Hello Spring! Hello Cookies!

Cut-Out Sugar Cookies for spring

Spring has sprung and our thoughts turn to our gardens ... soon we'll be planting flowers and herbs, and heading outdoors again.  Time to invite the bunnies over for tea.  Perhaps some sweet chicks and butterflies, too.

Easter is upon us, as well, and a springtime assortment of cookies will be just the thing to nibble on with our tea in the garden after hunting for beautifully decorated Easter Eggs.

If a plateful of sweet, pastel-colored cookies isn't enough to delight and inspire, there are also lovely Apricot Sours, Classic Lemon Bars, Currant Butter Cakes, Jelly Slices, Coconut Macaroons, and Orange Cheesecake Squares as well, to welcome in spring in style.

It's new, and it's here ...

Our latest cookbook, the Afternoon Tea bakery Book of Cookies and Bars has arrived, with recipes galore to please every season, mood and palate.

Over sixty fabulous recipes chronicling our years of non-stop extreme cookie-baking marathons at the bakery.  Everyone's favorites are here, every cookie we ever put on our cookie trays and stacked in our counters, is included.  From the exquisitely heavenly Coconut-Raspberry Bars, to our assorted brownie varieties, the recipes we built our reputation on are all here in this book.
