My blog turned three last Tuesday! In dog years it can drink legally! I figured that for this birthday I’d revisit my Mom’s Chocolate Chip Cookies, since they’re probably the first thing ever baked on my own in my life, and since they’re delicious. So thanks guys for visiting my blog ever! It means the world to me! Without this little spot of the internet I would’ve never met Cindy in real life, and she’s the…
Awhile back, my girl Jessica and I collaborated to bring food and craftiness together! We needed a cookie that would keep it’s shape while baking, so I opted for these graham guys. I tripled the recipe and used a small square cutter since I’m the worst at straight lines. Jessica piped all the X’s while I pranced around and chit-chatted with her. It was the most fun! I can’t wait to do something like this…
Once, my sister Laura and I threw a Halloween Party with the booziest sangria. We baked patriotic funfetti cupcakes in christmas liners. We assembled the worst bean dip, and had the most fun. And you see, these cookies are an edible party. They taste as good as a party is fun! Skills! These are just as easy as those patriotic cupcakes we made at Halloween with no regard. And I bet you have the ingredients in your pantry!…
These are the french fries of the tea partying world. The edges are crisp while the center is chewy version of shortbread I had no idea existed! Maybe I under-baked them a smidgen, and maybe I’m so glad I did! These are dreamy with forest honey, sea salt, and jam. Pretty much three of my faves. So, I think you should totally make these little fellas for your next lady party. Use your most favorite honey.…
I can’t get enough of this song: Spun by Grouplove. It’ll make you dance. Beware. I can’t get enough sunshine. I keep reading books in the backyard. I have a v-neck sunburn line, but to me it’s tan? And I can’t get enough chocolate chip cookie remixes in my life either. They are the comfort food of the cookie world. They taste like home, and sometimes you just need to taste that, right? These guys…
Yesterday was warm in the mitten, and it was the best day! I rode my bike all over town and carb loaded pizza-style with beers. It made me excited for summer. I have picnics and post-picnic cookies on my mind. I’m totally going to be making these cookies this summer. I love them! They’re basically chocolate chip cookies with some citrusy subtlety. Since orange and dark chocolate are one of my most favorite combos I…
What do you guys bake when you’re baking your feelings? I tend to go the chocolate chip cookie route. They just taste all homey-like. They’re comforting, ya know? It’s even better if I happen to have all the ingredients on hand. So when I stumbled across these cookies and read about their toffee-like flavor I knew I needed them to happen immediately. And they are totally toffee-tastic. So get ready. And there is no butter allowed…

My mom totally came up with this dreamy cookie recipe. She told me about them before she made them, texted me pictures after she made them, and sent me the recipe that very night. The next day I bought the ingredients. The thought of a cookie with tons of mix-ins, plenty of crunch and a pecan sandie-esque melt-in-your-mouth quality sounded perfect. They were just what I needed to bump me out of the funk I…
Did you guys eat Fudge Stripe cookies as kids? Did you pop them onto your finger and casually eat them around the edges? I totally did. So these are a total memory! And an accessory! And they look so good in stripes. These taste just like the Keebler guys. And since I live in an upper flat, I’m basically baking these in a tree, right? So if you ever crave these store-bought beauties, just make…
