Would you like a better way to make cut-out cookies?

Read all about this clever trick in my recipe for Simple Iced Shortbread Cookies—and adapt it to any cut-out cookie recipe!

This year, I brought these simple yet charming shortbread cookies to Thanksgiving, shaped into little pink hearts and served in a sparkling cut-glass dish for snacking—just like a bowl of M&M’s, but with a homemade touch. They were such a hit that guests kept sneaking “just one more,” and by the end of the day, the dish was empty. No leftovers meant no temptation for me the next day—a win-win!

Simple Iced Shortbread Cookies

These cut-out cookies have a thin layer of icing that hardens slightly as it dries so they don't stick together. The clever dough-rolling trick makes these treats irresistible and easy to shape.


If you're not in the mood for cut-out cookies, try these man-pleasing Thin Oatmeal Cookies with Coffee Icing. They're my husband's favorite!

Soft Serve Yogurt Creami

Thankfully, Greek yogurt is good for most people. To my yogurt-loving friends, Confession time: I’ve been eating these homemade frozen yogurt treats almost every day for the past three years—yes, even in the winter. They’re made with Greek yogurt (homemade, in my case), milk (dairy or non-dairy), and just a few mix-ins. Then they’re spun into something creamy and scoopable using a small machine called the Ninja Creami. It’s not your average ice cream maker—this one blends the yogurt after...

Slow Cooker Swiss Steak--in white serving dish; ready-to-serve

Thank you to everyone who wrote in with slow cooker suggestions. Most of you shared models you’re using and loving, and I appreciated every single note. If I wasn’t familiar with a brand or model, I looked it up! It’s always more helpful to hear from real cooks than from some roundup article listing the “10 Best Whatevers,” especially when the author hasn’t even tried the products—or got them free in exchange for a glowing review.
