Did you know that this week has been National Chocolate Chip Cookie Week? No? Well, frankly me neither until a few days ago, but it seemed like a good excuse to make these mini (bite sized) mini-chocolate chip cookies. Pretty standard recipe but always good. And because they are small, they bake up quickly. Enjoy!

Crumble bars are definitely my “go to” dessert (sort of like variations on the blueberry muffin are my go to breakfast item). I think that there must be at least a dozen crumble bar recipes on this site at this point. They are just so eary and the variations are endless. Sometimes I add nuts. Sometimes I add oatmeal. There is always fruit. They are always yummy.
Cranberries and toasted walnuts. For me, these count as winter flavors. Sort of like apples tend to be autumn flavors. It’s funny how my brain associates flavors with times of the year, eh? Seeing there is still snow in the air and the Winter Olympics are on the TV, winter food is fair game right about now, so I thought these Cranberry Chocolate Chip and Toasted Walnut Blondies to be perfect for an afternoon snack. And foolproof, I might add.
Happy Anniversary to CSPS! It’s been 8 years since I started this silly endeavor and happy to say that I still love it very much. It’s helped me in so many ways, I can’t even count. So to mark the occasion, here are some Chambord Royale Mini Cupcakes (Champagne Cupcakes and Chambord Raspberry Frosting. Happy Happy!
Not sure if I have ever mentioned my love of honey. I absolutely adore it! Some of my relatives in the Black Forest have been bee keepers (as a hobby) for a few generations so it’s always a treat to visit — and sneak home a jar of good raw honey. These cookies accentuate the honey flavor, and combine that with pistachios, actually give it a bit of a Middle Eastern flavor. Yum!
