By
I just had to tell you how excited I was to help launch my son's new blog and guest post for him.  I am so proud of him!  I also saw my brother post a photo to Facebook last week of his fabulous looking breakfast pancakes with apples. He gave me the tip on how he makes the apples so they cook all the way through and aren't undercooked inside.

Supermarket Style Loft Cookies

By
One of my favorite cut out cookies and those soft loft cookies you find in almost every supermarket decorated for whatever holiday theme is going on. You can make Christmas, Halloween, Valentines, anything you want. These are just a great dough so versatile to work with. Kids love these cookies and often eat all the frosting off before the cookie, you may know someone just like that! The frosting is buttery and delicious along with the cookies. If you love loft cookies try my soft peanut butter molasses cookies also they are so good! This is a simple recipe that will be your new favorite cookie all year long.
