I’m sharing a few of my posts from over the years but rest assured, there’s new ones to come.  I found the booklet on Ebay for the sugar cookies I grew up with so many of those will be made and shared.  She would make these, sometimes with a frosting, not a fancy one, then freeze them.  Those and her peanut butter cookies were always in a Stanley (remember that company) bowl and taken on trips if we traveled to family.

MY FAVORITE CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIE

These are made all year round, and what makes them special – a hint of coffee.  But don’t worry if you aren’t a coffee lover, it just adds a layer of flavor – not coffee too much.

TASTE OF COCOA IN A COOKIE

A great chocolate cookie, but add a little melted chocolate or frosting to take this recipe up a notch.
