There is something of a joke in my family about cream cheese. You see, my father loves the stuff. I’ve seen him eat it on crackers, with salsa, on chips, or even plain. Whenever he tries a new recipe, inevitably, his first comment is that it does not have enough cream cheese. (Most of [...]

I’m on something of a brown butter kick at the moment. It is a really tasty kick, if I don’t mind saying. After the Chocolate Spice Cake with Brown Butter Frosting I was looking for another way to use brown butter in sweets. I decided on cookies, since they are my favorite thing to [...]

Yes, Cheddar Bacon Cookies. Now, before you ask, no this is not a sweet cookie. It is a savoury cookie perfect for appetizers for serving with a salad or soup. They are so good! These cookies are addictive. They are the perfect base for savoury spreads and toppings, but are just as delightful all on [...]

I love my stackable, non-stick cooling racks so much I decided to buy an extra set and give them away! That’s right, [...]

If given the choice of any dessert I want, I almost always pick the cookie. I adore them. During the Holidays I tend to eat and bake so many cookies that I get a little tired of them and I can’t stand to make them until Spring is fully underway. These cookies have a delicious secret hidden in them. [...]

This recipe was listed on the Guardian.co.uk as a Highlight of the Week by Dan Lepard! See the mention here! Have you ever craved something, let’s say a cookie, and could not find a recipe that looked like it would be any good? That is the predicimate I found myself in when I came up with this [...]

Christmas cookies. Two little words, but what images and memories they conjure. In my family they are tradition. I have five cookies that I make every year without fail. I have been known to add a new cookie into the mix from time to [...]

Last night I began my holiday cookie fest. I made Chocolate Chip Bars and Nigella’s Triple Chocolate Chocolate Chip Cookies. Mmmmm. I doubled the recipes for both and I now have five containers of cookies ready to eat/give/serve in the freezer. I will be doing Jam Thumbprints and Peanut Butter Cookies sometime this week, and this [...]
