One of my favorite cookies happens to be a meringue. We loved the taste of these cookies over the Christmas holiday this year. I used a Martha Stewart recipe and as every one of her recipes, it worked perfectly. These cookies were crispy, but soft inside the center of the cookie. The chocolate taste was…

Cherry Pistachio Shortbread cookies
Every Christmas I like to try at least one new cookie recipe, and this year I found a recipe in Yankee Magazine which was especially delicious. My cookie tray looked quite festive with the red and green colors that this cookie contains. I did chill the dough overnight and baked them the next day. Here…
Snow on the rooftops
Well, it is still winter here in Michigan. So, here is a fun way to keep the children happy on a cold snowy day. How about an updated Rice Krispies treat recipe to make and share? I named this one– snow on the rooftops, since I use butterscotch chips and peanut butter for the color…
Cinnamon Biscotti
While relaxing in front of the fireplace this cold winter, why not try a great homemade cinnamon biscotti cookie? These cookies are crisp and crunchy and are perfect to dunk in a warm mug of tea or coffee. I have made several other biscotti recipes, but this one is one of my favorites. The cinnamon…
NFL referee cookies
Well, football games are on television almost every day of the week now, so I love to serve my husband some fun treats during the season.

Chicago’s French Market
We ventured over to the West Loop of Chicago to visit Chicago’s French Market one morning a few weeks ago. The market earned a Zagat spot for markets to visit; along with the Melrose Market in Seattle, the St. Roch Market in New Orleans, and the Krog Street Market in Atlanta–so, it deserved a look…

Salted caramel “anything” seems to be super popular these past couple of years. I have seen everything from candy and drinks to cake with this flavor profile. I recently found a recipe online at the smitten kitchen for these cookies and just had to sample them. I had a good occasion to try them this…
Tom’s Mom’s cookies
Located in Harbor Springs Michigan, Tom’s Mom’s Cookies is a wonderful place to visit. We heard about this cookie shop when watching a travel Michigan television program. Having won several awards while being in business for more than 30 years, we decided to visit the shop last week. The shop was busy when we visited,…
French pressed coffee and Lofthouse cookies
Although I have never tried the Lofthouse cookies at the grocery, I seem to pass by the table of them every time I visit the store. They seem to be such a popular cookie. I happened to find the recipe for them on centercutcook.com , along with the best frosting recipe for cookies around. This…
Red velvet cookies
Do you ever have a cookie craving? Anyone I ask always seems to be able to tell me an answer to this question–what is your favorite cookie? I haven’t met anyone who says they don’t like cookies. Over the past 35 years, I have baked so many cookies I can’t even begin to list them….
shortbread cookies for every holiday
I have a few recipes that I can use throughout the year. This is one of them. It comes from Ina Garten. With this recipe I am able to use any cookie cutter and a variety of sugars or decors to make the cookies look holiday specific. The best part of this recipe is the…
classic pizzelle
One of my most favorite cookies has to be the classic pizzelle. It is sometimes called the snowflake cookie. A couple of years ago, I posted about making these cookies on the blog. Here is the link to that post: https://angelfoodgarden.wordpress.com/2012/02/03/snowflake-cookies-2/ I did not include the recipe in that post, so I thought I would…
