Churros con chocolate in cookie form are a fun addition to a party spread. Plus, Cinco de Mayo is tomorrow and if you can't find real churros, these buttery, cinnamon-sugar cookies with or without chocolate are a festive way to celebrate.
Inspired by the peanut butter chocolate kiss cookies that, to me, have always seemed so fitting for Valentine's Day, these little Hershey's kiss gems even fit the color scheme for the big day of hearts. And the melt-in-your-mouth vanilla sugar cookie makes a neutral base that can work with any color or flavor of Hershey's kiss, for any time of year.
Minnie & Mickey Mouse rainbow cookies added color to the treats table at my son's Mickey Mouse Clubhouse birthday party and dog bone cookies were the perfect way to include Pluto in the festivities. Both cookies were simple, festive additions to the dessert spread.
The pastel colors of the naturally-dyed buttercream frosting are perfect for Easter. And my son loved yet another way to decorate Easter eggs.
We don't have a shamrock cookie cutter so we improvised with green hearts and iced a stem on the plate. Spinach juice gave the powdered sugar glaze its beautiful natural green color.
Given my son's ongoing interest in all the colors of the rainbow, I decided to incorporate the rainbow into our dessert. A thin, chewy sugar cookie topped with refreshing lemon curd makes the sun and an array of summer's fruits makes the rainbow.
These sugar cookies have always been favorites of mine. Do not be deceived by their thickness because though they are thin they are not hard and crispy. But they aren't puffy and cake-like, either. They are soft and chewy and will melt in your mouth with their wonderful vanilla-infused sugar flavor.
For Valentine's Day give your someone special heart sugar cookies that are made and decorated with love {and yummy buttercream frosting!}. Your kids can also have fun decorating them for Valentine's treats.
These sugar cookies are soft, chewy and have that buttery vanilla flavor for which sugar cookies are known and loved.
The Oregon Ducks football team has made it to the BCS National Championship game. I made these cookies to commemorate the special occasion. GO DUCKS!
