There has to be one fun cookie you must make every year and this year, this is mine. Decorating these was always a fun event in our house. But the grown up kids won’t be here until Christmas day and that is too late for my last treat! This is a great sugar cookie recipe [...]
Is it cheating if I give you another fruitcake recipe? Technically, this is a chocolate fruitcake so it is different! I had this extra marinated fruit from when I initially planned on making my fusion style fruitcake for you but ended up making the Fruitcake Cookies – Treat #5, instead. Which used up a fraction [...]
Unless you have been hiding from all forms of social media over the last few months, you will have heard of the Squid Games. I fell in love with this show from the second episode. Although the first episode set the context, I wasn’t sure I’d continue with it until I saw a preview of [...]
Because it’s by Dorie Greenspan! I can hear the questions now “This isn’t an unusual cookie like your other ones?!” I know eh! But it is from the Goddess of cookies – Dorie Greenspan and I had to use at least one (there may be more) of her cookies in the Treat series. So this [...]
This recipe seems a bit complex but it really is worth making! You know I usually avoid these types of recipes that involve planning and shopping, but I initially started off in the direction of my version of fusion style fruitcake.

There is a reason why some recipes have rave reviews and are passed on from one generation to the next, whether as a family secret (and this should only be the case if you are in the business of making and selling these for a living) or for general public enjoyment (remember - sharing is [...]
I have been eyeing this recipe for the longest time. The flavors intrigue me and that’s sometimes what draws me to a recipe. It looked gorgeous in the magazine and I had bookmarked it to try for a future blog. So this is my Coffee, Black Sesame and Kinako Cookie recipe. There are plenty of [...]
My wife hardly ever asks me to make something, but she inspires me to make everything! She also flips through numerous foodie sites and will start telling me about a recipe or it’s ingredients to see if I’m interested in the dish. Sweet or savory, this is her area of expertise – research and subliminally [...]
I haven’t made a cookie for you in a while and in hindsight, I'm glad I didn’t because you will love this one. It comes together beautifully well, intensely chocolatey, and as always – room for add-ins and swaps. This Chocolate Toffee Nut Cookie adapted slightly from the Epicurious site, is my new favorite cookie. [...]
