Everyday Fare With Extraordinary Flair
These Eggnog Cookies are flavored with eggnog, laced with nutmeg, and are soft and chewy inside and crispy outside. Whip up the whole batch in just over 30 minutes for the perfect last-minute addition to your cookie tray!
I don’t know about you, but every year I’m left with half a jug or so of eggnog wondering how to use it.
Don’t get me wrong, I love the festive flavor of eggnog. There’s just something about its rich, creamy texture and sweet, nutmeg-scented flavor that says holiday time.…
Russian Tea Cakes are rich and buttery cookies with a texture similar to shortbread. They’re quick and easy to make and very festive coated in powdered sugar, which looks like snow! For the last day of my 7 Days of Festive Holiday Treats even, I wanted to share a cookie from my childhood. My mom has made Russian Tea Cakes/Snowball Cookies every Christmas for as long as I can remember. Which, oddly enough, has nothing to do with the fact that my family is Russian on my dad’s side and “Russian” is in the title of these cookies. (And I have no idea whether these […]...
Just like the name says, Gingersnap Cookies are rich with ginger and spice flavor and should be crispy enough to “snap” when they break. Sweetened with brown sugar and aromatic with warm spices, these satisfyingly crunchy Gingersnaps are a festive addition to a holiday cookie tray. Before I moved away from Buffalo, my mom, my sister, and I had a holiday tradition. A couple times a week in December we’d get together for an afternoon at one of our houses. We’d brew a pot of seasonal tea, sometime like peppermint, apple pie, or gingerbread, and munch on cookies as we chatted....
This Maple Pecan Potato Chip Cookies Recipe features a deliciously balanced salty/sweet flavor profile and is easy to make! They’re a fun addition to a festive holiday cookie tray. I think food-related gifts are the best gifts, whether it’s a celebratory meal you’re sharing or a plate of homemade treats. Or better yet, a tried and true family recipe. One of the biggest perks of being a food blogger is that when people hear what I do for a living, their eyes light up and their ears perk up, and they immediately ask me if I have a great recipe for such-and-such, or if I’ve ever […]...
These Double Chocolate Chip Cookies whip up easily and are intensely chocolatey with rich, chewy texture! They’re perfect for Valentine’s Day or anytime you want a decadent chocolate cookie. I made these cookies to support a very important cause: Good Cookies Food Bloggers’ Valentines Event organized by Julie! Cookies are always good, especially if chocolate is involved! And cookies are even better if double chocolate is involved. But when cookies support a great cause, it’s the best-case scenario....
Ma’amoul cookies (aka Maamoul) feature a sweet spiced date filling stuffed into a rich, buttery, crisp cookie that’s somewhat similar to shortbread. Different cultures have different rites of passage. Like getting a driver’s license and graduating high school....
Inspired by Little Debbie Oatmeal Creme Pies, these Oatmeal Cream Pies with Rum-Raisin Brown Sugar Buttercream Frosting give those classic cookie sandwiches a grown-up twist! Was anyone else a fan of the Little Debbie cream-filled oatmeal cookie sandwiches (aka Oatmeal Creme Pies) as a kid? They were a very rare treat for my sister and I! Mom never bought them, which made them all the more fun to eat at our friends’ houses when mom wasn’t around. (Shhh, lol.)...
These Small Batch Bakery Style Chocolate Chip Cookies are thick and chewy with rich buttery flavor, hints of caramel and vanilla, and topped with a touch of flaky sea salt for a balanced flavor profile. And they are so EASY to make! They were made with love to support a very important cause, Good Cookies Food Bloggers’ Valentines Event, organized by Julie! I’m pretty excited about today’s post, not only because of the cookies (that goes without saying), but mostly because of what these cookies are supporting. My dear friend Julie from The Little Kitchen (check out her blog because it’s absolutely beautiful!) organized an […]...
This collection of Holiday Cookies That Are Perfect for a Cookie Exchange will make sure you put together a gorgeous cookie tray! I need to ask, does anyone actually partake in a cookie exchange anymore? I absolutely love the idea, first because it’s a great way to try a whole bunch of new (or new to you) cookies. But also, cookie exchanges remind me of when I was a kid; my mom loved them! The nostalgia surrounding this idea is like the nostalgia surrounding the holiday season itself; it’s what makes it special. But even if you aren’t going to a cookie exchange, these holiday […]...
This gluten free Maple Pecan Lactation Cookies Recipe is rich in galactogogues, which are thought to contain milk supply-boosting nutrients in lactating women. They’re subtly sweet and nutty with the flavors of coconut, maple, and pecan! When a dear friend and quite possibly the kindest person you know has her first baby (a sweet little girl), you do the only thing you can when you live 12 hours away: make cookies and mail them to her!...
