These scrumptious little strips of sugary heaven are completely enjoyable. And oh so fun for a party! I would SOOOOO prefer these over a bowl of Chex Mix. Know what I mean?

Oh what fun cookies these Halloween Sugar Cookies are! I just couldn’t help but make some of these for a Halloween party I’m going to, and they were gone 20 minutes after I arrived.

If you’ve been meaning to get into the kitchen and bake with the kids, here’s a great excuse!
What a fun project this is! I wish my son were old enough to give this a go. I could try, but he’d probably just pick up pieces of dough and throw them at the cat. Poor kitty. [...]

Sometimes, you just have to celebrate. I mean, life is all about those little celebrations, right? Whether it’s a birthday or a graduation, or even a wedding… celebrations are the memories we carry with us for years, and sometimes a lifetime. Celebrations can define us. Celebrations can carry us through bad times. Celebrations, even the [...]

If you’ve ever wondered what the stars are baking in their own kitchens, here’s a look into 4 of their ovens.
1) Who wouldn’t love some cookies baked by our lovely first lady, Michelle Obama. Her Shortbread Cookies are positively perfect, and I’m sure they get served at the White House on a frequent basis.
2) I [...]

I’m so excited to share this post with you! It’s amazing what people can do with a little cookie dough and a lot of imagination.
Mushroom Cookies may not sound very exciting, but what this person did with these cookies is fantastic.
I have this image in my head of some kid’s school project. Not sure [...]

I’ve done posts on cookies with this flavor combination before. But what can I say? It’s a winning combination, and definitely worthy of another post.
I have to say that these Lemon Lavender Cookies are definitely cookieliscious! (Yep, there’s that word again. Sorry. I told you, I just can’t stop saying it!)
They are a true sugar [...]

Today is my Birthday. I’m the big 3-5! Yep, middle age is arriving with full force and there ain’t a darn thing I can do about it….. except bake, of course.
Since I’m the only baker in the house, I thought I would bake up something special for my special day. So I gave these Snickerdoodle [...]

“Ohhhh, say, can you see (voice cracks a bit- definitely out of tune), by the dawn’s early light, What so proudly I hail’d at my oven’s last warming?
Whose brown sugar and bright sprinkles, thro’ the perilous Kitchen Aid…..”
Okay, okay. I’ll stop there. I’m not trying to be patriotically blasphemous here, but this is a cookie [...]

I know this is my second post on sugar cookies in a row, but these turned out so cute! I just had to post them.
I substituted the sugar for agave to cut down on the blood sugar effect, and they came out looking just like the photo (phew!)
These were a hoot to make. I let [...]

While I don’t fully understand the reference to bracelets, I do have to say that these cookies make a wonderfully “ornamental” display on any platter. The colored sugar gives these cookies a rather “bejeweled” look. Don’t you think?
I realize this photo has Christmas tree ornaments in it, but the post was written during the holidays. [...]

Summer just isn’t summer without a good BBQ, don’t you think? The smokey, tantlizing smells waft around your head like an angel gently guiding you towards the nearest grill, regardless of what’s actually on it. Yep, there’s just something about a BBQ that cries out for walks in the park to splash in and glasses of cold lemonade.
Take [...]

Ommmmm-my gosh, these are SUCH a cute idea! Can’t you just imagine sending these to somebody in a care package? Talk about a new way to send a text message! Texting may soon become a thing of the past among us die-hard bakers.
Just think of all the messages you could deliver!! 
“I love you” – “Take [...]

 These lovely little cookies are from the Netherlands, and are traditionally served at baby showers (Use pink toppings for girls, blue for boys).
The dough is meant to be a bit less sweet than a typical sugar cookie because the topping is so sweet. The blogger who’s recipe this is said it best:
“It’s a buttery, crunchy [...]

If you are looking for a fun cookie to bake and decorate, then I’ve found a really entertaining recipe for you! These Sugar Cookie Bars are a blast to make, and they make no apologies for being the sugar-filled treats that they are.
These would be perfect for a children’s party or just a fun and [...]

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 [...]

Gracious me, I do love a good Snickerdoodle. My grandmother used to bake them for me all the time when I was little.
Every time I got into Peet’s or Starbucks, it takes all my self control not to include one of their luscious Snickerdoodles with my “non-fat, mostly-dry, decaf cappuccino” order.
I was thrilled when I [...]

I realize the holiday baking frenzy is pretty much over, but if you’re like me, you’re always on the lookout for a good recipe.
I found just such a recipe for sugar cookies. They turn out just adorable, and as I’m sure you know, the decorating options on a sugar cookie are endless!
You can find the [...]

 
This was a recipe that my grandmother got when she first came here to America during the second world war.  The name says it all!
The recipe is on a faded piece of paper, typed in purple ink. It almost looks like it was copied on one of those really old copy machines they used to have [...]

Sugar cookies are great cookies. You can do so many different things with them, and no matter what you do, you are pretty much guaranteed a yummy end to your efforts. I sometimes refer to these cookies as “dump cookies”, because you can dump just about anything into them, and end up with a delicious [...]

Does Suzy sell sea shells by the sea shore?
I’m guessing if she does, they are probably cookies, not shells! I mean, you just have to have something good to nibble while you’re watching the waves, right?
Nothing says summer like a day at the beach. So if your plans are to pack a lunch and catch [...]

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 [...]
