They are the ones we look forward to baking and serving as they are part of our family traditions and invoke pleasant memories.

So I hope you will browse through these cookie recipes and give a few a try. Notes on Storing Cookies: Freshly made cookies always need to be cooled completely before storing in airtight containers or the cookies will become soft from the steam they produce while they are still warm.

For frosted cookies, always let the frosting dry completely before storing so the cookies will not stick together. It is best to store filled and frosted cookies in a single layer or between layers of parchment or wax paper. Notes on Shipping Cookies: If you plan to ship cookies, choose cookies that keep well and are not fragile. Play Dough recipe. Sam on Sweets-TURKISH OLIVE OIL. Holiday Memories: Aunt Sandy's Italian Christmas Cookies Including recipes for: When I was growing up, Christmas time was cookie time. And no one made cookies like my Aunt Sandy. Aunt Sandy is the aunt at large to all of us nieces and nephews.

The only thing black about Aunt Sandy is her hair, which we all swear she dyes to cover the gray. During the holidays, these cookies were augmented by my mother’s cucciddati, traditional Italian Christmas cookies stuffed with ground dates and figs. After the cucciddati were baked, they were iced and sprinkled with nonpareils. Mom and Aunt Sandy would make up little trays of their cookies on paper plates lined with doilies. These packages were destined for relatives who Mom would drag us to visit. "Who are we going to see tonight, Mom? " When people came to our house for a holiday visit, they always found a plate or two of cookies on the dining room table. In addition to Dad’s fondness for unfrosted cucciddati, we each had our favorite cookie. Christmas Cookie Recipes With Pictures | Christmas. Nikki's Healthy Cookies Recipe. I keep in touch with one of my best friends from high school.

Her name is Nikki and she lives in rural Pennsylvania with her husband and four kids. Four! She's an inspired cook who can throw a meal together on a whim from a refrigerator she keeps packed with all manner of whole, natural foods. She's an enthusiastic supporter of local growers and producers and regularly sends me emails highlighting recent cooking triumphs and trials. A few months back she emailed me her recipe for butter-less, flour-less, egg-less, and potentially sugar-less cookies - I promptly filed it under "can't possibly be good.

" When I made a trip to Philadelphia a few weeks back and spent the day with Nikki the topic of the cookies was revisited. Wayne and his brother Greg drove me out to see Nikki in Kennett Square, and for those of you who find yourself in the area I'll list off a few of the places Nikki took me to visit that day.

What Did You Eat?: Cupcake Roundup: Hunk Of Burning Love (The Elvis Cupcake) When I was in grammar school, we were poor. Not destitute, but poor. I knew that was the case, but I didn't know just how poor we were until I was much older. Then I learned how hard my mom worked to hold things together, the ways she scrimped, often skipping meals for herself when the food budget was tight. She knew how to sew and made most of my clothes, so I never felt embarrassed about the way I looked. But, I knew things were different for us when I visited my friend's houses.

Recently Garrett at Vanilla-Garlic and Cheryl at Cupcake Bakeshop decided to hold a Cupcake Roundup, asking people to come up with a cupcake.

Raspberry Mega Scones Recipe. We're going to wrap up 2007 with a buttery-sweet bang. The theme: scones. I'm sure many of you will agree, a good scone recipe is an incredibly useful thing to have - crumbly sweet scones in the morning, savory scones dunked in soup later in the day.

They're hard to beat. And while I'm sure plenty of you have baked scones, I'm betting very few of you have delved in the realm of the mega scone. This is a recipe that came out of being one part lazy, and one part determined to come up with something just a little bit different. Broadly speaking this is a scone recipe that is slightly less fussy to make than cookie-cutter shaped scones, and more rustic out of the oven. This particular scone recipe lends itself to endless combinations. Preheat oven to 375. Combine the flour, baking powder, and salt in a bowl. Turn out onto a floured piece of parchment paper or Silpat mat, divide into two equal sized pieces of dough and set one aside. While the scones are baking, prepare the glaze.

Oh well! The other cookies pictured are Gingerbread Men from the Better Homes and Gardens cookbook. Doesn’t everybody have that cookbook?
