Decadent Chocolate Dipped Shortbread Cookies with Liberté Mediterranee Coconut
Whenever anyone hears what I do for a living — particular the recipe development aspect of it — I am hit with the same reaction: “Well, if you ever need anyone to taste test …” And inevitably, I laugh and say “maybe!” It would be fun to always be sharing something delicious and new, but [...]
Sunflower Sesame Sugar Cookies
“Why do I smell cookies?” Paige asked as she came inside today. She and Will had been playing outside, but weren’t happy to see that the warm temperatures had brought back the bees and other little pests. “You don’t,” I replied. “No, but I do … ” she persisted, looking around the kitchen. She really [...]
Double Chocolate Heart Sandwich Cookies
My husband called me from the craft store last night, patiently describing every heart-shaped doily he could find and seeking out the construction paper display to find just the right hue. Valentine’s Day is coming and a certain little girl has decided she will be making her own Valentine’s this year. That’s 17 handmade Valentine’s [...]
Chocolate Peanut Butter Holiday Cookie Pops
The kids have been excitedly preparing for their special holiday concert. Every night, Will has closed the door to his room and practiced the songs he’d be singing with his class. It was so sweet — especially when he worried this morning that he didn’t practice enough (don’t worry — he did). But here’s the [...]
Toffee Crunch Cookies
“After you,” the older man said as we reached the coffee urn, our paper cups in hand and ready to be filled. I thanked him and filled mine with the dark, hot liquid. Adding sugar and milk, we chatted. Sure, I had gulped down a coffee before church, but another is always welcome. So is [...]
Chocolate Peppermint Bark Cookies
I have two words for you: Christmas. Cookies. (I am ridiculously thrilled to start Christmas cookie season. What? That’s not a season? Come on!) The other night I was talking to Cate online and confessed that while I was excited for Thanksgiving, I was more really super excited for the day after Thanksgiving — and [...]
Multigrain Dark Chocolate Chip Cookies
“Cookies? For dessert?!?” “Ooh! They have chocolate!” We don’t have dessert that often. Though I have a huge sweet tooth, I like dessert to be a happy surprise for special days or just because. So when I whipped up cookies while making dinner this weekend, the kids were thrilled. And I was thrilled because they [...]
Marianne’s Butterscotch Chocolate Bars
This story goes something like this: Girl accepts dinner invitation. Girl makes last minute decision to whip up a double batch of her cousin’s Butterscotch Brownies to take to dinner, thinking there will be plenty leftover. Girl takes the whole tray to dinner and returns home with about 1/3 of the bars left. Then the [...]
Peanut Butter Cup Whole Wheat Cookies
We eat a lot of fruits and vegetables here. Each week, our grocery cart is loaded with berries, bananas, peppers and so much more. And we eat it all. Bunches of asparagus are devoured at dinner. Bowls of berries are eaten nearly every morning. And sometimes, all I want is some roasted Brussels sprouts or [...]
Triple Chocolate Chunk Cookie Bars
Recently, I was digging through old posts when it occurred to me that I used to do a lot more baking. I can’t put my finger on why I stopped baking so much. Maybe it’s because the kids got a little older. Maybe it’s because I need to devote more time to work. Maybe it’s [...]
