As often happens to me these days, I had the urge to bake, but not much to work with. But if you have butter (and flour and sugar), you have everything you need! I’ve expressed my love of brown butter before. Brown butter has this nutty wonderful flavor and can transform a baked good or even [...]

Since then I have seen it all over the place. What a crazy and ridiculously delicious idea! I made these cookies in February of last year and they were a huge [...] January 25th, 2012 | Tags: Chocolate, Oreo, stuffed cookie | Category: Chocolate, Cookies, Desserts | Leave a comment I’ve always called these gingersnaps, but they cannot accurately have that name since there is very little “snap” to them in texture. If you’re looking for a crispy gingersnap, this is not the cookie for you. These cookies are incredibly delicious and something that always makes me think of this time of year. After I [...] Hello, my long lost food blog. It’s been a while. Here, have some cookies. Our family has been busy. And it’s not just the wonderful chaos that ensues once November hits. We just moved to Houston from Amarillo, and have been spending the last 3 months living apart and driving all over the great state [...] In honor of Bastille Day…or possibly just an excuse to use the madeleine pan that has been sitting in my cupboard for a few years now? Regardless, these French lemon madeleines are light and lovely. This was one of those times in the kitchen where you begin to wonder, “Is this just not in the [...] July 14th, 2011 | Tags: French, lemon, madeleines, Martha Stewart, rosemary | Category: Cookies, Desserts | One comment Is there any better combination?

Thanks, mom : ) These cookies are called English Toffee Cookies in the cookbook, but I took the liberty of changing their name to be more descriptive. They are a little like toffee with their salty sweetness, but [...] Some of you know the story behind why I made these. These cookies didn’t end up making it to their intended destination. On the bright side, I got to practice my cookie decorating skills. Even though making these requires quite a bit of time, and even though my hands and nails have been dyed by [...] April 19th, 2011 | Category: Cookies | One comment There was a time in my life that I would have turned my nose up at a cookie recipe that used a cake mix. Times have changed. Like many of my baked goods these days, this one was an attempt to use things I had on hand. I had a cake mix, a jar of [...] March 4th, 2011 | Tags: cake mix, Chocolate, peanut butter chips, peanuts | Category: Chocolate, Cookies, Desserts | Leave a comment Trail mix is one of my favorite snacks. I am not active enough to really need the calories and nutritional value it provides, but it’s still not as bad as chowing down on a bag of potato chips, right?
