I have a bad habit of leaving cupboard doors open as I get things for what I’m making. I promptly bang my head on them as soon as possible after opening them. Not cool. I have to stop that. It was a habit of mine as a kid to sneak spoonfuls of cookie dough out of the fridge. The batter bowl was constantly full of chocolate chip cookie dough just begging for me to sample…
These cupcakes are a honey graham delight, topped with chocolate ganache and then twirly swirled with marshmallow frosting. They’re so downright fantastic they’re wrong. But if these cupcakes are wrong, I don’t want to be right. These cupcakes are a bit messy, but Jake says it’s how they are supposed to be since real s’mores are messy. And Jake knows a thing or two about snacks and s’mores. The original recipes makes 24 regular cupcakes.…
Your coffee is really lonely. It needs a friend in the form of this delicious biscotti. So make this and dunk it, already! This biscotti is a crunchy chocolate dream, and your coffee will thank you! These were described as tasting like cocoa puffs. So if you love cocoa puffs, there you go! If you hate cocoa puffs, it tastes nothing like them. Not a bit. It just tastes like cocoa in the best most…
Maybe someday I’ll live somewhere where my cactuses can live comfortably and not shiver on my windowsill. They are really mad it’s not summer. I’m kinda mad it’s not summer. Especially when I want to make a peachy fruity dessert of my dreams. Don’t worry though guys, it is really possible to have super delicious peaches despite the cold. While they may be cookies disguised as peaches, they are pretty and summery in a way…
I’m working on growing up. Sometimes I wear bright red lipstick. I (try to) wear high heels despite the icy sidewalks. And rumor has it adults eat oatmeal. If I’m an adult, and I can do what I want, I will have my oatmeal in a cookie and feel very mature about it. These cookies are brownie-esque since there is both cocoa powder and bittersweet chocolate involved. So yeah, they can’t help but be related…
I’ve got my christmas tree on my mind. I’ve got it on my mind, because it’s currently still in my living room. I need to take it down before it becomes a Valentine’s day tree and then an Easter tree… Yeah, I need to take that tree down. But mostly I have chocolate on my mind. AND I got a this pretty cake stand for my birthday and it was dying to be super helpful. AND…
Hey neighbor of mine, Why are you grilling in the snow with a flashlight? Why is that a good idea? And while we’re chit-chatting, why are your dogs barking curse words at me really loudly when I’m trying super hard to sleep? Don’t they know that they are the kind of dogs that should never use their outside voices? I just don’t get it. I do, however, understand why peanut butter and chocolate have been neighbors…
I’ve got plans for 2010. I think I will start by wearing obnoxiously bright tights as much as possible. I will make bagels and carmel candies and macarons and force them on my friends. I will get bangs and not be mad at them. (I promise.) I will also be sure incorporate tarts at the end of as many meals as possible. And this is my start. My tart start to 2010. Can you believe…
Sometimes cookies are all you need. Especially when you walk to your car in the parking structure only to find it with a flat tire. It’s at moments like that, that you call the handsome bearded man in your life for a ride home and promptly make mini black and white cookies. The combo of these little cakey delights and all that christmas spirit I know you’ve got, is just the thing to make you…
The word “surprise” is a big deal to me. When I was little, I’d do any chore, wash any windows, endlessly search the house for things my mom couldn’t find, if there was a “surprise” for the reward. Because you see, a surprise could be anything! It could be a unicorn! …or a puppy even! Or in these cookies, it’s a peanut butter middle that is a pleasant surprise. Yum! And since the peanut butter…
