Secret Recipe Club is back in business after taking a month off! This time around, I was assigned Deeba’s blog, Passionate About Baking. Deeba has some great recipes, most of which are very sinful desserts…right up my alley!
I actually opted for one of the easier ones, and made them this past weekend for my cousin’s Super Bowl party…a HUGE deal in my family since we’re big Giants fans. Needless to say, we’re VERY happy today with our champions!
These cookies were not only delicious, but really easy to make. They’re cute little things! I appropriately decorated them with blue, white and red sprinkles…you can use whatever you like.

Thank you for baking one of my fave cookies Melissa. Glad you enjoyed them. Love the ‘sprinkled’ dressing up they got! My blog has since been under a hacker attack…sigh! Still trying to get it back.
