Chocolate Orange Macaroon

This is an interesting little cookie. It’s like a macaroon, but doesn’t follow the typical recipe. Can probably be adapted to a Almond Joy or Pina Colada cookie.

Chocolate Walnut Cookie

This is a very easy cookie to make. It’s a Chocolate Chocolate Chip Walnut Cookie, which has a good flavor and nice cakey texture.

Chocolate Pizzelle

This is an impressive looking cookie that is pretty easy to make. The challenge is that you need a Pizzelle Iron to be able to make them.

Cranberry Scone Cookie

A nice dense cookie with cranberries, toasted pecans, and a touch of orange. The cookie reminds me of a cranberry orange scone.

Shortbread Cookie with Bacon

This cookie is delicate, melts in your mouth, and is bursting with flavor. The use of bacon through out the cookie makes for an interesting play on sweet and savory.

Cinnamon Clove Biscotti is a nice sweet spicy crunchy cookie that goes well with coffee, hot chocolate, or other hot breakfast drinks. It’s an easy and forgiving recipe, but takes a bit of time to make.

The flavor, the texture, the chewiness,Continue reading “Homemade Bagels”

Apple Strudel

Growing up, I have fond memories of the few times that I had a homemade Apple Strudel. Talking with my father, he remembered his mother and aunts making strudel, which gave me some ideas on how a strudel is made. When done right, to borrow a quote, it’s almost like an apple pie on steroids.Continue reading “Apple Strudel”
