These almond cookies are very good and taste a lot like macarons ! They are crunchy on the outside but have a softer centre. What I particularly enjoy about this recipe is that it is simple to do and generates a lot of (small) cookies.

Next cookies to fill up my cookie jar: these delightful pistachio snowball cookies. Pistachios are one of my preferred nuts and cookies one of my favourite types of dessert, so it seemed fitting to follow this recipe that combines both. These cookies are fragrant, delicious and have a distinct pistachio flavour without being too overwhelming.

Chocolate Marshmallow Linzer Cookies
The cold is now upon us and I am a big fan of cozying up to a delicious mug of hot chocolate. Since nothing goes better with hot chocolate than marshmallow, I decided to make these chocolate and marshmallow cookies. I don’t know if it is my new oven that I am not used to or perhaps I didn’t put in enough butter, but the cookies came out pretty dry and crumbly.

Apple Cookie Crumble
This is the second dessert of the Thanksgiving weekend. I made this mostly for my sisters, who adore apple crumble. This dessert is very easy to do, which is a big plus. It is also one of those desserts that tastes way better than it looks. When the crumble came out of the oven I was quite surprised as I found that it wasn’t very appetizing.

Double Ginger Wonders
I guess August is the month of the ginger! After the gingerbread cream pie, I followed with this recipe for cookies with a double dose of ginger: fresh and candied! The result was quite satisfying. The cookies were soft and chewy and had a very pronounced ginger taste. If you do not like ginger, these are not the cookies for you. However, if you happen to like ginger, these little treat are marvellous.

Toffee Softies
I realized that it had been a while since I had made cookies. So I made these! These cookies quite resemble, in appearance at least, the Salted Orange Toffee Slices that I made at the beginning of this blog, but they are nonetheless different in taste. Although this recipe was just as simple to follow, these cookies were softer and more chewy than their predecessor, with a predominant taste of butter, sugar and melt-in-your-mouth toffee bits

Snickerdoodles
I will freely admit that I never had a snickerdoodle cookie. Not only that, but I never really knew what they were. I guess I never bothered to look it up. However, following a small pause in my usually very frequent baking, I felt like making cookies that were new to me and I thus made these. Unbeknownst to me during all this time is that snickerdoodles are actually soft and chewy, sugary and sweet, melt-in-your-mouth cookies!

Yield: 2 to 3 dozen cookies Recipe: 33/200 “Back to Baking”, pp. 22 I haven’t baked in a little while. I guess work and responsibilities took over my life these past weeks! Fortunately, I now have more time (if not I’ll make time!) to dedicate to my primary passion of baking. I felt…

Molasses Cookies
I did this recipe because I wanted to make cookies and, quite simply, I hadn’t made these ones yet. As I was preparing to make them, my roommate who was passing by asked what I was doing and ensuing my answer exclaimed that she loves molasses cookies. So I figured that at least one of us would eat them.

Peanut Butter Cookies
I love peanut butter. It smells heavenly, tastes even better and can be used in so many different recipes. For a reason that I cannot fathom, I have however never tried peanut butter cookies. I made this recipe today after wanting some cookies and I simply love these!
