There will be red everywhere today! Congratulations to the Chiefs and all the Chief fans! What a game! If you are celebrating your love for the Chiefs or planning a Valentine treat, these Glazed Lemon Cookies would be a delicious choice!

These cookies are light and refreshing….and have a tart lemon flavor. I added a couple drops of yellow food coloring to the frosting to make it a bright yellow and a few heart sprinkles.

The cookie dough has 2 tablespoons of lemon zest, which is the amount you get from about 2 lemons. You rub the lemon zest and sugar together with your fingers until fragrant…makes the cookies so good!

Spring is coming! Tasty spring treat too!

Enjoy your week!

Happy New Year!!! One more day to eat cookies…before your resolution to eat healthier starts! Do you have sprinkles and chips left over from your holiday baking? Here are two recipes that you could make to celebrate the new year!

I often post recipes from Sally’s Baking Addiction and her Cake Baker Chocolate Chip Cookies will not disappoint. These soft chocolate chip cookies are made “ready to party” with the addition of sprinkles. The Chocolate Crinkle Sprinkle Cookies are from The Pretty Dish cookbook by Jessica Merchant-they are fudgy, chewy, rich and gooey! Use different sprinkles for different holidays or celebrations. Delicious cookie recipes to add to your collection.

For the Cake Batter Chocolate Chip Cookies, you start by creaming the butter and sugars, add the egg, add vanilla, add sifted dry ingredients, stirring just to combine.

Add the sprinkles and chocolate chips, a combination of white and semi-sweet chocolate chips make really pretty cookies. Cover and chill dough.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees and roll the dough into balls, shape cookie dough balls to be “taller” more than wide. Bake 10-12 minutes.

Once baked, press a few more chips into the tops of the cookies.

So pretty and festive!

Perfect for you New Year’s party – or any party – or any day! For complete directions and the recipe, click on the link below:

Another fun recipe for your New Year party is Chocolate Crinkle Sprinkle Cookies. These are like the Chocolate Crackle Cookies that you love at Christmas, except that you roll the cookie dough in sprinkles instead of powdered sugar.

You can also vary the sprinkles on these for different holidays or special occasions. How cute are these? For complete directions and the recipe, click on the recipe below:

It just wouldn’t be Christmas without baking some Peanut Blossoms! The peanut butter, the sugary cracked crust – and the chocolate Hershey kisses are all wonderful parts of these holiday cookies.

There are many variations of these and so many different recipes, but the one I attached at the bottom is the one that our family has been making for years.

These Peanut Blossom cookies are one of our Christmas traditions. We always made enough for our family and some extras to share. Wouldn’t your friends and neighbors love to have some of these? Have fun getting our your favorite holiday recipes and sharing them – and of course eating them! Enjoy!
