TWD: Lemon Poppy Seed Muffin

I've been gone from Celestial Confections through the holidays and it's nice to be back. I LOVE lemon and these muffins were a perfect treat. I made them a couple of years ago and they were dry, I must have done something wrong. I made them again and I must have done something right! They were moist, yummy, lemony and devoured by all! They came together quickly and the glaze on top was perfect! Sorry for the lack of pictures, but check out A Cup of Sweetness for complete recipe and pictures.

A more interesting post next time...I promise.

TWD- Midnight Crackle Cookies

For the 3rd Anniversary of Tuedsays With Dorie, Laurie (who started this all), picked Midnight Crackle Cookies. These were wonderful little cookies! They came together in a snap and were enjoyed warm, out of the oven with a tall glass of cold milk. A little crispy on the outside and nice and chewy on the inside. I will definitely make these again and want to try the variation with ginger. Thank you Laurie for the great pick and for starting this great group. We started about 9 months into the group and have loved baking along every month and look forward to finishing this great book.
Happy Baking!!
