As you can see, my small kitchen is finally getting a re-do!  Needless to say, I won’t be posting any new recipes for a week or so.  Hopefully it won’t be too long though.  We’re making progress, tile floors are going down as I type this up!

Spiced Sugar Cookies With Almond Flavored Icing

Well we’ve finally come down to my last Christmas cookie recipe of 2010.  And I think I may have saved the best for last! I was looking for a simple but tasty recipe for good old sugar cookies when I came across this brown sugar and spice version from Bake at 350.  Her pictures made these cookies look so wonderful that I just couldn’t resist going with this recipe. I must say that these sugar [...]

Finally after days of endless cookie baking and wrapping, I think I’m finally done!  Last night I iced my sugar cookies, which will be my last cookie recipe for this holiday season.  I’ll have those posted here hopefully tomorrow. Hubby says I’m doing way too much but I just can’t help myself!  I really enjoy baking Christmas cookies and I’m trying to get all the cooking and baking out of my system before the kitchen [...]

Lines were long, people were grumpy.  Needless to say, we got what we needed and got the heck out.  I was happy to get back in my warm house and quiet kitchen. I decided [...]

Italian Anise Cookies

Anise cookies were always a constant while I was growing up.  My grandmother never let a Christmas go by without baking her wonderful anise pizzelles and anise cookies.  But sadly many years ago she passed away and gone were the days of anise cookies.  Sure we’ve had pizzelles through the years but those really aren’t my thing. I was just out of high school when she passed and too young to appreciate what a treasure [...]

Chocolate Mint Chip Cookies

I couldn’t possibly spend two weeks baking and not make hubby something minty!  Since I’m not making anything chocolate peanut butter the least I could do is make these minty fresh chocolate chip cookies for him. If you haven’t bought the limited edition Nestle Toll House dark chocolate and mint morsels, I’d recommend you run right to the store to get some!  They are quite tasty and made my house smell so fresh and minty.
