Oh la la! These Jelly Donut Madelines are tre chic!

Seriously, they’re like little mini sponge cakes with a delicious raspberry center.

I have to tell you, I fell in love with these cookies. Honestly, I haven’t baked them. I know, I know. How can I recommend a cookie when I haven’t baked it and tried it myself. But when I came across this web site, I just couldn’t resist blogging about it. Never mind what the [...]

If you like to sample your cookie dough while you are baking, then these are the Cookie Pops for you. Under all that decadent chocolate is cookie dough!
Don’t worry, there’s no egg in them.
These innovative bakers/bloggers came up with the idea, and now they offer two flavors; Chocolate Chip Cookie Pops, and S’mores Cookie Pops recipes.
What [...]

As a stay at home mom, sometimes, life can get a little lonesome. My husband works long hours, and I stay with my son, who is only 1 and a 1/2 years old. Needless to say, I often entertain the idea of cheating….. on my diet. (~eh hem! What did you think I was talking [...]

Tuile cookies (pronounced “tweel”) are a very unique cookie. You can shape the dough into just about any shape you wish while it is warm, and as it cools, it will hold that shape.
It’s a very thin dough, and does take quite a bit of work. But the outcome is wonderful! You can roll the [...]

Well, as I predicted, these cookies are a tad bit more involved than most of us can handle. Now, I’m a pretty hardcore baker. I love to bake things that are way over my head, even if I’m just going to fail. Eventually, I get the gist of what needs to be done and I [...]

Refrigerator cookies are great because they are relatively low fuss.
Most of these types of doughs are intended to use with cookie cutters. But who says you have to do that?
Plus, you can make the dough ahead of time, and slice off a few to bake fresh as you need them. They’re great to have on [...]

Here is a list of drop cookie recipes I think you might enjoy.
How do you use the spoons when making drop cookies? You need two [...]

Thumbprint Cookies are great. You can fill these little goodies with just about anything that will bake in an oven.
I first learned to bake these when I lived in Germany. We sweetened them only with honey and the jam they were filled with. They were served at Christmas when company came to visit. Let’s just [...]

Filled cookies have many names, depending on where you are in the world. But the most common name I’ve come across is “Thumb print cookies”. Why? Because, after you roll the dough into a walnut size ball for baking, you push a dent into the middle with your thumb, so you can fill it with [...]

Spritz Cookies, also known as “Pressed Cookies” are fun to make. But to make them, you need tools. A Cookie Press for starters.
Along with the cookie press, you get several different kinds of disk inserts with different “cut outs” to push the dough through. These will create the pretty shape of your cookies, and usually come [...]

Rolled cookies are always the cookies that I wanted to make most when I was little. However, they were also the cookies I had the least amount of patience for. The dough ended up in the freezer more times than I can count, because the dough just wasn’t getting cold fast enough for my little [...]
