An oldie but goodie sugar cookie recipe from my Aunt Gloria who was a cook by profession and an amazing baker! No other sugar cookie recipe comes close this one! And I haven’t seen this exact one published anywhere at all. I don’t know where she got it. Depending on your cookie size, you could get 26-30 cookies that average about 2-1/2 to 3 inches. If…
Potato Chip Cookies, specifically PAULA DEEN’S, are so-oo good, so buttery! I’ve tried a few recipes for this and hers is my favorite. They are SUPER-FAST to make! Mix the dough in UNDER 5 MINUTES! So few ingredients! You probably have them in your kitchen already. These are a BIG hit! I can’t get over how much people really, really love them! Hard to go…
Pumpkin Pizzelles for the pumpkin fanatics! These have a mild pumpkin and spice taste, nothing overwhelming, but they’re very good and sure to be appreciated by everyone… not just pumpkin lovers! They are a nice addition to your fall baking. You do need a pizzelle maker to make these. I have two pizzelle makers. One is a VillaWare, non-teflon, which makes pizzelles how I like…
CRISPY OUTSIDES, CHEWY INSIDES…. success! I finally mastered the pumpkin cookie the way I wanted them to be! Most pumpkin cookie recipes I’ve tried are delicious, but their texture was soft and cake-like. Some people like them like that. Me, I am more for crispy on the outside, chewy on the inside. The pumpkin puree has a lot of water in it so it tends…
My husband Bill really loves maple and these cookies are on the top of his “The Cookie Jar’s Empty and I’m Dying list.“ My 7th grade cooking class haunts me when I make any refrigerator cookie, also called a slice and bake cookie. Read on and I will tell you why! Mrs. Speakman, bless her soul, was my excellent home economics teacher in 7th grade….
My mother never let pie dough go to waste! She made these cinnamon rollups with left over pie dough whenever she made a pie, and we would fight for them as kids! I do the same when I make pie crusts. But sometimes I make these an easy way with Refrigerated Pie Dough Rolls. There are no measurements so this is an “ABOUT” recipe. I’ve…
If you love butter cookies like I do, try this very buttery one with jam in the middle! It is an easy recipe with very few ingredients! For the chocoholics I know I add some drizzled chocolate on top. Use whatever preserves or jam you like! I made the ones pictured a little bigger. I used a cookie scoop and that will make 20 cookies,…
“A delicious cookie to add to your recipe box that has been around for decades if you don’t already have it. This version of the classic finger cookies is similar to the Butterball Cookie or the Mexican Wedding Cookie, but the cream cheese make it more rich and gives it a nice velvety, smooth texture. Enjoy!” INGREDIENTS: 1 cup butter, softened 8 ounces cream cheese,…
I like to try recipes from the White House chefs and favorite recipes of presidents and first ladies. They are usually great recipes! In honor of First Lady Barbara Bush, I tried this White House recipe at the time of her passing in April, 2018, and I am very glad I did! They are really delicious! They are very buttery, crispy on the outside and…
Baking with the Kiddies for some Easter/Springtime fun in the kitchen! You need some sugar cookies! Make your own, or use a box mix or dairy case sugar cookie dough or just buy some sugar cookies! It’s up to you! Then frost them with white or chocolate frosting. Sprinkle some tinted coconut for the nests and put jellybeans on top for the eggs! That’s…
NO-BAKE, buttery date ball cookies are SO delicious! There are lots of dates and walnuts in them and Rice Krispies in a butter mixture that hold it together. They are so easy to make right on top of the stove! This vintage recipe goes back decades and it is fantastic recipe! I got it from my mother who got it from my Aunt Mary…
“Fun Emoji cookies make everyone crack a smile! Emoji Cookie Cutters are from Pampered Chef. All ages think these are so funny! I made gingerbread cookies for the fall, but you can make sugar cookies and paint the faces with frosting pens. This recipe is from Pampered Chef and it’s easy with a refrigerated sugar cookie dough as the base. I changed their directions to…
“I finally got around to trying Nutella-filled chocolate chip cookies and they are as good as everyone says they are and something different to try. This one I tried I adapted from Cook’n’Share. The inside of the cookie has a soft chocolate center from the Nutella so you have to be careful not to overbake them. Nutella is ground hazelnuts and chocolate so beware those…
“CAUTION: For Serious Chocolate Lovers only, the chocoholics of the world, like my husband, Bill! There is some very serious, luscious chocolate going on in this little cookie! These are a cross between a truffle candy and a cookie. It is a cookie but there is very little flour in the recipe. The surface is like a cookie but…
“An old-fashioned cookie that I used to make a lot and then forgot about for a while. I recently resurrected my old recipe, did some baking of newer versions and decided no, the old one tastes the best! This recipe happens to be the same one Stephanie Jaworski uses on her Joy of Baking website. Sometimes the old recipes just can’t be beat! Be sure…
