Homemade Maple Bars (using refrigerated biscuit dough)

In the words of Bridget Jones, “Oh joy, I am culinary genius.” Well, not really.  In fact, the person with great disdain for Sandra Lee inside of me is a little disappointed in myself.  Those feelings disappear though, as soon as I take a bite of one of these homemade maple bars, that I made… Continue reading Homemade Maple Bars (using refrigerated biscuit dough)

Iced Molasses Cookies

Remember these babies? Mothers Iced Molasses Cookies?  They were my favorite.  I don’t know why they stopped making them, I guess they weren’t a big seller.  I sure loved them though, and I set out to duplicate them today.

Iced Pumpkin Shortbread

Iced Pumpkin Shortbread  The title of this recipe is “Iced Pumpkin Shortbread” although I’m not sure it is an entirely accurate description of what this is.  The texture is more like a Starbucks Cranberry bliss bar than a shortbread.
