Gingerbread Crumb Cookies

December 14th, 2023Tina0 Comments

Gingerbread cookie. Crumbs. Where have these been all my life? These cookies are a little high maintenance to make but that’s okay with me at Christmas time because it’s the time of year to show off some impressive cookies. I don’t often show prep pictures anymore but I thought it was good to show you how much crumb to get on there. It kind of looks like a stuffed mushroom, but it’s not. When they come out of the oven they magically look little crumb cakes but in a chewy cookie form. They have subtle gingerbread flavors so even those …

Christmas Dining Room 2023 and The Most Requested Cookie Recipe

December 12th, 2023Tina0 Comments

My husband and I love baking and handing out cookies. Chocolate chip (or M&M) cookies are hands down the most requested cookie no matter what time of the year it is. If you’re lost about where to start your holiday baking, then I recommend you start with these chocolate chip cookies because you can’t go wrong. We also love hosting friends and family, and one place we spend a bunch of time is our dining room. This year it has a rustic/nature/elegant theme. I kept the table center piece very simple. I used whimsical bird accent plates to match the …

No Bake Chocolate Cream Pie

December 7th, 2023Tina2 Comments

It’s the most decadent time of the year and boy does this pie fit the bill. I’m a chocolate lover and even I have to say that this pie borderlines on being almost too chocolate-y … almost. 😉 The chocolate filling is a rich and dense chocolate ganache. You’ll want to cut small pieces, trust me. Think coffee zing times 10 because of all the sugar going on here. The crust is a chocolate cookie crust. Let’s not forget about that whipped topping. Homemade is really the only way to go. I did warn you that this was something for …

Doughnut Holes and a Doughnut Tree

November 30th, 2023Tina0 Comments

Time to make the doughnuts. Does anyone remember that commercial? I saw a photo of a doughnut tree on social media and instantly knew that I had to try to make one for the dessert table at Thanksgiving. It’s a bunch of doughnut holes in the shape of a tree. What’s not to love? I could have bought a few boxes of doughnut holes from the store, but no. Instead, I insisted on making homemade doughnut holes. Maybe it was because I wanted to save money (gosh, they are expensive). Perhaps it was because I knew a homemade version would …

November 16th, 2023Tina0 Comments

It’s Christmas cookie baking season! I’ve made a bazillion (give or take 😉 ) kinds of cookies over the years and it gets harder and harder to find new ones that are worth sharing here. Don’t worry, I do have new ones in store, so stay tuned. This year I thought I’d kick off the cookie fest with a round up of my top 10 of Christmas cookies from Tina’s Chic Corner (in no particular order). Think of it as a one stop shop for all your cookie recipe needs. Enjoy! I love to bring a huge tray of cookies …
