A few weeks ago I was on a roll with the cookie recipes. I made these delicious chewy chocolate cookies with coffee glaze as a part of a 25 days of cookies countdown. When I made those I also made these Chai Spiced Sugar Cookies with Vanilla Bean Glaze and I didn't know which one I would include in that cookie post. I ended up sharing the chocolate ones because they were ready first, which left me extra time to photograph these pretty babies. On a sidenote, I'm obviously into creating a glaze … [Read more...]

Holiday Gingerbread S’Mores
One thing about living in California is that our weather is very different from the rest of the country this time of year. While we might be spoiled and wondering when the "cold front" is going to end (you know, when it's 52 degrees out and the sun is shining but this is like ice weather to us), while the rest of the country is experiencing true winter weather like rain and snow and ICE. I guess that's how I can come up with a dessert for the holiday season that is originally inspired by a … [Read more...]

All opinions are mine alone. #ShareTheHoliday #CollectiveBias I've been on a cookie spree lately, but I figure that during this time of year you can never have too many options when it comes to cookies, right? There's also a lot of seasonal flavors this time of year, and sometimes people can be really opinionated about them. Today it'll be chocolate and peppermint and I know people either love the … [Read more...]
Cherry Pecan Thumbprint Cookies
In the past week or two I've been talking about cookies a lot. I can't help it. 'Tis the season and all, right? Here's the thing. Cookies are pretty easy to make as far as baked goods go. They're small, you can make quite a bit, and they're fairly inexpensive. Technically there's butter, sugar, flour, baking soda, powder or both, maybe some spices, some nuts or chips, sometimes some salt. Pretty much all of these are ingredients typically found in an average kitchen. That's precisely … [Read more...]
15+ Cookie Recipes from Mama Harris’ Kitchen
Want to know what recipes I have in abundance on my site? You guessed it, it's cookies. I'm a baker at heart, and one of the very first treats I started baking was cookies. They're quick, they're easy. They are fun and inexpensive to make and super easy to grab on the go. No cutting a slice and grabbing a plate. Just quick and easy to munch on. I didn't realize just how many different cookie recipes I had until I found out today was National Cookie Day, in December, which also happens to … [Read more...]
Coconut Cookies

All opinions are mine alone. #BakeMagicMoments #CollectiveBias I remember one of my first time making cookies from scratch. I'd heard it was super easy, only a few steps more than the mixes you can buy so I found a few recipes to try. I remember reading through them and one of the first things was to "cream" the butter. Yeah, I had no idea what that meant! I called one of my good friends and asked her what … [Read more...]
Butterscotch Snickerdoodle Cookies
There's certain smells and tastes that take me back to my childhood, and butterscotch is certainly one of the most vivid. My mother used to make this pudding and serve it in the cutest little pudding cups with long stems on them and I just couldn't wait to dig in after dinner. Butterscotch was always my favorite flavor pudding, and now I try to incorporate the luscious flavor into as many treats as I possibly can, it's such a simple but happy memory for me. Recently I wanted to try my hand at … [Read more...]

All opinions are mine alone. #InsideOutEmotions #CollectiveBias At least once a week I head to the store to get necessary grocery and toiletry items, and usually I pick one of my kids to go with me. Last week it was my youngest little guy, RoRo, and the store of choice was Walmart. While we were shopping, he noticed right away that there was a display getting set up for one of our favorite family movies … [Read more...]
