French toast always reminds me of two things. 1. That girl in The 40-Year Old Virgin who really wanted Fraaaaaaanch toast while driving recklessly. 2. The part in Better Off Dead where the mom, who was an awful cook, made all “French” foods* for the foreign exchange student/hottie. I need to watch more 80’s movies with John Cusak in them. And I need to make these cookies again immediately. Oui oui! *French bread. French Toast.…
If you ask me what I want for breakfast, I’ll most def say PANCAKES! … unless I say waffles. But most the time, I want pancakes. So much so, that I have a little chalkboard in the kitchen with a basic buttermilk recipe written out for pancaking on the quick! So, why not have a cookie that tastes like that breakfast favorite? Why not stack them and eat 8 at time, snack-style? Basically I’m into maple-y…
I hope you all had the best Christmas! I baked those cupcakes up there for my BFF’s Friendsmas party. I topped the hell out of them with some of the deer and tree toppers that I’m crazy about. (Keep your eye out for them again super soon, birthday cake style.) This year I borrowed a fun 60’s aluminum tree from a friend of mine who knows what’s up. I think I should maybe keep it…
I’m obviously head over heels in love with the chocolate orange combo. I mean, I’ve sconed, brioched, frozen, and now cookied again. Can’t stop won’t stop. These whimsical guys should totally be a part of your holiday baking. And their swirly chocolate outfit makes them the fun cookie. The cookie that never irons its outfit, but makes it seem so cool. Not to mention, these are soft, dreamy, love-worthy cookies. Trust me, ok? Please note: this…
I ate one of these cookies before dinner yesterday. It was a cookie appetizer, and it was necessary. Then I made a salad for dinner, ate a truffle santa, and listened to Mariah Carey Fantasy the remix. Just an average night, really. But these cookies are the opposite of average. They are super lemony refreshing! One glance at their casual outfits, you wouldn’t suspect the tasty citrus flavor punch sandwiched in each bite. (Are you…
Mushrooms are one of the cutest vegetables. They remind me of gnomes and fairy tails. So thanks, nature! Thanks for mushrooms, acorns, and mini pinecones. Nature’s just cute, you guys. So these cookies resemble a vegetable, but are just cookies. They’re late for the whole dressing-up-for-Halloween-thing. They taste like crumb-y good shortbread. I just might want to dunk them in jam like these guys. P.S. Mostly I ate two in a row, really quick, while these…
Is it cold where you’re at? These cookies will warm you right up. They’re like that new coat you bought. You know, the one that goes swimmingly with your favorite coral pants. While the coat isn’t as warm as it is fashionable, these cookies are toasty and equally pretty. These would pair well with a cozy night in. Or a casual day when you need some cookies in your life. Call your neighbor and have…
I don’t know, you guys. It’s been one of those weekends. The kind where you buy ingredients for your dream pizza and then eat cereal for dinner. The kind where you go to Trader Joe’s in pajamas and buy milk and dog treats. (So what!) I just need to remind myself that worrying about the future doesn’t help a darn thing. It’s just “borrowing trouble”, and I’ve got to quit it. While I totally need…
I was going to tell you guys how I’ve been listening to the new Fiona Apple album on repeat. I was going to make a pizza, or focaccia bread, or quiche last weekend. I was going to sandwich chocolate in between these little cookies. I had plans like that. However, once I tasted these, I realized they need nothing at all! They taste like toffee and caramel! Brown butter is the best accessory these cookies could’ve…
I want my whole world to be the color of strawberry sorbet. I’d like to match it to the paint sample of my life. OH! I made a total of 4 recipes for this feature. Click here and here for the first two posts. Check back for the last recipe next week! (This just might be the recipe I was most excited to show you!) Let’s make these components, assemble, and freeze! We’ll have them handy for…
