Quick & Easy Breakfast Cookies

This was one of those “why not” moments I had awhile ago.  The three of us tend to have pancakes pretty regularly, but we always have leftover batter.  Before, I would end up making up the batter and/or throwing it away because no one liked cold or reheated pancakes.  Then I got the idea of […]

Sugar Cookies

Mmm…I love sugar cookie dough. I’m tempted to tweak the ingredient amounts after making the recipe I originally found. However, since I haven’t tried this recipe yet, I won’t mess with it. My thought process, if you want more than 1-2 dozen cookies, double the recipe. I tried a recipe similar to this (the only […]

Holly Clusters

Another holiday favorite. This is another one we used to make all the time during the holidays and it’s always tasty. The one thing I would caution people on is the size of the clusters. I prefer mine to be a little smaller than what we made this weekend, but they are still good. Ingredients: […]

Mom’s Soft Sugar Cookies

These are the sugar cookies that I used to make with my own mother when I was little and now I got to bake them with my own son. Ian had a blast cutting out the shapes and watching us frost them. There is one thing I did change. The nutmeg in the recipe just […]

Old-Fashioned Ginger Cookies

This recipe is one of the few that actually make a lot! For our holiday baking, we were going to do 6 batches of all the cookies we were making since they were being divided up between 4 of us. Well, we only did a triple batch of this recipe and ended up with over […]

Snickerdoodles

For these, we ended up changing the amount of cinnamon for the coating simply because I thought it was a little too powerful. I like cinnamon, but it was a little strong and it overpowered the sugar it was mixed with. I liked the idea of a more cinnamony sugar taste than straight cinnamon, but […]

No Bake Cookies

I love no bake cookies and Jesse can’t get enough of them.  There was awhile there that he had me making them every weekend and they were usually gone by the following Monday. I’m currently working on trying to get a recipe down for White Chocolate no bake cookies, but I haven’t found one that […]

Mint Oreo Fudge

I can’t believe I haven’t posted this one before. I came up with this while we were still out in Washington DC and I’m still trying to prefect it. Actually, I’m still trying to make fudge correctly. It crystallizes on me to quickly. I’ll get the hang of it eventually, but even though the fudge […]
