Fig Jam Biscotti are for fig lovers. And for biscotti lovers. And for jam lovers. These flavorful biscotti start out crunchy and soften slightly over time due to the layers of homemade fig jam that swirl through each cookie. Originally published: March 1, 2013. Last Updated: December 15, 2019.
Hamantashen Pocket Cookies
I realized, just this week, that I have been sending care packages for far longer than I had remembered. I was only thinking about college care packages. My daughter, my older child, went off to the wintry wonders of Iowa 6 years ago. I thought that was when my food-in-boxes obsession began, but I suddenly…

Hot Chocolate Mix and Mini-Marshmallows
Technically, this blog is about baked goods and this post isn’t about something baked. However, it’s the winter. It’s cold outside. Thoughts stray toward warm steaming mugs of something soothing.

Apple Pie Pudding Cookies, Lemon Meringue Pie Pudding Cookies, Grasshopper Pie Pudding Cookies
In most cases, mailing a pie in a care package is not a good idea. Crème pies need refrigeration. Fruit pies leak. All pies don’t appreciate being turned upside down or being tossed about. Pies are not sturdy and sturdy is what you look for in care package baked goods. So how about something that…
