I'm very into the peppermint this holiday season. Usually, I'm more of a pumpkin or cranberry girlie, but peppermint has really been calling to me this year.

White Chocolate Candy Cane Cookies
I think I've cracked the code on the perfect cookie dough. I've always tried to perfect the perfect cookie---crispy bottom, chewy (but not too chewy) center, no cakey texture, light crumb.

Pumpkin Snickerdoodles
Everybody has a favorite cookie; I have a favorite cookie list. My favorite is frosted sugar cookies at Christmas. Second of my list: Tollhouse chocolate chip.

Christmas Cookie Sticks
The air is cool, crisp, and has a hint of fireplace smoke to it. Lights twinkle in the pre-dawn sky, a pine-scented candle flickers in the distance, and coffee percolates on the countertop. These December mornings have got me feeling all kinds of things. Christmas is about a week away, and I've been immersed in… Continue reading Christmas Cookie Sticks
