Florentines Recipe

November 28, 2021 by Faith 39 Comments

This recipe for Florentines yields delicately lacy, crisp cookies with a nutty caramel flavor and a hint of vanilla. A little dark chocolate is the perfect finishing touch. And if you’ve tried to make these cookies and had problems, I am going to show you exactly how to fix them!

The first time I had these cookies was last Christmas when my husband ordered them from an online bakery after one of his friends said we had to try them.

They might not look like anything spectacular, but I’m telling you, these cookies are addictive!…

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 (aka Snowball Cookies)

December 16, 2020 by Faith 138 Comments

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 […]...

Gingersnap Cookies Recipe (aka Gingersnaps)

December 10, 2020 by Faith Leave a Comment

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 perfect for any time of year, and are 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 […]...

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....

October 7, 2019 by Faith 32 Comments

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.)...

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!
