Cookies and Bars

I want cookies but I need to watch carbs, so when I saw this cookie recipe that uses an alternative sugar I had to try it. The challenge: low carb cookies that I will eat.

The Challenge

I like brownies. My friends like brownies. But, my friends have developed a late in life allergy to gluten. We are getting together for the holidays soon and I, of course, want to take something. Combing through my favorite sites, I decided to use the Almond Flour Brownie recipe from King Arthur Baking. 

Craving an apple pie but no time to make it, these apple pie spice cookies hit the spot.

I recently found out that November 21st is National Gingerbread Cookie Day. One of the facts I saw was that Nuremburg, Germany is the gingerbread capital of the world.  Who knew? Just in time for holiday baking practice.

I confess, I. Love. Chocolate. Chip. Cookies.  So when I saw that there is a Chocolate Chip Cookie day, I had to do a bake. True, I use any reason, eh excuse to make them.

I was in the mood for cookies. Well, if I am honest, I could always be persuaded to have a cookie.  I decided that I would continue my journey to master shortbread cookies. I have been a little slow to embrace almond flour and thought if I could make a tasty shortbread cookie, I could closer, maybe.

It is holiday cookie baking season!  I am on it!

A snack and a pie crust, graham crackers are a fav and decided to try making my own.

Grandma's favorite bakery for tea cakes is going out of business. For her birthday, I thought I would make some for her.

Memorial Day weekend was fast approaching. It was going to be a busy weekend with a 2-year-old birthday party and time with my family.  My dad is supportive but... he prefers simple bakes. So for this holiday, I made cookies. I decided to do three different cookie: Snickerdoodles, Oatmeal Raisin, and Chocolate Chip. The favorites of my family. These are the best made cookies... so far.
