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 [...]

“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. [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

At this very moment, I’m sitting in my in-law’s kitchen listening to the sounds of a 5 year old battling the fiercest battle in the history of the world. He brandishes his sword against the enemy (my Fiance), defeating him and saving the damsel in distress, who happens to be me, from his dark and [...]

 
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 [...]
