    Traditional Peppermint Hot Cocoa Cookies

    December 12, 2016 /

    These Traditional Peppermint Hot Cocoa Cookies combine some really great and comforting flavours. There’s nothing better than the taste of peppermint during the holidays. It’s one of those tastes you either love or hate, I think. My kids for the longest time would say it’s too spicy, or too hot if I ever gave them peppermint. To this day only one has warmed to the notion of minty tastes and foods and baked goods. Did you know that peppermint actually dates back to the Egyptians?  It’s true. In fact, peppermint was found dried in Egyptian pyramids as early as 1000 BC. Peppermint was then brought here and grows wild. There…

    4th of July Mickey Cookies Recipe

    June 23, 2016 /

    It’s getting close to my favourite month – July. So much beauty in the summer months, living outdoors and picnicking with family. In Canada, we have Canada Day and I have anniversaries and birthdays here too. Much to celebrate and much to bake for too.

There are a few iconic things, destinations, people, characters and events I think of when I think of the United States. Mickey Mouse and Disneyland are a couple of those things that are genuinely American. I think this Mickey Cookies Recipe is just…

    Swig Cookies Recipe

    I have a weakness for sweets but more than that cookies. Cookies are my soft spot. Iced cookies? Well, those are a little bit of sunshine in a perfect little bundle. Don’t you agree? What’s your favourite type of cookie? Mine are similar to these right here – iced and sweet and soft cookies. Yum! Swig cookies are pretty famous but you can make your own now with this copycat variation on a traditional cookie. You can tell with these ones that they will be soft and delicious as soon as you read the list of ingredients. Sour cream makes things so moist and flavourful sometimes. Looking good so far!…

    Soft Pumpkin Sugar Cookies

    December 21, 2014 /

    These are inspired. I wanted to make sugar cookies one day this past week and I was on a baking kick. And my favourite cookies ever are the soft ones that you buy at the grocery store, but I wondered if I could make something similar and add pumpkin. I was also on a pumpkin kick last week because who doesn’t love pumpkin flavour? There’s something so wonderfully fresh and comforting about pumpkin spice foods and baked goods. So I decided to try to create some awesome pumpkin sugar cookies and let me tell you these turned out so good!! I started with a basic sugar cookie recipe and then…
