Earl Grey Tea Cookies

This week’s recipe is a tea cookie in the truest sense. As long as people have been drinking tea, they have also put it in food. Chefs use brewed tea as a braising liquid or to… Continue

Vanilla Bean Cookies

It’s so easy, in the days before Christmas, to get caught up in the rush of decorating and gift-buying and forget the simple, yet important, meaning of the holiday.

Gingerbread Cookies

Gingerbread, that traditional Christmas treat, has been a favorite at least since the 15th century; Queen Elizabeth I honored important guests by having gingerbread figures made in their likeness. Through the centuries gingerbread has been used as medicine, as home decoration, even as money. Not surprisingly, given its long history, there ar… Continue

Hanukkah Cookies

There are many things I love about this time of year, but the ever-shrinking days and lengthening nights are not among them. I comfort myself with the thought that, with the winter solstice just a few short weeks away, the trend will soon reverse.… Continue

Shimmery Tropical Fish Cookies

The other day, I was in a craft store picking up some supplies and, near the jars of food coloring, some small tubes of shiny decorating dust caught my eye. I must confess, although I’ve been baking and… Continue

Mincemeat Tarts

Though some people wrinkle their noses at mincemeat, I’m not ashamed to say that I love it. I particularly like a slice of mincemeat pie with a wedge of buttery cheddar, although whipped cream and vanilla ice cream are welcome, too. M… Continue

Maple-Walnut Cookies

Today the sky is that particular shade of steel gray that seems unique to November. Looking at it reminds me we’re about to turn the corner into winter, even though the thermometer reads 51. But still, signs of life… Continue

Coconut Cookies

It’s hard to believe, but snow has already fallen all around the state of Vermont. Although it soon melted again, the flurries were enough to remind us what’s just around the corner—time to think about changing the tires over and getting the snow shovels out from under all the gardening equipment. A few ski resorts have started blowing their own… Continue
