If I am being completely honest, I haven’t been feeling like myself for a quite a while. I have only halfheartedly wanted to blog. I have tons of trashed or half written posts, but I just haven’t had the drive or desire to continue. Call it a quarter-life crisis if you will. I … More Soft Sprinkle & Fudgy Dark Chocolate Cookies
When I sat down at the beginning of the year, I promised myself that I would keep up with the blog better and then I blinked and it was March. Well I am sorry, but I will try to do better. Just like this blog getting away from me, Purim has snuck-up on me. For … More Chag Purim Sameach! It’s Hamentaschen Season!
Love them or hate them (although I am not sure it is possible to hate them) holiday cookies are a defining part of the season. For me, it is yet another reason to dirty every dish in my kitchen and give out cookies. I personally don’t think there are any rules or guidelines when it … More Holiday Cookies
It may not be fall yet everywhere in the US, but it Seattle it feels like fall is fully upon us. The changing of the season comes the changing of recipes and the social acceptability of making everything pumpkin flavored. I am all for hopping on the pumpkin wagon and don’t worry, those recipes are … More Spice Cookies
I think that everyone growing up had a favorite Little Debbie treat that would occasionally show up in their lunch box or an after school snack. Be it a Cosmic Brownie, Zebra Cake, Swiss Roll, or Fudge Round, just the sight of the box would send joy and excitement through your body just waiting to devour … More Oatmeal Cream Pies
I have been waiting for inspiration to strike and it hasn’t been happening which accounts for the lack of posts this past week. It’s not that I didn’t want to bake, I just wanted to do something new and different. Today’s inspiration is thanks in large part of my boss. She was talking about making … More Sausalito Cookies
Not everyone can recall the very first cookie that they ever ate, but I can say with 100% certainty that the very first cookie I ever ate was my Mom’s Oatmeal cookie. If she calls me and tells me that isn’t true, I do not care, I will not change this post. I have eaten … More My Mom’s Oatmeal Cookies
You know the first time you taste something that becomes your favorite and you know that will be the standard that everything else will be compared to? Well that is how I feel about about my very favorite childhood cookie. Some people may call them sugar cookies, but to us, they will forever be known … More Sugar Shocks
People often ask me what my favorite thing to bake is and part of me kinda hates that question. To be completely honest, I understand why they ask, but I never know how to answer. What I like to bake changes more often than the weather in Texas. I have not personally experienced that, but … More Dark Chocolate Espresso Shortbread
A good recipe can come from anywhere. These chocolate chip cookies are courtesy of my mother-in-law. I am so touched that even on an anniversary trip she thought of me and passed along a recipe for the cookies that were made at the Bed & Breakfast they were staying at. I really think I lucked … More Bed & Breakfast Chocolate Chip Cookies
