Whale Cookies

These aren't something I just did this week either....sigh...Good news is I AM on the road to recovery, but I think it will be a bit more time before I'm up to rolling out and decorating cookies. Darn it my luck too bc Halloween and Fall are my favorite, favorite, cookies to make!


I had some extra dough and had seen this idea the same week so decided to try my hand at these cute whale cookies. They are a whale cookie cutter making the spout out of a scallopped cookie cutter and attaching them. I found these on Cristin's Cookies. Hers were so cute and I had just gotten a whale cookie cutter too!


I only made 12 of these but they were fun to make!

Banana Bars and Pina Colada Cake

Before I was down for the count, I did some baking that I hadn't gotten a chance to post.....

I found a yummy cake recipe when I was thinking about what to have for company a few weeks ago. The appeal was that this recipe was only ONE layer of a in inch pan. Because my goodness, what do we ever do with 2 layers anyway? You can find this on Smitten Kitchen Here.


The cake was very easy to make, very moist and just the right amount.
Next time I would look for more of a topping or frosting than what it called for. It was yummy, just think something more could have jazzed it up!
If you like bananas and are looking for a good bar recipe, try the Banana Fosters Bars . They were really easy to make and yummy too.

Happy Baking....although it may be awhile before I'm back up to doing anything!!

Happy Birthday!

I've been busy making cookies for a Birthday celebration this week! And what is better than celebrating an 80th Birthday? Wow! Certainly something to be healthy and happy at 80 years old! Yeah!
And nothing more yummy than my cookies to have for dessert!

Here's to a wonderful 80th Birthday celebration to my friends father!

Cherry Snowballs

I haven't been doing much baking lately!! A bit of a lull still. But back at it this week with an order on the horizon!

I did make one small thing this weekend....so thought I would share.

A quick and easy little dessert... Cherry Snowballs. There are only a few ingredients in this and it tastes pretty good! I watned something to go with some ice cream I was going to have with dessert and made 1/2 a batch of these. Hardly any prep time to this! I would recommend putting a whole cherry in even though the recipe calls for a 1/2. My taste testers thought it would be better with more cherry! And the testers are always right!

Half a batch made about 14 snowballs which was just right. A small cookie with a surprise in the middle - yummy!

Happy Baking!
