This is Reading Week for my kids! If you’ve ever crammed for finals.. or slaved over projects and essays you’ll understand a well-earned and much-needed break for a treat, and sometimes, only chocolate will do! Katie found this recipe.. (somewhere and just sent a text message of the ingredients over her iPhone) and we just…
It’s been such an exciting week.. of reconnecting with friends and making new ones! { Some friends never change.. and we’re so glad they don’t! } I’m overjoyed to have reconnected with Lois, my Maid of Honor and the doctor who helped deliver my Baby Girl { she was the one who nick-named her “Peanut”…..
They look amazing and sweet 
yum!
Beautiful!
Amazing!
Absolutely stunning! Gorgeous post! Definitely in the mood for Spring now!

You are a true artist!!! “There is nothing I would not do for those who are really my friends. I have no notion of loving people by halves, it is not my nature.” ― Jane Austen, Northanger Abbey
These are incredibly beautiful looking cookies my friend

Beautiful cookies!
Saturday evening and I’ve just sat back with the day’s jobs completed and thought “I’ll treat myself to a little browse”. And here you are, Smidge- never disappointing. Such pretty hearts- I’m sure my daughter could use this technique.
Lovely to reunite.
What a lovely gift to bring to a baby shower. These cookies are so gorgeous! I love your video. It’s great to see talent in action! These seem very time-consuming but the end result looks so worth it. Glad you had a good time re-connecting with peanut’s doctor! xx
What a lovely treat for Lois! She will be delighted. It was great fun having you for lunch and coffee, and I know we have a lot in common! Still working on my blog issues, but we can talk about that another time. Thanks for your help.
Oh Smidge! Every time I click on one of your posts, I find myself blown away by how creative and clever you are. Those cookies are just the prettiest things I’ve seen in forever. Clever you and clever Amber!
These are pieces of art — I’d hate to bite into them. Ok, twist my arm — they look sooo good though
Delicate perfection- your art of baking confection!
Wow, you’ve exceed Martha and her team with this one Barbara, they are simply beautiful! So delicate and I cannot believe how much time each one takes. I bet your new friends were over the top happy with these beautiful cookies. I’m sure you could see them. Thank you for the tutorial, now I know for sure that I certainly don’t have the patience to make them, but if I ever need some, I know who to ask 
We have a long weekend in Ontario called Family Day on Monday, hope you guys get one too.
Drat, it just started snowing again. I’m ready for spring.
These are very pretty! I think I’d have to eat them in secret
I’m overwhelmed with all of the loveliness!
Gorgeous!
Just beautiful! I can’t wait to try this
Barbara, you are just unbelievable – what planet does you really come from ??? *smile – those cookie … are …. lost for words really. You better open that cafe … soon! I’m going to borrow somebody else word – those are pure loveliness. *smile – they are like lace .. I don’t like lavender in cooking, but this I could have decoration. And when you open up that cafe … don’t ask me to do any embroidery .. I will be happy in the washing up area. Barbara, I just love this.
They look too beautiful to eat!
You are sweet… as always and ever:) They aren’t lavender flavored, just colored. I think I’ll have to change the title, it’s a little misleading, especially without the recipe enclosed:) xx
Absolutely beautiful.
I would not have the patience to make those decorations. If I was served one of those cookies I probably could not bite into it as I would not want to ruin the patterns. Love the video, glad to see an artist at work.
These cookies are almost too pretty to eat. I am sure that the guests will get over that fear soon. Beautiful. Take Care, BAM
What beautiful decorations!
Absolutely exquisite! And your beautiful cookies are, too!! xoxo
These are absolutely beautiful, I am in awe!!! The colours are just so pretty too I would love to try it myself but I just don’t know if I have the ability or the patience :0!
WOW, you are brilliant Smidge, don’t think I would ever have known how to do anything like this – loved watching your video. Your cookies are absolutely exquisite!
Mandy xo
These cookies took my breath away – so lovely! And thank you for the introduction to SweetAmbs; her site is lovely & so educational. It s so true that even though we may lose touch with a good friend, we can pick up anew when we reconnect. Years and even decades can melt away in a heartbeat.
They are little works of eatable art !
These cookies are so lovely! Perfect for celebrating a baby shower or a special tea, just so sweetly decorated. <3 them.
Little works of art!
Ok…I thought I’d already seen the planet’s prettiest cookie, right here at Smidge’s kitchen. But I must have been mistaken, because These are truly the prettiest little cookies my eyes have ever in their lives set upon! When I first saw them, I kind of had to gasp (little and lady-like of course, but unmistakably a gasp) and then I thought you must have overlaid edible lace on those little lavender hearts, but no, you Made that edible lace!!! (Well, of COURSE you did! Smidge does Nothing half-way.) And after watching your video set to some of my favorite music, I came away believing fully that I could do this! Not nearly as well, of course, but I too could make a pretty cookie! What a thoroughly delightful post Smidge!!! xxx
Had to pin this, and then sent along to several loved ones.
Beauty would be in the belly of this beholder.
How delicate and lace-y! Wonderful, Smidge.
These looks SO beautiful and delicate, perfect for a baby shower celebration!
I wish I had more time to hang out here; you post the best stuff! And you always satisfy my sweet tooth…
They are literally ‘pieces of art’….Diane
Too pretty to eat…Almost!
What a beautiful gesture!
I have been following Sweet Ambs for a while now and I tried making the brush embroidery a few months back. They are not as easy as it looks. Takes a lot of practise to get them right. Have you seen her bees? They are cute too. You have done such an artist. Enjoyed your video and your tips. I’m inspired to give it a go again.
There’s nothing like reconnecting with old friends – and making new ones in the blogging community! These cookies are amazing, can’t get over the detail in them. I’ll have to watch you videos when I have some headphones.
Your posts never cease to amaze, Barb, each a thing of beauty. Hard to believe that these are handmade edible cookie. They are so pretty and you are a marvel! I just had to watch the video to see how each was made and I’ve come to the conclusion there is no way I would even attempt this. I’ll stick with pasta and when we meet, we’ll trade.
Love the lilac colour of this cookie! love the details on it.. what a clever way to decorate them. Am going to try this brush embroidery method next!
Wow, very nice! youre a cook and an artist at the same time
You’re just amazing .. I would have a nervous breakdown it I had to do cookies like that – nothing for me. Has to be done in less than 20 min. *smile – otherwise I lose interest.
LOVE. Also, I’ve watched the video twice. It has basically hypnotized me with it’s loveliness.
Exquisite cookies, Barbara; and so glad you caught up with old friends.
