Of all the times to have technical difficulties ! The plug-in for the contact form on my  site was being very temperamental (to say the least).  As a result, the lovely holiday cookie recipes you so kindly submitted have been swallowed by a black hole, an internet vacuum of sorts.  Even my wonderful brother (who [...]

There are so many cookie recipes that have struck my fancy over the years.  They’ve been added to the list.  The  “to-be-tested” list, that is.  Seriously. Talk about a weakness.
