Frosted Sugar Cookies with a Hint of Lemon

Pumpkin Bars with (like Cinnabon) Cream Cheese Frosting
What’s new in the KrausnicKitchen? Well, we just put our house on the market. It is such an exciting time, but preparing our house for sale has occupied much of our time and energy.

But I’ve been disappointed with the lack of coffee infused desserts, especially cookies. Well, the day has finally arrived, … Continue reading
