  • Grandma’s Danish Sugar Cookies

    Grandma’s Danish Sugar Cookies

    I received a copy of A Cookie to Celebrate by Jana Douglass for review. All opinions are my own. Grandma’s Danish Sugar Cookies is a family recipe passed down the generations.

    Grandma's Danish Sugar Cookies is a family recipe passed from one generation to the next, and loved by friends too!

    Family recipes. We cherish those meals passed down from generation to generation. The secret sauce, special ingredient, and particular ways to handle the food were written with love for a family that has continued to grow.

    Unfortunately, I don’t have very many of these recipes. My grandmothers were both fantastic cooks, but recipes were not written down and shared too often.

    Danish Sugar Cookies passed on from my great grandmother.

    So a little over a year ago, my childhood BFF reached out and asked for my mom’s sugar cookies recipe. She claimed them to be the best she’s ever had, and wanted to make them with her children for the holidays. Not remembering the days of cookie baking myself, I didn’t have the recipe.

    A quick call (just kidding, calls with my mom are never quick) and I had the recipe written down along with it’s history. The sugar cookie recipe my mom always used came from her grandmother, my great grandmother and was for Danish Sugar Cookies. I had no idea, but it’s only made these cookies even sweeter.

    Family recipes are such a treasure. These Danish Sugar Cookies were handed down from one generation to the next.

    My friend received the recipe, made them with her kids, and let me know they were just like she remembered. I was glad I could help bring those good memories back into her family.

    It took me a year, but I finally decided it was high time I make these cookies. Even if sugar cookies aren’t my favorite, I would still have fun making and then decorating them.

    Thanks to A Cookie To Celebrate by Jana Douglass, I felt confident in my ability to decorate these cookies. They deserved to look as special as their history, and it helped me learn a new skill!

    If you’ve wanted to learn cookie decorating, but feel overwhelmed with online tips and How-to’s I would highly suggest Jana’s book. It’s straight forward, funny, and feels like your best friend is walking you through each step.

  • Peanut Butter Munchies Cookie Recipe

    Peanut Butter Munchies Cookie Recipe

    Chocolate peanut butter cookies filled with peanut butter create Peanut Butter Munchies.

    Chocolate cookie with a Peanut Butter filling - it's a Peanut Butter Munchie
     

    A Peanut Allergy

    Guess what!! A couple weeks ago I took Lincoln in to the allergist to do an oral challenge with Peanut Butter. He had been diagnosed a year ago as having a peanut allergy, along with a few other food allergies. 
     
    As far as we knew though, he had never reacted to peanuts, but just had a strong aversion to them. So when his most recent tests came back inconclusive, the only way to know for sure was to feed him peanuts. 

     
    This is of course done in a controlled environment, at the allergists office, so that were he to have a reaction, immediate care could be given. Lucky for us, we walked out about 3.5 hours later knowing he can eat peanuts just fine – even if he doesn’t actually like them.
     
    The kicker to this new diagnosis (or is it an undiagnosis?) is that he should now eat peanuts a few times a week to keep the peanut allergy from coming back. Unfortunately, he still really does not like peanuts.

    Trying out Peanut Butter

    I came across this recipe for Peanut Butter Munchies in the blog archives, and thought just maybe I could tempt him with a chocolate cookie that happens to have peanut butter in it. The trick almost worked. He took a bite or two, then looked at me and asked what else was in it. I asked him if he liked it. He said he sort of liked it. So I encouraged him to eat the whole thing before telling him what was inside. 
     
    However, I have 4 other kids, and most can’t hold their tongues. When he again asked me what was inside, his sister chimed in “It’s peanut butter! Isn’t it great!” That was the end of that cookie. He refused to eat the rest of it, claiming he never actually liked it. Awe well, a bite or two is still something, and will hopefully keep any peanut allergy from returning.

    In the process, you all get to benefit from prettier pictures of the cookies and a more accessible recipe card! I hope you enjoy these as much as the rest of my family did. The original recipe source is unknown as I had this written down in an old recipe collection. Although, it was copied wrong, so this is my personal take on the original.

  • Almond Butter Cookies Recipe

    Almond Butter Cookies Recipe

    Everyone loves Peanut Butter Cookies, especially when you add a little chocolate kiss to the top, but have you ever tried to mix it up with Almond Butter? These Almond Butter Cookies are a good alternative if you’re looking for a way to use up some Almond Butter. 

    Grab this recipe for Almond Butter Cookies.

