As I said in the previous post, I’m sending birthday surprises to my sweet, sweet sister-in-law who never reads this blog so she won’t see this and the surprise will not be spoiled. These three surprises are all my originals and include Golden Lemon Butter Cookies, the new Lemon Vanilla Spring Sprinkles Snicks and the … More Birthday Surprises
My sweet sister-in-law will be 75 this week and is fond of lemon, so I made a new Snick along with a couple other cookie types to send Priority Mail Express tomorrow. They should arrive just on time for her Happy Birthday surprises.
As I recently posted on my Instagram, I got out my hammer to smash some Heath Bars and make the third cookie in a cookie trio I’ve named Heath Bar Delicioso.

It “ticks all the right boxes” mixing chocolate and peanut butter with … More New! The Miley Reese Crookie
I saw in my stats a few days ago that one view was referred from a blog where I found and made a previous recipe, so I used the blog search bar to find what I’d made and whom I’d credited for the recipe. When I clicked the link to the other site, I saw … More Bringing in the New Year with Butterscotch No-Bake Oaties
Before mahjongg this afternoon, a bit of baking for my ladies. This is a cookie we made at Christmastime when I was young, twisting the dough pieces into a candy cane shape rather than straight like these. I’ve had it in my recipe box for a long time, but haven’t made it in at least … More Sour Cream Twists
A couple months ago I saw a photograph of the Molasses Gingerbread Kiss Cookie* and saved the recipe in my bookmarks. Not long thereafter my neighbor was heading off to the store and I wasn’t able to go but asked her to get me the Hershey’s Kiss with stripes. While I was thinking of the … More Hershey’s Kisses & Hugs in Various Thumbprint Cookies
I baked a batch of my own recipe Peanut Butter Butter Cookies today as gratitude cookies for a group of doctors (attendings, residents and students) and nurses and various support staff at the University of Washington Medical Center Hospital but saved a few for an experiment. It worked like a slightly gooey dream and a … More I went wild: juliyya’s Peanut Butter & Marshmallow Wich
