Jam Thumprint Cookies
I've had this saskatoon berry jam in my cupboard for quite some time now and have been very curious to see what it taste like. I decided to make a classic baked jam treat: jam thumbprint cookies. These types of cookies used to be one my favorites growning up. My mom would buy this big round tin from the grocery store when I was younger and it would be filled with an assortment of cookies but I would always eat the jam filled ones first. This recipe is easy enough to make and the cornmeal gives the cookies a nice texture. Whats great about these cookies is that you can use any type of jam depending on your preference.
Mocha Mint Cookies
I went to this restaurant one night and ordered this drink called Matty's Mint Mudslide and it had to be one of the best beverages I've had. It was like a mocha milkshake with a hint of mint flavor. I was craving one of them today and was too lazy to go back to the restaurant so I decided to recreate the drink into a cookie form. They turned out great, very soft and chewy, and definately satisfied my craving. The were full of chocolate flavor and had just enough hints of mint and coffee flavors that weren't too overpowering.
Cake Crumb Oatmeal Cookies
I decided to try out a new recipe the other day from a cookbook that my mom gave me a long time ago. The recipe didn't exactly turn out as planned (I've decided to blame the recipe in the cookbook rather than blame myself on the mistake) and I ended up with a plate full of cake crumbs. I hate wasting food and I don't have that much money right now to spend on ingredients, so I could either A) eat all the crumbs to myself or B) find some other recipe to use them in. Thanks to my wonderful friend Google, I was able to discover this website and used the recipe called 'Cake Crumb Cookies' from ICES article 1-94 by Carl Nixon-TX.
Christmas Sugar Cut-Out Cookies
It's the season for cookies! What better way to start it off than with loads and loads of Chirstmas decorated sugar cookies. The wonderful company of Ann Clark Cookie Cutters sent me some samples to try out and I decided to put them to the test today! The cookie cutters are adorable (they have a huge variety of different collections), easy to use (they all have big handles to help you) and very big (the bigger the cookie, the better!!)
