I grew up eating chocolate macaroons, and until last month had never tried a regular macaroon. I tried one in San Francisco and WOW, it was fantastic! I do love coconut after all! So for a quick and easy dessert to take to Thanksgiving dinner at my aunt’s, I decided to whip up a batch. [...]

I absolutely love this sugar cookie recipe, made it for the first time last Christmas and it’s a keeper. However I’ve been having trouble finding a frosting recipe that
1) contains no shortening or margarine or corn syrup, ingredients I hate using.
2) dries well enough that you can stack the cookies after they are frosted
and
3) tastes [...]

Last year the sugar cookies I made turned out wonderfully, but when I used the recipe again at Halloween this year the cookies and the frosting didn’t turn out well at all, probably due to human error. I decided to try new recipes this year since there are so many out there and I’d been [...]

Last year I made a batch of chocolate macaroons but didn’t use my mom’s recipe, just one I found online that I thought looked the same. They weren’t the same and I really didn’t like the melted chocolate. Cocoa is just way better in this recipe in my opinion! So this year I used my [...]

I’ve had this recipe bookmarked for quite some time now and they did not disappoint! I forgot to squish the first batch with a fork so they came out dense and not so good, but I remembered from then on out and the rest were perfect!
The Best Peanut Butter Cookies (as seen on Baking Blonde’s [...]

I’ve been in the mood to make cookies recently and even though I have several partial bags of chocolate chips and nuts begging to be plucked from their shelf in the pantry, I opted for a simpler recipe that I knew Tyler would go nutso over. I’ve never really seen the appeal in a cookie [...]

I saw this recipe on Cooking Light’s website the other day and decided to whip up a batch for my book club tonight. We read Eat, Pray, Love which got me craving some good Italian food and a yearlong trip around the world, but since I can’t really have either right now, these butterscotch [...]

Funfetti cake is my favorite. It just screams HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Sadly I only get it about once a year, unless somebody close to me requests Funfetti for their own birthday. Even though my birthday is still 2 months away I was craving some colorful Funfetti goodness and remembered that the mix could easily be [...]

While I was browsing my google reader this morning I saw these cookies and starred the recipe so I could make them at a later time. Well that later time ended up coming tonight! And wow they are just as good as I imagined they would be, actually better! I had some pecans in the [...]
