Skillet cookies have more than one use around here. Not only do they satisfy any major sweet craving handily, they are also cooked in my cast iron skillet, which apparently can help with iron intake. Dark chocolate also happens to be high in iron, so this extra-chocolately jumbo cookie is really a health investment. My […]
Mom’s Recipes: Rhubarb Almond Crumble Bars
I’ve made no secret of my undying love for rhubarb, and I come by it honestly – my mom’s here today with a guest post and a fabulous recipe for rhubarb bars! She’s editing my papers and backing me up with guest posts when I seem to have slightly over-stretched myself…and her rhubarb bars won’t […]
Marshmallow Chocolate Chip Squares
I’m so happy to be back online with you all, and I hope you all like the new look as much as I do – we were going for fresh, bright, clean, and easy-to-use, and I’d love to hear your thoughts on whether we achieved that! Naturally, I decided the blog should go down right […]
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 […]
Saturday Sweets: Cookie Dough Truffle Bars
Do you ever watch Dragon’s Den or Shark Tank? I’m not really a TV watcher, but I love those shows. I tend to think most things have already been invented, and then along comes someone with a brilliant, and usually simple, invention or solution of some sort that makes me think, “Now why didn’t I […]
Saturday Sweets: Fudgy Peppermint Brownies
If only I could be that blogger who’s in style when it comes to food, I totally would have shared these with you around Christmas, when mint chocolate combinations and candy canes are allll the rage. But then I would also be the kind of blogger who makes Thanksgiving dinner and 25 side dishes and […]
Saturday Sweets: Sugar Cookie Bars
I love sugar cookies intensely. Sadly, I feel almost as intensely about my dislike of rolling out dough and cutting shapes and decorating individual cookies. I have three littles, so they’re either helping (or hindering) me, or I’m trying to get something done by myself as quickly as possible. Also, they have a thing for sprinkles […]
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, […]
