I’ve got a good old fashioned easy sugar cookie recipe for you. The holidays are a popular time of the year to make roll out sugar cookies. It’s fun to cut out all sorts of festive holiday cookie shapes and decorate them to your heart’s content with a variety of colored frosting and sprinkles. I bet it’s a holiday tradition for many of you to bake cookies with your family. After all, the holidays are all about spending time with loved ones (and eating as many cookies as possible). There are a ton of sugar cookie recipes out there. I’m …

Chocolate Crinkle Kiss Cookies
Cookie baking season has officially begun! Usually I have multiple batches of holiday cookies in the freezer by this point in the season but I’m running a bit behind. The past month or so has been pretty busy, which is why I haven’t posted in a while. My baby sister got married last month. It was a beautiful day. Then my husband and I spent eight glorious days in Turks and Caicos. We stayed Seven Stars Resort, which is the same place we went to four years ago. Obviously we loved it enough to return and for good reasons. The …
Snickerdoodles
If cookies were the nifty pictures on a calendar, the snickerdoodle would represent one of the Fall months for sure. I’ve been in a funk with recipe making lately and my husband told me that I was the happiest blogging about cookies. He’s absolutely right. So I made cookies. I’m all about cinnamon and other warm spices this time of the year and I instantly thought about snickerdoodles. They are part sugar cookie, part cinnamon, and all delicious. I’ve never made a snickerdoodle before. I know, right? With all the cookie recipes in my collection, you’d think this would have …
Oatmeal Cookies
Are you ready to meet the best oatmeal cookie ever? Cue the dramatic music. 😉 I’ve made a variety of oatmeal cookies. Some recipes were crap and you’ll never see those here (because I won’t waste your time). Other recipes were great and I still like them for one reason or another. For example, if you’re looking for a banana oatmeal cookie then the whole wheat banana oatmeal cookies are awesome. However, I had yet to find a good classic oatmeal cookie. You know, the good old fashion kind with oats and raisins. No cutting back on butter and sugar. And …
Mini M&M Cookies
Cookies are always a good idea. If you read my blog you’ve probably heard me say that before. Last Sunday, I celebrated Greek Orthodox Easter. There was SO much food and it was all so delicious. Easter is my favorite holiday when it comes to food. My mom makes traditional Greek dishes like pastitsio, spanakopita, lamb, potatoes, and tzatziki. I’ve been known to make a pretty mean pastitsio and spanakopita, too. 😉 Tsoureki (Easter bread) and koulourakia (Easter cookies) are two of my favorite things of all time. All time. I’m rationing out the last few kouralakia that my mom gave me to try to …
