Cinnamon Spice T-rex Cookies

Sometimes I get the coolest vintage cookie cutters around the same time I’m introduced to T-Rex. So this totally turned into the perfect time to transform dinosaur cookie cutters into song references, ya know? Talk bubbles, dinosaurs, and flowers. No big deal. I should’ve been listening to T-Rex sooner, but ya know, we can’t live life by what we should’ve done. Like yesterday I took two of the wrong trains to get back to my friends’ house. (I’m visiting…

Happy Thanksgiving + Bling Cookies

Happy Thanksgiving, you guys! I’m thankful for each and every one of you! It’s just the truth!

I’m thankful for breakfast dates with my dad, and how…

And I need to make these cookies again immediately. Oui oui! *French bread. French Toast.…

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…

Sweet & Salty Sugar Cookies

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…
