I am beyond thrilled to celebrate FROSTED YULETIDE MURDER‘s release! With the somewhat unexpected addition of Missy, our new mini Goldendoodle puppy to our household in April, my writing schedule was seriously derailed. It took a ton of determination by setting my alarm clock an hour earlier than usual and before the puppy needed to get up and writing in the dark so I wouldn’t wake her. I attempted to write seven days a week, one hour a day (I had no idea puppies demanded SO much energy and attention all day long!!!) but in the end I finally got the manuscript off to the editor in mid-October and to my cover designer. And Missy now gets to share the pages and the cover with my grand-doggy, Piper. A huge thank you to everyone who has encouraged my writing by leaving reviews for the previous books in the Cupcake Catering Mystery series – you definitely inspired me to tell this holiday story!

As a special thank you and as a holiday gift to you, the ebook is available for only $0.99 and the print copy has been discounted as well, through the end of December. Don’t miss out on the special price! And check out below, my recipe for Lacy Oatmeal Cookies which is one of several included in the book.

Set against the holiday cheer of twinkling lights, costumed carolers, and a festive line of extravagantly decorated boats participating in the annual Christmas boat parade in Newport Beach, California, cupcake caterer Emory Martinez finds that the grinch has crashed the party. Together with her sister Carrie, Emory is catering a delectable feast of holiday cupcakes and cookies aboard a luxury yacht for the new Mrs. Blair Villman and her guests.

Sparks fly when Carrie comes face-to-face with the hostess, who just happens to be Carrie’s high school frenemy, and old grievances are dredged up. Adding fuel to the fire, Blair’s stepson brings his mother, the former Mrs. Villman, to the party. Instead of celebrating holiday cheer, someone seems intent on channeling the Burgermeister Meisterburger and shutting down Blair’s party permanently. When Emory finds a body aboard the yacht, she needs to discover who iced the victim before the Scrooge ruins not only her livelihood but her freedom as well.

Lacy Oatmeal Cookies
Ingredients
  • 1 cup quick-cooking oats
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Optional:
  • 1/4 cup chocolate chips, your choice of white, semi-sweet, or dark
Instructions
  1. In a medium bowl, mix together until well combined the oats, flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
  2. Cream together the butter and sugar until fluffy, about 2 minutes. Mix in the egg and vanilla until incorporated then stir in the flour mixture just until combined.
  3. Cover dough and refrigerate for a minimum of 1 hour.
  4. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees (F). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  5. Form the dough into 2-teaspoon-sized balls (about 24 cookies) and place 4 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.

  6. Bake 1 sheet at a time for 14 to 15 minutes. The cookies should be golden, and centers should appear set.

  7. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes then transfer to a wire rack and cool completely.
  8. If desired, drizzle with melted chocolate. Allow chocolate to set before storing in an airtight container with parchment paper separating the layers. Consume within 3 days or freeze up to 3 months.
Tip:
  1. To melt the chocolate, place the chips into a microwave-safe bowl and heat for 30 seconds at 50% power. Stir. Repeat for 20-second increments, stirring well after each heat cycle until the chips are smooth. Place in a pastry bag or disposable ziplock bag and snip a corner to release the drizzle over the cooled cookies.

  7. Congratulations on the release on another fabulous, must read book!

    No I’ve never been to a holiday boat parade, but I have watched them on TV. They look like lots of fun to attend. I definitely would if I was ever by water while one was being held.

  9. I have never been to a holiday boat parade, I bet it’s fun though.
    Congratulations on your Release ?
    Thank you for the cookie recipe.

  12. I have not attended a holiday boat parade. Our city is located along a river yet no one has thought about sponsoring such an event.

  14. I have never been to a holiday boat parade but hear that there are some wonderful ones in Key West and Charleston ~

  15. Ok…I feel like I’m losing my mind…lol. You said 3 thoughts on “Lacy Oatmeal Cookies”…right?

    I am going to be trying this recipe out because they sound excellent. I’ve another version that is good..but it takes seriously good timing to get them rolled while still warm and pliable enough to shape. Needless to say they taste good, but looks…not so good. I bake a lot of cookies at Christmas.

