Mocha Chip Meringues
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.

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…

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….
