The most popular cookie recipe on my blog is technically not even a cookie recipe at all. But it’s so good that you might want to just skip the cookie tray altogether and make one of these cookie pies instead.
Just a thought 😉

Hi Katie, I am a recently diagnosed diabetic and am so grateful and happy to have found your blog. As a former dessert fanatic I am so relieved to know there’s still hope to enjoy yummy treats without jeopardizing my health.
I am not sure these are too unhealthy to start with, but how about a healthy twist on a kolacky?
Alexandra says
oh my. All of those recipes! I don’t know what I want to make first! for recipe suggestions what about a holiday flavored chia pudding recipe? or those holiday candy cane/peppermint cookies, tiramisu, eggnog cookies, strawberry shortcake. my favorite childhood recipe that I used to make all the time were cream puffs. I first was introduced when I visited a bakery called Bearded Papas on the upper west of Manhattan. Loaded with butter, white flour, and sugar though!!! I would LOVE to find a healthier version 😀

Hello Katie
This is my first time to request a makeover recipe for my grandmother’s crunchy cookies that go well with coffee, and are super tiny. She called them Danish Hermit Cookies. Her ingredients were: 1 1/2 C. Sugar, 2 eggs, 2/3 C. Butter, 2 T. water, 1 t. baking soda, 3 C. of flour (or more), 1/2 t. nutmeg, 1 C. chopped raisins, 1 C. chopped walnuts, 1 t. salt, 1 t. cloves, and 1 t. cinnamon. Mix all, roll into long thin strips, cut into 1/2 to 1 inch pieces, then flatten pieces to bake for 10-12 minutes at 350 degrees on lightly greased cookie sheets. I have no idea what the nutritional info would be. Probably not terribly healthy, but I am hoping you can make it happen . I’ve asked my husband for your cookbook for Christmas. Thanks for all your great ideas!

Katie do you ever make cocktails? I’ve been trying to find a vegan recipe for Hot Buttered Rum that doesn’t use margarine or “vegan butter”? Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated!
Sheri dakan says
I’d also love a healthy cocktail for hot buttered rum!
Chocolate Covered Katie says
I will put it on my list of things to try!

These look delicious!! I cannot wait to try making the pumpkin pie stuffed cookies. I’m curious if you’ve heard of the Perfect Bake from Brookstone? I just ordered it because is perfect for making small batches of desserts, great for baking with my children and something they can use as well. You can choose from hundreds of recipes in the free app, or upload your own custom recipe and then it shows you exactly how much to pour depending on serving size. If anyone else is interested in ordering it it’s currently on sale and you can even get discounts on your order if you visit the Brookstone coupon page (http://www.brookstone.com/brookstone-coupons) and use one of the current coupon codes! Thanks again for sharing your recipes!

I love your site, Katie. I hope you can answer a question for me. Although I don’t switch ingredients, and my oven is the correct temperature, my cakes and quiches fall once out of the oven. I also have tried opening the oven door once baked and leaving the item in the oven with the door open for a few minutes before removing it – doesn’t work. Nothing works. Oh and my baking powder is totally fresh.
Any ideas, suggestions, fixes?
Thank you very much, Beverly
