A cinnamon flavored slice and roll cookie Is there anyone you see every day, but don't know? They always wave and have a smile on their face? There are several in my community, but one particularly stands out - the school crossing guard. I live just a block from the elementary school and walk my dog past there a couple times a day. He gets to school before the sun comes up and leaves well after the last child has gone home. Every car that goes by or person that walks by is greeted with ...

Creme de Menthe Cookies

Lime Chocolate Chunk Cookies
A tropical take on a traditional cookie When I first saw this Dark Chocolate Chunk Coconut Key Lime Pound Cake on Baker by Nature I knew I had to try it out. What could be better than chocolate, coconut and lime? Not much. Although I haven't had a chance to try this loaf, I recreated some of the flavors in this amazing cookie. This cookie is based off of my Sugar Cookie recipe I shared back in October. It's a simple dough that combines margarine/butter substitute and oil to create a super ...
