The Ice Box Cookie has been in my recipe box for years and I turn to it often because the cookies are so yummy and I like have extra dough ready in the refrigerator or freezer to take out (more…)

I was recently on a two day trip to Atlanta to meet with the gals at the Cotton + Steel Studio. Most of you may know, they are the collaborative group of five young designers for RJR Fabrics, designing a broad range of cotton, rayon, canvas and double gauze modern prints.

This is the easiest and tastiest little cookie treat. I make it every holiday and often many times during the holiday. The ingredients are few and simple and I always seem to have them on hand, so I can make it without a trip to the grocery store and at the spur of the moment. I think you’re going to love having this cookie treat in your recipe box. (more…)
