Chocolate Chocolate-Chip Cookies, a twist on the classic, doubles up on chocolate to please the extra chocolate-lovers in your life.

What is the first thing that comes to mind when asked, “What is your favorite cookie?” Some like sugar cookies or peanut-butter and some prefer a nutty flavor profile like pecan. However, if surveyed, I am pretty sure most would answer chocolate chip as they just might be the most popular cookie in America. According to all of the stats I checked, they lead in most-loved cookie category.

Surprise!

By Lorraine

Jamie had her sonogram yesterday.
But, even she didn’t know the gender of the precious baby soon to join their family.

But I knew!

As planned, the technician kept it secret. She handed me the photo revealing the special news as we left.

For a fun way to announce the news to her family, I made a cake for them with the answer inside.

Since Jamie and her family are spending a week down the shore (she came back up just for the appointment), I had to prepare two cakes and give her the right cake to take with her.

She sent me these photos of the reveal…

my adorable Jamie… just a little… hesitant… to tell us… she is… expecting… again… baby number… seven… and this time she isn’t having twin sister, Jill share the news for her… so, she… casually… mentions it… during a text conversation about nothing in particular…

love my girl!

White Chocolate Cherry Shortbread

By Lorraine

I am getting together with three of my dearest friends for a small Christmas Cookie Exchange.

Wanting to try a recipe I had in my file for a few years I finally made these pretty little cookies.

White Chocolate Cherry Shortbread are tiny in size yet are BIG on flavor. Each cookie measures just over 1.5-inches but could easily be made larger by rolling bigger balls.
