I first tried the recipe for these butter cookies back when I made Strawberry Lemon Butter Cookies at the end of Summer. I just loved how easy the dough recipe was to throw together and it's a wonderful blank slate. At the time, I wrote a note to myself to try a chocolate … [Read more...]

Pumpkin Spice Cheesecake Delight
It's time for pumpkin pie! But if you're like me, you may not be a huge fan of plain old pumpkin pie. I saw this recipe two years ago on Sweet Treats and More and I really wanted to try it, but I couldn't find the Pumpkin Spice pudding flavor anywhere. This year, I … [Read more...]

Patriotic Paper Medallions: Vol. 2, Day 81
