She is a friend of my grandmas, or so I think. I'm not even sure of her first name, the colour of her hair, the names of her children, or even if she has children. What I do know is that she is incredibly generous to have shared this cookie recipe with my grandma.

  • Hopscotch Cookies, a variation of the classic haystack cookies with their nest-like appearance remind me of Easter. These no bake treats with simple ingredients are perfect for spring.

    These Hopscotch Cookies remind me of spring, I can remember the sun beaming through the windows, as my mom would scoop off a spoonful of the gooey peanut mixture onto wax paper to harden. She'd usually make these at Christmas time, but they always make me think Easter. They remind me of bird's nests and thus spring and thus Easter. Makes sense, right? So, I'm starting a new tradition with my boys and these will be our staple spring cookies.
