The two recipes here are for goat cheese rolled in chopped pecans and feta rolled in chopped parsley, but you can really use any cheese and any topping. The other recipe in the magazine was Gorgonzola in bacon, but my sister and I are vegetarian.
Original recipe by Clairiece Gilbert Humphrey in Southern Living. Each recipe makes about 15.
Sugar cookie dough is almost overwhelmingly versatile; you can do anything with it, add anything to it. My mom and I make these bite-sized cookies every year for Christmas, but really they’re appropriate for any season, depending on what you dip them in.
Anyway, I suppose I should credit Sarah Quessenberry with the original recipe, which was in Real Simple magazine, but we made a few changes. This makes about 45, which is good because they go fast, and they make great gifts.
The sole reason I started this was so I could submit recipes to foodgawker, but I’ll start off with a post about the least boring things about myself:
. I am convinced everything smells better when combined with mint (cilantro+mint, celery+mint, rosemary+mint).
. I once imploded cupcakes. I no longer bake. (Ironically, my first recipe involves baking.)
. My favorite website in the whole entire world is aurgasm.us, and I’m a sucker for a good acoustic song.
. I am a staunch defender of the Oxford comma, and I die a little inside every time I have to edit one out for the newspaper as per AP Style Guide.
. I collect rubber ducks (but I promise I have friends).
. I am trying to start a garden, beginning with tomato plants. It’s not going very well (thunderstorms for the past three days = all the soil came out of the pots).
. I need to learn how to cook before I go to college, because currently my repertoire includes pasta and anything frozen. Eggos are my specialty.
