This is a traditional cookie that I have been making for many years. Snickerdoodles are simple to make and are great for the little ones to help. I plan to make these with my daughter; she’ll have fun rolling them in cinnamon-sugar. These cookies were a little harder than I prefer…I like them when they’re… Continue reading Snickerdoodles

I had a lot of miscellanous baking supplies around from my little biscotti baking business and needed to use them before… Continue reading Coconut White Chocolate Pecan Cookies

I won a quart of fresh Georgia pecans in an auction on my mom's board and have been looking around for recipes using pecans. I love Keebler's Pecan Sandies and these were even better - a little more crispy and packed full of pecans!1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature1/2 cup packed light-brown sugar1… Continue reading Pecan Sandies

I was looking for a simple recipe for Easter and saw this recipe from Brown Eyed Baker's blog. It was very easy to make and the perfect amount of lemon.
