Cake Mix n’ More Cookies

I love to make cookies, and I especially love when a cookie recipe is quick and easy to make, and one that’s a keeper.  This cookie recipe uses a cake mix, so what can be easier than that?  True, store-bought cookies, but you won’t find any store-bought cookie as yummy as this cookie.  The fun thing about … Continue reading

Giant Oatmeal Cookies

For as long as I can remember, oatmeal has always given me a warm fuzzy feeling inside.  Oatmeal reminds me of the long cold winters we had while growing up in the mountains of West Virginia.  As an adult, I’ve grown to love oatmeal in so many other ways!  The aroma of an oatmeal cookie baking in the oven … Continue reading

Rolo in the Middle!

The dough part on this cookie is the same as a cookie recipe I’ve posted before called: “Magic in the Middle,”  but instead of the peanut butter center, I decided to use a Rolo instead.  Once the cookie cools, the Rolo inside becomes more solid again.  The chewy center is an unexpected surprise!  Happy Cookie Baking! Directions: 1 … Continue reading

Old-Fashioned Sugar Cookies

I’ve been making these sugar cookies since 1973 when I got the recipe from Better Homes Magazine.  They can be made with the assorted sugars or with royal icing.  I like them best both ways!  My sons loved them best with sugar.  I remember how excited they would be to help me decorate them, and how excited they … Continue reading

Chocolate Peanut Butter M&M Cookies

How can you go wrong with chocolate and peanut butter in the same cookie!  I had a few bags of Halloween (Mini} Peanut Butter M&M’s  left-over and wanted to use them up so I decided to use one of my chocolate cookie recipes and add the m&m’s to it.  I also had half a bag of peanut butter chips and … Continue reading

Peanut Butter Cookies

I love peanut butter so much, I can eat it right out of the jar!  I love crunchy peanut butter or smooth, it makes no difference, as long as it’s peanut butter!  The cookies below burst with the flavor of peanut butter, a recipe I’ve been making for years. If you love peanut butter, this … Continue reading

Candy Cane Cookies

Another cookie I’ve been making since 1973.  A recipe from Family Circle Christmas Help 1973 magazine.  My sons always  loved this cookie because it tastes like a candy cane.  The original recipe does not have the icing drizzled across the candy cane cookies, or the sanding sugar, but I think the icing makes them even … Continue reading

Raspberry Pochettes

Every year at Christmas I always add a new cookie, and then take away one that’s not as popular as some I make.  This year I’ve added the Raspberry Pochette.  This is a cookie that’s like a mini pie, just enough to fill your mouth with a soft pastry filled with raspberry jam and sprinkled … Continue reading
