Guilt Free Chocolate Cookies

One of the teachers at my school, Krystal, brought these delicious cookies to school for our Healthy Buffet. They, if you follow WeightWatchers, are 1 point each, which translate into diet friendly. These cookies were very moist and mouth watering. Very good Krystal! I found out today that Krystal made a little error while baking [...]

Swedish Tea Ring-Cookies That Melt in Your Mouth

These cookies are very rich and worth every effort to make. I received this recipe from my sister-in-law, Lori, who is Swedish. This is from her grandmother, a long time baker. These were made for Christmas by my nephew, Dennis, who is keeping with the family tradition of also being a great baker. Some side [...]

Raspberry Almond Delights with Some Added Zest

I know I said I would be posting healthy recipes. It will happen but for now I thought I would finish up with my Christmas cookies selections. A very delicious and tender, light cookie is the raspberry almond delight. This Christmas, my sister in law, Lori, made these and added some orange zest to the [...]

Chocolate Chip Cookies-Never Out of Taste

My son Steven came home for Christmas this year. Even though he is now a mature adult, he still remembers the aroma of freshly baked chocolate chip cookies. After all, who in their right state of mind wouldn’t remember or desire them, especially when right out of the oven. Remember? Melted chocolate chips in a [...]

Swedish Spice Cookies (Pepparkakor)

Here is another Christmas cookie that has been a favorite of mine for years. Each Christmas my sister-in-law, Lori brings them over. She has passed the torch on to her son Dennis and this year he was the bearer of these crisp, tasty cookies. Very delicious with a cup of tea. They are not too [...]

Spritz-Perfect for Christmas

I love to make Christmas cookies but sometimes I just don’t have the time needed to make rolled and decorated sugar cookies, Italian anise cookies, or any of my other favorites that are time consuming to produce. Ahh. The Spritz.  The perfect cookie to make when time is of the essence. It’s basically a mix [...]

Italian Cookies

There isn’t a Christmas that comes and goes that I haven’t make these gems. Italian cookies are quite delicious, somewhat easy to make, and very satisfying. They go great with everything and it always amazes me how much people in general enjoy these treats. I never ate them as a child, always went for the [...]

Chocolate and More Chocolate Coconut Bars

Recently I made the coconut bars from a previous post and my husband, Dan, thought that they would be greatly improved (which he included might be tough to do), by making a chocolate cookie crust in place of the vanilla one the recipe called for. Not a problem. I have to admit I agreed with him as [...]

Coconut Bar Confections

Coconut with anything adds a great texture and taste. Mix it in with chocolate, gooiness, and some more sugar and it becomes the perfect choice for any sweettooth! I have always loved seven layer bars. These are very similar to make as there are so many versions of these delicacies. Coconut Bars Crust: 1/2 cup [...]

Chocolate Caramel Pecan Turtles

Here is an easy treat to make that will satisfy any sweet tooth. It basically is a no brainer. These were made for our annual Christmas buffet and were gone in seconds. In fact, they might be too easy to eat, never mind make! Walk by, pop it in… oh yeah, that’s why they were [...]
