Welcome to Cookie Madness, where I'll be posting recipes, reviews and photos. This is the very first page of the blog published in June 2005. The picture below shows some heart shaped sugar cookies with white icing. If you found this page while searching for a great recipe for cut-out cookies, you might want to check out some of the recipes in the links below.
The heart shaped cut-out cookies in this photo are my all-time favorite no-fail cut-out sugar cookie recipe. There are plenty of others! The best way to find things here on Cookie Madness is to use the search tool or check out the recipe index.

Hi Daniela,
I send most of the stuff I make to my husband's office. His co-workers are great testers! Sometimes I give stuff to friends. Sometimes I just scale things down (I love small batch baking) and eat it all myself.

I have been reading your blog for a while now and maybe you could answer a question for me: What do you do with all the cookies, brownies, bars and and and you bake every day?
Nice greetings from Chicago,
Daniela

Thanks for letting me know about that dressing. I have seen it, but haven't tried it. I won't bothe r now. And, yes, I have had the Bonny Doon Pacific Rim Riesling. I like it a lot! Another good wine for summer by Bonny Doon, is the Vin Gris de Cigare. It is a dry rose, that is wonderful with simple grilled foods/picnic fare. Keep up the blogging... 🙂

Hi Maureen,I'm glad you enjoy the wine reviews!As for the mango dressing, it was a bottled dressing called "Conzorzio" (Michael Chiarello's brand) which I picked up on a last minute whim at Central Market. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't super. It worked with the salad which was mixed greens tossed with red pepper, red onion, cashews, cilantro, pineapple, fresh ginger and lime juice, but I think a homemade mango dressing would have been better.Since I let you down with the dressing, I will give you a quick review on the wine. If you haven't already tried it, Bonnie Doon's Pacific Rim Riesling is outstanding and paired well with the spicy jerk chicken and the sweetness of the salad. I buy it all the time and have even warmed up to the idea of screw caps thanks to Bonnie Doon. It's sweet, slightly evervescent, and has a lot of flavors jumping around.

Hi Anna,I enjoy reading your blog. (Especially the wine reviews!) I was reading about your Carribean dinner. Did you use a recipe for the mango salad dressing, or was it from a bottle? If it was a recipe, can you please share it?
