These lemon crinkle cookies are SO GOOD! Chewy inside and crispy around the edge, this recipe is a keeper!
Chocolate Dipped Butter Cookies and a Giveaway!
Crisp and delicate butter cookies dipped in dark chocolate and covered with toasted almonds (or sprinkles)
Classic Lemon Madeleines
Classic Lemon Madeleines are the soft and delicate cookie of your dreams. A guaranteed cookie jar favorite (if they even make it into it!)
Pecan Sandies
Pecan sandies are some of my favorite cookies: full of toasty pecan pieces with a crisp edge and slightly chewy center, they just melt in your mouth. Biting into one of these is like biting into my childhood. My great-grandmother Melinda (Nan to all of us), always had a bag of these cookies in her…
Toffee Cookies
Thick and chewy vanilla cookies loaded with tiny bites of salted toffee and roasted almonds. Just like the ones Panera Bread used to sell , and Mrs. Fields makes (without the roasted nuts).
Light and Crispy Cereal Drop Cookies
When I was in college I took a psych course that I absolutely loved. Mostly because the teacher was one of the nicest, sweetest ladies I’d ever met (Hi Mrs. Anderson!). On one of the last days of class she baked cookies for us and brought them in. I loved them, asked for the recipe,…
Almond Shortbread with Cherry Filling
The holidays are officially in full swing now. This means that from today, through to January 1, my home is consistently full of the sweet, sweet smells of baking (you’re allowed to be jealous, but also understand that this means I need to get my gym routine back up). One of my favourite cookies to make…
Thin and Crispy Chocolate Chip Cookies
I wanted to do this yesterday, because what better way to get over the middle of the week “ughs” than chocolate chip cookies, but I got wrapped up in painting and sparkles, as it goes. So, how about a little Thursday “WOO HOO! Tomorrow is Friday! OMG best ever super thin, extra crisp, chocolate chip…
salted toffee squares
If you’ve ever tried those almond roca candies, you’ll know where I’m going with this. The candies have a hard almond toffee center, are covered in milk chocolate, and then rolled in toasted almonds. They’re basically a perfect bite of awesome. A few years ago I found a recipe for squares in a Martha Stewart magazine that had…
Oatmeal Banana Bread Snacking Cookies
So, we’re one week in to summer vacation, and I’m already running out of snack ideas (how is this possible). My kids are grazers. They typically like to eat a small little breakfast and lunch, and graze in between those meals and dinner. I try my best to have healthy (ish at least) snacks, and…
Easy Whipped Shortbread Cookies
Ok, I’m going to try to stay on top of things this year and actually post my Christmas cookie recipes as I make them. These are a family favourite recipe. My Nana has made them my whole life, and they are one of a chosen few cookies that it just wouldn’t be Christmas without. The…
Salted Caramel Macaroons
I’m not sure what to say, other than this: I hope that the last thing I ever taste is a salted caramel macaroon. These are, hands down, my absolute favourite thing to eat. The are the perfect blend of sweet and salty, the filling is the creamiest buttercream you’re going to find, and the meringues…
Thanksgiving Favorites
Thanksgiving is just around the corner, and I’m gearing up to get started of the things we want for the weekend. Yes, it is Friday morning, and our first Thanksgiving dinner is tomorrow, but I was never one to let a little thing like immanency stop me from procrastinating. So, instead of actually staring on…
Double Chocolate Toffee Cookies
Yesterday Anna and I promised Oliver some homemade cookies to greet him from his first day of senior kindergarten. I wanted to try something new, and after a very quick look around pinterest I found these cookies from Julia’s Album that she had originally adapted from a Martha Stewart recipe. Not being able to leave anything…
Oliver’s Favourite Snickerdoodles
Oliver was having a rough couple of days last week. I’m guessing it was a combination of boredom, lack of sleep, and annoyance from his sisters and I (we can do that some times). I decided it was time to break out his favourite cookie recipe to but that smile I love back on his…
Easy Lemon Sugar Cookies
A new blog post, and only 11 days after Sophie joined the family. This is proof that I’m running on the fumes of a crazy sleepless person. I have a helper for these ones, yesterday Anna wanted to make some cookies for Oliver’s after school snack. I think she probably just plain wanted to make…
