Oatmeal Cinnamon Kiss Cookies ~ Recipe

Oatmeal Kiss Cookies SmashI finally broke in my tiny oven in my tiny apartment in Toronto! With very limited supplies I was able to whip up these cookies which are a nice alternative to a peanut butter blossom with the yummy Hershey kiss. I used the kisses that have caramel in the middle which gave them a little something extra.

I used this recipe since it has no baking powder, baking soda or peanut butter all of which I did not have on hand.

A half batch was also plenty of cookies in my opinion. About 20 cookies.

Without a mixer or a real thermostat on my oven I feel good about the inaugural batch of cookies! Enjoy!

Pumpkin Pie Spiced Biscotti ~ Recipe

This was my first time making biscotti and it turned out great! I followed the below recipe exactly to get the pumpkin pie spiced base biscotti. I then dipped the ends in semi-sweet chocolate after they cooled for a few minutes and sprinkled chopped almonds. This may have to be a repeat for Christmas!

This recipe was sent to me by a friend so I do not know the source.

Grandma’s Molasses Cookies

For my first post I am giving away a great secret recipe! This one is adapted from an obscure Christmas Cookies cookbook that belongs to my Mom.

Recipe:

3/4 cup butter
1 cup sugar
1 egg
1 tablespoon orange juice
1/4 cup molasses
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
3/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon ginger
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 1/4 cups flour
2 tablespoons sugar

Cream butter and 1 cup sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in egg, orange juice, and molasses. Whisk dry ingredients together and stir into molasses mixture. Chill dough. Shape into 1-inch balls and roll them in remaining 2 tablespoons sugar. Place 2 inches apart on cookie sheet and bake 8 to 10 minutes at 350 degrees.

My sister’s and I have renamed these delicious morsels “crack cookies”. Make sure you make an extra dozen for yourself. ♥
