Triple Chip Hot Cocoa Cookies

Hi, there! Remember me? Pink? Fluffy? It’s been a crazy last few weeks, between preparing Freakin’ Flamingo samples for the swag bags at Eat, Write, Retreat (#EWR11), making more jam (because it seems that everything’s in season right now!), and organizing (and baking for) the National Food Bloggers Bake Sale – Miami, benefiting Share Our [...]

Coconut Lime Macaroons

Six days down and two to go. The eight-day Passover holiday is nearly over and we’ve run through our cookies and our brownies and our sponge cakes. Time to make macaroons. I grew up thinking of macaroons (as opposed to the French macaron) as Passover cookies. My mother would buy a couple of cans of [...]

Tozzetti (Roman-Style Hazelnut Almond Biscotti) – Cookies We Love

Last year at this time, our intrepid troupe of cookie bakers were baking The 12 Days of Cookies, attempting to bake 12 holiday cookies in 12 days. While I did eventually bake all 12 cookies, I don’t think I finished until January! This year, the group decided to take it a little easier and bake [...]

Peanut Butter Cup Bon Bon Cookies

Yes, I said Peanut Butter Cup Bon Bon Cookies. A little bit today and a little bit yesterday. At the moment, we’re only going up to my in-laws’ condo about once a week, picking at cleaning things out. No, we’re not making a lot of forward progress that way, but what’s the rush? It all [...]

Rugelach – The Every Holiday Cookie

I love Rugelach. A soft, but crispy, pastry rolled up with a sweet filling and sliced into 2-bite pieces, to me, they’re the ultimate holiday cookies, no matter which holiday you feel like celebrating. While they’re considered a “Jewish” cookie, rugelach are a tasty addition to any cookie platter. That’s why I’ve chosen them for [...]

PhotoHunt: Daily & Purim Hamantaschen

The PhotoHunt theme this week is “Daily” Many people joke that, if you look at a Jewish calendar, it almost seems as if there’s some sort of holiday Daily. It does seem that way sometimes! For instance, tomorrow we celebrate the holiday of Purim. Purim celebrates the story told in the Old Testament Book of [...]
