Creative Cookies, Delicious Decorating For Any Occasion, Cookie Cook Book

My favorite sweet treat is homemade cookies. They have to be homemade because store bought cookies just do not taste the same. My cookies must be soft and chewy, not crisp. My rule is, take them out of the oven just a hair before they’re done. If they get crisp by mistake we can always dunk them in milk or coffee but that’s not the ideal. How is it at your house? Does your family like their cookies soft or crispy?
Cookies allow for a lot of creativity. There are lots of add-ins that you can use such as chocolate chips, peanut butter chips, raisins, or nuts. My Mom used to send us cookies made with cherry flavored chips. The boys loved those!
Then there are decorated cookies. You can make some fabulous looking cookies with icing and decorations such as jimmies, sprinkles, colored sugars, luster dust, edible glitter, cookie stamps and so much more. My mom and sister and I used to decorate sugar cookies to take to a children’s home at Christmas time. It was a lot of fun working together in the kitchen and sharing our creations with those less fortunate.
Are you a cookie enthusiast like me? Check out the cookie cook book links below for creative inspiration and soon your kitchen will be filled with the sweet, homey aroma of cookies baking.

New Decoupage: Transforming Your Home with Paper, Glue, and Scissors by Durwin Rice

New Decoupage



Decoupage is pretty fun. It’s fun to look for just the right images and colors and fit them all together. I made a couple of pieces as gifts and one for myself and I enjoyed doing it, but I did not know about this book at the time and I didn’t have any instructions. I just dove into the project and didn’t know the right kind of glue and if my project needed a sealant. Durwin Rice is the acknowledged expert on the art of decoupage. He leaves behind the tedious methods of Victorian decoupage and brings the art into the present, making it fun and easy. I own his book now and when I do another decoupage project, I will know exactly what to do. With decoupage you can make a beautiful work of art for your home for not very much money. I love hearts and cherries so I incorporated both into the decoupage piece I made for my home.
