Pumpkin Cookies with Icing by Nancy Miyasaki

I served these at my October book club along with the Pumpkin Macadamia Bars. They were good, and the icing makes them attractive, but the Pumpkin Macadamia Bars were the bigger hit. That said, they make an attractive combination and it's fun to try one of each. So if you are looking for a nice combination of sweets to put out on…

Molasses Cookies by Glenn

A modernized version of my grandmother's (Eva M. Koehler) molasses cookies--without the pearl ash. One of the great cookie treats of all time. This version is soft, chewy and more cake-like than what you will typically see. The egg wash topping is a truly lost art. For a lot of people this cookie will immediately transport you…

Aunt Betty's Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars by Carolinaheartstrings

To be honest with you, my aunt’s recipe was chocolate chip cookies, not bars, but I decided to make them into bars one evening when I wanted something sweet and did not want to bake endless pans of cookies (her recipe makes about 70 cookies). I used to make these cookies all the time when I was a teenager and I have not made her…

No eggs. No milk. Ingredients you have on-hand. Yup, this recipe was born of innovation late one night when I wanted something sweet. And, at a cost of less than 10 cents per cookie, they're perfect for bake sales or parties. Recipe can easily be doubled or tripled for larger batches and is VERY forgiving of variations. Try…
