The Oven Broke But She Persisted

By |2020-04-05T18:21:38-05:00April 5th, 2020|cookies, desserts|0 Comments

As if any of us need extra disasters, challenges or roadblocks right now, here they come anyway. At our house, it was the oven. My husband, cradling a raw chicken in his hands, hit the pre-heat button and heard something go POP! And the oven died. He is the handyman type, also the web-savvy type. If things break, he tracks down the hoses and [...]

No-Bake Cookies, With A Twist

By |2019-10-06T19:27:49-05:00October 6th, 2019|cookies|0 Comments

Today’s treat was an excellent grandkid project. In fact, my kids perfected No-Bake Cookies in their tweens. I had only shown them a few kitchen tricks, and pretty soon, I woke up from a lot of Sunday naps and found gleaming chocolate patties cooling on the kitchen counter. Also, the ghosty outline of cookies they'd already eaten. The kids were bored. The kids were [...]

Yes, I Do Love Cookie Dough

By |2019-09-07T21:25:06-05:00September 7th, 2019|cookies, desserts|0 Comments

I slip out of town now and then, and I need friends who will perform my duties at church while I'm gone. I sure want these people to know how much I appreciate them. The last time they helped me out, I delivered a little Edible Cookie Dough (chocolate chip version) to their houses. This stuff is easy and I always have the ingredients [...]

From the Cookie Shop

I gave up on two books this week. So we're going to talk about cookies instead. I recently flew to Utah. I wanted some Utah food. What they do best there is commercialize the homemade food I grew up on. I've had sub sandwiches on fry bread. I've heard about Sodalicious, the soda and cookie chain that some people cannot get enough of. I [...]

Man, These Were Fast!

These Chewy Snickerdoodle Bars came together fast! It was a day I needed fast. Temperatures outside were climbing. Should have picked a cold dessert maybe? Plus, I had a trip to Costco ahead of me, and that's always time-consuming. But before I knew it, they were done! My link to the original recipe is not working, so get it from my recipe [...]

Chocolate Orange Cookies

By |2018-07-29T20:14:07-05:00July 29th, 2018|cookies|0 Comments

These Chocolate Orange Cookies hit you with some intense flavor, and the culprit is good old Kool-Aid. How many years since I shopped for that? I never liked drinking the stuff, never offered it to my kids. It took a pretty good hunt down several aisles of Kroger just to find where they hide it and what the package looks like these [...]

Like Moonshine

I'd love to the be nice lady that brings these Peanut Butter Caramel Bars to choir practice.  After all, they make a big batch and I need help eating them up. At our church building, however, all things peanut are banned. And look how many peanut products we use to make these goodies. We'd all have to sneak out to the parking [...]

It’s My Kind of Fun

Here at Read Fast, Eat Slow, we are celebrating Bake for Family Fun Month. And sometimes, we have to borrow the family. That’s how I got to do a baking day with the V family. When I arrived, Mom informed me that we were baking in teams, with Dad and the boys working on brownies, Mom and the girls making her famous Yummy Bars. [...]

Brookies!

This is a cookie for the indecisive sugar fiend. When you visit the recipe site, you will find a more beautiful sample of the finished product. I used a rather large cookie scoop, and cookies that big take 17 minutes to bake! As for the review of the extra-large book that I know you're all waiting on, I can report that I passed [...]

British Brides Invade US

By |2016-11-13T20:52:49-05:00November 13th, 2016|cookies, good nonfiction|0 Comments

I think I can blame all the unfolded towels and unsorted mail at my house on Duncan Barrett’s and Nuala Calvi’s tidy little history, GI Brides. You all know that we fought a war in Europe in the 1940s, right? Our soldier boys went over to England and, when they weren’t cleaning their guns or repairing their jeeps, they dropped by the dance at the [...]
