you can whip up this treat at the last minute This recipe is stirred by hand…no electric mixers.
