You can buy a popsicle mold on amazon.com and make popsicles all year long. Hey, there’s no time frame on a delicious popsicle so if you want to make them in the middle of the winter there is no judgement here. 

This would be a great recipe to make with the kids. Have them choose the fruit they’d like. They can measure and pour the items into the blender, push the button (I bet they’d like watching everything blend together) and help pour the fruit into the molds.

FRUIT and FRUIT COMBO POPSICLE IDEAS

• Blueberry Raspberry
• Vanilla Cherry
• Strawberry Mango
• Apple Cinnamon
• Peach
• Mango Chili

For combos that include vanilla or a spice you’ll just have to measure with your heart. I haven’t tried all these combos, but my theory is, if it’s good as pie or ice cream its probably just as good as a popsicle.

Go wild, create your own unique flavors. Have each kid pick a fruit and toss them all together to see what happens. 

Lemon Blueberry Popsicles Recipe

Lemon Blueberry Popsicles Directions

1. Blend all ingredients together in a blender. If it is too thick to blend or there is not enough to fill the cups completely, you can use a bit of cold water to level it out.
2. Pour or scoop blended mixture into popsicles and freeze until fully frozen, minimum 2 hours.
3. To remove from popsicle molds, run under hot water until they loosen up and pop out. 
4. Eat immediately. They can stay frozen longer just leave them in the popsicle mold.

The hardest part of this entire recipe is the waiting. Honestly, 2 hours is barely enough so the longer you can wait the better they should be. 12 hours would be awesome, but I totally understand that waiting that long isn’t always an option.

I mean, not to tell on myself or anything, but sometime the “popsicle” might be eaten straight out of the blender.

Don’t judge. I just call it a really thick smoothie. Hey, whatever gets us through the day.

Chocolate Cherry Cookies

Ingredients:

2 cups of unbleached flour
1 teaspoon of baking soda
1 teaspoon of salt
1 cup (2 sticks) of softened unsalted butter
3/4 cup of sugar
3/4 cup of brown sugar packed
1 teaspoon of vanilla
1 tablespoon of bourbon or whiskey
2 large eggs
1 1/2 cup of Milk Chocolate Chips
1 cup of Dried Cherries

Directions:

Preheat Oven to 375 degrees

In a medium bowl mix together flour, baking soda and salt. Add to mixer softened unsalted butter, sugar and packed brown sugar beating on a medium speed until creamy and smooth.

Using a small bowl beat eggs, vanilla and bourbon until well blended.

Turn mixer on low add 1/2 the flour mixer and 1/2 egg mixer to the sugar cream. Beat until completely combined then add the rest of the flour and egg mixture to the batter lightly mixing for 1 to 2 minutes.

Be careful to not over mix as cookies will not be light and fluffy.

Using a spatula fold in the chocolate chips and cherries to the batter. At this point batter will be a little sticky, so use a tablespoon to scoop and drop cookies onto a lightly greased cookie pan spacing 2 inches apart. Bake for 9-11 minutes or until cookies are lightly golden brown.

Remove chocolate cherry cookies from oven and allow to cool for approximately 3 minutes and then remove from pan and place on a cooling rack to finish cooling.

One of my favorite thing to use when baking is coconut cooking spray.  It makes baking easy and you can lightly grease your baking pans without having a chemical taste you might get from some of the other cooking sprays.

Quick Variation on Chocolate Cherry Cookies

Drop the cookie dough into a lightly greased 9×13 cake pan and spread the batter evenly around the pan.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees and bake for 20 – 25 minutes or until a butter knife comes out clean when poked into the batter.

Remove from oven and cool for 5 -7 minutes then cut into 2 inch square bars.

Remove from pan and finish cooling on a cooling rack.

HOW TO HOST A HOLIDAY COOKIE EXCHANGE

However, these sour cream cookies are a really close second. 

For as long as I can remember I’ve used my Grandma’s sour cream cookies recipe. 

For years I’ve had a gallon-sized ziplock bag packed with Grandma’s handwritten recipes bumbling around the house.

Sometimes I’ll find the bag in the pantry, another time forgotten and buried under piles of paper on my desk, other times tucked in an available spot on the bookcase. 

It never fails when I want to dig through her recipes I have to first find where I last left that gallon-sized bag.

I always think that someday I’ll get them all transferred to digital or put them all in a cookbook.

However, I kinda like holding the stained and slightly beaten recipe cards in my hands.

It’s a bit like holding onto the past and remembering the few good times with Grandma (yeah, lots to unpack there, but that’s for another day — lol).

This recipe never disappoints. I make it a couple times a year and the only thing I’ve ever changed is reducing the sugar by about a 1/4 cup. I may reduce it another 1/4 cup, but I’ll have to give that a try before officially changing up the recipe.

For now, here is Grandma’s Quick and Easy Sour Cream Cookies Recipe. I hope you enjoy them as much as we do.

Before you bake, have a fun cookie plate available to showcase your delicious creation! Our favorites are from Mud Pie!!

Snickerdoodle Cookies

THE TWIST 

Grandma’s snickerdoodle cookies have been my favorite cookie since childhood.

I love the cinnamon flavor of the cookie but decided to add a little something to take the cookies up a notch.

I debated on adding caramel, which would be delicious, but didn’t have the ingredients to make caramel in the house and running to the store wasn’t an option.

So, I settled on my next favorite cookie ingredient, peanut butter. I used a bag of mini peanut butter candy in a crunchy shell and had a light bulb moment.

Just when I thought snickerdoodles couldn’t get any better the peanut butter candies take it up one big delicious notch.

GRANDMA’S SNICKERDOODLE COOKIES INGREDIENTS

1/2 cup of butter, softened
1 1/4 cup of All-Purpose Flour
3/4 cup sugar
1 eggs
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon of cream of tartar*
1/2 cup of candy-coated peanut butter baking chips
2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon cinnamon

*Note: If you see a snickerdoodle cookie recipe that does not include cream of tartar you simply have a cinnamon cookie recipe and not the awesome snickerdoodle cookie recipe.

Cream of tartar is the ingredient that makes this cookie great!

Quick science lesson: the acid in cream of tartar is what stops the sugar from crystallizing when baked giving snickerdoodle the soft, chewy cookie we all love.

It is also responsible for that bit of tangy flavor in the cookie.

GRANDMA’S SNICKERDOODLE COOKIES DIRECTIONS

In a medium mixing bowl whip the butter with a hand or stand mixer for about 30 seconds. To the butter bowl, add 1 cup of flour, sugar, egg, vanilla, baking soda, cream of tartar and peanut butter chips. Mix until all ingredients are well blended together. Add remaining 1/4 cup of flour and mix it in.

Cover with plastic wrap and pop it in the fridge for about an hour to chill it.

Combine the 2 tablespoons of sugar with the 1 tablespoon of cinnamon in a small bowl.

When the dough is chilled, roll dough into one-inch balls then rolls in cinnamon sugar mixture. Place on ungreased baking sheet. Cookie balls should be placed roughly two-inches apart.

Bake at 375 degrees for about 8-10 minutes (I check the cookies at 8 minutes, if the edges are turning brown I pull them out, otherwise I let them cook for 2 more minutes or until edges are a pretty brown color).

Cool cookies on a wire rack.

Makes approximately 22 small cookies.
