I love when we go shopping State side, I always find new things to bake and cook with. This time, I found pumpkin spice morsels by Nestle Tollhouse; they taste like pumpkin pie and they’re orange! I had to try them out for myself, I wish I got more than one bag they are so good! I am excited to share this recipe with you, hope you like these cookies as much as we do. These are excellent cookies to make ice cream sandwiches with….
Cookie Recipes
Sekerpare
Şekerpare is an Albanian and Turkish butter cookie soaked in syrup. I had a really good recipe for it that my friend Candan and I came up with years ago until I lost it! I tried so many recipes since then and it never turns out good, the dough would turn out crumbly, or they just wouldn’t bake nicely. I find that the recipes that ask for irmik/semolina were too dry….
Lemon Chip Cookies
Lemon chips? Yes, there is such a thing as lemon chips! They sell them at the bulk store in town, and they are so yummy! I had some taste testers try these cookies out to see if they are lemony enough or not, and I got mixed views!…
Black Forest Chocolate Chip Cookies
These cookies remind me of a black forest cake, chocolate and cherries and oh so very delicious. These cookies are so soft and tender, they’re great for ice cream sandwiches too! My kids love it with vanilla ice cream, you can use sweetened whipped cream as well that would be totally yum! …
Peach Cookies – Pjeshke
Peach or Pjeshke in Albanian these cookies are popular in Italy and other south European countries in the Mediterranean such as Albania, Macedonia, and Croatia, they are made on religious holidays, weddings and special occasions.
They are a labour of love that’s for sure, if you plan to make them, prepare your day accordingly as they do take time to make. If you can get someone to assist you with making them that’s even better:)

Lemon Crinkle Cookies
Ever since I seen these cookies on Pinterest, I have been wanting to try them out! It is quite a popular recipe! I noticed that others that tried this recipe, had different reviews and or experiences with it!
Some thought it wasn’t lemon-y enough, others that the cookies turned out fat and round not flat like the original, others said it wasn’t sweet enough that you need icing…so I took all this and more into consideration and decided to just try it out myself!

Cranberry White Chocolate & Pistachio Cookies
OKAY, there is a new cookie in town and its yummilicious! First off, the added pistachios just happened by chance! I had intended to add walnuts or pecans, but I forgot that I finished all the walnuts when I made baklava last week; I couldn’t find the pecans either so pistachio it was!

Frosted Sugar Cookies
Frosted Sugar Cookies aka Lofthouse cookies! My kids love them, they’ve tried them a couple times, and keep asking me to bake them. I just didn’t want to try and have them fail on me. Then I found a recipe from 365daysofbaking that had yogurt in it and I was sold! I finally baked ‘Lofthouse’ cookies! …
Mint Chocolate Meringue Kisses
These are one of my favourite cookies! I love meringue kisses! I love mint chocolate chips, if you can’t find any use dark chocolate chips and use mint extract or essence.
