If you have a sweet tooth, you should enjoy this cookie recipe of mine, containing coconut and chopped cherries. I just used a basic cookie dough for this and gave it some of my favourite flavourings. I have given the rough equivalent measurements for...
A hot drink on a cold night warms the insides like medicine for the soul. Hot chocolate is the perfect compliment with Christmas treats for a party. The drink may be kept warm in a crock pot, carafe, or mixed as needed. Christmas gifts from the kitchen...
