Inspired by many a London menu featuring some version of posh fiore de latte softserve, drizzled in an artisanal olive oil, I decided to try the trend at home this weekend. While I love this savory sweet combo, I decided it could do with a little crunch, so I took a page from Halicopter Away’s…

Chewy Pistachio Cookies
Last night I gave this recipe a go in hopes that the cookies could be a contender for this year’s Christmas plate. They very well could be with their salty, chewy, just a hint of pistachio goodness. This lovely recipe comes from Also the Crumbs Please and made 19 large cookies. They spread quite a…
Super Model Project: White Chocolate Macadamia Nut Cookies
Rarely a cookie recipe comes along – from a supermodel, no less- that truly blows your mind. This recipe is absolute, indulgent perfection! Sweet, salty, crunchy, chewy… Ms. Teigan nails it, the it being my waist line, but totally worth ‘it.’ Chrissy’s White Chocolate Macadamia Nut Cookies
Cranberry Orange Oatmeal Cookies
The star of this year’s cookie plate is reminiscent of a cookie I found at Violet Bakery in London several years ago and have been chasing ever since. Some might argue these are better suited to the citrus-laden days of spring, but I think they are perfect for the holidays. Plus, their citrusy glaze keeps…
Double Snickerdoodle Cookies
This recipe takes the cinnamony-sugary goodness of a sugar cookie and stuffs another one inside of it. Why eat one when you can eat two…or rather one riddled with the innards of a cinnamon roll. Perfectly chewy, right from the freezer…if they last that long to make it there… Double Snickerdoodle Cookies For the filling:…
Best Bake of Quarantine: Brown Butter and Toffee Cookies
Follow chef Rick Andrew Martinez and you have a glimpse of his quarantine adventures in Mexico that seem to be all cooking and sunsets. My kind of guy. He’s one of those fun chefs that Instagram matrixes the home chef’s creations following his recipes and day after day, story after story, were these Brown Butter…
Alison Roman’s Tiny, Salty, Chocolatey Cookies
Not usually a chocolate gal, but I had a hankering for it this weekend and decided to give this ‘tiny’ cookie recipe from Alison Roman a go… There’s no flour in them, so they’re basically a health food. While very easy to make, something odd happened to my batch. I tried to slide into Alison’s…
Gluten-Free Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies
Last Friday, I dropped off four Peanut Butter Cookies to a colleague as a simple, “happy-Friday-eat-these-with-your-coffee” treat. I come to find out that somehow she had rationed just a few cookies so that she could share them with both her mum and boyfriend. So sweet. Naturally, the next step was to make an entire batch…
Love, Sweet Love
Hello, loving readers! We are prepping for Valentine’s Day with a little inspo from Chef Jaime today. Yours truly will share her similar thoughts soon and we can decide together who’s version of love and baking is the grossest…or at least the ooey-ist, gooey-ist. What are you baking for your hubs for Valentine’s Day?…
Macarons vs Mayhem: Chatting with a Pro Baker
Being that it’s arguably the greatest baking holiday of the year, it’s time to get serious about your craft. Instead of taking a page from my book of wine drinking, while strewing the kitchen with flour, sugar, and other messy delights, I thought it was time you’d heard from a pro. So, without further ado,…
Little Loves: Foodie Edition
Tasty souvineers from travels near and far. Neighbors who bake you cookies when you’re sick. Mini Stroopwafelss just because they’re the size of a dollar coin. Oreo-mint martinis. Need I say more?
The Fort that Li’l Wayne Built for Li’l People: A Day at Fort Wayne Children’s Zoo
Hi Avid Readers with Impressive Senses of Humor! My name is Walter and I’m going to tell you all about the AWESOME visit with my dope, Aunt Lauren. I think she usually talks to you, but last weekend she promised me some time on her lap top. Apple toys really are the best. First, a…
