I wasn’t a very helpful baker when I lived at home. That’s probably putting it mildly – I chose cleaning the bathrooms over baking every week, and actually, I’d still probably rather clean than cook or bake. But hey, lucky me, now I’m an adult I get to do both. Thankfully, my kids are getting […]
Perfectly Plain Peanut Butter Cookies
No flour, no butter, no mixer. Lots of peanut butter and some chocolate. Sometimes you see a recipe and just have to drop everything and make it immediately. These 5-ingredient peanut butter cookies are one of those recipes. So today, in anticipation of you also needing to drop everything to make these, I will save […]
Triple Chocolate Cookies
Two days ago, we walked home from bringing Gemma to the bus stop, opened the garage door to go in, and a large, glossy red chicken walked out. This was surprising, considering we don’t own chickens. The boys, needless to say, were thrilled, especially since the confident hen noisily clucked back at their every […]
Funfetti Sugar Cookies
Last weekend we went out for nachos and dessert because, well, healthy, and something shocking happened. I couldn’t finish everything, Didn’t even want to finish everything. Couldn’t have eaten more if I tried. I’ve officially transitioned Gavin onto bottles and, with the loss of breastfeeding, I get full again. I literally haven’t felt really, truly full for the […]
Saturday Sweets: Gingerbread Drop Cookies
Know what I love? Gingerbread cookies. Know what I don’t love? Rolling out dough, using cookie cutters, and decorating cookies. What’s a girl to do? Enter these: These gingerbread drop cookies are the perfect answer. I have a gingersnap recipe I love, but they aren’t quite exactly like gingerbread. These cookies are more gingerbread-man-like: thicker, […]
Pomegranate Bliss Cookies
Cranberry Bliss Bars are everywhere this time of year, and I tried my first ever actual Starbucks Cranberry Bliss Bar a couple weeks ago. It was blissful. Last year I made Cranberry Bliss Cookies and Chocolate Cranberry Bliss Cookies, and both were a big hit and I’ve made them many times since. This is a […]
Saturday Sweets: Double Chocolate Zucchini Cookies
There is a lady at my church who knows exactly how to beat cancer. She is dealing with her second round of cancer right now and, humanly speaking, it is a miracle she is still alive. While I don’t know her well, I feel honoured to know her at all, and hope if I ever […]
Happy Cookies
Who doesn’t want to eat happiness? I know I do. You may know these as peanut butter blossoms, kiss cookies, or any other number of names – they’re a popular cookie with many variations, including my mini egg ones for Easter. Growing up, one of my sisters dubbed these “happy cookies”, and the name stuck. In […]
Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies
Can you believe it? Yet another peanut butter cookie recipe! You may recall my warning about the 2 kg tub of peanut butter needing to be used – sometimes I hyperbolize, but this wasn’t one of those times. My mom has been making these peanut butter cookies for as long as I can remember. They never fail […]
Caramel Chocolate Chipper Cookies
So named because they will make you chipper. Do people still use that word? Chipper? At least, do they use it to describe moods, or just in reference to a wood chipper? Sometimes I feel “chipper” is just the perfect word for the mood du jour. Either way – more cookies! If you’re like me, […]
The Best Chewy Gingersnaps
These are simply the best gingersnaps, because they’re classic, packed with flavour, and soft and chewy, but they don’t have cloves or nutmeg. Just ginger and cinnamon, two of the best spices known to cookies. If you like cloves and/or nutmeg, they can easily be added to this recipe (1/2 – 1 tsp of each) […]
