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

Peanut Butter Oat Bites
Tweet A recipe from the April 2011 issue of All You (original here).

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.

Paula Deen’s Magical Peanut Butter Cookies
Tweet These arent exactly the kind of cookie that you typically associate with Paula Deen—theyre sugar-free, and theres 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 […]
