It has been a little while since I made a batch of cookies, and it has also been a while since I used my beloved Golden Syrup. Quel nightmare! So, when the inevitable cookie craving struck the other day I went directly to the pantry to see what was available. I had already decided on [...]

First, HAPPY SAINT PATRICK’S DAY! Second, I need to apologize to you all. I realized this week, while making 15 dozen of these cookies that I have never shared the recipe with you. I am a bad blog friend, but I plan to make amends today! As with many of my recipes, this is a [...]

So, I am not very good when it comes to grocery lists. I often forget that I already have something and end up buying it a second time. This happened a few days ago.

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 [...]
