Tweet Last year, I posted 25 Cookies of Christmas. I’ve always loved advent calendars, and the cookie recipes mailed out by the folks at Taste of Home and Food Network inspired me to create my own list. I wanted to continue the tradition this year, but knew that finding 25 more cookie recipes would be […]

S’mores Cookies Bars
Tweet A recipe from the May 2011 issue of All You (original here). The note with the recipe explains, “Graham cracker crumbs, marshmallow topping, and milk chocolate chips baked into a bar is a fun twist on this iconic graham cracker dessert.” Ingredients 2 cups all-purpose flour 2 cups graham cracker crumbs 1 teaspoon baking […]
Peanut Butter Oat Bites
Tweet A recipe from the April 2011 issue of All You (original here). The note with the recipe explains, “These delicious treats are best served with a tall glass of milk.” That’s true of most cookies though. Ingredients 2 tablespoons unsalted butter 2/3 cup creamy natural peanut butter 1/4 cup confectioners’ sugar 3 tablespoons honey […]
Chilled Chocolate-Peanut Butter Cookies
Tweet A recipe from the July 2011 issue of All You (original here). The note with the recipe explains, “Simple to make and costing less than 10¢ per serving, dessert does not get any cheaper than this! For variety, you can use a different type of cereal, or swap chopped nuts for the coconut.” Ingredients […]
Raspberry Blondies
Tweet A recipe from the August 2011 issue of All You (original here). The note with the recipe explains that “These blondies will smell amazing when they’re fresh out of the oven, but resist the urge to jump right in. For easier cutting, cover and refrigerate blondies for at least 1 hour or up to […]
Monster Cookies
Tweet For Christmas day, there’s nothing like Monster Cookies, the best in over-indulgent cookies. I found the recipe five years ago in Paula Deen & Friends: Living It Up, Southern Style. I made them for the cookie exchange at work that year, and have returned to the recipe whenever I want the perfect treat. Monster […]
Oatmeal Carmelitas
Tweet This recipe comes from someone I worked with at NCTE, Sharon. She brought them to a cookie exchange we had at the office, and I became thoroughly addicted. Oatmeal Carmelitas are the twenty-fourth of my 25 Cookies of Christmas. Ingredients Crust 2 cups all-purpose or unbleached flour 2 cups quick-cooking oatmeal 1½ cups brown […]
Pineapple Cookies
Tweet Another cookie from my great grandmother, Pineapple Cookies are a special treat. They’re the kind of old-fashioned cookie that you’re not likely to get unless you can make them yourself. The recipe was passed to us by my mother’s father’s mother, Kate. Pineapple Cookies are the twenty-third of my 25 Cookies of Christmas. Ingredients […]
S’mores Snackin’ Cups
Tweet Want s’mores, but don’t have a campfire handy? This oven-warmed treat is an easy alternative (and a good bit less messy). S’mores Snackin’ Cups, another Girl Scourt recipe, are the twenty-second of my 25 Cookies of Christmas. Ingredients 1 (14-ounce) package graham crackers 6 Herskey’s chocolate bars ½ (10.5-ounce) bag mini-marshmallows Directions Preheat oven […]
Paula Deen’s Magical Peanut Butter Cookies
Tweet These aren’t exactly the kind of cookie that you typically associate with Paula Deen—they’re sugar-free, and there’s not a stick of butter in sight! I have no idea why the recipe works (where is Alton Brown to explain it?), but it does. The original recipe is available from The Food Network. Magical Peanut Butter […]
