Vanilla Latte Cookies November 3, 2011 | Print | E-mail | Filed under 12weeksofchristmascookies, cookie Now that Halloween is over (and we’re halfway through the 12 Weeks of Christmas Cookies!), are you already planning for Thanksgiving? I know some who are already knee-deep in planning, and others who haven’t even thought about it yet. I’m somewhere in between; since it’s my turn to host again this year, I’ve been trying to put together a menu at least so that I can let people know what else to bring. So far it’s slow-going, although I do have a few ideas in mind. 1 cup unsalted butter, softened2/3 cup powdered sugar1 Tbsp instant espresso1 tsp vanilla1 vanilla bean, split and scraped1/4 tsp ground cinnamon2 cups all-purpose flour Preheat the oven to 325 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Add in the flour, beating until combined. Roll the dough into 1″ balls. Bake about 12 minutes or until the edges are set. Leave a Reply
Oatmeal Butterscotch Cookies Good news everyone. I have found the one. The oatmeal butterscotch cookie recipe I have been searching for. What, you haven’t also been searching for this particular brand of cookie bliss? Well, maybe it’s just me. In any case, it’s no secret that a dessert containing butterscotch chips is almost sure to be a winner with me – cakes, cookie bars, and more. The additions of the shredded coconut and toffee bits may seem a bit odd, but I think the coconut helped achieve the perfect chewy texture and the toffee bits helped round out the flavor of the cookies. Quick housekeeping note – Thanks to everyone who entered the giveaway last week.
Colorful Spiral Cookies Just try to be in a bad mood around one of these. Impossible! I was naturally drawn to these because of the bright, eye-catching swirl, not to mention the jumbo sprinkles-encrusted edges! Another thing I love about these is that they are SLICE and BAKE. I won't go much into preparation here, because that's all in the recipe, but here are some pictures to give you an idea of the process. I wanted to make my dough even on all sides, so I trimmed some away to make an even roll. I used Wilton's rose gel food coloring. You'll then encrust the dough with jumbo (or other) sprinkles. Speaking of ham... Some of you may wonder why there are so many pictures of my dog, Biscuit, included in my posts. I'll say "Biiiissscuit...no-no!" ...and all my disciplinary plans fly out the window. I think this version turned out cute too, although I really like the larger jumbo non-pariels better. EDIT: Laurie at Dalla Mia Cucina made them - check out her pretty version. Remove dough pieces from refrigerator. Love,

Editors Review Health food lovers are going to love this! Spiral Slice-and-Bake Cookies I've never really been a fan of Valentine's Day. I've always just found it to be a silly sort of holiday with no real meaning behind it. I guess it's the whole, overly-commercialized aspect of the holiday that bothers me. It just seems to be a holiday created specifically for chocolate and greeting card companies to put production in overdrive for several weeks after the Christmas holidays...at least until Easter rolls around anyway. It's not that I'm a single, bitter human being who feels that whole "forever alone" thing and sees Valentine's Day as a day that is instead a "Singles Awareness Day." I am none of the above, but regardless...I have always viewed Valentine's Day as a day that should be treated just like any other. However...before I sound like a really bitter, awful person who hates on Valentine's Day in spite of the majority of the population's general approval of the holiday, I must say there are two good things about it.
