Gingerbread Crumb Cookies

Tina0 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 …

Homemade is really the only way to go. I did warn you that this was something for …

Doughnut Holes and a Doughnut Tree

Tina0 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 …
