I’ve been stockpiling cookie dough in my freezer to wait for a quiet day to bake. That day was yesterday – rough estimate, I baked about fifteen dozen cookies! One of my favorites are the sprinkle cookies, they’re like the ones you get in an Italian bakery – only better. There’s lots of vanilla extract and lemon zest in the dough, and who doesn’t love a cookie with sprinkles? You can get the recipe here. Joe’s favorite are the lemon butter cookies which I make just for him. They’re soft, made with lemon juice, lemon zest, cream cheese, and rolled in confectioners sugar. You can get that recipe here. Happy baking!

Perfect dish for a cold winter’s night! Continue reading
