Last week I thought, “Oh, look, it’s all cold and wintery outside. Time to make some more Christmas cookies!”
Little did I know these would KILL my Christmas spirit. Ugh. Continue reading

Recipe 55: Cinnamon Caramel Swirl Bars
These might seem like they’re meant for the holidays. That’s because they came from the Sugar and Spice section of the app.
Do I care? Let’s see… Continue reading

Recipe 44: Gingersnap Cookies
I’m watching a Christmas movie to get me in the mood to write this blog. It’s not a good one, but I’ll take what I can get.
This was my first time making gingersnaps (surprise). Let’s see how it goes.
Recipe 38: Chocolate Moose Cookies
Before I begin, I have to say that this blog is now officially natemakescookies.com! Tell all your friends!
I made friends with another dessert blogger, Carrie at cookiecarrie.com. We decided to send each other some goods and this is what I decided on:

Recipe 30: Chocolate Mint Wafers
Happy 30th recipe to me! It’s crazy, considering before I started this blog, I’d probably only baked 30 times in my entire life.
This time I made Chocolate Mint Wafers. Although this is in Martha’s “Holiday Cookies” section, I wanted them now.
Why? Well, these are basically Thin Mints and those snotty little Girl Scouts aren’t selling cookies this time of year!
I omitted the nonpareils for a less-Christmasy look. Continue reading
Recipe 24: Chocolate Chip Cookies
Chocolate Chip Cookies. A f’ing legend. You may recall that I’m afraid of them. I’ve screwed up a lot of batches of chocochip cooks in my day. I figure I’m ready, though. These look delicious and will be fine.
Cross your fingers for me. Continue reading

Recipe 22: Lemon-Glazed Candied-Ginger Cookies
Crap. I’ve been a bad baker/blogger. It’s been almost a month since my last post. I have baked one batch of cookies in that time, but was too [choose your excuse and insert it here] to post it.
I’ve been wanting to make these ones for a long time, but haven’t been able to find candied ginger. I looked in the spices, in the asian aisle, and in bulk. I finally asked a couple people at Market of Choice and found it in bulk with the dried fruit. D’oh!
Oh, the last ones I made had glaze like this? So what, who cares? Continue reading

Recipe 16: Hugs and Kisses Cookies
Valentine’s Day is approaching and there are a few related cookies in the app. I decided to start with Hugs and Kisses Sugar (and chocolate) Cookies.
2 separate recipes in 1? Martha, you crazy! Or is it me that’s crazy for going for it?
