Recipe 25: Molasses-Ginger Crisps

A few days passed and I finally cooled off from my Chocolate Chip Cookie fury. Don’t get me wrong, I still want to have a chat with Martha about that recipe, but I must go on.

Recipe 8: Lemon Wreaths

I promised you all that I would try something more difficult this time. Well, I did.

Those look like mini donuts (or if you’re cool – abbreviated as “dones”), but I trick you not, my friends. Those are cookies! Pretty cookies.

This recipe is the most difficult so far. Making rings and dipping in glaze and nonpareils? That’s stressful. Continue reading

Recipe 4: Mocha Slice Cookies
