I know it’s not right to pick favorites. Each one should be loved for it’s different, individual qualities, right? But, I can’t help it. These cookies, with their creamy peanut buttery middle and yummy chocolate cookie coat are definitely my favorite cookies this week. Next week? Well, it might be something else. But for today, definitely these. I love how these cookies look a little fancy, but are super simple to make. They really are like magic, the shape that they take, and the way the peanut butter is nicely in the middle It reminds me of the mystery around … Continue reading →

I hope you’re enjoying cookie week! If you have tried either the Thin & Crisp Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies, Soft Ginger Cookies, or Pumpkin Snickerdoodles, please leave a comment saying how they worked for you, and if you made any changes to the recipe.

I found them again on Closet Cooking and I’m glad that I finally got around to making them though, they have … Continue reading →

We have more cookie baking going on here! Have you begun your holiday baking, or organizing your baking yet? Here is another cookie that is simple to make, but the flavour is amazing, Gluten-Free Pumpkin Snickerdoodles. Yum!!  

Cookie baking continues! Today’s recipe is for soft gluten-free ginger cookies. These cookies are a favorite of my families, and I like that because they are quick, easy & cheap to make. All good things in my books. These cookies do taste better the second day, I think all spicy cookies taste better when they  have had a chance to sit a bit and let the spices do their thing.    

Only 13 days until Christmas! Holiday baking is happening! This week The Baking Beauties will be posting cookie recipes everyday to help get you going in the kitchen. Today’s recipe is for a thin, crisp gluten-free chocolate chip cookie. I do have a soft oatmeal chocolate chip cookie that I love, but sometimes, you want something with some crunch to it. That is where this cookie comes in. On another note, you could exclude the chocolate chips, and have just a great crisp oatmeal cookie.   Looking for more Gluten-Free Christmas recipes? Be sure to check out the FREE Holiday … Continue reading →

There is … Continue reading →

This is the last of the recipes that I submitted to the Real Women of Philadelphia Contest. Phew! After this week, we will return to our regular programming, of more great gluten-free recipes, some reviews and yes, even a giveaway! Time to celebrate summer (and the fact that the postal workers aren’t on strike anymore), so look for that early next week. Thanks again to everyone that encouraged me to become part of this contest, it really made me learn a lot of things about myself (like the fact that I prefer to make desserts over appetizers, entrees or side … Continue reading →
