Motivated by a dream to own a bed and breakfast in Vermont and with great enthusiasm for discussing recipes, cookware nuances, and newly purchased cooking tools. I conceptualized my Second blog “The Butter Cookie.” with a fervor for food, baking, and a fragment of a dream into a treasure trove of tantalizing cookie recipes.

What you will find on The Butter Cookie: Classic cookie recipes for any time of year.  All made without a stand mixer, I mean not all of us have or want one.  Easy to follow directions without all the extra noise you don’t want, I only give you the information you need to make the recipe perfectly.

As a seasoned cook, I thrive on culinary creativity, respect for the tried and true, and a little flavor exploration. The cornerstone of my creativity lies in my pantry, where a rich selection of ingredients is always on standby, ready to be turned into delectable dishes. I often find myself veering away from cookbooks, adding my personal touch and disregarding certain spices such as Bay Leaf to truly personalize each dish.

Here you will find the perfect cookie recipes that I have taken from a lifetime of cooking experiences. Once you experience your own homemade cookies, you’ll never go back to strore-bought!

My culinary journey began in my mother’s kitchen, where homemade comfort food sparked an enduring love for all things food. My cooking skills evolved in Italy, working in a Cafe in the small town of Broni and learning the essence of quality ingredients . This was followed by a stint in London, where I mastered the art of whipping up quick breakfasts for a bustling B&B. My love of baking began in my mom’s kitchen and exploded in a Home Economics class!

My blog is a repository of the cookie recipes I’ve collected and crafted in my humble kitchen.
