Inside-Out Snickerdoodles

March 30, 2020January 27, 2021 Barbara

Put the cinnamon inside and avoid the rolling! I kinda like Snickerdoodles, because I like cinnamon, but I’m not really crazy about the burst of sugar and cinnamon on the tongue as soon as you take a bite. So I … Continue reading Inside-Out Snickerdoodles

Another Contender for Grandma’s Cookies—Buttermilk Cookies

January 29, 2018March 8, 2018 Barbara

I shared my post for Serinakaker with the only two people left who might remember my grandma’s cookies, my brother and cousin. One remembered and one kinda didn’t, but my cousin has her mother’s recipe box that includes three new … Continue reading Another Contender for Grandma’s Cookies—Buttermilk Cookies

In Search of My Grandma’s Cookies: Serinakaker

November 8, 2017December 14, 2021 Barbara

Maybe I’ve mentioned it before, but I’ve been searching for decades for a cookie recipe like the plain, crumbly sugar cookies my paternal grandma always had on hand. I shouldn’t really call them a sugar cookie, because if there was … Continue reading In Search of My Grandma’s Cookies: Serinakaker

Sparkling Snickerdoodles

April 25, 2017 Barbara

Another recipe from my old Betty Crocker’s New Picture Cook Book, it is probably much like one you have used. I made only two changes: I used all butter instead of the recommended “part” and I used decorating sugar instead … Continue reading Sparkling Snickerdoodles

Pecan Sandies

January 21, 2017 Barbara

We used to love the popular commercial version of this cookie, but they changed the recipe years ago, like so many other popular foods did, and ruined them. This recipe comes pretty close to what we remember, and it doesn’t … Continue reading Pecan Sandies

Chewy Cherry Pecan Cookies

January 16, 2017 Barbara

This cookie is pretty much like your favorite chewy chocolate chip cookie, but with dried cherries and pecans. I have both unsweetened dried Bing cherries and unsweetened dried tart Montmorency cherries; either would make a good cookie, but with all … Continue reading Chewy Cherry Pecan Cookies

Raisin Filled Biscuit Bars

November 3, 2016 Barbara

I love a raisin filled cookie, but am not crazy about the process of rolling out and cutting the dough in circles and carefully filling them. I didn’t see why I couldn’t make them as a filled bar, kind of … Continue reading Raisin Filled Biscuit Bars

Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookie Cups

September 3, 2016September 4, 2016 Barbara

I was totally inspired by Carl’s “Chocolate Peanut Butter Shortbread” at Needs Baked to make these cookie cups in a muffin tin. I followed all of his inspirations and just made one ingredient substitution. Most of my changes are in … Continue reading Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookie Cups

What I Don’t Know About Brownies. . . .

April 16, 2016April 16, 2016 Barbara

What I don’t know or understand about brownies could fill a cookbook. I have no interest in eating one, and I have never received high marks for the ones I’ve made. Looking at a brief comparison of four recipes shows … Continue reading What I Don’t Know About Brownies. . . .

Peanut Butter Pecan Cookies

April 1, 2016April 17, 2016 Barbara

With the addition of coconut oil as the shortening, the cookies have a slight coconut flavor, but they retain the classic texture of a peanut butter cookie—a little sandy, a little crisp, a little chewy. The chopped pecans are a … Continue reading Peanut Butter Pecan Cookies

Matcha Tea Shortbread Cookies, Reduced-Sugar

January 26, 2016 Barbara

It should be easy to agree on a shortbread cookie recipe, one of the simplest and richest of cookies—if you think of all that butter as rich, and I do. The one I have made most often is from my … Continue reading Matcha Tea Shortbread Cookies, Reduced-Sugar

Pumpkin Blondies

December 4, 2015 Barbara

Remember the Great Pumpkin Scarcity Caper, where we cleaned out the local grocery shelves of canned pumpkin because of the dog? You might remember that I confiscated 3 of the large cans for my cooking. I used one of them … Continue reading Pumpkin Blondies
