One of our deacons celebrated his Silver Anniversary as a deacon this year and that called for cookies, of course. Why doves? Well, doves bring to mind peace and inspiration and are a common symbol of the Holy Spirit. And silver, of course, is traditionally associated with a 25TH anniversary. So those two elements naturally inspired these dove-shaped cookies decorated with silver embellishments. Thank you for your service, Deacon! May you continue to be filled with God’s grace.

Chewy. Spicy. Sweet. Molasses perfection. Soft Molasses Cookies are a yummy antidote to the post-holiday blahs. You can pair them with a glass of milk OR a cup of coffee or tea. In fact, they’re so perfect that you can eat them all by themselves [and I speak from plenty of experience]. These soft and chewy cookies will warm your cookie-eating heart.

I   Valentines

Valentine’s Day is one of my favorite “cookie” holidays. This year I decided to decorate my creations in a variety of ways to celebrate the sweet side of love ... and to let my inner Cupid out to express the joy of the day. I chose Brown Butter Cookies as my canvas because the flavor is nutty, complex, and irresistible — a lot like love itself.
