Just in time for Easter, or in celebration of Spring, here is an adorable, edible craft. These macaroon nests take the same delicious macaroon recipe I’ve posted earlier, but are dressed up a bit for the season. A drizzle of melted semi-sweet chocolate, because everything is better with chocolate, and a few egg shaped treatsRead more
Part snickerdoodle, part caramel apple, these cookies have got it going on! They’re super chewy, with bright notes of apple, gooey caramel, all surrounded by sweet cinnamon-sugar. You just can’t stop eating them because they have so many different layers of flavor. These were definitely a favorite at Carroll Cafe this month, and will definitelyRead more
Happy Valentine’s Day! I hope you take a moment today to recognize all the love in your life. I’m not much of a fan of Valentine’s Day, but one of my college roommates loved it. It’s her favorite holiday, and she makes a point of telling everyone in her life how much they mean toRead more
These cookies are a family favorite. My grandma always made these for Sister as her Christmas cookie. Since grandma passed away in 2007, I’ve tried to carry on the tradition. While I’m sure mine aren’t as pretty as Grandma’s were, they’re just as tasty. These cookies are delicious, the rich buttery shortbread complements the toastedRead more
These are one of the cookies I made last week for Carroll Cafe. Now I have to confess that I don’t like eggnog. But every year Sister likes to get a carton of eggnog for the season, and usually cuts it with milk because it’s too rich on its own. So there’s typically at leastRead more
These cookies are simple, yet exquisite. The brown sugar tastes caramelized, giving a rich toffee flavor and nice chewy texture that goes well with the oats. These are definitely going to be one of my go-to cookies. It’s especially good for anyone who isn’t that into chocolate. While obviously cookies are always best when eatenRead more
Is it possible that it’s November?!? Where does the time go! I hope you all had a wonderful Halloween. If you didn’t get enough sweets already, here’s a wonderful fall cookie to try to remind you of the season…because clearly if I eat enough of these it’ll be easier to remember it’s already November….right? TheseRead more
I’ve always been a bit skeptical about vegan baked goods. But every so often I like to be able to bake treats for a specialized diet crowd and so it’s important to have a good vegan recipe on hand for those instances. These cookies are good. They aren’t my ideal chocolate chip cookie because they’reRead more
This is another recipe from my grandma. These were the cookies I always requested for Christmas, they totally taste like the holidays to me. I haven’t had these cookies in quite a few years, and so it was totally nostalgic having these again. They’re apparently officially called Salted Nut Chews, but in my family they’reRead more
Warning: this is highly addictive. This is popular with people that don’t like chocolate, this is popular with people that don’t like mint! This is great for a salty, sweet, minty, crunchy treat! There’s a little bit of everything in here and the possibilities are endless. While this isn’t really “cooking” it’s a great assemblyRead more
