Just a few more days until Christmas… which means I have been running around like crazy trying to tie up loose ends and getting everyone checked off my list (this has yet to be accomplished). I have started some baking, but I still have the bulk of it to do this week along with an …

Today I’ve united with twelve other incredible food bloggers to bring you a holiday cookie celebration so big, it’s being monitored by the North Pole.

With the holidays quickly approaching, you will definitely be seeing a lot of cookie recipes on my blog in the coming weeks. The first delicious cookie recipe I am posting is for Soft Ginger Cookies. I came across this recipe on allrecipes and was amazed with the number of reviews and although I dislike molasses, …
The month of October seems to be exiting as quickly as it entered. Since autumn is definitely my favorite season here in Ohio, it saddens me to see the gorgeous leaves hitting the ground and the temperature rapidly descending. The month of October is not just about the turning leaves, the warm sweaters, and the …
If you follow me on Twitter, you may know that I am slightly obsessed with all things pumpkin right now. It’s a seasonal addiction of sorts that hits me mid October and lasts until around Christmas. I don’t know where the pumpkin addiction came from, in fact as a kid I hated the stuff. I …
I have said it before, and I will say it again: I rarely make dessert recipes twice. There are just so many I want to try and so little time! However, there are certain recipes that are so tasty and receive such high praise, I just have to make them over and over. This week …
As I was cleaning out my pantry the other day, I realized that I had a bag of peanut butter and chocolate swirl chips. I have no idea when or why I bought them, my guess would be I had some grand plan for them that lacked a great deal of follow through. Since they …
Back in July, I saw a post on Brown Eyed Baker for brownie cookies. If you have never been to her blog, check it out pronto…it’s fab! I was immediately intrigued, and they were on my baking to-do list for weeks. Once I finally remembered to purchase bittersweet chocolate from the market, I was all …
The July Daring Bakers’ challenge was hosted by Nicole at Sweet Tooth. She chose Chocolate Covered Marshmallow Cookies and Milan Cookies from pastry chef Gale Gand of the Food Network. It seems as though every month I procrastinate the Daring Baker challenges until the last possible second and this month was no exception. Late Saturday …
As a food blogger, I try to keep my site somewhat versatile in an effort to appeal to a vast audience. Although My Baking Addiction’s primary focus is on homemade desserts and decent food photography, I do try to throw in the occasional side dish and also attempt to supply my lovely readers with easy, …
I saw this recipe a few weeks ago on Maria’s blog, Two Peas and Their Pod. She posted them for her first wedding anniversary. Be sure to check out the post to see how absolutely adorable she is! I was drawn to the recipe for its simplicity and the fact that I had everything in …
If you follow me on twitter, you may remember me saying that I was on a mission to use up a bunch of stuff in my fridge and pantry before buying more items from the grocery store. Well, this mission includes baking. I have set out to use all the coconut, nuts, sweetened condensed milk, …
One thing I absolutely love about being a food blogger is meeting all sorts of fantastic people from all over the world. Another thing I love is getting feedback and recipe recommendations from my readers…in my opinion it’s very cool when people take time out their hectic schedules to email me recipes that they think …
On Thursday evening the boyfriend requested a “sweet snack” for the Cavs game. Since it was getting late, he had two options; brownies or cookies. He opted for cookies, so I debated a few recipes then settled on one for Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies. I rolled up my sleeves and headed into the kitchen …
Of all the things I whip up in my kitchen, the most requested baked good from the boyfriend is chocolate chip cookies. He loves them warm right out of the oven, but will happily consume them after they have been in the cookie jar for days. Being a food blogger, I cannot easily be convinced …
Of all the things I have baked in the past 10 months since starting my blog, I have never made biscotti. Well out of utter boredom I decided to make a batch on Monday night. Back in my college years I worked at a small Mediterranean restaurant which also owned a coffee shop that had …
Well it seems the April snow showers have come and gone and the sunshine has rolled in along with warmer temperatures. To celebrate spring and Easter I thought I would whip together some sugar cookies. Well the concept of “whipping” these together was no where to be found in my kitchen yesterday. Some of you …
One of my best friend’s mother makes one kick ass chocolate chip cookie. They’re puffy, cakey, soft and oh so delicious. My friend and I tried to use her mama’s recipe during the holiday season, but for some reason, they were just not the same. My friend blamed my oven; I blamed her. Long story …
This week’s recipe for Coconut Butter Thins was chosen by Jayne of The Barefoot Kitchen Witch. The ingredients for these cookies scream summer being comprised of lime zest, coconut and macadamia nuts. We had snow here in Ohio on Sunday, so I am not really stocked up with warm weather kitchen essentials. Instead of running …
Sugar cookies…if you are like me, you love the taste and texture of them, but are not so keen on the prep work involved. I have always been a huge fan of sugar cookies and certainly make them for special occasions, but sometimes I wish I could whip up a chewy, thick cookie and not …
From the moment I saw this recipe on The Repressed Pastry Chef’s blog, I knew I would be making it at some point in the very near future. Em posted this recipe for Pie (Pi) Day and it looked easy and delicious. When I was at the market last weekend, they had pie crusts on …
I first came across this recipe a week or so ago when I was browsing a cooking/baking message board. The author of the post said that the recipe for these cookies came from Williams Sonoma. Many individuals on the board were intrigued by the cookies; posts started popping up professing their love and proclaiming them …
I don’t know about you, but Oreo cookies rank high on my list of fattening sweet treats. There is something about the crisp chocolate cookie sandwiched together with a yummy vanilla cream that makes me drool a little! In fact, I find it hard to even have them in the house. I truly love them, …
Well I have been staring at a random box of lemon cake mix in my pantry for months now. I am not a huge fan of cake mixes and for the life of me I cannot remember why I purchased it in the first place. However, I was determined to use the mix this weekend …
