With St. Patrick’s Day coming up I have been doing some cooking with Irish booze. Last weekend I made these delicious Guinness Chocolate Chip Cookies!
The booze in these cookies is cooked for about 15 minutes with sugar to make a thick Guinness syrup, which adds just a hit of richness and flavor to the cookies. If you don’t know what the secret ingredient is you would never guess that is is Guinness.
I love to make Christmas cookies and I always want to try new and different varieties, like these Holiday Peppermint Cookies.
One of the things I love about this recipe is how easy it is to make. There are no unusual ingredients to buy or complicated directions to follow. The cookies are made by stirring in broken up peppermints or candy canes into the batter, for a festive and minty flavor.
Andes candy has always been a Holiday favorite of mine. When I was a child my mom kept a bowl of them in the living room during the holiday season, and I always loved to sneak into the room and grab some of the green foil packets! So naturally now that I am older I like to use the candy in cookies for Christmas. I have made this before by cutting up the Andes mints, but this year I noticed you can now buy bags of the Creme De Menthe candy for baking. That is much easier than cutting up a bunch of them!
Pumpkin is one of my favorite fall flavors to cook with. It adds color and flavor to a dish and takes a recipe from ordinary to extraordinary. Last year I made tasty Pumpkin Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies, and this fall I wanted to try out a new Pumpkin Cookie. I came up with this recipe for Pumpkin Date Cookies.
This recipe uses pumpkin and apple sauce in place of most of the butter, so it is very moist and chewy. The insides of the cookie have a cake like texture. I added dates and pecans along with spices to give the cookies a nice burst of flavor.
Spring is the perfect time to try new and different recipes, so I welcomed the challenge to find a new holiday cookie from somewhere exotic to make this spring. After searching I found these traditional Maltese Figolli Cookies, which are tasty pastry filled with almond paste.
The cookies are made with a buttery, lemon dough that is rolled and cut into spring shapes. Before baking a small amount of almond paste is spread onto a cookie, and an identical shape is placed on top. I used purchased almond paste, but you could make it from scratch.
These Lemon Blueberry Shortbread cookies are tasty shortbread treats with a hint of fruit.
To get the fruity taste I made a basic shortbread recipe and added some dried blueberries to the dough.
These Valentine’s sugar cookies are an easy dessert for the holiday!
I made the cookies by using two sizes of heart shaped cookie cutters, and cutting out a heart shaped window in half the cookies.
I love the holiday time – but it can get very stressful, because there is so much to do, and so little time. Just today my husband was asking when the rest of the holiday decorations will be up – and I don’t know! It is on my list, but there are other things that need to happen first. So I am always looking for ways to reduce stress and save time during the holidays, which is why I love these easy to make cake mix Red Velvet Cookies.
Gingersnaps are one of my favorite cookie recipes. They keep well and have a distinct molasses and ginger taste, perfect for the Holiday season. This recipe is a family recipe that was handed down from my Great Aunt Tina. I don’t remember ever meeting my Great Aunt Tina, but that doesn’t mean I don’t enjoy her cookie recipe!

The Creative Cookie Exchange blog theme for this month is decorated cookies. Originally I was thinking of making holiday cookies, but then I saw these adorable Chemistry cookie cutters, and I just decided to forget the holidays and go for a science theme.
These Chemistry Cookies are a simple shortbread cutout cookie made to look like Erlenmeyer flasks, beakers and atoms. I teach high school chemistry at a local homeschool co-op, so I love these perfect chemical treats. After all a lot of cooking is just chemistry in action.
Pumpkin and chocolate are one of my favorite flavor combinations, and to make these White Chocolate Pumpkin Bars I used white chocolate instead of dark chocolate for a totally different taste!
These take a little effort to prepare, because you have to make two separate batters and swirl them together for layers of white chocolate and pumpkin. But the result is worth the effort! The white chocolate layer is more cake like, and the pumpkin layer is more dense and chewy, for a great combination of tastes and textures.
