Honey Sugar Cookies
Bread!
Mmm, dinner.
About this Cook
I'm a clumsy cook who by some miracle usually ends up turning out something good! Health and taste are my biggest concerns in the kitchen, cost comes up somewhere down the line... I think. I love using spices and making savoury dinners, but baking is my forte. http://beauty-muse.blogspot.com
My favorite things to cook
My first love as a child aside from reading was baking for my family. Cookies, crepes, muffins, cakes. Love 'em all. Since I learned to bake bread, I don't buy it from the store any more. I also love seafood and vegetarian recipes, as well as Japanese and Greek cuisine. I LOVE spicy food, and keep a big bottle of Frank's Red Hot in the fridge for that.
My favorite family cooking traditions
I love making my Nanny's cream puffs, actually pretty much all of her recipes I like making. I'm working on creating some traditions of my own now!
My cooking triumphs
I learned how to bake bread quite quickly from a 1970's Home and Gardens cookbook, and it always turns out good!
My cooking tragedies
The first time I tried making cream puffs, I added the eggs too soon and they could have put a dent in the wall. To be fair, I was about 10. I've had lots of near misses as well (I can be clumsy and forgetful in the kitchen.) Usually everything turns out well though, I'm pleased to say... except for that one time I tried to make turnovers using Pillsbury Croissant dough and jam... the jam leaked out all over my favourite baking pan. What a mess!

Felix K.'s 'Don't even try to say these aren't the best you've ever eaten, because they are' Chocolate Chip Cookies
These are pretty good! However, I like my old chocolate chip cookie recipe more. I followed this one to a T. Crispy outsides with chewy middles. You'll definitely need a big glass of milk to drink while you eat these.

Cherry Bars
Delicious! I had a half can of cherry pie filling that I needed to use, so I decided to half the recipe. I didn't even miss the half can of filling that I was short! Although I'm sure that it will be even more delicious with the full amount of filling. I baked in a 9x9 inch brownie pan. I also was out of almond extract (horrors!) so I used lemon extract in place of it... was very good. Thanks for the easy recipe! I'm excited to try this with blueberry filling as well!

Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies
Amazing! I used 1 cup brown sugar with 1/2 cup white, and added 1 tsp of salt. I should have baked them a touch longer, but they were still great.
