Weeks ago, when the idea of 25 recipes to Christmas came to mind I asked hubby to make a list with his favorite holiday cookies. I didn’t want to make just my favorite treats, but also his own. Later that day he handed me the blank paper saying : I don’t have favorites, maybe some…
Chocolate crinkle cookies (gluten free)
Not that I need an excuse, but when the Holiday season is just around the corner cookies must be baked. Cookie swaps are scheduled, pretty paper boxes are waiting to be filled and given to friends and neighbors or even mailed to far-away family. As you probably know I bake cookies year round, but there’s something…
Nutella eggnog cookies
The day before Thanksgiving and I’m talking Christmas cookies. Some of you might shake your head and think I’m crazy. I’m not going to argue with you there. Sometimes I say that about me too. I just remembered that, since tomorrow it’s Thanksgiving, there won’t be any 12 weeks to Christmas round-up and I have to write…

Cranberry Chocolate Brioche Rolls
What a trip this post has been. Let’s take a walk back in time. Few weeks ago I received an email from Hodgson Mill asking if I was interested in participating in their “Have a GRAIN Holiday” baking contest, using one of their flours. The idea of trying new flours was tempting, especially since they don’t sell it…
Pumpkin kissed brownie surprise cookies
Soft with a rich chocolate taste just like a brownie should be and a melted candy baked inside, these pumpkin kissed brownie surprise cookies are a family favorite Halloween is probably my least favorite holiday.
