Marbled Dark Chocolate Peppermint Spritz Cookies. These deeply chocolatey, buttery, peppermint-spiked cookies are just as delicious as they are easy to make. They’re the perfect Christmas cookies, and the marbled white chocolate peppermint-swirl design makes them almost too pretty to eat. I got some brand new baking pans, several pairs of the stretchiest sweatpants…
Chewy Chai Snickerdoodles
Today I was the girl who bundled up from head to toe, cleared off her car, waited 20 minutes for it to heat up, and braved the snow and the icy roads simply to get her morning coffee. Her morning iced coffee. A cold brew when it was below freezing outside. JUDGE AWAY. I’d love a…
Butter Pecan Snowball Cookies
These Butter Pecan Snowball Cookies make me feel so Shakespearean. A cookie by any other name… Did you know that these cookies are made in all corners of the earth, and that they have like a billion different names to show for it?
The Best Chewy Café-Style Peanut Butter Cookies
“So I see that there’s a Google search tab for ‘cookie-induced psychosis’ open on your computer,” James said the other morning. “Exactly how many more cookies are you planning to make this week?” If anyone had any doubts about these truly being THE BEST peanut butter cookies, please let that be Exhibit A. When you are…
Chewy Cherry Chocolate Chunk Oatmeal Cookies
It’s the final countdown. We’re two days away from Christmas. One day away from Christmas Eve (and Hanukkah!). Zero days away from me making a disaster in my kitchen while trying desperately to prepare all of the food. It’s go time. You might feel like you already have a handle on everything for your holiday…
Nutella Pumpkin Samoa Cookies
Happy Halloweekend! I know we’re excited about the here-and-now holiday, but I want to throw it back for just a second. Long, long ago, in the fabulous, fabled era of the nineteen-nineties, I was a young girl who had a vast and varied collection of beanie babies, a stockpile of gel pens, a dozen audio cassettes, three Lisa Frank folders, two tamagotchis,…
Salted Caramel Ice Cream in Chocolate Covered Kettle Chip Cookie Bowls
“If you start to feel claustrophobic, just try to list as many ice cream varieties in your head as you can,” the MRI technologist told me before I was rolled into the tube.
Death By Chocolate Chunk Cookies
This cookie is the result of countless hours of inner-debate over which decadent dessert to bake. Do I whip together my famous Chocolate Chip Cookies? Do I mix up some One Bowl Brownies? How’s a woman to choose between both sources of sugary splendor? She doesn’t. In times of crisis, she makes Death By Chocolate Chunk…
Matcha Cookie Christmas Tree Stacks
It’s an exciting day of firsts for me. This is my first post I’ve written since moving (to my first place I’ve rented away from home since college), of my first time using matcha in baked goods. I never thought these Matcha Cookie Christmas Tree Stacks would turn out so perfectly on my first go, but what do you know? It’s a…
Salted Caramel Crunch Cookies
I realize that this is the second post in a row that has “Crunch” in the title. But honestly, who doesn’t want a crunchy exterior surrounding their chicken, or some crunchy mix-ins in their cookie dough? After all, if flavor is the leading role, then texture is the director. Did you know that texture actually largely…
Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars
While scrolling down my facebook feed earlier this week, I noticed a post from my cousin Jamie that made me laugh as I waited for my Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars to come out of the oven. She announced, I’ve noticed a big backlash lately against pumpkin spice and I just wanted to make my…
Soft & Chewy Ginger Cookies with Eggnog Frosting
This week has been all about the cookies for me. With the holidays coming up, The Best Chewy Cafe-Style Chocolate Chip Cookies have been all over the web, which makes me a happy gal. Especially because it’s given me an excuse to make a couple of extra batches this week. “I just want to make…
Red Velvet Cream Cheese Swirl Cookies
Everywhere you look this time of year, there’s red and white– striped, dotted, or blocked together, running its way up candy canes and down pillars, and circling around knit scarves and Santa hats. So it’s no surprise that a deep red, chewy cookie with swirls of sweet cream cheese and dots of white chocolate chips fit…
Flourless Peanut Butter & Dark Chocolate Cookies
They’re peanut butter. They’re dark chocolate. They’re peanut butter. They’re dark chocolate. A little naughty, a little nice, and a lot of yum. These cookies are just as tasty as they are attractive (who sees a half-and-half chocolate and peanut butter cookie and thinks, “nah“?) and they’re quick and easy to make, to boot. BUT…
Pumpkin & Apple Cider Oatmeal Creme Pies
Go ahead and throw all of your stereotypes at me because I have fully embraced my love of all things fall-related. I’m drinking a Pumpkin Spice Iced Coffee right now and wearing a football-themed sweatshirt and I keep thinking about how I need to plan an apple-picking trip. Next thing you know, I’ll be stocking…
The Best Chewy Café-Style Chocolate Chip Cookies
These cookies are my most popular recipe ever, and for good reason. But I went ahead and messed with them anyway. After years of making them, I’ve very slightly tweaked the recipe (to be seriously perfect, because I’m obsessive), but the original recipe will be preserved in the notes section for all who prefer it. I’ve…
