I’m going out on a limb here. I sorely need a new camera. So instead of trying to capture this event with my current camera, I thought I’d try filming it and taking the photos off my flip camera. The photos are not what I usually post here, but I thought they were cute enough to [...]

If you’ve ever wondered about what sugar does in your cookies, or what kind of substitutes you can use for it, then this is a must read.
What Sugar Does
When it comes to cookies, sugar is not only a sweetener, but also a tenderizer. It caramelizes as it melts, altering the texture of your cookies. The [...]

Many of you that come to my blog, do so for cookie recipes that use natural sugars such as honey, rice syrup or agave. If you’ve baked with these natural sugars in the past, you know that the unique attributes they provide are unsurpassed in quality, texture and flavor.
I started to bake with natural sweeteners [...]

Here’s what you need to know about substituting natural sugars for regular sugar when baking cookies.
1 – Honey is a good substitute for granulated sugar on a one-to-one ratio by weight. However, you have to reduce other liquids in cookie recipes by 1/4 cup for each cup of honey used.
2 – When using Maple syrup, [...]

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
I’ve featured Claudia’s recipes a lot in the past. I used to own an Ayurvedic bath and body product company. And since her blog is all about Ayurvedic food, it was a great match.
So when she sent me this new recipe for cookies, I just couldn’t resist asking her if I could feature her recipe [...]

I found an unusually “corny” recipe (okay, bad joke) that actually sounds pretty yummy. It uses corn flakes!
I haven’t had a chance to try it yet, but thought I would pass it along.
The recipe is for Butter Crunch Cookies. Doesn’t that sound good? Any cookie with butter in the title is usually a winner with [...]

While I was pregnant, I found out I had gestational diabetes. It was miserable. I was pregnant, nauseous, hungry, and fighting a myriad of different pregnancy cravings, all while having to follow a diabetic diet.
But it did force me to do a bit of research. And since my chances of developing diabetes dramatically increased after [...]

So I thought I would start the week of eggless cookie recipes with a basic sugar cookie recipe.
I like sugar cookies for many, many reasons. But the main reason, is that you can add just about any flavor to the dough to create hundreds of different cookies. It’s such a basic dough, that the sky [...]

I have so many readers who come to my blog looking for cookie recipes that don’t include eggs. So I thought I would take a look at some books that have these kinds of recipes. I don’t actually own this one ~ gulp! ~ but I did check it out at the library so I [...]

So this recipe uses Splenda. I’m not a really big Splenda fan, but I know a lot of you are. So here it is.
Sugar-Free and Gluten-Free Cookies with Almond and Flaxseed Meal
If you really don’t want to use the Splenda, you could experiment with crystallized honey (You may have to order it on line. [...]

For those of you out there who can’t have eggs, here are a few recipes I found for eggless cookies. I just found out my cousin can’t have eggs either. So I’ll be using these recipes myself shortly.
Eggless Short Bread
Eggless Chocolate Chip Cookies
Eggless Pumpkin Cookies
Eggless Peanut Butter Oatmeal (no bake) cookies
Happy Baking!

I have to admit, these are pretty darn good. They are made with Rum and Maple syrup. What a combination!
I don’t like to melt my chocolate in the microwave as the recipe suggests, because I find that it burns to easily and has a funny “flavor” to it when it’s done. So I melted mine [...]

I’m not a peanut butter fan at all. I like it by itself, but I don’t like adding it to anything I bake.
I tried these cookies for my husband though, and he loved them! He begged me to make more of them after finishing them all off in one sitting. So I’m gonna take a [...]

Usually, I get into the mood for pumpkin cookies around the holidays. So I wasn’t to eager to try this recipe now that the holidays are well behind us. (Or are they just around the corner again? They come so fast, I just can’t keep up!)
But these Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies peaked my interest, so [...]

Okay. So I couldn’t resist just one more Agave recipe. Sorry folks. I’ll move on to other types tomorrow. Promise! I’m just so in love with Agave right now, I can’t see straight! Hehe! Plus, this recipe does have a some brown sugar in it, so we’ll just consider it a “transition” recipe back to [...]

Well, I wouldn’t be a decent human being if I didn’t give an eggless recipe for chocolate chip cookies.
After all, they are the cookies baked most often in American homes. An estimated 50% !
These cookies are made with oatmeal, but it’s really a chocolate chip cookie. The oats just add a nice full flavor without [...]
