Chewy Lemon Sugar Cookies #SundaySupper

March 30, 2014 ·

Chewy Lemon Sugar Cookies are the ultimate chewy sugar cookie with a lemon twist. These are a perfect Springtime treat to welcome the season!

While it may technically be spring, Minnesota temperatures remain chilly (think single digits, brr!) It is this time of year, the transition from winter to spring, that lemon desserts are wonderful. Berries are not quite in season, and lemon is like a bite of sunshine, all bright and cheery. Add lemon to the ultimate chewy sugar cookie, and it’s Springtime perfection in cookie form….

Mocha Truffle Cookies

December 17, 2013 ·

Mocha Truffle Cookies combine the classic chocolate and coffee pairing into a tasty little cookie. Easy to make, perfect for any occasion!

Whenever I think about my grandma, aside from her baking prowess, two things come to mind. Wherever we went, we were always together, like joined at the hip together. I thought she was always following me, and I overheard her say how she thought it was cute how I always followed her. One thing for certain was how much we both loved coffee! After dinner, she and I would often enjoy a little cup of decaf together. I remember one of the last Christmases with her, we were sitting at the table, holding our dainty cups of coffee. She looked at me and not so subtly whispered ‘you know what we need with coffee? chocolaaaaaaate!’ It makes me smile just to think about it. She was so funny and so right on! The combination of chocolate and coffee is up there with chocolate and peanut butter or chocolate and milk (or chocolate and chocolate!) …
