In a continuation of one of our slowest rounds of the 12 Days of Christmas Cookies, I’m finally getting around to my fifth cookie of the season… I’ve been sending all of these cookies to the office with Eric, so his co-workers have become my test kitchen, offering suggestions, critiques, and (thankfully) compliments. One of…
homemade oreos.
So, it’s December 16, and we’re only on our fifth of the 12 Days of Christmas Cookies. Whoops. If you missed Days 1-4, check out my Chocolate Thumbprints with Bourbon Caramel and Sea Salt, Brown Butter Pecan Sandies with Chocolate, and Maple Shortbread, as well as Becca’s Peppermint Stars with Dark Chocolate Drizzle (she’s revived…
maple shortbread.
Today’s 12 days of Christmas cookies post is dedicated to Canada and our trip to the Great White North back in June. If you’ll recall warmer, drier days with me here for a minute, let’s return to Vancouver Island. Let’s forget about the little triathlon and focus on the Canadian fun. Paddleboarding, backpacking, eating maple…
brown butter pecan sandies with chocolate.
Let’s talk about Christmas movies. I assume that most folks have a list of movies they like to watch each holiday season. I tend to like my holiday movies to lean toward funny, rather than heartwarming, since I spend much of the holiday season crying through Christmas commercials (has anyone seen the one where the…
chocolate thumbprints with bourbon caramel and sea salt.
It’s December! And although I feel like I just put away the butter and sugar from last year’s 12 Days of Christmas Cookies, somehow it’s already time to lead you into another sugar coma. For those of you who are new to the blog, every year, my pal Becca and I bake way too many…
baked apple cider donut squares.
Okay, I’m cheating on my last day of Christmas cookies. Once again, donuts tempted me out of the actual cookie-baking tradition. But I made these donuts into squares, rather than the traditional donut shape in an attempt to fool you into believing they are actually more like cookies. Let me explain why I NEEDED to…
cheery nutella bars.
Look out. Nutella again. I suppose it’s wrong to post two Nutella-loving recipes in a row, but it’s Christmas and time to throw caution to the wind. Plus, these are yummy. And ridiculously easy. And when it has been raining for 3 days straight, and 60 mph winds are whipping at your window, you need…
nutella-stuffed cinnamon sugar donuts.
I’m cheating on the 12 Days of Christmas Cookies. These are obviously not cookies. But before you think I’ve abandoned the cause, let me tell you that these essentially work in the same way that cookies do, okay? They are small, like a cookie. They are easily transported to a holiday party, like a cookie….
fudgy mocha cookies.
First of all, typing “fudgy” looks super weird. I had to double check the spelling on that one. In case you were wondering, the powers that are the internet tell me that “fudgy” isn’t even a word, but if I choose to use it as such, “f-u-d-g-y” is the correct spelling. Second of all, I…
whiskey cinnamon cookies.
Remember the whiskey cinnamon rolls? Those were awesome. And they’ve become a legend in the Ringer house. So, when I started brainstorming cookies for this year’s 12 Days of Christmas cookies, Eric suggested a cookie based on those cinnamon rolls. And the idea blew my mind. So much so that I couldn’t stop thinking about…
chubby hubby cookies.
It’s December 1, and that means it’s time for the 12 Days of Christmas Cookies! My pal, Becca, and I started this little baking tradition a few years back (when we were just little college kids baking our way through finals). We were inspired by the Food Network’s 12 Days of Christmas Cookies, but quickly…
meringue cookies.
So we’re a few days behind on our Christmas cookie blogging. My apologies to anyone who has been waiting on pins and needles to see what day 8 brought to the kitchen! On the eighth day of Christmas cookies, Food Network sent to me…Anne Burrell’s recipe for meringue cookies. I don’t know that I’ve ever…
