Switched gears on ya big time, didn’t I? I think I’ve given you enough sweets to keep you busy baking in the kitchen for a bit! Now, I’m getting back around to the rest of the yummy eats we had at our Thanksgiving table.…
Are you cookied out yet? Have I put you in a sugar coma? I hope you’ve got room for one more! These Apricot Sour Cream Tea Cookies are the last of the 2010 baking day extravaganza, and they happen to be my favorite one…
My mom and I have been baking these Cream Cheese Spritz Cookies for many years. They always make it on the cookie list, even though I’m a big fan of trying new varieties. There’s just something about these cookies that I love. I think…
Say hello to the only gingerbread cookie I’ll be eating from now on. These Chewy Chocolate Gingerbread Cookies are amazing. I immediately put them on my list to bake just so I could taste the combination of chocolate and gingerbread together. We’ve made some…
