Fair Foods
It’s getting close to fair time again here. That means it’s time for me to decide what types of foods I’m going to make for open class at the Gibson County Fair. There hasn’t been a year that I’ve not exhibitied something there. Last year I made holiday themed candy corn cookies – similar to…
Read MoreQuick Lemon Crispies
This recipe for a lemon cookie is great dipped in dark chocolate, or served by itself. And, because the recipe uses pudding mix for flavoring, you can easily make other flavors. If you make them small like the recipe calls for, you will get 4 dozen, but I usually end up with a little less…
Read MoreOatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies
This is the recipe for the “healthy” cookies I made for my sister Kayla’s bridal shower. Everyone seemed to like them well enough. Even with the cake, chocolate chunk cookies, and sugar cookies, I didn’t have many left. Ingredients: 1 cup butter, softened 1 cup sugar 1 cup packed brown sugar 2 eggs 1 teaspoon…
Read MoreIt’s a sparkly cookie sort of day.
So… it’s about an hour after lunch, and I feel like something sweet. Granted, I’ve got some Girl Scout Thin Mints I could snack on. But that’s not what they are for. They’re for making homemade blizzards – if Matt doesn’t eat them all first. That’s why I’m always super glad to have cookie dough…
Read MoreDouble-Dutch Chocolate Holiday Cookies
This recipe for chocolate-y cookies originally comes from the December 2011 Taste of Home publication, Gifts in a Jar. I love recipe in a jar cookies, because I can prep cookies and display them in a pretty jar until I’m ready to make them. Now, that being said, there’s no reason that you have to…
Read MoreChai-Spiced Almond Celebration Cookies
I originally found this recipe in my December 2008 copy of the Betty Crocker Christmas Cookies publication. I like this recipe because it starts from a cookie mix. I’m not normally a big fan of using mixes – it takes some of the home-made out of home-made, but it makes my life super easy when…
Read MoreBrowned Butter Cookies with Caramel Frosting
These browned butter cookies take a little time to make, since they require heating and cooling before they are even baked, but they are well worth the trouble. My mom and I originally found this recipe in the December 2008 Betty Crocker Christmas Cookies publication. They are super amazing, just make sure not to over-bake…
Read MoreCinnamon Cookies
These cookies were originally titled “Cinnamon Cardinal Cookies” in the December 2008 Betty Crocker Christmas Cookies publication. I’ve retitled it here, because these cookies look cute decorated as more than just cardinals. Ingredients: 1/2 cup butter, softened 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar 1 teaspoon vanilla 2 cups all-purpose flour 1/4 teaspoon baking soda 1…
Read MoreFarmer’s Daughter Chocolate Chunk Cookies
My favorite cookies, from my favorite restaurant, the chocolate chunk cookies from the Farmer’s Daughter are made with fantastic eating chocolate (not baking chocolate), which leaves the chocolate gooey long after it has cooled. Ingredients: 4 1/4 cups all-purpose flour 1 teaspoon baking soda 1 teaspoon salt 3 sticks melted butter, cooled 2 cups packed…
