I’ve mentioned before that I have a tried and true chocolate chip cookie recipe. It’s quick and easy to make, freezes well, and is very well received by all audiences. That cookie still has the throne, but this one needs to be remembered. It was a pizza-on-the-beach party, with cocktail sharing and lots of...
Another “post-it inside the cabinet” recipe. These are simple, straightforward, and absolutely delicious.
My husband has always preferred the oatmeal raisin cookie. He is in the minority and I know this because I used to do a cookie bar graph with my little preschoolers at work. Chocolate chip is the overwhelming favorite, with snickerdoodle or “sugar” snagging second. Usually one kid likes oatmeal raisin – apparently this...
I have an “I’ve found it, stop searching” sugar roll out dough, a chocolate roll out dough and a gingerbread. I’ve made this time and time again because, while shapes are fun, chocolate is also fun.
I was a school lunch packer all of my days, and the tradition continues. If it’s nice out we pack lunches for the park; if we’re extending errands then there are packed snacks and water bottles. It’s a money saver, it’s better for our bodies, and it’s green. Back in the day (talking 20 years...

What do I bake the most? These cookies. These exact cookies. They are a general crowd pleaser and can be ready to go in the oven in the time it takes your oven to preheat. These have been on my site for years but deserve a re-do with careful explanations and this is why…
Wow – not quite a sentence but what a fabulous string of words. Butter, twice? Yes indeed. Health food this are not, but in the same breath I must say they’re not to be missed.
I have a problem with graham crackers; if there is a sleeve of honey graham crackers anywhere near me, I will eat them all. Doesn’t matter if I’m hungry or not – it’s a strange but very real addiction. I looked into making them myself but had to buy graham flour and to be...
These cookies will always be “Duie’s” in my mind. Duie is my friend Bri’s husband and he once asked her to make a cookie from his childhood (minus the recipe). She commissioned me on the quest and armed with her description, I did my best. On her husband’s birthday, he enjoyed a cookie from...
