Peanut butter, chocolate and truffle… oh my! Doesn’t that sound like a heavenly combination? If you agree, then listen up! Cause these rich, chocolaty, truffle-y cookies will get you up off that chair, away from the computer and into your kitchen mixing together some dough like nothing you’ve ever seen before.

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 [...]

I’m a “nuts and seed” kinda gal. I love to add seeds to just about anything I cook. So why not include it in my baking?!
I ran across this recipe last week, and realized I had a bag of sesame seeds in my cupboard that had been there almost too long. So I whipped up [...]

I ran across this wonderful recipe by total accident. It’s for Brazil Nut Truffle Cookies. Don’t they look wonderful? And guess what? Their Vegan to boot!
And just when you thought it couldn’t get any better…. you don’t even have to bake these puppies! You just roll em’ up, and put them on a platter to [...]

I tried Pignoli cookies for the first time a couple of years ago at a family birthday party, and was hooked before I finished my first bite. My aunt made a large platter of them, and it was all I could do to walk away before I dumped the whole platter into my purse and [...]

Tahini Orange Cookies are just as yummy as they look in the photo. The blogger gives you the option of using either orange or lemon flavor for the cookies.

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 admit that this week’s featured recipe book is not solely about cookies. But I like a multi-purpose recipe book anyway.
If you are Vegan, this is the “goodie book” for you! Vegan cookies, cupcakes, pies and cakes galore.
The Joy of Vegan Baking: The Compassionate Cooks’ Traditional Treats and Sinful Sweets is a fantastic book! The gingerbread [...]

I’m not vegan, but I have dabbled in vegetarianism quite a bit. One of the challenges I found was finding sweets I could have, especially cookies! (There are so many cookies that have eggs in them!) So I’m sensitive to the vegan plight. Sometimes, it ain’t easy bein’ veggie!
So I did a little research and [...]
