Recipe: Hungarian Nut Cookies

Ah and here is our famous recipe. Everyone asks us for these cookies every holiday season, and it has come to be that time again! We have made them tonight to take to our friend's house tomorrow for Thanksgiving. Hopefully you can make your own cookies sometime and get just as much love and praise as we have in the past! The cookies have even won multiple baking awards! 

Follow the photos at the bottom to complete the cookies once the dough and filling are made.

Hello!!!

Hello my lovely Crocheted Cupcakers! Sorry for this long hiatus that I have been on. While I have not been baking so much, I have been crocheting up a storm! My friends & family will be getting some great Christmas gifts this year :)

Anyway, I hope all of you haven't lost faith in me as I will continue on with this Crocheted Cupcake venture in the future, as I have done in the past!

A few life updates: I went to England in July to meet my pen pal, Jess. It was fabulous! All of you should go to England at some point as the northern region is just beautiful. Then, for the past few months I have been busy busy with school (I'm a senior in college and will be graduating with my BA in Business Administration in the Spring 2013) and dealing with all these NJ natural disasters! Who would have thought that we would ever see gas rationing again? But anyway!

Here are some photos of my most recent crochet scarves. They include: Granny square with scallop edging, lacy, ruffle and zig-zag patterns. If you are interested in purchasing a custom scarf in one of these patterns, feel free to check out The Crocheted Cupcake Facebook page and message me! :)

Happy crocheting my lovelies!