    Do you come up with these recipes yourself? Baking can be so precise…I usually take an older recipe and just gradually make changes…or get brave and try a big change. The easiest one I had this year was making Banana chop chip. Used my basic recipe for applesauce cookies and just replaced applesauce with banana and added chocolate chips.

    Do you bake a lot at Christmas and during the year? I try to..but my grumpy old husband mutters and grumps. He has to do some of the running part while I’m filling cookie sheets…so far we’ve made Crownies, Hot Chocolate Cookies, chocolate crinkles, chocolate butter, strawberry, pineapple, lemon, orange, applesauce, lemon, and egg nog cookies. Today, we make banana chocolate chip, chocolate chip, gingerbread, pinwheels, and sugar cookies. After that, we make 2 kinds of fudge…chocolate and peanut butter. Because I’m making small amounts, it will be like a total of 35 -40 dozen. I make less and less each year which means my world, my bubble is getting smaller. Back in the day, with six children, we used to make about 350 dozen. Now the grump and I are down to the lesser amount. Guess that happens when you’re 74 and you’ve been married to your grump for 48 years! Our adult children run when they see mama starting to bake. lol. They do bake in their own homes though!

    Last thought, I am going to add these cookies in as an extra. Usually, I make and refrigerate all my cookie dough over a period of two days…and then just pull out and bake. Normally,mi start baking with the messiest…sugar cookies..and move on down until it’s just round balls or similar. Hubby wanted to change this year…..

    • Hi Renee, I hope you find these cookies easier to make than the rolled kind… which I’ve tried but never mastered, lol! For a lot of my recipes, I take a recipe (or even three recipes) and combine and make changes until I find a version that I’m happy with. Sometimes it takes me 3 or 4 attempts until I’m happy with the results. Your banana chocolate chip cookies sound awesome! And yes, I do bake a ton during Christmas, for our granddaughters’ teachers, aides, coaches, and friends, but I have to admit not nearly as much as you… 350 dozen is an amazing amount!!! I’m sure your family, friends, and neighbors love your special treats. Although since the pandemic, I’ve cut WAY back since some people are wary of receiving baked goods. When I was baking up to 250 dozen cookies each year (with no kitchen elves to help out, lol) I’d mix up the cookie dough and form into balls then freeze. Then when I needed to bake, I’d let the dough balls defrost on cookie sheets for 15 minutes then bake. It definitely made the entire process much easier at Christmas. Wishing you and your family a Merry and sweet Christmas!

  17. Kisses to Missy and, of course, Piper! So cute! I was at a boat parade once but it was for the Fourth of July.

  18. No, I have never been to a boat parade but have seen them on the news they look like fun to watch live

  25. Yes I have it was in Santa Cruz, Ca and it was so neat to see. We were down there for the weekend and they just happened to be doing the boat parade and all the boats were decorated up it really gave you the willies when you saw it and i was so moved by it I was crying it was a joy to see.

  26. I have not I think they’re not as popular in this cold clinate! Congrats on the release (and still new pup!). Can’t wait to read it.

  28. Yes, I have attended a holiday boat parade. Grand Lake has one that is actually on the lake. So fun!

  37. While I have been to a Christmas parade, and Christmas light displays, none of them have had decorated boats. That sounds interesting and fun- as does your new book!

    Thanks for sharing this cookie recipe- those are beautiful! Congrats on your new puppy 🙂 .

    Hope you and yours have safe and Happy Holidays!

  40. Was never in a boat parade. Was in a parade
    of golf carts when we were Winter Texans.
    Love the title of the book – good winter
    idea. Looking forward to reading it.
    thanks. Merry Christmas

  42. No, I’ve never attended a holiday boat parade.

    Congratulations on your new release. I’m looking forward to reading it.

  44. I don’t live near a marina, so I haven’t attended a holiday boat parade. It sounds like fun though.

  54. Not only have I BEEN to a holiday boat parade, but when I lived in West Palm Beach some friends of mine from church invited me to be on their boat during one along the Intracoastal Waterway. We had a blast.

  57. Nope…I have never gone to one. I have always wanted to, though. They look so beautiful in the pictures I see posted. Merry Christmas!!

  60. Yes , my brother in law lives on a lake and every fourth of July they have a huge boat parade around the lake.

  62. I have not, I only recently heard of one. I live in Utah, no such thing here. I’m up for anything! Happy Holidays all!