They’re so beautiful and isn’t it wonderful that blogging brings so many other wonderful things to us…like reconnecting with old friends!
I love your blog! Everything is so pretty. You make baking seem so effortless. Thank you for sharing your talent with us. I can’t wait to come back and see more of your blog.
These cookies are gorgeous! What a great addition to a baby shower!
Those cookies are beautiful!! You are a true artist!!
Beautiful looking cookies Barbara!
Oh Smidge, Thank you! I just watched your wonderful video and learned so much. I can’t believe how gorgeous these cookies are, and you’ve made it look like something I could actually do…without the video I wouldn’t have believed it! This post was a gift! And I’m delighted you reconnected with your friends–I must visit Teri, too! oxo
Heavenly. How amazing you are Barbara and how nice that you got to reconnect with old friends and meet new ones. Your piping skills blow me away. Seriously.
These cookies are beautiful! It definitely is not easy, having to decorate so many cookies! You’re really talented and amazing!
How lovely to meet up with old friends. These cookies are amazing! I wonder if I have the patience to even try doing one?
I saw these on instagram Barbara and they really do look so beautiful. I’ll bet your friends loved them.
So so pretty, Smidge! And what a wonderful week.
These cookies mush have been the talk of that baby shower Barb! I’m simply speechless at how beautiful they are. I can always count on something beautiful to brighten my day when I read one of your posts. Thanks for the ongoing inspiration.
Well, these are just about the prettiest cookies ever! I think they would make the most thoughtful, little gifts (you’ve got my wheels turning this morning). Also, how completely wonderful to have reconnected with your maid of honor. Old friends are just the best, aren’t they?
These are exquisite! And to reconnect with dear friends.., perfect!! Your expertise and creativity are wonderful!
Those are beyond gorgeous!!
Your cookies are beautiful, as your food often is: a treat to look at.
[...] inspiration for these brush embroidery cookies came from Smidge. You can check out her post and short video detailing how to achieve this effect. The second method I use was feathering. I find feathering a [...]
With Christmas coming up.. there are Craft Fairs and Art Markets popping up all over our city! The Telus International Christmas Market began just this past weekend and takes place again next weekend from November 23-25th. The 2012 Cochrane Ranche House Christmas Market takes place Saturday, November 4 from 10-6. November 29 – December 2…
Cherry walnut cookies sound like the perfect accompaniment to a nice cup of tea.
Mandy xo
Those biscuits look and sound wonderful.
Those cookies look lovely and are a perfect fit for the teacup.
Pretty, pretty, pretty plates!
Very pretty and romantic – have seen this on TV – how to turn plates into cake stands on foot. Yours are much prettier than the ones on TV. Love the cookies too – so perfect choice for the post about your romantic plates. I don’t like those cherries – I nearly hate them … *laughing. Terrible product – I think it goes back when I started as a chef and all desserts were decorated with them – sweet and sticky, but still they came out excellent in your cookie.
Did you couscous the other evening – excellent dish – love the dressing. Couldn’t find Lebanese’s couscous – but I found what we call full corn couscous – there will be a post.
What fun – would love to do something like that! And the plates and cookies both look so very pretty
What an incredibly awesome Christmas round up my friend
I don’t know which photo I love the most!
Cheers
Choc Chip Uru
When I saw the china I thought these would be perfect for you to use as props and then I scrolled down and found the recipe! How beautiful does all of this look. Just gorgeous. I love all of this elegant china xx
Those plates do have your name all over them. Great cookies!
Pinterest has so many amazing people and ideas. Lovely choice. These little plates look perfect with your tasty cookies!
Gorgeous china, perfect to serve your cookies for afternoon tea with a friend.A lovely way to start the holidays.
This years Christmas cookie at our house
I hope you like it was much as we do:)
We will definitely try these cookies, Smidge, they are so pretty and sound so good! I’m LOVING your trays! What a wonderful idea….I can think of a lot of ways to use these. The dishes, etc., that you chose are incredible. The colors are so romantic and beautiful. I applaud your craftiness!!
Very pretty pastel china.
Such fragile and pretty pieces, Smidge. They look great. Here I go to the cookie jar. Can you eat cookies in the bath?
All that crafting sounds wonderful! I can tell you’re looking forward to Christmas. Last week I discovered the best craft shop I’d ever visited. It was in the middle of the countryside, not on a main road, tucked away, and it really was a treasure to find. They had a lovely display of Christmas decorations apart from other things.
Yum! My kind of cookies.
daisy
I’m not sure what’s prettier – your cherry walnut delights or your enchanting craft – what a success; it has a soft whimsical, romantic feeling to it. A snow white set would be gorgeous!
What beautiful dishes! I love the idea of repurposing vintage cups, plates into cake stands. What a great gift idea. I’m not crafty, at all. But I think I could this. So cute! Thanks for sharing Smidge.
Another beautiful post, Barb. I doubt you could have found a better match for your cookies than the cup & saucer that you chose for that photo. This post could be used to exemplify presentation. It really is that well done. Beyond that, I really love the combo of cherries with nuts. I bet these cookies are really tasty.
Barb this sure doesn’t look like frugal crafting. Your cookies and platters are well suited for one another — as they are both beautiful. Now I’m torn between adding these cookies or Nell’s sugar cookies, which have been on my mind for a few weeks now, to my Christmas baking list. Can’t believe baking season is just around the corner . . .
These cookies look so beautifully old-fashioned! It makes me want to revisit some of the recipes of my girlhood — all those things I used to make with Maraschino cherries before I decided they were passé. It would be fun to take a trip down baking memory lane! And I can add lovely new recipes, such as yours.
Thanks for sharing the crafting ideas. The cake stands you made are so pretty. I like your idea for a temporary bond – not only can you mix and match, but these things are much easier to store disassembled. I moved into a bigger house earlier this year, and already I’m running out of space for all my dishes (maybe because my collection keeps growing?).
I was also thinking about Nell’s sugar cookies when I was looking at this recipe; I think I’ll have to make both for my Christmas dessert tray! I love the old-fashioned vibe of both recipes.
What lovely little cookies! And, I just love your collection of rose dishes. Beautiful!
What a sweet idea! I’m looking forward to local craft fairs, too – but holy cow, Christmas already?! Where did the time go??
