Lemon Sugar Cookie Recipe. Lemon Sugar Cookies I love all kinds of cookies, but traditional sugar cookies with frosting have never been my favorite. I am just not a frosting gal. (I am sure if you put a frosted sugar cookie in front of me, I would eat it, but they just aren’t my favorite.) I do adore Lemon Sugar Cookies-they are soft, chewy, and rolled in sugar. These cookies are simple, elegant, and perfect for spring. The recipe includes lemon zest and fresh lemon juice so the cookies have a delightful lemon flavor.

Super Mario Mushroom Cookies (Snack or Die - Video Game Cookies) A bit of pound cake with a brightly iced cookie top. These cookies are the same size as a mushroom, but taste better and are cuter to boot. Ingredients for making the mushrooms: 1 cup butter (two sticks) 1/2 cup pecans (walnuts or hazelnuts work as well) 1/4 cup powdered sugar 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract 1/4 teaspoon salt Pound cake (a frozen loaf is fine) Black decorator's gel Red and green food coloring White frosting or white fondant Ingredients for Royal Icing: 1 3/4 cup powdered sugar 1 teaspoon lemon juice 1 egg white The cookies are a slightly less sweet version of the cookie used in the Koopa Shell Cookie. These cookies hold their shape well, plus they're darn tasty.
As with all things involving royal icing, there will be long drying times. To start off the cookies, beat together the softened butter and sugar until the mixture is fluffy and looks like mayo. Add the vanilla extract. Mix in the salt and flour until everything is well combined. Whew! Rolo Cookies. Rolo Cookies We don’t buy candy very often, but when we do it is usually not to snack on, it is to bake with. Last week I bought Rolo candies to make Rolo Pretzels with Pretzel M&M’s. I didn’t use all of the Rolos so I used the leftover candies to make Rolo cookies. These cookies look like plain chocolate cookies, but there is a surprise inside. The chocolate cookie dough gets wrapped around the Rolo candy. The Rolos melt in the oven and create a chocolate caramel center that is to die for.
The cookies are best warm because the center is ooey, gooey, and divine. If you want to create an extra sweet treat, try these chocolate cookies with a Rolo candy center.

Homemade Oreos. Lately, my husband has been getting me into a bit of trouble. You see, he’s my taste tester. He’s not afraid to tell me when something I make is awful (it has happened before… believe me!) , so I know he’ll give me an honest opinion. So, when I’m baking and working on a new recipe, I often take him a plate of samples. A few times lately (including yesterday when I was working on this particular recipe), he has raved on Facebook about what I made for him.
I’m thrilled when my recipes turn out well, and I’m always glad that he’s happy with his afternoon snack. But, I wind up with a whole group of jealous friends, neighbors, and relatives who want to know why I didn’t make homemade oreos (or cinnamon rolls, brownies, muffins… ) for them. In this case, the homemade oreos that my hubby was taunting his friends with on Facebook were already spoken for… Most of the cookies were destined for the cafe at our church. These homemade oreos are easy to make. Homemade Oreos(Makes approximately 3 dozen) How to make macarons - some tips and tricks. For those of you who read this blog regularly, you will know that macarons are one of my obsessions. Some of you may remember a couple of my early attempts (here, here, and here), then the epiphany of the class at Lenôtre in Paris.
Following that class, I had a number of successes and I found the recipe to be very similar to Helene’s (of Tartelette blog) and I used a combination of the Lenôtre techniques with Helene’s recipe most of last year, with varying success. Being a Taurean (stubborn) and A-type (a planner) what bugged me about macarons was how unpredictable they were. On many occasions I have wanted to make them for dinner parties or gifts but given the fact that I never knew if it was going to be a “feet” kinda day, I always chose something else. Until recently. Encouraged by Stella, I tried my hand at these just before the end of my spring break. I followed Stella’s instructions to a T – even down to the timing of the beating of the whites. I was on a roll!

Nearly every one I have tried since setting foot in NYC in 2000 has rather disappointed. Because the cookie is really a cake, they get stale quite quickly, but this doesn’t convince deli and bodega owners to yank their plastic shrink-wrapped versions before they’re sold. Your best bet? Make them at home and wow all of the Brooklyn natives in the audience.
