There’s something about a spice cookie this time of year that screams “Christmas” from the roof tops. I don’t know if it’s because of the Christmas I spent in Germany where I had tons of these while walking through the amazing Christmas fairs, or if I picked up the habit here in the states.
But either [...]

A while back, I asked people on Twitter what their favorite cookie recipe is. I got some really yummy responses!
This one in particular caught my eye. I love a soft, spicy, molasses cookie. So when @canterburycabin announced she had a recipe, I just had to try it.
The following recipe made exactly 54 large cookies. They [...]

November’s Secret Ingredient was Cranberries. Not very original, I know. But I love cranberries, so I went with it anyway.

The competitors really seemed to take to the idea. The recipes submitted this past month were incredible creations. In fact, my decision was incredibly difficult to say the least. I can only imagine that as more folks join the competition, choosing a winner will become more and more difficult. What a job I have, eh?

I gave this Spicy Mexican Chocolate Chip Cookie a try, and I’m so glad I did! They were downright yummy!

So my little guy and I were lounging around the house in our pj’s while these were baking. I started to feel a bit “lazy” as it was nearly 2pm and we weren’t even thinking about getting dressed (admit it, you’ve had days like that.)….

Rum Spice Cookies. Doesn’t the name just conjure up the warmth of the upcoming holiday season? The leaves will be turning, the apple cider will be brewing, and the oven will be exploding with fabulously, luscious aromas.
Add a little Rum Spice to the end of a long day, and you’ve got some fantastic comfort cookies! [...]

What makes a cookie German? In fact, what is it about cookies that make them any particular “nationality”?
Different countries have different methods of baking cookies.
They use spices that are most often attainable in their region.
Different cultures also have different ideas of what makes a baked delicacy.
In different countries, the soil is different as are the [...]

I must admit, I had never heard of these cookies before (gulp), until I ran across the recipe while surfing the net.
If you’ve never heard of them either, they are a Swedish Christmas cookie, and apparently, very much a Christmas tradition. Similar to a ginger bread cookie. 
If you’d like to give these spice and molasses [...]

I recently broke my tailbone.
I know, it seems irrelevant. This is a cookie blog, not a health and fitness blog. But when you’re carrying around something referred to as a “donut” for weeks and can’t do a thing without it, somehow you tend to think more about luscious, sweet fluffy and sinful concoctions that you’d [...]