Love your tea cup and saucer set. Beautiful! Even better that you actually re-purposed them as cookie and cake stands. What a terrific idea! And those cherrry and walnut cookies are so reminiscent of Christmas! They look really addictive! I doubt they will last till Christmas though! =)
This is one high styling, high tea time biscuit. I feel so girly just reading your post and looking at your beautiful China tea saucers and cups. However, I can just tell from the picture these are the kind of cookies that just melt in your mouth and are super buttery. You should give a call to the Peninsula hotel in HK and see if they want to add this to their 4pm high tea menu. Take care, BAM
those cookies look so good! I want to figure out a way to grab one
Oh you are so terribly busy and what gorgeous little morsels those cookie are.. have a lovely day barbie.. c
Hahaha.. they’ll be gone on Friday:D
Clever! – and the cookies look so festive!
I think you’re the classiset blogger on WordPress, dear lady!
Yum to the cookies! One glance at them and they put me in the holiday spirit. And I love tea cups and saucers like the ones in the photo. We have a local store that sells overstocks on dishes and kitchen stuff. I love perusing the aisles checking out the interesting patterns! I always say I’m going to collect teapots and such, but oh what a collection that would become . . .
What a fun and pretty set of stands you made. And your cute little serving dish was perfect for those cute little cookies. I love the combination of the dried cherries with the walnuts. Sounds divine!
My husband strongly dislikes candied fruit…the silly.
Beautiful photos. I’ll have to pin these cookies because cherry desserts are my husband’s favorite
I’m glad there arn’t many of those store here in St. John’s. I’d be broke over broke buying dishes.
They are beautiful and has a festive charm. So does those cookies. So Christmasy. Love the festive air even on this blogsphere!
Love your teacup creations! And the cookies look heavenly. Going to share with my crafty friends.
Looks so English, I feel like having some tea just by looking at it
Nom, nom, nom, nom. nom. It’s breakfast time here and somehow fruit isn’t as appealing as your cookies !
Those plates look gorgeous, and complements really well with the cookies..I’m buzzing for some crafty time now
You have Christmas markets in canada? wow I think so I have to take my husband there one day. We have family members there but I am not sure where they all live. I love Christmas markets, they are the most wanted markets in Europe. I mean, how wonderful is it to see all those pretty goodies, sweets etc, drinking some hot spiced wine watching the snow falling and experiencing the happy atmosphere altogether.
Nice plate set Barbara. Is there a stamp on the back?
Oh I wish I could have your Cherry Walnut Cookies to chew on right now.
Barbara, I love the cozy antique places. I could spend days going through them. Love the markets!! Thank you for the gentle reminders of how wonderful these places are to shop at and learn about history. I love your style of writing~beautiful.
Your cherry walnut cookies are absolutely holiday and sweetness all together! I love them!
Aren’t you just the cleverest with these beautiful cake plates and tea accessories! You’ve given me wonderful inspiration! I have so many of these “odd pieces” sitting around. Many belonged to my grandmother and have no real value beyond sentiment, and this would be so fun to do for my nieces and daughter! Thanks for a relatively quick project! And I love the cookies. I’m big on cookies with fruit in them. And these would be Christmasy, too! By the way, your blogsite just gets more and more beautiful, Barbara!
Smidge, my husband is crazy about this type of dishes – I warmed up to them quite a bit after marrying him, because back home my family’s style (or lack of… was not quite like it. Now they seem charming, cozy, comforting, and sensual to me.
Loved the cookies too…
but I meant to ask you about the nomination for the best blogger in the Canadian contest… Please let me know what happened, my fingers are still crossed and it’s starting to hurt
Many hugs going your way, your blog is simply amazing! (but you knew how I felt already…. no big news)
What a glorious post, Barbara! I love the idea of making cake stands like this.
A pure white Christmas. the very best kind…
Hi, I have nominated you for the Super Sweet Blogging Award! Check out this link for details. http://helpwithyourlife.wordpress.com/2012/11/21/super-sweet-blogging-award/
Enjoy!
Those cookies are so beautiful! Look really tasty. Enjoy your blog!
I can think of a few women in my life who would appreciate some these items as Christmas gifts!
And I yours:)
Well there you go.. one present done;)
Thanks so much! As you might have noticed on my last post.. I am often very late in getting to respond to awards and such, but it doesn’t diminish the pleasure I feel when I receive one.. I’m always grateful.. thanks again!
I would love to see pure white contemporary done too.. it would be pretty:)
I’m glad you’ve warmed up to them. They’re pretty to look at.. I try to leave little things like this around, it cheers a person up on a bloody gray and snowy day, lol! Hey, the voting ends at the end of November.. my fingers are crossed to, but in the end, it’s all for fun:) I sure appreciate you voting, Sally! xx
You’re lucky if you have odd bits.. I was thinking I’d love to have an online website for that sort of thing.. there are so many crafts like mosaics that can be done with bits of china. Glad you liked these:)
I’ve become a bit of an “addict”.. every now and then I love just wandering and looking.. not necessarily buying. But I see items and love that I remember them in my house growing up:)
Oh, hot spiced wine.. I’d forgotten about that! Yes.. that’s exactly what feels like Christmas for me.. not the big malls, etc. Stamp… I’ll go look, just a minute, lol! I’m back.. the transferware says RS and Germany:) and the other says “English Rose”. xx
Me too.. must be the Christmas spirit.. I’m working on my next craft, lol!
Oh, but Claire.. now you’ve saved room for Christmas party food, yay!
They are yummy.. I’ll be slicing up more for work tomorrow:D xx
I love that you call them biscuits..
I wonder if cookies can be dunked in tea..
Thanks! I fell in love with them:)
Maybe that was Martha Stewart’s show:D That’s where I found the idea.. she’s got a great website for this sort of thing. Yes.. you’d think someone would have figured out a better fruit substitute? Full corn couscous sounds intriguing!
I like crafts.. as long as they’re pretty easy:)
Thanks xx
Me too.. as much as I love cookies:) xx
I’m worried that I’m turning into a granny.. I’m too young to turn into a granny, lol!
It really is a cool app/website.. what did we do before? I guess just magazines?
Thank you, Judy, that’s a great compliment coming from you:)
That’s me.. a hopeless romantic:D
Thank you xx
Of course.. but I must caution you.. you risk not catching the crumbs that fall and eating those as well:)
That is totally the sort of store I’d love to find! Lucky you!! I hope you write about it for us to see!
Thank you, Daisy!
It would.. I wish someone would make one.. or I just might have to:) xx
They are good.. not too sweet, and the cherries were remarkably not too artificial tasting.. thankfully:) And thank you, as always.. your kind words are appreciated!
