Recipes

On each page of my website I include external links to other cookie artists’ recipes that I’ve tried so that you can visit those creative bakers’ websites. In this section, I’m delighted to share my own family recipes and my versions of recipes that I’ve tweaked, giving full credit to the original, of course, and clearly marking the adjustments and additions that I’ve made.

Matzo Crack has a crispy, flaky Matzo layer, topped with buttery toffee, melted chocolate, toasted pecans, and a sprinkling of sea salt to bring it all together.

These Soft Molasses Cookies are so-o-o delicious and chewy, with bold flavor from all the warm spices. I find it hard to resist them, so on baking day I invite friends over to share the cookie joy...and keep me from eating them all.

This glaze/icing dries hard so you can stack the cookies without damaging the embellishments. You can divide it into several cups and color each differently, then use wet-on-wet decorating techniques for stunning effects.

These Persimmon Bars are a wonderful mixture of fall spices, dates, and nuts with a tart lemony glaze that pulls everything together. I am asked for the recipe almost every time I bring these to a gathering.

My go-to gingerbread cookie is firm on the edges and soft and chewy in the middle. It has a robust molasses flavor and plenty of ginger, cinnamon, cloves, and other spices. This recipe is all that.

These light and fluffy little muffins are dipped in melted butter and then rolled in cinnamon and sugar. They taste like the best cake doughnut you’ve ever eaten and make a wonderful breakfast or late-night snack.

These delicate and crumbly cookies are light and buttery. They are similar to Mexican Wedding Cakes, but Sandies have their roots in Minnesota!
