I’ve settled on my cookies that I’m making to bring home to Singapore with me:

1. Oatmeal Raisin Cookies (my personal favorites)
2. White Chocolate and Macadamia Nuts
3. Gingersnaps
4. Madras Cookies (the recipe intrigues me – it calls for curry powder and almonds)
5. Peanut Butter Balls (they look like truffles, but with peanut butter inside, and a chocolate coating and crushed peanuts outside)
6. Giant Glazed Lemon Cookies
7. Cheese Cracklies
8. Deep Dark Frosted Brownies
9. Rich Chocolate Truffles (not technically a cookie, but I love chocolate truffles. I also got some quality Guittard bittersweet to make truffles with)

Yum…

What’s this?* A box of cupcakes? Yes!

I’ve been wanting to make cupcakes for a while now. Last week I nearly made cupcakes for Maggie’s birthday celebration, but ran out of time and brought unfrosted cupcakes (aka muffins) to her party instead. However, this week, I made real cupcakes! Food color in the frosting and all!

Look at my little pink cupcake. Ain’t she cute?

I will post the recipe tomorrow.

*Strange thing – I had to struggle for a few seconds after typing “What’s this?” because my fingers desperately wanted to follow it up with “A ranger, caught off his guard?”
