Some flavor combinations go really well together: tomato and basil, peanut butter and bananas, strawberries and chocolate. Make chocolate-covered strawberries can expensive, if strawberries aren't in-season. Not to mention that if your strawberries aren't dry enough, you run the risk of seized chocolate. These chocolate-covered strawberry meringue cookies are the answer to that problem. They …

So, I got a little sidetracked and missed a few days of cookies. I'm sorry! All of a sudden it was a week before Christmas and I hadn't done a bit of Christmas gift shopping, we hadn't seen Santa, didn't have a tree, Dave's car stopped working, and Liam was sick. Ahhhh! I was feeling …
Ah, Nutella. I know I'm not the only one obsessed with it. Right? Admit it. Spreads like peanut butter, but the taste, oh, the taste! I don't even need a recipe, I'm content to eat it straight from the jar. But some people don't agree that a spoon and a jar of Nutella can be …
Browned butter chocolate chip cookies have a subtle, nutty flavor from the browned milk solids in the butter. They're Christmas cookies with a kick! Some things just make everything else butter.

It's recipe swap time again! This swap round was Blogger's Choice, hosted by A Taste of Home Cooking, which meant I could choose any recipe I wanted from the blog I had been assigned. I knew I was going to do a "12 Days of Cookies" series in December, so how perfect was it that …
When I was putting together my list of cookies for this series, I knew I wanted to make all different varieties of cookies: one oatmeal, one biscotti, one citrus flavor, one eggnog flavor, a brownie, etc. I definitely wanted to include a shortbread recipe, since they are a traditional Scottish Christmas cookie. I was browsing …

Each year, the swap gets bigger and …
Biscotti are a relatively new type of cookie in my home. I'd seen them around for years, and they've always contained nuts, most of which I can't eat (not allergic, they just make me sick). Then I bought the King Arthur Flour Cookie Companion, which had a whole chapter dedicated to biscotti. Two recipes (Italian-style …

I'm so sorry that the site was down all last week. I underestimated the difficulty of switching hosting sites. Oops... Anyway, can you believe that tomorrow is …
I have something I need to confess: I have an addiction. I am addicted to Walkers Shortbread. Walkers is a Scottish company (shortbread is a Scottish Christmas cookie). I remember when I was growing up, you could only get Walkers in the U.S. around Christmastime. Since I had family living in Scotland, and relatives were …
I am so mad at myself. I dropped my camera a few weeks ago. The body itself is (mostly) fine, but I broke my zoom lens. Now, I know that I'm not publishing the highest-quality photos on this blog, but the quality I get with the kit lens just isn't the same. Which is a …

Shortbread is such a versatile cookie. Basic, traditional shortbread has only four ingredients: butter, flour, sugar and salt. While delicious on its own, it can be flavored almost any way you like.

I think, in years to come, Friday, December 14th, 2012 will be one of those days where you'll always remember where you were, and what you were doing when you heard the news. I was at my mother's house, baking cookies for her office Christmas exchange while she played with my son. My mother had …
Every year, my mother's department at work exchanges tins of edible goodies rather than gifts. Since my mother and the oven (well, pretty much the entire kitchen) don't get along well, she commissions me to bake for her. I like to change up the recipes I made each year, and for that, the 12 Weeks …
Last year, I had a fantastic experience with the Great Food Blogger Cookie Swap. Hundreds of food bloggers from around the world signed up, baked a batch of cookies, and sent one dozen to three different assigned recipients. In return, they received a dozen cookies from three different food bloggers. So when I received the …
