No matter how many fancy desserts, candies and cookies I make every year I always include sugar cookies. There is something pure and simple about them.

Another new thing for me? Buckwheat in cookies.. How interesting.

Kirsch? Oh, okay. I read the comments. My lesson for the day. These sound great.

This looks and sound so rich and good. I have never had anything like this before...

I have never seen a cookie like this before....just what a person can make to step things up a bit.

I printed this of. I am making them this year.

I make truffles every year. I roll some in cocoa, some in confectioner’s sugar, some in coconut. I am definitely trying this recipe.

Hmmmm....I remember the days of candy thermometers. I have been making microwave fudge (gasp!) for too long. This looks great.
