When presented with a cookie at Christmas, even icy demeanors go all warm and gooey.
The logic is simple but has great eloquence – the inviting aroma of sugary sweetness pulled from a glowing oven on a wet winter’s day is too tempting a homemade decadence - even the grouchiest of grinches can’t bah humbug a cookie at Christmas-time!
Scrumptious cookies from Sweet Treats by Jennifer have the love of baking from scratch cooked in. By tweaking the traditional “old school” recipes she learned from her mother and grandmother, Jennifer Scully creates delicious fall flavors with the earthy taste of the season including snickerdoodles, iced pumpkin oatmeal, and pecan praline cookies, as well as pumpkin rolls, apple crisps, and her mother-in-law’s coveted coffee cakes.
Give Me Some Sugar
Inspired to experiment in new ways from Instagram’s @CookingwithKarli and other food bloggers, Jennifer combines King Arthur flour, butter, sugar, Thomas’ Poultry eggs, and real vanilla extract, in a variety of tasty ways.
“I follow what’s on trend out there that I can add to the flavor profile,” she said. Playful touches include adding toffee bits, chocolate chips, and salty pretzels to create the Rockstar drop cookie, or mixing up a rich, moist, and chewy chocolate cookie and rolling it in sugar before topping it with handmade vanilla buttercream, fudge, rainbow sprinkles, and a cherry to create the Brownie Sundae cookie.
With a drizzling of white chocolate, morsels and tart dried cranberries are given a distinctly festive feel; while a brownie-like cookie layered with chocolate mint ganache and finished with chopped Andes Candies adds a refreshing zing to seasonal gift giving.
Finding the Sweet Spot
Share the abundance of the season by stuffing a stocking twice with Sweet Treats by Jennifer’s gourmet stuffed cookies to taste ultimate indulgence.
Two cookies in one, the Oreo Chipper is a double-stuffed Oreo cookie nestled snug inside Jennifer’s signature chocolate chip cookie dough, and sprinkled with crushed Oreos.
The creamy caramel dulce de leche topping her cinnamon sugar churro inspired cookies are mixed with semi-sweet chocolate chips for an unforgettable treat.
Whether gifting or enjoying yourself, Sweet Treats by Jennifer cookies are baked fresh when you order online and can be shipped or picked up within two days. Sold in gift boxes of six or 12, and larger batches by special order.
