We had our staff Christmas buffet today at school and I had signed up to make a yum dessert. I made the Over the Top Cookies, but decided to try another dessert also as the Over the Top were not too pretty. Don’t get me wrong, they weren’t ugly and they were delicious, it’s just [...]

Just thought I would post some more chocolate cookie recipes now that the holidays and the cookie baking season are here. Does that season ever go away? I think not. Enjoy these recipes. The whoopie pies are an old family recipe (which means I probably have a lot of relatives out there), the mint bars [...]
