A long title because you need to know two things: lots of chocolate, plus chips of salted caramel. Gemma informed me on a recent Thursday that the following day was a bake sale at school, for which her class was responsible for the baking. To be fair, the school probably did notify me on Monday, […]
Vanilla Chocolate Chip Sugar Cookies
I have a major weakness for big, fluffy, vanilla chocolate chip muffins, available at many bakeries and grocery stores to tempt me, basically cupcakes without the icing. The other day, all I wanted was a cookie that tasted like those muffins. I took into account my love for soft and chewy funfetti sugar cookies and […]
Chewy Pumpkin S’mores Cookies
I was going to go easy on the pumpkin this year, I really was. But you know how pumpkin is, right? You use some and there’s some left, so you find another recipe you simply must make, but that needs 1/4 cup more pumpkin than what you had left over, so you open some more pumpkin…the cycle […]
PB & J Thumbprint Cookies
Who doesn’t love good ol’ pb & j sandwich?Oh wait, um, ME. But like most things, once you put it into cookie form just TRY to keep me away. Yup, you can’t. Juuuuust hand ’em over.These are an adaptation born of 4 jars of jam passed on to me by my mother-in-law after she had […]
Orange Creamsicle Cookies
If you don’t like orange creamsicles, don’t go yet! If you DO like orange creamsicles, definitely don’t go yet. I’m not the biggest fan myself, but like just about anything in life, orange creamsicles taste better as a cookie. Especially a stay-soft, gooey-chewy perfect little orange and white chocolate cookie.These lemon white chocolate sugar cookies are one of […]
Saturday Sweets: Golden Coconut Macaroons
I only just shared a fabulous coconut macaroon recipe with you, so you might be a little surprised to see another coconut cookie so close on its heels. Well, I love those first macaroons intensely, but they do take some time, and they’re big, intense, special occasion dessert cookies. These little beauties, on the other […]
Saturday Sweets: Dipped Coconut Macaroons
It’s a beee-yoo-tiful sunny cold day here in Ontario, the first draft of my impending paper is printed off for editing, and we’re off to visit my littlest sister and some butterflies, so it promises to be a great day! We won’t talk about the fact that Carl leaves on Monday, putting an end to […]
My Favourite Chocolate Chip Cookie
If you follow me on Facebook (you should – I would love to hit 1000 fans by Christmas!), you already know I got my wisdom teeth out on Wednesday. I was only wise enough to grow three, thankfully, so this was no 4-wisdom-teeth-story: The missing wisdom tooth was one of the pesky bottom ones, so […]
Saturday Sweets: Jumbo Chewy M+M Cookies
Well, it happened. My sweet little 5-year-old headed off to Kindergarten this week, and, despite my last minute plans to dredge up some tears, it was a happy morning all around. I’m not much of a crier on any occasion, and it was especially impossible for me to be sad in the face of that […]

Saturday Sweets: Good Grains Fruit & Oat Cookies
I’m feeling a huge sense of relief today. Yesterday I handed in a 13-page paper and officially finished my last assignment besides a final exam for my Political Psychology course. It’s funny given how much I love school how relieved I always am at the end of a semester. Suddenly my evenings are looking so […]
