Simple Banana Oatmeal Cookies
I’ve been doing a good bit of baking lately and today I’m making a batch of these banana oatmeal cookies. Since we’re all stuck in the house, with extra time on our hands, it only makes sense. Plus it’s a great way to relieve stress and feel like we’re treating ourselves to a little something […]

I’m looking for a recipe for Meringue cookie. My mother used to make these and I loved them so much. Hers were light and did not fall apart as much like I found my last attempt did. Hers were like a soft cookie but with a slight crisp. Janie Britton From The Hillbilly Housewife My […]

Yesterday I shared my favorite recipe for Gingerbread cookies with you. While the cookies taste great plain (I actually prefer them that way), they are also wonderful iced and they look very pretty if you take the time to decorate with a simple gingerbread icing. Here’s the recipe we use: Gingerbread Icing 1 cup powdered […]

I love gingerbread cookies. There’s just something about that sweet and spicy mix that makes them perfect. Around here it doesn’t really feel like Christmas until we smell these cookies baking. They are fun and easy to decorate, or have them plain. They are delicious either way and in a pinch they make some cute […]
Continue readingOld Fashioned Cutout Cookies
Some of my favorite Christmas and Advent memories as a kid involved making cutout cookies with my mom and my little sister. We used the same recipe each year. I think we got it from our preschool. They honestly didn’t taste good at all, but they held their shape well and if you added enough […]

My daughter went to a Christmas party for her 4-H group this week and made buckeye candy. Some call it cookies, some call it candy. Either way, it is delicious. I’ve eaten plenty of buckeyes (including some she brought home the other day), but I’d never made them myself. My daughter was excited to be able […]

As a kid my neighbor made cookies with anise she rolled a dark dough into a long “snake” then cut it into pieces. I’ve been unable to find a recipe for it…help, please! Marla From The Hillbilly Housewife I could be wrong, but it sounds like a gingerbread cookie. Below is my favorite recipe. You […]

We’ve been going through a lot of craisins around here. I’m in love with everything cranberry and they are a nice addition to my oatmeal in the morning. They are also wonderful to bake with. I love making the recipe below with both regular craisins and the cherry flavored ones as suggested. Of course they […]
Continue readingChewy Butterscotch Oatmeal Cookies
Hello from North Pole everyone. I’m hoping to find a oatmeal cookie recipe. It was in an old Soldotna cookbook. It used vegetable oil and butterscotch chips and was very soft. Thank you. Christina P. From the Hillbilly Housewife One of the things I love about these “I’m looking for” requests is that they often […]

I am looking for a recipe for pineapple cookies my mom use to make. They were soft and had bits of pineapple in them, so delicious. Since her and my grandma are now in a better place, I can’t find anyone that knows how to make them. Please help if you can. Thanks, Rene Do […]
Continue readingEasy Peanut Butter Fudge
My daughter and I played around with some fudge recipes yesterday and I thought I’d share one of the results with you. We made delicious, super creamy peanut butter fudge with sugar, milk, marshmallow creme and of course plenty of creamy peanut butter. It turned out great and is our favorite fudge recipe yet. It […]

I shared this particular recipe on my Facebook page a few days ago and it was a big hit. I thought I’d post it here as well to make it easier to save it for later. You can pin it right from this post, print it, or bookmark the page. It’s a great little gift […]
Continue readingSpiced Oatmeal Raisin Cookies
I’m a big fan of oatmeal raisin cookies and make them throughout the year. Sometimes I leave the raisins out, sometimes I use chopped apple instead. In December though, I take things to another level with these holiday spiced oatmeal cookies. The spices and nuts take this from a rather plain cookie to something really […]

We love fudge around here. In the summer we head down to a local gift shop to sample some of their fudge, but around Christmas time, we like to get out our pots and pans and make up big batches of homemade fudge to eat and share. The recipe blow makes a big 5 pound […]
