I've seen a lot of recipes for Easter basket cupcakes, but I finally found one for Easter basket cookies.  These are adorable and I know the kids would love to help make and/or fill these delicious baskets to give as gifts or for your Easter table.  They're a lot easier to make than you think.

Check out the recipe here:

I know you all love to support the Girl Scouts just as much as I do, but I want to share with you some awesome recipes based on the infamous Girl Scout Cookies.  This one is my favorite Girl Scout Cookie -- Thin Mints.  I especially love them frozen.   If you run out of cookies, try making these yourself.  You can have them anytime of the year!

I was searching for St. Patrick's Day cookie recipes for kids and came across this recipe that looked so delicious,  I had to share it with you.  This recipe is definitely not for kids.  It has a cookie type crust and rich filling made with sweetened condensed milk, Irish cream and coffee granules. 

I especially love that the whipped cream is made fresh with whipping cream, brown sugar, 1 tbsp Irish cream liqueur and vanilla.  It makes this easy recipe look and taste gourmet.  What a perfect way to start and/or end your St. Patrick's Day celebration.  

While watching the Free Dance tonight on the Olympics, it reminded me of these Cinnamon Swirl Cookies.  Lots of twirls, swirls and good fun.  Okay, maybe that's a little cheesy, but these cookies are to die for.  My hubby LOVES these cookies and if you're a cinnamon roll fan, you'll love them too.  I use pecans instead of walnuts, but feel free to use your favorite.

I made conversation heart cookies tonight.  Cute and easy as can be.  When they're dry, I'll use an edible marker to write my phrases.  Any new ideas for 2010?  Let me know by commenting on this blog.

Everyone will be clapping for these fantastic, five-fingered favorites!  The kids will love personalizing these cookies by tracing around their own hands and making a template to cut out the cookies.  They're also very easy to decorate using chocolates and candies.
