Old Fashioned Goodness


Mike has been in the kitchen once again! His Friday treat for his co-workers were these delicious old fashioned sugar cookies.
Inspired by the recipe found in Martha Stewart Cookies, Mike went a step further adding adding candied orange peel, lemon/lime/orange zests and oils. Martha used this recipe in her recent Style Network companion special to the cookie book.
The extra crunchy sugar coating is made with sanding sugar, a brush of water and more sanding sugar before you bake.
Mike noted that he even made his own candied orange peel for these cookies. Congratulations Mike on another excellent cookie!

Thumbs Up!


It looks as though the "Cookie Master" is at it again with another delicious treat from the Martha Stewart Cookie book! Mike sent us a photo of these incredible thumbprint cookies (recipe on page 278 of the cookie book). If you ask us, these would great with a tall glass of cold, cold milk! We're giving these cookies a true thumbs up!
