Erie Street Cookies

Erie Street Cookies Following family traditions Now, I carry on the baking in the family, as a Cottage Baker.

Some of my cookies are based on recipes from my mother, who baked many dozens of cookies at each holiday when we lived on Erie Street in Spring Valley. She was well known for her frosted cut-out cookies, and after her passing, my father took over the baking and continued her traditions.

Why turn on the oven to bake when it's THIS HOT outside? Did you know you can make some simple no-bake cookies? Here's a quick recipe from the BAKERMAMA and you can get the kids involved too!

No-Bake Monster Cookie Balls - Yield 20

2 and 1/2 cups old-fashioned oats
1 cup creamy or crunchy peanut butter
1/2 cup honey
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
1/2 cup mini M&M candies

In a large bowl, stir together the oats, peanut butter, honey and vanilla until well combined.
Stir in the chocolate chips and M&M candies.

Roll dough into 2-tablespoon sized smooth balls and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Place in the refrigerator for 30 minutes or enjoy right away.
Once the balls have set, transfer them to an air-tight container and store in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.

Who thinks these would even last two weeks with the kids eating them? Enjoy!

How about some blueberry scones! They are not too difficult to make and with fresh blueberries available now (I pick mine locally), scones are a great way to use them or many other fruits.

There are many easy recipes out there to try, but the site I find most reliable is Sally's Baking Addiction. She's a real pro and her recipes are tested many times to be sure they're great for anyone to try.

Have you ever had Tsoureki? It’s a sweet Greek Easter bread, usually braided and baked with hard-boiled red eggs in the braids. My mother’s family was from Greece, and although we didn’t have traditional Greek foods often, I remember my mother and her sister, Mary cracking the red-dyed eggs at Easter.
This weekend is the Greek Easter.
Christos Anesti to my Greek friends!

I wonder how many of you have special family recipes that have been passed down through generations and still made? Some of the recipes I make are just those, passed down from others and only made by one or two in the family, who are trying to keep them alive and memorable for new generations.
The frosted cut-out cookies I make were first started by my mom, then continued by my dad after she passed away and he made them by the hundreds! Neither of my sisters attempted to make them, but always enjoyed them when I made them for holidays (almost every holiday).
I enjoy making our Greek recipes of Baklava and Spanakopita too, for family to enjoy.
Which special recipes are you keeping alive for your family?
