    Circus Animal Sugar Cookies

    Too old, says who? You are never too old to indulge in the deliciousness that embodies frosted circus animal cookies. The beautiful white and pink frosting, the sprinkles…it’s just all the bliss. Even more so when they are being consumed by none other than myself, hehe; which leads me to the amazingly delicious Circus Animal Sugar Cookies I made the other weekend. Growing up we always had some sort of dessert in the house. I loved this. You see I have a bigger sweet tooth than most would know what to do with, and the only real thing that fixes that hankering is dessert. Common sense right? In an effort…

    Lemon Berry Tarts

    White Chocolate Cranberry Almond Cookies

    It’s cookie season and I can’t seem to get enough. We have house guests this week for Thanksgiving week and what better and easy way to have something sweet for them than to make a batch of these White Chocolate Cranberry Almond Cookies.  I started off with the idea of making White Chocolate Cranberry Cookies minus the almond, however as I got started baking I realized I had no vanilla extract left. Improvising I decided to use some almond extract and make an even tastier cookie. I will make them with almond extract from here on out. There is no turning back from this improvisation.  Events to Make Cookies for: …
