These cookies are crunchy. Turn the volume up on Law & Order, blare the The Kills. They might drown out people when they’re trying to talk to you. They’re rude like that. Their tastiness though, will make you embrace the crunch. And I haven’t tried it yet, but I know that if you dunk these in milk it’ll be a dreamy after-school-type snack. I had to eat one right out of the oven; I wanted…
These cookies were meant to be. I had exactly one stick of butter plus six tablespoons and I had sugar cookies on my mind. It was a butter miracle. So, I guess now I need to buy more butter. I’m in love with these vintage Valentine cookie cutters. They cut out cookies like it’s the 60’s, like Betty Draper, like they mean it. Rumor has it these cookies taste as if a Keebler elf helped…
Owl you need is love. Who whooooo would you rather have as your Valentine? Owl always love you! Owl always think you’re a major hottie. Hootie hoo. These cookies could be given as Valentines. You could attach notes that say things like those ones up there. Owl bet everyone would really love it. Especially the one where you tell them they’re a major hottie. Did you know that coconut turns into owl feathers in the cookie…
I’ve got the winter blues. It has to do with the fact that every day I layer on sweaters, a scarf and a coat. And once all these layers are on I realize my bra strap is twisted. It’s twisted underneath layers of clothes. It’s the worst. So yeah, I’m getting frustrated with winter. Jake and Elliot help chase away the blues though. Jake makes me tasty burgers, chit-chats with me, and doesn’t judge me…
My sister, Laura, and I made these so that my parents’ house would smell super-amazing. You see, my parents are trying to sell their house, and cookies help dreams come true. These are divine. They get a crinkly top like brownies get, which is much more flattering than a muffin-top. Basically, these are brownies in cookie outfits. So pretty much, these suckers are just the thing to round out your christmas cookie list, make your…
Here are some scaaaaaaaary cupcakes for you. (Now imagine I said that in a ghost voice, all spooky-like.) Chipotle + chocolate = love. In these cupcakes you can taste the spice without being bullied by it. It’s an obvious heat without being scary. I used Dutch cocoa to make these super dark and mysterious. If only I was dark and mysterious. I’m pale in the redhead way. I suppose, it could work in my favor though.…
I ran out of eggs! It’s ok though because this cookie recipe is the kind that keeps it real without them. Basically these little ice cream sandwiches were meant to be. These are really good. Even though the chocolate chips didn’t want to stick to the ice cream on the sides and fell sprinkling the floor on the walk to the freezer. And maybe some of the cookies were too warm when I sandwiched them and…
I like that this cake kinda looks like a super huge stack of pancakes. I like that there’s strawberry jam keeping it real between six layers of sugar cookie-esque goodness. I like that at the end I get to dust it with powdered sugar. I really like the dusting with powdered sugar part. It maybe doesn’t look like it here, but those guys are the same size. I weighed them all on my tiny scale…
Why did I make these last night with my eye-brows down and my forehead wrinkled? Because these guys cure worries. Worried about your car at the shop? Take a bite of one of these. Worried because your house is a disaster-mess? Chomp chomp. Feeling a little weird, in general? Eat two. Whew. I feel way better, do you? These are probably called half-way cookies because they are half-way between heaven and a dream. These cookies…
I like minis. For example: my skirt could probably be considered a mini today, since it’s a shortie and my Elliot is just a little guy (14 lbs) and I order big beers at sushi restaurants because they are served in mini glasses and I always opt for mini burgers over full-size. These cupcakes just reinforce the mini-love. What do you like best? Regular-sized cupcakes or the perfect 2-biter? I also really like cookie dough…
