Have you ever considered serving cookies and milk at your cocktail party, but you were afraid that they would come across as too childish?

Macarons and Macaroons are not the same thing! I can see how one could easily confuse the two — Their names are spelled very similar; they both got their start in Italy; and the recipe for both cookies start off with a base of egg whites and sugar. But, that is probably as far as the similarities go.

Now that the evenings are getting just a little bit cooler, try out the recipe for this sweet treat of a molasses tea cake. I can assure you that once you try this cookie, you will never be able to enjoy anyone else’s tea cake!

My son happily devours these ginger snap cookies every time I bake them. That makes me so happy because I love this recipe just as much as he does.