    It was last fall and my friend messages me about this deal she found on Pinterest for free Almond Butter. I love free food, especially trying new foods that I wouldn’t otherwise buy. So I signed up to get the free Almond Butter, and it eventually showed up in a box much too large for the actual butter, but whatever, it’s another box for the kids to imagine with. 

    Go ahead and raise your hand if you signed up for this deal too!

    Our first decision was to replace the Peanut Butter in Venice’s sandwiches. She loves her plain PB sandwiches with globs of the butter unspread on white bread. That turned out quickly to be a no-go. Add some jelly? Nope. The kids still wouldn’t go near it. 

    So for the next 2 months, this Almond Butter sat in our pantry as we reached around it for our constant favorite, Peanut Butter. Then one day, I decided I had the energy to make Peanut Butter Cookies for an after school snack. I started mixing everything together, but when I went to grab for the PB, it was gone! All I had left was the dreaded Almond Butter.  

    Almond Butter Cookies - the only tasty way to eat Almond Butter.

    I couldn’t let my energy go to waste. So I popped open the jar and decided Almond Butter shouldn’t really change our favorite Peanut Butter Cookies too much.  I mixed them up, placed the pans in the oven, and then texted my friend – 

    Almond butter should be able to replace Peanut Butter in cookies right?

    She laughed, and then told me she didn’t think it would work. Turns out she was experiencing the same issue in her house. The Almond Butter we were both so excited to get for free, had sat in her pantry with constant avoidance. In her opinion, I had probably just ruined my cookies by adding the Almond Butter. Too late to go back, though, I tried to stay optimistic that the Almond Butter cookies would come out tasty. 

    Almond Butter Cookies are approved by 4 year olds.

    You guys!!! Don’t take it from me alone, ask the 4-year-old. These Almond Butter Cookies are good! Now, are they better than Peanut Butter cookies? No. They also don’t keep nearly as long, so only make in smallish batches, and eat them the same day. After a day they get pretty hard. I personally like my cookies soft. The girls came home from school and laid into these cookies without even asking what kind they were. After all, they still look like Peanut Butter cookies, just a bit darker.

  • Peppermint Cheesecake Sugar Cookie Cups

    Peppermint Cheesecake Sugar Cookie Cups

    Sugar cookies, cheesecake, and a delicious hint of Peppermint – what could be better than combining them all into a Peppermint Cheesecake Sugar cookie cup? That’s what I thought too. 

    peppermint Cheesecake Cookie Cups

    When Minerva Dairy reached out to me and asked if I had a fantastic cookie recipe to share, I had to think about it. I make cookies. Often from a recipe I’ve pulled somewhere else, but I do make them. Then I remembered about a year ago I took my favorite sugar cookie recipe and formed them into these little cookie cups, and filled them with cheesecake. The kids and adults went crazy for them, and couldn’t stop sneaking cookies when no one was looking. 

    With the holidays upon us, I couldn’t help but recreate them again only this time using peppermint as the flavor to usher in the holidays. It helped that my neighbor also gifted me some mint extract she was no longer going to use, and I had also just picked up a large bucket of soft mints to fill the candy jar. 

    Peppermint Cheesecake Sugar Cookie Cups

    When making these cookies, the most difficult part is getting the cookie to smoosh down in the center to form the cup. I’m sure there are many tools in your kitchen you could find to fit perfectly, but in my kitchen, it’s the handle of my lemon juicer. Dip it in powdered sugar then begin smooshing. It will most likely take a couple of dips to get through the whole pan, but you’ll end up with beautiful cookie cups.

  • Meet Your Neighbors Before an Emergency Strikes

    Meet Your Neighbors Before an Emergency Strikes

    You never know when an emergency could strike close to home. Get out and meet your neighbors today.

    Tips for meeting your neighbors before an emergency strikes

    When you see emergency vehicles at your neighbors house, what do you do? You don’t actually know them. You wish you did because you want to be the kind of neighbor that knows everyone and is there to help. Whether it be borrowing a cup of sugar, or running them to the hospital. I want to know my neighbors, and I want them to know me. 

    That happened here last week. Mark was home and outside playing in the snow with Lincoln. He saw the ambulances come and thought it was at our one neighbor’s home who we do know pretty well. The two homes look very similar, which on our street of old homes is unique. He yelled for me to come out. Thinking I should run over and see what happened. 

    When we realized it wasn’t the neighbor we knew, we just kind of stood there. Now what? Should we still check on them? See if there was anything we could do as a neighbor? We knew absolutely nothing about this neighbor, yet we felt compelled to do something. So I called our friend who lives right next door and asked if she knew anything. She did, but not much. She’s an older single woman. Her kids all live out of the state. She was sitting up and talking to the Medics. 

