Cookies

I like baking cookies and my husband eats them. I got a new book the other day on cookies and I'm going to see if I find anything new. His favorite is chocolate chips so that's easy.

But I want to see what else I might want to do.

Besides sugar cookies, do you have a favorite cookie you'll be making soon?

I am trying a chewy lemon cookie today. If it is good I will post the recipe.

Sorry but I have to vote with husband -- my hubby and I love chocolate chip with pecans and I add oats.

Oh yes please do. Awhile back I was crazy over finding a lemon cookie.

I like to make the traditional ones every year and my childhood favorites but always try to add 1 or 2 new from a magazine or those holiday cookie cookbooks that the magazines, Land O'Lakes and Nestle, etc. put out.

It sort of depends on what flavors you like. I like anything with nuts and chocolate or a new ingredient (to me), so I normally lean towards those.

Here is my Pinterest board with some of the cookies I make. Many are on paper and I haven't linked to them yet unfortunately.

My favorites are molasses ginger cookies. I just took my last batch of lemon spritz cookies out of the oven. I love baking cookies !

I love tea cakes, snickerdoodles, butterscotch toffee, m and m, snickers, Twix, etc. I like adding candy and making candy cookies. Just no raisins please!

This is the Chewy Lemon Cookie recipe

They are good but not as lemony as I thought. I keep lemon zest and juice in my freezer, not sure if that is why or not.

@GenXmuse My aunts used to make tea cakes when I was a little girl so when I hear tea cakes it takes me way back.....

I made these yesterday.

I top them with royal icing.

I've never met anyone who didn't love them.

Yes, me too! I recently rediscovered them and love baking them in my home for my family

My husband’s grandmother gave me a recipe for macaroons that are easy and delicious. While it wasn’t a consideration at the time, I suppose they’re also gluten free. Here’s the recipe for Nana’s Macaroons:

2 egg whites (separate while cold then allow to come to room temperature)

dash salt

1/2 tsp. pure vanilla extract

2/3 cup granulated sugar

1 1/3 cup flaked coconut

Beat the egg whites with the salt and vanilla until soft peaks form.

Gradually add the sugar, beating until stiff peaks form.

Carefully fold in the flaked coconut.

Drop by spoonfuls onto a greased cookie sheet (I recommend using a SilPat liner).

Bake at 325 for 20 minutes.

These cookies are fragile and will only hold for 4 or 5 days.

Recipe can be doubled, but anything more than a double batch won’t work because the meringue will go flat before you finish baking the whole batch.
