Admittedly, in my house, cookies are most popular during the Christmas holidays. However, every now and then, we bake a batch just for the indulgence or to try a new recipe. There are many different recipes on this page from which to choose, including a few healthy cookies that are low in fat and sugar, or incorporate whole grain flour. Many of the recipes were handed down from my family and, in my opinion, are the absolute best of their kind. I have also added a few candy recipes to this page. I don't make candy often, but these are some of my favorites, especially the truffles.

Before you do any baking, you should be familiar with a few basic guidelines. First, unless otherwise specified, all ingredients should be room temperature and, when alternating wet and dry ingredients, end with dry. If the size of the egg is not specified, use large. Unsalted butter is superior in taste and allows you to control the salt so, if you don't use it for other cooking, do so when baking. A tip about mixing cookie doughs: it is tempting to use a mixer because it makes the workload easier. However, an otherwise delicious batch can be ruined if over-mixed, so be careful. Also, softened butter must never be too soft. That's the same as over-mixing. And remember, oven temperatures vary, so always check your cookies for doneness a little early and, if needed, bake a little longer. Happy baking!!
