Mini-Egg Cookies The Perfect Treat For Easter
I do tend to make these cookies every Easter just so I can have that special treat. This year I made them ahead of time and put some in the freezer so that they will last longer, or that is the plan, I will let you know if that plan works. These cookies are my weakness. Every time I make them I tend to eat the most of them. I also hide them so Kevin doesn’t find them just so I can eat more of them. This doesn’t happen very often with the baking I do, thankfully, but for some reason these cookies I can’t seem to control myself. Easter…

Lime Meltaway Cookies Have Me Dreaming of Spring
This week the temperatures here have been wonderful. We went from -31 C to 2 C which felt like we could be outside working on our tans. The warmer temperatures felt so nice, and I’m sure they will only be here for a short time, seeing as we are only in February. When I was on my citrus kick a few weeks ago I came across these Lime Meltaway Cookies, which are essentially lime shortbread cookies, and I knew I had to try them out. These cookies have such a great citrus taste from the fresh lime juice and zest in the cookie as well as the icing. These would…

Valentine’s Day Sugar Cookies For The One You Love
It’s that time of year again where it is all about love. It doesn’t need to be someone you’re in a relationship with, it can be your best friend, co-worker, or yourself. Every year at this time I make these sugar cookies for Kevin. They are unbelievably easy to make and they are so delicious that most times I don’t even get the icing on them before he starts eating them. This year I took an order to make a bunch of these cookies for the team at work, which is why this post is a couple of days late. I was making heart-shaped sugar cookies and royal icing all…

Coconut Lime Crinkle Cookies Have Me Dreaming of Summer
I have been on a citrus kick for the past couple of weeks and I don’t think it will stop anytime soon. This time of year I tend to make a ton of things with citrus, I think it has something to do with the cold temperatures. These Coconut Lime Crinkle Cookies are great for when you are missing your winter trip to anywhere warm, or if you need something for a Cinco De Mayo. These cookies will hit the spot for sure! I normally don’t like coconut, I make things with coconut cause Kevin does, but these cookies I ate more of them than Kevin did. I seriously could…

You’re Going to Want to Try These Cranberry White Chocolate Cookies.
With the Holiday over I’m sure you thought that some healthy recipes would be coming up. Well sorry to disappoint. To be honest, I don’t have a lot of healthy recipes, and I don’t think that is why people are here. To be fair there is a little bit of oatmeal in this cookie so it is somewhat healthy. This recipe came up as a test and trial for a different post (about how to make your own cookie recipe) that will be coming later on, but I thought it was a good one and I think people will like it. I’m not sure if many of you know but…

‘Tis The Season For Red Velvet Crinkle Cookies.
This is the perfect time of year to bust out all crinkle cookies! The chocolate crinkle cookies are great when you are needing a chocolate fix. Red velvet ones are perfect for adding colour to your holiday baking and they taste delicious too! I came across this recipe from Broma Bakery, made it once, and fell in love with it. These cookies are soft and chewy and flavorful. When I make a recipe the first time I make it as exactly as the recipe calls, then I tend to make my edits and tweaks until I get it to what I think is right. This recipe I don’t think I…

It Wouldn’t Be Christmas Without Whipped Shortbread Cookies
I make these cookies every year at Christmas, and I always love how they taste! I love the way they melt in your mouth and taste little pieces of buttery goodness. The trick to making great shortbread is to whip the butter and sugar until it’s almost white. I use this tip with most of the cookies I make, the cookies turn out better. These cookies are the perfect addition to your holiday baking, and they make a perfect gift as well. I hope everyone is enjoying the Holiday baking as much as I am! INGREDIENTS 2 cups butter 1 cup sugar 4 cups flour 1/4 cup cornstarch DIRECTIONS…

The Best Fudgy Chocolate Crinkle Cookies That Will Make The Holidays Better!
If you never had Crinkle Cookies, you really need to ask yourself WHY? These cookies are like bite-sized brownies lightly covered in icing sugar, so they are chocolatey and sweet! You can make Chocolate Crinkle Cookies or Red Velvet Crinkle Cookies. Both of them are delicious but the chocolate ones always remind me of the Holiday season. I don’t make these cookies often cause I tend to be the one that sits there and eats them all in one sitting. Let me know what your favourite Holiday treat is! INGREDIENTS 1 1/2 cups sugar 1/2 cup vegetable oil 4 eggs 2 teaspoons vanilla 2 1/2 cups flour 1 cup cocoa powder 2 teaspoons baking powder 1/2 teaspoons salt 1/2 cup icing sugar 2 tablespoons cornstarch DIRECTIONS In…

Have Left Over Halloween Candy? Make Cookies With Them!
This Halloween was different, and I knew it would be, but we only had 6 kids come to the door to Trick or Treating. Needless to say, we had a lot of candy leftover. Kevin ate all of the chocolate bars and left all the Smarties for me! Instead of slamming them back like little shooter boxes, I decided to make cookies with them. I only had enough Smarties for a half recipe but they hit the spot! The best thing about this recipe is you can use any type of coated candy you’d like, M & M’s, Mini Eggs anything that has a hard outer shell you can use.…