Oh, dear.. decisions.. Nell’s are a bigger cookie.. that I think kids would love because of their size. These ones are tinier/daintier, more for a small adult treat after a big dinner:)
Me too!! I’m thinking I need to move into a small house that has a separate studio in the yard.. so my home isn’t overflowing with dishes:) xx
Thanks, Tessa!xx
High Tea!! I’ve got to do that soon! Thanks for the reminder! I think the Palliser Hotel here has a high tea.. it would be so fun! xx
Some day I need to figure out how to ship these without having them break:)
These are busy days, aren’t they c? Take care! xx
Well, a girl’s gotta make up for her lack of a garden;)
Well, thank you!!
What a great store.. that’s what I think we need here. Tea pots.. those would be hard to store. Plates lay flat and cups stack.. it might be a little easier for you:) xx
I thought about changing the nuts.. but I do think the walnuts are the best choice for this cookie.. xx
Haha, more for you I guess!
I hope you have the chance to try them. I’ve been pinning like crazy, I now realize there aren’t enough meals, snack times or hours in the day to cook/bake everything I’ve pinned, lol!
Now you’re the second person to mention St. John’s today! Yes.. it can be addicting, especially for food blogging:)
I wish I had thought of these when I was a teacher.. the Kindergarteners could have made these:)
You’re right.. it is all very English:) Now I’m off to make some tea! Night!
It is so easy.. and the possibilities sure are endless:)
Yes, and I can’t wait to make my Christmas Stollen…even though I am afraid of yeast. It’s not Christmas without it! And since he won’t eat it…IT’S ALL MINE!!!
I haven’t written about it, but I’ll send you the FB Page so you can see some of their photos from previous years. I don’t know that they’ve got any festive ones though.
No it’s was a Swedish TV show, in Sweden we don’t have Martha*smile
Had your couscous dish twice now – because I had some dressing left. Stunning – will do a post about it. So easy to make too.
How festive! I can’t wait for Christmas and Christmas markets x
Doh’t forget, if you go with the smaller, daintier options then you can eat more of them. There’s something so appealing about going back for seconds (and thirds
Oh yes, I’m with you there. I definitely a test kitchen/studio/writing sanctuary in my backyard. Must get started on the plans …..
Holy cow! Comment city! Good for you, Barbara! Love the tea cups and the dainty propriety of the post. Mom used to make a almond cherry shortbread that looks just like this cookie. Now I make them. So yummy! V
Love the biccies! Must make some soon as we love cherries and walnuts
I received a thank you gift similar to what you have made but the top was another teacup. It had been filled with a homemade candle. It is very lovely as are your cookies.
What beautiful dishes! I love going into antique stores! I usually don’t buy much but I love to look. Your cookies look and sound quite delicious! Hope you’re having a great weekend!
OMG I lovelovelove that cake stand made from the plate on top of the glass candlestick – and would make storing something so odd shaped so much easier ! Such beeeaauuutiful plates and such a great idea. I wonder if there are any such stores in Singapore… I must go and scour – I may not find anything as pretty but I’m sure I would be able to find some old Chinese plateware to replicate.
Which one of these is a little white lie: 1. I’m still swimming, it gets easier every day. 2. I didn’t make either of these pies. 3. I made two pies and gave both of them away. 4. I made these pies, ate a slice of both and I swam an extra 50 laps to…
Because the pie you made has a very high white layer on top of it – and each molecule contained in that layer is extremely delicious – anything you say is a white lie. As long as it is contained in this post, you understand, right?
You have absolutely nothing to worry about!
And that is the pure truth. Sally said so. You better believe it.
I couldn’t make two pies that look this good and give both of them away, so that’s my guess I make pumpkin pie with coconut milk, too, (and maple syrup, actually!) and the gingersnap crust sounds killer. And the meringue! And the candied pecans! Oh my goodness! SO yummy.
I don’t think I’ve ever had pumpkin pie with meringue on top! The only kinda black bottom I had better not be talked about…all I can say is, that time I wasn’t responsible for burning food for a change!
Chocolate and spiced pumpkins and pecans topped with meringue! You forgot to mention it was calorie free!
Not tempted at all.. What? A lie? How did you guess?
Beautiful pies! Pumpkin pie with meringue? Brilliant! What also caught my eye was that blue bowl with the pecans in it. Lovely!
It’s midnight and I am now sweetly hungry
What a pity this one wouldn’t survive an overnight post to the UK. O well, I will have to make my own, but there is no way I’d be giving it away!
I hope you soon love your swimming as much as this pie
You may lie as much as necessary in order to get these pies to me
Cheers
Choc Chip Uru
I love the pictures and your writing. That goes without saying. But, I cannot for the life of me understand how anyone could like pumpkin pie:)
Lookin’ dangerous there Barb’ – seriously delicious pie, of course
I seem to be obsessed by seasons and occasions and I absolutely love the way your blog is so often like a “soundtrack”, but with food, to the changes in the year. Or would that be a “foodtrack”? Lovely!
Funny! And the pies look great, too. Both true!
Oh my, those pies look A M A Z I N G! And it’s so lovely of you to make one for your friend. I love to bake for my friends too, it just makes me happy. I’m keeping my fingers crossed that you’re still swimming…
I love the idea of meringue on pumpkin pie! My wife makes the pumpkin pies… I’m passing this along!
Keep swimming!
Smidge, I saw this meringue pumpkin pie in Chatelaine too and I was drooling!! Your sky-high is even more stunning… truly, what a success. I cannot believe that you would give *both* pies away without duly sampling… so I’m guessing that’s the white bluff .
Pumpkin and pecans with meringue!
hey woman now you gotta tell me what gingersnaps crumbs are as this pies do have an amazing crust and I love gluten-free alternative baking. thumb up for this post and recipe.
That Sky High Pumpkin Pie photo belongs on the cover! (of your book, or Just a Smidgen Magazine!) And the pie itself? Well, we know where THAT belongs! (Nooo, not on my thighs! But if that’s the price one has to pay, oh welllll!) (Loved all your little white lies smidge, and of course, x you!) xx
These pies are gorgeous! That maple one is my favorite. I am so excited for Thanksgiving, we are so desperately trying to keep up..we have the red Starbucks cups, does that count for anything??
Lies or not .. white or grey – there is no lies in those photos. Wow … I would have loved to have me in my kitchen team. Those indv. Pies I really crave now. Not fair at all, but I have some apple crumble that I will go for now. Barbara, you are Youre the most dangerous temptress there is.
Gorgeous – and nice thinking with the gluten-free option. Please pass a spoon.
Thank you for thinking of those who eat gluten-free, Barbara….my nephew Al loves home-made gluten free stuff. This will be a lovely recipe to try….
This looks incredibly delicious. Love the meringue and the gluten free sounds very intriguing. Once again, beautiful photos and scrumptious recipe.