    Since she left in the ambulance there really wasn’t anything we could do. Except wait, and wonder if I could have been a better neighbor. So I turned to my awesome friends, who haven’t moved around as often as I, and asked if they knew their neighbors and what their best tips were for getting to know their neighbors.

    Be the first to make contact. When you see someone moving in, don’t wait for them to introduce themselves, go say hi! Offer to help unload the truck, or bring by some dinner. If you are the one moving in, don’t wait for your neighbors to stay hi first. Once the move in has settled, head on over and introduce yourself!

    Service. Service is my favorite way to meet new people, but it never has to be a big production. Helping rake leaves, shovel snow, or running their newspaper up to the porch are just a few simple tips we can all do, and will help you meet those neighbors. One day we noticed our neighbor who we’ve not actually met, but know lives alone – yes it would appear most of our neighbors are single women – had newspapers collecting at the bottom of her drive. I sent the kids over to carry them up to her porch. She didn’t answer the door, possibly they didn’t knock either, but now we feel a slight connection to her. 

    Neighborhood Party! This is probably my favorite idea ever! Once we get warmer temps I think we’ll plan a neighborhood party. We have the backyard for it. It’s a great reason to go knocking on your neighbors doors too!

    Welcome new neighbors with a heart attack!

    HeartAttack. Similar to t.p.’ing, but more likely received with more joy on both ends. I love this idea Amber from Busy Creating Memories shared with me. Write nice notes to your neighbor and tape them all over their garage, front door, etc. It could be a welcome to the neighborhood, or “hey we’d love to get to know you more and these are the things we’ve noticed about you”!

    Get Outside and Be Seen. This was the 2nd most frequent answer from my friends. Spend time outdoors. Let your neighbors see you. Say hi whenever you can. If your neighbor has kids invite them to play with yours. I know I need to be better with this one!

    Bring Cookies. The number one answer given by friends online was to bring cookies! No one turns down a plate of cookies, and you really need no excuse to bring them over. So bake up some cookies, and take them over. Maybe whip up a little “Neighbor Card”, to include your phone number and house number so if they ever want to call or stop by but can’t remember which house you said you lived in – I can’t tell you how many times people tell me where they live, and have it not stick in my brain – they have it handy!

    When leaving for book club last night I saw a car parked and lights on at the “ambulance home”, so I think I’ll bake up some cookies and go introduce myself.

    Do you know your neighbors?

  • Panlevi: Aruba sponge cookies

    Panlevi: Aruba sponge cookies

    This month’s Food of the World has us visiting Aruba. I’ve been pretty excited about all these tropical places we’re visiting this year, when of course life got ahead of me. Way ahead of me! Thankfully, Mireille from The Schizo Chef, has an Aruba heritage and was able to help me out with a recipe this month, saving me time digging through recipes. Bonus, it was the perfect first day of school snack as well.

    Panlevi are cookies from Aruba. With simple ingredients, kids will love these.

    Mmm don’t those look great?! You know what’s really awesome, though, these cookies mix up and bake real simple. Texture wise, it’s not your normal cookie – crispy outside, but semi spongey inside. I can’t really tell you how mine compare to others though, since there are only 2 other online recipes for Panlevi and they are exactly the same as the one I used, and have no pictures!

  • Alfajores: Peruvian Shortbread Sandwich Cookies

    Alfajores: Peruvian Shortbread Sandwich Cookies

    I don’t feel I should write anything with this post. These cookies were perfect. Oh so amazingly perfect. When looking at cuisine from Peru, I wasn’t sure what I wanted to cook. I didn’t really want to bake, but these cookies caught my eye. Perhaps it was the dulce de leche? Or maybe because I keep all the ingredients stocked?

    Whatever the reason, I am so glad I chose to bake up these Alfajores for Food of the World this month. .One little plus, my kids only sort of like them, leaving more for Mark and I. Actually, that’s a semi lie. My kids love the cookie part, it was once I added the dulce de leche they turned them down.

    But that doesn’t really matter. What matters is that I’ve personally never had a tastier cookie sandwich. It’s a wonderful short bread with lots of flavor that is enhanced with the filling. I used this recipe from Spark Recipes. So I’ll just send you over there, but leave my tips here.

    TIPS

    • Add 1/2 tsp Almond Extract when you add the eggs. 
    • Make dulce de leche with a can of Sweetened Condensed Milk. Submerse in a pan of water, cover, and boil for 3 hours. Periodically replace any water that has evaporated. 
    • Crush banana chips, and roll the edges of the cookie sandwich in the crumbs for a more decorative cookie. 

