Most cookies with “melt away” in the name are very similar to the Butter Balls recipe I posted mid last week – a tender, buttery, nutty, shortbread-esque cookie coated in powdered sugar. This recipe for sugarcoated melt-aways (a.k.a. sugar crusted melt-aways) is in the same vein – it does...

Before mom started making them, I had never seen anything like these Chocolate Mint Surprises. In fact, until I started researching for this post, I still had not seen anything quite like these cookies. It turns out that this recipe is a homemade version of the Australian Mint Slice...

Italian sprinkle cookies are a traditional Italian cookie consisting of a soft, tender, cake-like cookie commonly flavored with almond, lemon and/or vanilla extracts dunked in sweet glaze and topped with colorful sprinkles. They are one of three cookies that I always associated with my Italian heritage — egg biscuits...