Oh. My. Goodness. I want nothing to do with either of these. That’s not a white lie….it’s a flat out bold lie! I need these. I need these bad! Smidge, the pictures are gorgeous, and look and sound like everything to be thankful for! You’re amazing.
Also thankful for those red cups
Those pies look delicious! We don’t really do pumpkin pie in Australia, but after reading so many posts about them, I might just have to give one a go!
I have totally forgotten the exact number but I read somewhere that we all tell quite a few white lies every day! Scary thought. These are drool-worthy recipes. I absolutely love anything with meringue on top. xx
What a gorgeous looking pie. I love the image of the slice of pie – it really shows how high that sky-high pie is. And don’t tell me you’ve given up swimming! As my coach used to say to me, ‘You’ve gotta push through the pain barrier’. I hope you give it another try. It’s a fabulous sport that’s easy to fall in love with when you can do it well – and yes, that does take a bit of practise xx
This is so not fair. I’ve come to accept your extraordinary cake baking & decorating skills, your photographic talent, and your gift with words. Must I add pies to the list, too? I mean, just look at these two beauties! They’re as near to perfection as any pumpkin pie could aspire to be. So not fair.
Suddenly I’m so glad we still have Thanksgiving (and lots of pie!) to look forward to!
They look so yummy…I’ve never had success with pumpkin pie but I think it’s psychological ..the very first one I attempted I bought a can of pumpkin pie ….one that my mother used but I never watched her make it I guess and after I was married I poured the contents of the can into a pie crust and baked it!….My poor little brother in law had a piece and his comment was….’sure is pumpkiny’….End of story….Diane
Too cute!! Your brother-in-law is so polite! My brother would say something similar and then give me that “look” and we’d both be doubled over laughing! xx
I was glad to have an excuse to bake one, we didn’t make a pumpkin pie this past Thanksgiving. I really missed it!
That Chatelaine recipe was a keeper.. so you can blame them instead of me.. sometimes, it just takes being a good recipe reader/follower of instructions:D Other times, well..
I haven’t given up at all.. in fact, I’m starting to quite like it (after only two sessions, lol!). I think it’s the whole “zen” thing about being in the water.. I will keep practicing! Those life guards give out good tips too! xx
You know, I believe that’s true! Sometimes they do seem a necessary evil? xx
That’s so interesting, I thought most Thanksgivings had Pumpkin, but I guess Apple would be an awesome choice too! What do you usually make?
Haha.. those little red cups just cheer me up to no end.. no more blah boring white.. but pretty Red!! xx
Thank you so much!! They were fun to make and not very difficult!
I think you could make a great gluten-free crust by crushing any good g-f cookie.. Then the crust problem is solved:)
I sure would if I could!!
I adore apple crumble.. that would be very tempting as well:)
Hahaha.. it sure does:)
Some day I ought to put together a book for my kids.. although they’re not as interested in cooking at this stage of their lives;) Nooo.. not the thiiiiggghhhhssss!! xx
I was thinking you could crush any Gluten-Free cookie and add butter then bake.. it would be worth experimenting I think. Thank you!!
I know.. one fellow was a wee bit disappointed when he found out it wasn’t whipped cream, but it tasted great:)
It was fun to make, I didn’t change a thing.. and went to buy the magazine so I could try a few of the other recipes. It was a good month:) ps I did sample
I am!! I love it!!
I know you do.. that’s why you’ve always got friends over and you make them the most wonderful food:) I’m still swimming! Now everyone here will keep me accountable…
Haha.. thanks! xx
Thanks so much! I do feel influenced by the seasons.. maybe because they’re so much more extreme here. Change of seasons means change of landscape, clothing.. and then the food:) xx
Hahaha, yeh, me the big risk taker and all;)
Oh, dear.. you and my brother!! Now they’re two of you! I couldn’t convert him either so.. I’ll just have to let this one go
I sure wish I could!! xx
So far, so good, Tandy!
How do companies ship food.. one day I must try having a cake shipped here just so I can see how it’s done!
I like that.. “sweetly hungry”. xx
I love that little bowl.. the color and the designs/drawings inside:)
That’s a good one!!
Oh, I couldn’t imagine you burning anything.. you’re so talented in the kitchen!! That would make for a good blog story thought:) Yes.. calories free!!
I would love to see your Pumpkin Pie.. it’s fun to be inspired here:)
What goes in the post, stays in the post.. you are now sworn to the utmost secrecy! Sally said and so it was. That sounds like the start of another post.. xx
A white what, sorry, I am too distracted by your pics of pie to focus on anything else.
Mandy
Wow this is so good! I cant stop staring at those yummy photos!
The crumble was good – and the custrad too. *smile
Yes, remembered that I haven’t eaten icecream for over 10 days. I must be sick … !!!!!
Ha keeping up !! No chance from this side of the pond
I’ll be totally honest – I’ve never made an american/canadian/ or other pumpkin pie. Savoury yes, sweet no.
With merrangue topping? Uh uh! I just can’t get my head around that one.
Picked yourself up yet …..
I look at them and think, yup that looks good/gorgeous/amazing…… and then that’s where it stops !
Now if I was offered a slice of pumpkin pie that would be different…… so I’m on way way round
I had my first Starbucks gingerbread latte last week. Love this season!!! These pies are beautiful Smidge. The gingerbread cookie crust does sound quite good.
That gluten-free pie looks great!
If you put those 2 pies in front of me, I swear I would not touch them with my fingers. No, it is not a lie, but I will dig into them with my fork.
I like pie but these look amazing! Definitely going to try the Black Bottom! Yum!
You are so right — gluten-free ginger snaps make a wonderful pie crust! Barb, your pies are beautifully done, so very inviting to celebrate. Happy Thanksgiving!
OMG – My pie dreams are real – YUMMERS! Thanks for sharing!
Once I learned what I’d done…we did have a good laugh..Diane
I LOVE pumpkin pie! Nice job!
Both of these pie look delicious but I have to admit that the Black bottom pie really caught my interest. I’d love to taste it so I guess I’ll need to make it. Hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving!
I have never had a pumpkin pie with meringue on top. And the ginger cookie crust sounds even better. These are my types of pies; love them!
Barb, that first photo made my entire mouth fill with saliva! Lie away!!
As always, inspiring and gorgeous!
I love pumpkin pie, meringue and gluten doesn’t like me–so you’ve just made my day with this recipe! YUM
Oh goodness! Each one is spectacular! I was hoping one would emerge as the “favorite” but I can’t decide. Maybe I can make one or two now and follow up with Christmas! Pumpkin is a favorite in my family year-round. My son-in-law even asked for a pumpkin pie for his October birthday, and gingersnaps are my dad’s favorite cookie, so I think I must commit! I don’t know that I will ever bake as beautifully as you do, Barbara, but the recipes are so lovely I know they will taste good…and I don’t have to take photographs of my end result!
