I opened up the Small batch baking cookbook again today and landed on Lemon Coolers. I havent had that kind of a cookie in a long time! We used to buy them occasionally but I had forgotten about them. I think this was the easiest cookie I have ever made! I love how the tart flavor shines in these buttery, melt in your mouth cookies.

I usually make a honey graham cracker bread every couple weeks that we use for toasting. I wanted to veer off track and try something a little different today so I went with Honey Wheat Black Bread. This dark and somewhat sweet bread has a variety of ingredients including cocoa and espresso powder! It rose quite high and the texture is just right for us. Supposedly this is known as Canadian brown bread but I don't know how authentic that is.

Trying to clean out the fridge and take a break from cooking tonight so it was leftovers. We had the last of the Corn and Poblano pizza (this reheats so well in a toaster oven) and the sour cream cheddar biscuits.

  1. Mmmmmmmm. Lemon Coolers. Mmmmmmm. Don't know how I missed that one!

    I have an old Todd Wilbur Copy Cat Recipe for the Sunshine Lemon Coolers. Now I'm looking forward to trying the small batch recipe.

  3. I've actually never made Lemon Coolers, but I've made Mexican Wedding Cookies, which have the same melt-in-your-mouth consistency that I love. Yum!

  4. I have never even heard of them! We make a biscuit coated in icing sugar for christmas but they are almond flavoured (and really good!)

  5. Forget the coolers, what about that bread? Looks fabulous. Any chance you could point me in the right direction as to where I might find the recipe? Course, I can't bake bread to save my life but a gal's got to keep trying! One day. . .
