Cookie Favors Monograms

Monogram Cookies in a Rainbow of colors

These simple but elegant monogram cookies were done for a bridal shower in an array of rainbow colors. I like the simplicity of these cookies, with cello favor bag and a pretty bow, they are perfect for a bridal shower or wedding. Our sugar cookies are baked with all natural ingredients and hand-rolled, then hand decorated. Every batch is custom made to order.

The latest Colors for Cookies

Lime green and chocolate Brown frostings look great on our hand-rolled sugar birthday cookies. We also came up with a teal green/blue color that looks just right for a summer birthday.

Chocolate Chip Cookies fresh from the oven

Chocolate Chip Cookies are the hardest cookie to bake, I think. Maybe the weather is to blame, one too large egg, not quite enough flour, overbeating the batter, the butter not at the right temperature, etc. But today I got it right! Slightly crispy on the outside, chocolate melting everywhere, buttery, melt-in-your-mouth texture, soft in the middle, well, enough said. I hope it doesn't sound like I'm bragging, but cookie bakers will understand. The cookie was worth the calories today!

Fresh Baked Chocolate Chip Cookies

I just baked a batch of Super Chocolate Chunk cookies for a custom order today and couldn't resist taking a photo. I gave up my lunch today for one of these.

Red, White & Blue Cookies

I just finished baking a batch of our new cookie which we will feature the month of July, our RED, WHITE & BLUE Cookie. We start with our chocolate chip recipe batter, instead of chocolate chips, we add dried blueberries, cranberries and Callebaut White Chocolate Chunks. The sweetness of the white chocolate and the slightly tart flavor of the cranberries and blueberries create an absolutely wonderful cookie! I had to pack up the remaining cookies quickly to avoid eating more than one.

Yay Pens!

Stanley Lord Stanley! Pittsburgh is crazy for the Penquins! I know that this hockey team picked up many new fans this year, it was such a fun season, we can't wait until next season!

Buttery Rich Shortbread Cookies Gifts

Shortbread cookies are becoming a favorite of mine. A simpler cookie, bite-sized and so easy to make. I guess I love butter, ( I did grow up on a farm where I remember making butter, although I think that was a one time deal, but we did have cows on the farm when I was very young...) and combined with sugar well, they melt in your mouth. Also, I like shortbread for the wonderful way it combines with other flavors like pure vanilla or Dutch cocoa. We are currently updating our shortbread cookie line, adding new packaging and some better photos online. Just in time for Mother's Day!

Super Chunky Cookies

I'll admit that I'm somewhat obsessed with baking chocolate chip cookies. I enjoy baking them and tweaking the recipe even more than eating them. Well, I spent a few hours yesterday trying to create a thicker, chunkier, bigger chocolate chip cookie that would also remain moist. In the past, adding extra unbleached flour would create a larger chunkier cookie, but at the expense of losing that melt-in-your mouth center. Well, I won't say this one is perfect because that can really never happen when you're talking about chocolate chip cookies, but I have to say that this cookie is absolutely wonderful. The trick is that there is no one trick. I increased the brown sugar, increased the unbleached flour, kept the butter cold, tweaked the baking soda and baking powder, chilled the dough, increased the oven temperature in our convection oven, and Hand scooped the cookies. Yes, no scoop would work with these cookies. They must be hand formed to keep the dough light, any machine or scoop would compress the dough too much. The cookies, that we are offering now at Country Cupboard Cookies online are 4-5 ounces each. They are at least an inch thick and between 3-4 inches in diameter. ( Twice as large as our regular cookies) But it's the texture that makes them such a treat. Buttery rich yet, somewhat airy in the middle. Somehow they are not dense, but chewy and loaded with chocolate. They are not your ordinary chocolate chip cookie. I'm very happy with the recipe! Now to work on a double chocolate version.

Buttery Rich Shortbread Cookies

Shortbread cookies are so simply made with butter, sugar, vanilla, egg and flour but the flavor is so wonderful and the texture is perfectly crisp yet delicate. All butter shortbread with just a touch of pure vanilla is my favorite. I really have to be careful, because they are bite-size, it's easy to eat more than I need. We are working now on improving our line of shortbread cookies, we offer 4 flavors now, Original Butter, Cinnamon & Sugar, Belgian Chocolate and mini-Chocolate chip. We hope to be able to offer different shapes by this summer, a star, square and maybe a fluted square.