Aaaah, that explains it! Canada is why us folks south of the border see Christmas decorations everywhere before Halloween even hits! Hehehe, just kidding . The pies look fantastic, Smidge, especially the one with all that fluffy meringue!
It would never have occurred to me to put meringue on a pumpkin pie – it looks so lovely! Both pies sound and look so good, but I know I’ll never be able to serve one at Thanksgiving. That’s because my daughter the Tradition Enforcer is adamant that old recipes not be adjusted in any way when it comes to the apparently sacred menu for this holiday. On the other hand, I could make one of these pies any other time that I want!
Oh my gosh that meringue is beautiful. Even though we haven’t had Thanksgiving here in America yet, I’ve already started my shopping, and even listened to some Christmas music this week.
Thats the prettiest pie so far today and in general I believe. Number 4 is for sure a lie, right? =P
Just looking at your pie makes me feel guilty and I have a feeling I gained a couple of cages by the minute. lol I d love to make it, so thank you for sharing it with us, its the right and only decision.
[...] The main… [...]
These both look fantastic! I love the idea of meringue on a pumpkin pie. I may suggest that for this year’s Thanksgiving!
You ARE in time for Thanksgiving! I love everything about BOTH of these pies! But I can’t keep up… my neighbors have put up Christmas lights and its got me all out of sorts. Not yet!! Thanks for visiting me at Carol Anne’s page– your site is gorgeous; I might be lost here for days! My gravatar’s not linking back properly… I’m at http://www.sugardishme.com. Thanks for the gingersnappy twist!
I know where you are.. I’m already following you, lol:D xx
I’m don’t which to choose – lies or pies! Let me just say I love the sound of the crust – I think I just might have to give it a try.
Drat. I shouldn’t have read this – now I’m going to have to go to the shop and pick up a tasty treat..
This looks over the top delicious Smidge! I think I’m going to have to make this one. Yum! And Gluten free too! My youngest is gluten free. I should be but with my line of work it’s not always possible.
Wow you have been busy.:)
this looks delicious!
I love meringue on any pie – these look divine!
Pumpkin and pecan?! Sounds like the perfect combination!
I am looking for gluten free recipes for my family and ran across this. Wow. This looks so good. I limit my goodies, but I will have to try this.

We were totally “caked-out” from my daughter’s birthday and the Cinnamon Streusel Pumpkin Coffee Cake I racked my brains for something “else” that would be suitable but unique for a special birthday… my son, Phil’s, 19th to be exact! ♥ When he worked at Mercato West, our favorite restaurant, he worked hard to perfect the…
Yum! HAPPY BIRTHDAY to both of them!
Stunning! I wanted a photo of it on a spoon! Enjoying a lovely dessert at home is the BEST way to have any dessert! Especially in your jammies!
Valerie
What a lovely dessert for the occasion. I hope everyone is better soon.
I will have to get that kitchen torch ONLY to make this amazing looking meringue-pannacotta! I already know I would like to do this using Italian meringue… happy birthday!
Totally loving the idea of these for an afternoon dessert with the girls! I love panna cotta, truth be known I love anything with fresh cream, so this is right up my alley! They look very classy too!
Smidge, when you rack your brain, genius happens! (case in point!) This goes on my list for the holidays. Love it! (and happy birthday Phil – you lucky lad!) Beautiful photos too Barb – the first one especially grabs me (and won’t let go!) xox
Happy Birthday to Handsome Phil! (you should definitely tell him I said so, at 19 compliments don’t spoil that much, right?
You know, I have that recipe from Giada’s bookmarked to “try soon” – you outdid her by a huge shot, if she sees your post she might consider quitting TV and giving you her spot… seriously
I like the modifications you made, and I intend to surprise my Phil with it sometime soon….
Yet another reason to buy a kitchen torch. These sound amazing!
I love your blog – the pictures are always so pretty… Thanks so much for sharing!
That looks fantastic. I’ve never heard of meringue powder. I make meringues every week as my wife is an addict! The other thing is that I always hear of people using cream of tartare – I’ve never owned any as I don’t know what it is or what it does. I normally add a pinch of salt to the egg whites, and add 32gms of sugar for each egg white. I have to try your cappucino panna cotta defiinitely.
This looks absolutely sinful – thanks so much for sharing! Have a Great Day:)
looks like the perfect birthday treat! happy birthday to your son and hope you two are feeling better!
Amazing!
Oh my, I’m in love just with the thought of this dessert
uuughhh YES that looks amazing!!! wish i had an espresso machine..
You are an artist…
Cappuccino is one of those things I treat myself with, kind of like comfort food, so this just speaks to me Hubby’s got me working hard cleaning out some things for Goodwill today, but I will be making this as a treat when we’re done. It’s beautiful, Barb! Perfect in every way for me! Thank you for this. xoxo
Thanks, Susie.. I’m done.. 1 Thanksgiving 5 birthdays, 1 Hallowe’en.. and now Remembrance Day is next.. then Christmas, aaaahhh!
Thank you! It’s yummy in jammies.. I loved the texture of the one at Mercato’s though.. I need to get back there to order it again soon!!! xx
Thanks, Karen, I’m about 110% now.. my son is almost there, thank goodness! My daughter didn’t get sick because she takes about 9 echiniceas a day, lol!
I don’t use it too often.. but when I do it’s fun! My son toasted them for me this time:D
They’d be fun for tea time too:D
Thanks spree… coming from you this is an awesome compliment!! xx
I will tell him for sure.. everyone could use a compliment a day I think! Sally.. you’re just an amazing cook/baker/writer!! I hope you try this recipe, I couldn’t believe how easy panna cotta is to make.. xx
I love my torch.. I need to find another recipe so I can play with it again:D
Thank you, Michelle.. I love your blog as well! xx
Well, the jury’s out on the meringue powder for me, it didn’t taste nearly as good. But in this situation, if you’re not in the mood of “tempering” the egg white for food safety, it’s a lot faster and wouldn’t spoil as quick, I don’t think. I just read up on cream of tartar when I was making these.. it’s a substitute for the wonderful properties of a copper pot. Now I know what to wish for at Christmas time!! I think the copper does something to the molecules?? But you probably know better than I:D
You too.. I was curious to see who could comment and who is without power.. I hope no one in our little blogging family!!
I am lots better.. Phil is almost there, thank you for asking! xx
Thanks!
