I don’t have much of a sweet tooth, but I have to say that a good donut is one of my favorite treats. Cake or yeast donuts. Glazed or filled donuts. I’m not picky at all. That’s why I included a variety in the last poll so people could pick what kind of donut they [...]

For each recipe during cookie week this week, I’m trying to keep a flavor or something from the previous day’s recipe. So I made peppermint whoopie pies yesterday to go with the peppermint bark on Monday. Today’s recipe uses the chocolate from the whoopie pies to make these ganache filled cookies!
Why did I organize the [...]

It’s cookie week here at Macheesmo because let’s face it, everybody is going to want to make and eat some cookies over the next few weeks. I’ve been saving and bookmarking recipes for awhile now, but if I made all the recipes that I wanted to try I would have to rename this site and [...]
