Martha Stewart’s Cookies

July 31, 2010 By Spoonful of Sugar - 16 Comments

Recently I bought Martha Stewart’s Cookies from the Book Depository with my pocket money. I love the Book Depository as it has free worldwide shipping and the prices as so much cheaper than buying books here in Australia. It is a great baking book featuring 175 cookie recipes, as well as tips and tricks, and ideas for packaging.

Today I made the cover recipe “Chocolate Cookies” . These rich cookies contained Dutch cocoa powder and were rolled in sugar before baking. These cookies would taste great with a glass of milk.

I plan on making many more of the recipes in the book so stay tuned!

My Mum made the Lemon Squares this week. She used her cricut machine to embellish some for gift giving.

    These look yummy. The cricutted presentation is cute! I have an old MS Pies and Tarts book – now I want to pull it out and make a lemon tart.
