It took Big Guy a while to work up the nerve to trust a chocolate cookie after his heart-breaking disappointment at the chocolate-espresso drops I made at Christmas. He even made Boots try them first, …
It’s not necessarily odd that I’d never made snickerdoodles before tonight.
What is odd, though, is that I’d never had one until a couple of years ago, when someone brought some into work for a potluck. …
Were it not for the fact that I’m incapable of rolling pretty little round logs of cookie dough, this might be the perfect recipe. It’s easy to make, has no hard-to-find egg replacers, and two …
Yes, there is such a thing as a cookie that’s too chocolate-y. I thought that was impossible, too, until today.
Based on a recipe from Martha Stewart’s Web site, the egg-free version behaves perfectly. It’s just …
Somewhere, there’s a”Max and Ruby” episode that involves gingerbread. I haven’t seen it but Boots has, and it set him clamoring to make houses. Foolishly, I promised him last week that we would over the …
This is going to be one of those recipes that lands me in trouble some afternoon when one of the guys asks, “But didn’t you just make cookies yesterday?”
Oops. You see, guys, sometimes around 2 …
Normally, I wouldn’t have tried this sugar cookie recipe, because my policy is find something that works and stick with it. I was just the opposite when I baked with eggs, but in the allergy …
Christmas-baking burnout lasted a little longer than usual this go-round. By the time Boots was begging for cookies Saturday, it’s been going on six weeks since I’d last seen an Air Bake.
At least I think …
No-bake oatmeal cookies are probably the ideal baking-on-training-wheels recipe.
It’s the first cookie I made by myself after the recipe made the rounds during my pre-teen years. It requires only one pan, no baking sheets and …
I never could figure out who cookie-mix gift packs were aimed at.
Think about it: If you don’t like to bake, adding a few ingredients and turning on the oven is going to be too much …
This recipe makes a lot. As in, half it unless you’re on a serious sugar bender. Or plan to freeze part of it. Or leave them all in the cookie jar and make a serious …
The guys’ 11-year-old cousin proclaims these “the best cookies she’s ever made.”
That might be a bit misleading: they’re also the only cookies she’s ever made.
Slightly deceptive endorsement aside, it is a good cookie. Crunchy on …
Take a candy, wrap cookie dough around it, bake, swirl in frosting and shower with sprinkles: It’s a Christmas cookie just made for kids to make a mess with.
The recipe comes from “Betty Crocker’s Baking …
Sometimes you can tell a recipe’s going to be evil just by its name: Seven-layer bars, seven deadly sins. Coincidence? No.
These cookie bars have no nutritionally redeeming qualities — I refuse to count graham-cracker crumbs …
It’s amazing sometimes what you’ll find digging around in the archives — and when it comes to recipes, my archives rival the Library of Congress.
This week, when I was poking through a fishing-tackle box that …
Nothing says the holidays like a plate of fresh Spritz.
Except these cookies are way too good to confine them to Christmas. We eat them year-round. I used to make them for other holidays parties at …
The world knows this Christmas cookie as Cherry Winks. I call them Becki’s D*** Cookies.
Becki is the daughter of a former co-worker who also happens to be one of the genuinely sweetest people on this …
Once in a while — but not often, because I’m not a fan of failure — I’m up for a “double-dog dare you” recipe. One that will earn baking bonus points for substituting two allergens …
This recipe was a childhood Christmas classic. We didn’t think twice about candy in cookies, because Mom also made an orange-slice cake every year.
I’d forgotten about it for ages until a friend wondered last year …
I feel like I’m lobbying for a job on the Molasses Promotions Board, but gingerbread isn’t just for Christmas — at least not in our house.
Except it travels incognito, because Big Guy would immediately …
This is based on a recipe from Kraft Foods clipped from TV Guide long ago — remember when they used to do those inserts around the holidays?
I revived it recently when manufactured food paranoia threw …
This is another adapted from Martha Stewart’s evil Cookie of the Day email that is going to be solely responsible for my letter to Santa pleading for a new wardrobe because nothing fits anymore.
It’s a …

I’d recommend using a stand mixer if you have one. The batter’s a little stiff …

This recipe was a dream come true when it showed up three years ago in Kraft’s “Food and Family” magazine. An egg-free cut-out cookie! I feared I’d have to spend weeks of frustrating trial and error to come up with something, but it took only a little tweaking to make this one work. The best part: All ingredients are normal stuff you can find at any grocery store.
1 pkg. (8 oz.) cream cheese, softened
3/4 c (1-1/2 sticks) butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
2 tsp. vanilla
2 1/4 cups flour – I used 3 cups if I’m going to roll the dough.
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/4 cup colored sugar or festive sprinkles
Beat cream cheese, butter, granulated sugar and vanilla in large bowl with electric mixer on medium speed until


There’s often a reason why Big Guy does the seemingly quirky things he does. A reason that makes sense only in his 5-year-old brain, but a reason nonetheless.