  • Peanut Butter No-Bake Cookies

    Peanut Butter No-Bake Cookies

    Whether it’s the middle of summer, or you just don’t feel like pre-heating your oven, these Peanut Butter No-Bake Cookies are a crowd pleaser every single time. This post contains affiliate links and I will be compensated if you click through and make a purchase.
     
    These are Mark’s absolute favorite cookies! He often asks me if we have any oats so he can whip up a batch.  I once bought a 20lb bucket of quick cooking oats so the answer could always be yes. Now, I just add more oats when the bucket starts to get low.
     
    These were very commonplace in my childhood, and now they get to be a part of my kids’ memories too. Granted, with a recent diagnosis of a nut allergy (both tree nuts and peanuts), Lincoln skips enjoying these with us, but to make it up for it I always make sure to have another treat on hand for him. Or sometimes I’ll even make our Peanut Free No-Bakes just for him.
     
    For other tasty variations, try exchanging the Peanut Butter for your favorite sandwich spread. We love them with Nocciolata, Nutella, Almond Butter, and more! There’s really not a wrong way to eat these cookies.

  • Foodie Friday – Rodelle baking

    Foodie Friday – Rodelle baking

    At the beginning of the year I found I was a grand prize winner of the Rodelle baking challenge. For the rest of the year I wil be receiving a box of Rodelle goodies each month. I got my January box last weekend. I was so giddy with excitement, Mark just rolled his eyes at me. Really he’s just waiting for the KitchenAid that was also a part of the prize.

    Why yes, that is a hand written letter to me! Rodelle has really impressed me with their commitment to families, baking, and making memories!

    Oh so many goodies, and just in time for a week of valentines and birthday baking!  Today I’m going to share a chili recipe I found.  It is scrumptious, and has CHOCOLATE in it!  Now one of the big things I do when cooking, is substitute. I often forget an ingredient at the store, or just feel a little lazy, so I improvise. I did that with this Chili recipe. You can see the original recipe at Sweet Country Life

    Sweet Country Chili
    1 lb ground beef
    28 oz can baked beans
    1 can chili
    1 can black beans
    2 cans tomato sauce plus enough water to make 1 quart
    2 TBS brown sugar
    chili powder
    paprika
    cumin
    onion powder
    garlic powder
    1 TBS cocoa powder
    Brown the beef in a large pot. Add the rest of the ingredients. On the spices, I added to my tastes. I use small amounts of chili powder since I am feeding 3 little kids. And I may have added a touch more of the cocoa powder 🙂  Simmer for 30 minutes.  And Voila! You’ve got a tasty chili that even the kids will enjoy! It’s been a few days since I made this, and I’m still eating it for leftovers, it’s that good!
    I’d love to see what you’re cooking up in the kitchen!  Link up and hop around

  • Foodie Friday – Basic Cookie Mix

    Foodie Friday – Basic Cookie Mix

    Foodie Friday
    Every friday we will share a recipe on our blogs. At the end of the post we encourage you to link up your recipes! Let’s get cooking!
    I was looking for a Peanut Butter Cookie recipe the other day, and finally (out of my stacks and stacks of cookbooks) found one in a book called Deseret Recipes (published by the LDS church).
    To make the Peanut Butter Cookies I had to make a Basic Cookie Mix first.
    Basic Cookie Mix
    9 cups flour
    3 cups powdered dry milk
    3 TBS baking powder
    1 TBS salt
    4 cups shortening
    4 cups sugar
    Stir the first 4 ingredients together. In a large bowl cream the shortening. Gradually add the sugar to the shortening. Once it’s mixed, slowly add the dry ingredients. Blend or use a pastry cutter until it is the texture of cornmeal.
    Store tightly covered at room temperature.  Will last for several weeks.
    Now this will make a lot of cookies! I cut my Basic recipe in half, and still made three different batches of cookies.  Today I’d like to share a recipe using the Basic Cookie Mix, for Cinnamon Cookies. What you thought I’d share the Peanut Butter Cookie recipe? I would, but the baking bug hit me, and out of the 3 types of cookies I made, the Cinnamons were definitely the best!
    Cinnamon Cookies
    2 1/2 cups basic cookie mix
    1 tsp vanilla
    1/2 cup sugar
    1 egg, slightly beaten
    1 1/2 tsp cinnamon
    Blend the basic cookie mix, vanilla, sugar and egg.  Form the batter into balls, any size you like, and roll them in the cinnamon.
    Bake at 375 for 12-15minutes.
