Buttermilk Bacon Cookies with Bourbon Caramel Frosting

March 23, 2014 by The Runaway Spoon 1 Comment

Two of my very favorite Southern ingredients are creamy buttermilk and pig.  So, I just couldn’t resist adding the salty crunch of bacon to a classic, tender buttermilk cookie.  Swirling on a bourbon-y version of classic caramel icing makes this a real Southern overload cookie. I created this recipe several years ago for a party.  I wanted to combine my favorite flavors for … [Read more...] about Buttermilk Bacon Cookies with Bourbon Caramel Frosting

Sweet Tea Cookies

The flavor of sweet tea is the flavor of the South.  With the wafting aroma of mint and the tang of lemon, with that tooth-achingly sweet depth.  I love to transform those flavors into many forms, from bourbon punches to sorbet to these cookies.  They are redolent with those iconic flavors.

Strawberry and Cream Cookies

Tender, tangy and subtly sweet. These delicious little pillows are perfect for Spring.  The ricotta makes the cookies tender and adds a little tang, and the gentle hint of citrus in these cakey cookies is enhanced by the sweet citrus glaze.  With a little work, I think you could shape the dough into an egg shape for Easter, and can of course tint the glaze.

Cookies for the King (Banana Cookies with a Peanut Butter Glaze)

January 8, 2012 by The Runaway Spoon 4 Comments

January 8th is Elvis’s birthday.  If you grew up in Memphis, you know that.  For my 25th birthday (quite a few years ago, and not in January), I had a big party.  At Graceland.  The party was in the large lobby of the ticket pavilion, decorated (by Graceland) in pink, black and turquoise balloons.  We ate barbecue and danced to an amazing retro band called The Bouffants.  It … [Read more...] about Cookies for the King (Banana Cookies with a Peanut Butter Glaze)

I'm P.C. I think I am like most people. Somewhere in the middle between food snob and food schlub. Just being in the kitchen makes me happy. I live, mostly in my kitchen, in my hometown of Memphis, Tennessee.
