Swedish Oatmeal Cookies
I've previously mentioned how I like Joanna Fluke's Hannah Swenson books. I'm rereading some of the books in the series. As I was reading Key Lime Murder, she included this recipe. I was instantly intrigued. I've made other oatmeal cookies that included chocolate chips and M&M's. This year I wanted something simple. This cookie fit the… Continue reading Swedish Oatmeal Cookies

Every year I bake and create Christmas goodies. My grandma used to do the same thing and then share with family and friends. I have her bench she used to pile the containers onto and the Kitchen aid mixer she used to whip up the batches of delicious cookies. Once I was an adult living… Continue reading Christmas Baking
