First off, here is a list of things you will need:

I finally got some time to make cookies again! Sorry for missing the last two Cookie Fridays. I must confess I strapped the baby into his high chair and gave him not exactly healthy baby food to keep him appeased while I baked. Nilla wafers RULE.

Chocolate Peanut Butter FAILS

There’s nothing really special about these cookies [...]

One of the main reasons I have cookie recipes all the time on here is because I have sort of instituted a tradition at my husband’s work. Every Friday I make cookies for them to celebrate the end of the week. I love all the people he works with, so cookies are the [...]

I finally got to cook again! Here is my latest creation:
Lemon Strawberry Sandwich Cremes