It’s sure a pretty one:) It would be fun to try a lemon panna cotta, don’t you think?
Safeway here has espresso powder in a jar.. I bet it would taste just as good:D
Thanks so much xx
Oh.. the Goodwill job, I did that a few weeks ago in my kids’ rooms, it felt so good. I tend to be a “collector” (polite way of saying hoarder.. a neat hoarder, though;) Good luck with it! Be ruthless, my mom always said!! xx
ps… I printed off the clam chowder recipe for tonight!! xx
I think Phil would have been more than happy with this, what a gorgeous dessert
Cheers

Mine is just starting! 4 November birthdays from the 11tth to the 20 and 1 December birthday right right after Christmas! Thanksgiving in between!
These clouds are so fluffy I want to dive in. Great photography!
Happy to hear that!
You come up with the best ideas. And the presentation is gorgeous. What a wonderful idea for a birthday dinner at home. Happy 19th to Phil. Your children’s birthdays are so close together! xx
Maybe you could try the torch out on creme caramel – although maybe you dont use a torch on that im not sure
Oh my goodness. This is to die for. It will be someone’s birthday this weekend, because I must make this.
Those look really rather special, Barbara!
Happy 19th to Phil!
Glad to read you’re both doing better, Barb, but you sure didn’t let a little virus stomp your creativity. These desserts are beautiful. Panna cotta is a wonderful dessert, no doubt, but to top it off with meringue and then torch it? Very nice! And I haven’t even mentioned the incredible presentation. Between this panna cotta and your cakes, Mercato West should give you a job as their Pastry Chef. You really are talented, Barb, and and it’s always a treat to come here and see what you’ve cooked up. Today was no exception.
You are amazing creative artist into the words and in the kitchen and in the photography! Happy Birthday to your son. Everything seems so beautiful and so delicious, so delicious… Thank you, love, nia
Works of art, Smidge!
Ohh what a classic way to celebrate another year of life!! Coffee is the elixir OF life after all! Happy Birthday to your son!
What a clever and inventive combination -these sound gorgeous – I am sure I could eat a whole one myself. I hope everyone is feeling better.
amazing!!!
I wont one cup….. please
I so wish I were having this for dessert tonight. I love coffee desserts. Alas, there is no gelatin in the house…
Hey Smidge, love the idea of combining a classic panda cotta with the toasty brûlée topping and ‘meringue foam!’ Need a few make ahead & chill recipes coming up for Summer here so much appreciated!
Barbara that looks like the perfect dessert. Love the sounds of this! Anything that involves coffee and meringue is good, involving the two together? Divine.
Oh Smidge, this is just heavenly!
Mandy xo
That is an amazing interpreation of a wonderful dessert – and you were feeling ill too. Do hope you are all better, especially after all the celebrations you have been cooking for!
What a wonderful dessert. The inspiration and interpretation are inspired! Happy Birthday to the son, and hope everyone feels better soon!
Looks and sounds divine.
I’m really sorry you weren’t well enough to go out, but I think I’d rather sit at your house and enjoy your fabulous cooking in the comfort of a warm home! You have such a wide range of talents, Smidge! I am sure the restaurant couldn’t offer anything more beautiful and tasty!
I will cook all day and serve wine all night if you will make this in return! I am a fiend for creamy, meringuey, lush desserts….I want this for breakfast lunch and dinner.
Hahaha.. then it will be time for a jog:D
Thanks!
You are just far too young to have a 19 year old. This dessert looks so incredibly beautiful, I just LOVE it. I will definitely have to steal your idea for sure. We have Mercato in Toronto, I wonder if it’s the same restaurant group.
Thanks, CCU:D
I do love anything meringue for that reason:)
They sure are.. my husband’s mom and sister have a birthday in October as well!
Oh, I think you mean creme brulee.. I think that’s a great idea!!
Hahaha.. someone must be having a birthday this weekend, surely?
They’re a cute presentation for sure.. wish I could take credit.. but that goes to Mercato:D
I’ve thought about Pastry Chef school, you know, but then I’d have to stop focusing on making cheese, pasta, braising meats.. what fun would there be in that Thanks so much, as always, your complimentary words make my day!
I will tell him for you! Thank you, nia xx
What beautiful photos! And what a perfect little treat for a special occasion!
They are fun, especially swirling up the meringue:)
Oh, my gosh, we drink so much of it too, eh?
Well.. I definitely tried.. and made it just past half way, and finished the rest the next day, lol! We’re both lots better now thanks! Hopefully that’s over with for the year!
I wish I could.. I bet you have a great recipe for panna cotta?
I’m so impressed that you’re still sticking with your plan. How many more days are left??
How I wish it was summer here.. only 7 months to go, lol!
They are an awesome combination that’s for sure.. and so silky!
Thanks, Mandy! xx
I think it’s work that makes me sick.. I could bake every day and not get tired, lol! But work, that is another story altogether! xx
I will tell him for you. We are much better now, thank you for your well wishes!
Ahhh.. what they offer is a night off And variety and being waited on with a smile is something I could get used to:D xx
Well, now, you’ve just made my day. Yes, I had my first child at 16, lol.. just kidding. It is a great idea for a make ahead dessert for sure. I don’t know if they are connected.. somehow I don’t think so or we would have heard about it? Is it a great restaurant?? I might just google it to see!
Thank you! It’s great of you to visit!
Of course, you are so right! I was thinking of myself as your guest! LOL! Not the cook! Oh so sorry…hahaha! You probably get that reaction frequently being such a gracious host. I hope you get a little “time off” this weekend, Smidge!
Oh, I don’t know. “Work With What You Got” was supposed to be for the month of October. It is November now but I am still short on income. I’ll know what I’m doing by Sunday’s post.
It’s lovely. I believe there are three in Toronto, we like the one on Bay Street. I’ve been to the one at the Eaton Centre and don’t care for it. I haven’t been to the third one.
Just Googled them and our’s have two T’s in their name.
So pretty…and looks so delicious! Very creative! Yum!
This was amazing Barb. Wow. Thanks again for the recipe!
That is just gorgeous looking meringue!
What a great substitute for cake! This is a gorgeous dessert and what flavors! I love a good panna cotta and the meringue on top looks delicious!
What a fabulous dessert!
Another incredibly beautiful and tasty sounding dessert. Happy Birthday to your son and your daughter!
that looks gorgeous! i think i have some espresso powder that needs to be made into this, for sure.
Wow, even when you are ill you make gorgeous and delicious goodies! Your children are very lucky to have such an amazing mom. Hope everyone is feeling better now! Holiday season’s a comin’!
What heavenly little clouds! I wish you ran a restaurant on my block.
