Cookie Madness is a collection of recipes I’ve tried over the years. The original goal was a cookie blog, but these days I post recipes for brownies, cakes, pies, ice cream, cupcakes and other sweets. There are also a lot of gluten-free recipes here. The fastest way to find recipes is with the search tool, but you can also browse the Recipe Index. Thanks for visiting!

Popular Cookie Madness Recipes
Leaves are changing and so are the most popular recipes. Let's bake with leftover Halloween candy! The Subway cookie is still popular as is the well-loved Starbucks banana bread copycat. The cornbread recipe is still my personal favorite, while readers seem to really like the blueberry muffins with cottage cheese. If you haven't tried the CPS Butter Cookies, stock up on butter now and give it a go!

These don't require any decorating skill, but always get compliments at holiday gatherings or from cookie tray recipients.

Thanksgiving Favorites
Halloween has passed and we are headed full speed into Thanksgiving. Where has the time gone? Here are some of the friend and family favorites I plan on making in the upcoming month. I'm cooking this year and will be making Martha Stewart's turkey recipe that calls for a buttery cheesecloth, Martha Rose Schulman's wild rice stuffing from the NYT, my Slow Cooker Stuffing, plain green beans with lemon, Todd's famous Trader Joe's corn, challah, salad, mashed potato casserole and probably 4 or 5 of the desserts listed below.
