Today we are sharing our family’s favorite Butterscotch Gingerbread Cookie Recipe. Although it is pictured here as ghosts, it makes a wonderful traditional Gingerbread man cookie at Christmas. This year is our family’s 18th Annual Pumpkin Carving Party. Although there are lots of things to do at the last minute, I’ve developed a working list …
My Nana’s favorite Christmas cookie has always been Russian Teacakes. When my mom went to visit my Nana last week, she had to make sure to have a double batch of Russian Teacakes to take with her.

One of the greatest gifts my …
I was very excited to see this kefil recipe. It is unlike any cookie I’ve ever made. How cool is that? Chiska shared this recipe and gave us a lovely little story about how it came to her family. I can’t wait to give this a try. Thank you so much, Chiska, for this lovely contribution! I wasn’t sure …