Very nice dessert! Well done, I have to do some of this soon
Sometimes coming here is like entering a dream land. A very pretty, tasty dream land.
I have already said happy birthday to your daughter, so Happy Birthday Phil!
This is something that suits me … have done 1000 and more 1000 panna cotta in my days, but never anything like this .. under a “roof”. This I have to try. Barbara, your recipe says tartar – is that the same as in tartar sauce ???? Doesn’t make any sense to me, but it doesn’t have to do that to work. Or is it something of your weird and wonderful products you have over there. Beautiful and so indulgent photos.
I hope everyone is feeling better! Happy birthday to your daughter and son!!! I love how you browned the edges of the meringue. It looks perfect!
Oh, dear.. Nooo, not tartar sauce.. It’s a powder here sold in a tiny box called cream of tartar, but if you don’t have it, you can make the meringues without:D
I knew it was something wired and wonderful again. I have heard about powder that keep the meringues stiff.
Thanks for coming back to me.
Beautiful photos, Smidge, and what a beautiful recipe! My four-year-old daughter is sitting on my lap and said, “Oh, yummy!” They sure do look it (!), though I think she’ll need to refrain from the espresso for a few years. Good health to all. xoxo
I love the presentation! How adorable and absolutely delicious.
That is about as divine of a “cap” that I have ever seen Barbara. Love it!
[...] kinda early. It’s my own fault but at that precise moment, I had just finished the gorgeous Cappuccino Panna Cotta I saw yesterday at Smidges, the bread was rising and the Moroccan Braised Beefwas already made and [...]
Happy belated birthday to your son and your daughter
They are indeed lucky to have such a wonderfully talented mum
Happy belated birthdays! What a gorgeous meringue. I hesitate to use the torch, but your dish inspires me.
It is funny because I always ask my son (20) to help with fire if he is home!
I have renamed your dessert to “Heaven in a bowl”.
That’s an awesome Title.. I’ll remember that for the next fluffy meringue dish I make:)
These are GORGEOUS! What a great discovery.
And I have passed in my hand held kitchen torch for a real one (it’s small but I could solder pipes with it!)
I hope you have your body back… and have taken time to rest. x
Wow.. A real torch!! Now that would be so much fun!!!
It’s about time to use that torch I had for so long now!! Lovely dessert!
Oh my how heavenly! It looks so fluffy, the name fits perfectly! Gorgeous picture, you’re such an inspiration

I so want one – YUMMERS! Happy Friday – Happy Chocolate:)
These look delicious! And what a treat to help studying along. xx
Fantastic, Smidge! Looks like brain food to me (in the best possible way!) Bite-sized little poppers when you need a boost – I am definitely going to give these a go! I have some little GFers in my clan too!
xx (wish good good luck on those exams!)
These look really good. I love how decadent they look yet there’s no sugar. Amazing how you were able to find those chocolate drops and how refreshing to see just three ingredients on the list – if only all packaged food was made with real ingredients and nothing harmful xx
These look utterly lovely and so healthy my friend
Cheers

Not a cookie maker, but this I think I would be able to pull off.
Why does the baking sheet lined with parchment or with silpat liners.??? In clear language what does that mean???
I hope you will have a great weekend.
This one is *begging* to be fixed chez Sparks!!!
Sounds delicious, Barb, and glad to see that the Emeril recipe is the GF gift that keeps on giving. I just don’t think a snack that requires a spot on the counter is right for this household. Whether left on the counter or in Max’s feed bowl, the difference in its shelf life would only be minutes, if that.
I think Max would go crazy with these left-out.. but then again, so would I:D
It’s quite a sticky dough, it’s my way of making sure the cookie comes off the cookie sheet easier:) If you have a non-stick pan, you should be ok! xx I hope you have a wonderful weekend as well! xx
Now that would make shopping so much easier:)
Ahh, brain food, I think it was smarties back in my day:)
Fantastically healthy and sugar free! Good luck to the girls for the exams
I want to come and live with you for a week – always such decadent delicacies coming from your kitchen Smidge.
Mandy xo
Best of luck to you all with getting through the exams.
These sound like something I would not feel bad about eating a whole batch of. Dangerous!
Shellfish in chocolate? Who knows – as you probably know by now we’ve been eating horse for years in ground beef without knowing it – so anything is possible
Okay, now I understand … I don’t really know how I read it the way I did – blame my Swenglish. I will give them ago.
We’re not a gluten-free household, but my littles each have friends who are. I’m going to tuck this little recipe into my file so that I have something homemade for them when they come to play. Thank you for sharing!
Hope you will post a follow up after you add the brown rice flour. Leaving anything with chocolate in it on the counter is not an option for me (they will not be on the counter for long) as I am trying to maintain a certain weight.
These look like the perfect mix of wholesome and decadent!
I can’t believe how easy these are…they also look nice and rich YUM!
They look like delicious mini-meteorites!
Lovely little cookies! Delicious combination of ingredients!
Hello Smidge, You are such a great mom-making cookies to help our teenagers get through exams and deadlines. I am sure these delicious little chocolate bombs will help them preserver through the worst of it. Exams and expectations are getting more difficult each and every year, especially here in HK, China, some really tough competition here. I feel sorry for our kids as it was not like this all those years ago when we attended school. All the best to your crew for success. You have changed your theme again, every day I visit it is a fun little place to visit. Did you make the switch over? PS: I am having a difficult time leaving comments. Did this one go through? Take Care, BAM

Oh my Barbara!! These are over the top chocolate delicious in a good way!
I loveee those chocolate chips!! They are amazing. These cookies are right up my alley!! No need to store them, I would eat them all in one sitting!
Yummy Smidge! I love how this recipe includes ingredients that most people would already have on hand. You gotta love convenience! I’m looking forward to making these with my kids. I think that they would absolutely love it! PS- I have a GF muffin recipe that I’m going to send to you. I made it over the weekend and it was a hit! xx
Oh, please do.. I’d love to have that recipe!
These are perfect!!! The ingredients all sound like they go together perfectly for flavor. Thanks, Barb! These are the perfect treat me for….a little afternoon pickup, ya know?
Lovely photos, great looking cookies. And no sugar? Wow, these look wonderful! Truly good stuff – thanks so much.
That does not look vegan at all, Looks good!
I have a GF friend who would LOVE these! Definitely passing this recipe on!
My daughter will love these! She’s always looking for GF Chocolate cookie recipes. These look delicious!
I use those exact chocolate chunks in my Double chocolate espresso cookies! They lend such a different result than just plain old chocolate chips! Looks delicious Barbara!
