    orange chocolate biscotti

    This is the 4th year that I’ve participated in the Salted Cookie swap. One of the benefits of the swap is that you end up with a pile of new recipes across all the participants…. but each year I’m still finding myself searching the internet for inspiration. I had never made the biscotti before but…

    miso chocolate chip cookies

    These cookies might be some of the best I’ve ever made. They are so delicious. I’ve previously made other miso cookies – but took this recipe up a notch. I had a strong craving for a big, warm, fresh from the oven chocolate chip cookie last night. But I didn’t want just any cookie, I…

    miso peanut butter cookies

      File this under one of the best and easiest cookies on planet earth. The first time I made them I doubled the batch and was very happy that I did. I found the recipe on the New York Times Christmas cookie roundup. Of the 24 or so listed there were many that seemed very enticing…. but…

    very delicious tahini chocolate chip cookies

    As previously documented, I’ve grown quite a fondness for chocolate chip cookies… and specifically having them at the ready in the freezer. I’m currently on my second batch of these tahini cookies and see many more in my future. I found these by pretty much just looking for unique chocolate chip cookies. There is a…

    salted dulce de leche double chocolate cookies

    I’d like to introduce you to perhaps one of the most delicious cookies ever. I honestly can’t even remember how I found it but I’m so thankful that I did. I was completely unable to exhibit self control around them and consumed four in one evening… and to be clear, there were more consumed earlier…

    gluten free chocolate chip cookies

    In the last couple years, I’ve become more of a dessert person – but not just any dessert. I’m still not choosing a piece of pie after my dinner but I’ll rarely push away a piece of chocolate or cookie. Given my lack of self-control, I have removed all of the Reese cups from my…

    iced oatmeal cookies

    These cookies are addicting and delicious …. and I absolutely made some mistakes when I was making them. But wow, if you aren’t interested in trying them … please show yourself to the door. Although technically an oatmeal cookie, it is lacking all the things that make people sad like raisins and a heavy oat…

    cranberry orange swirl cookies

    I have watched a whole lot of “Great British Baking Show” this year… and one thing that seems pervasive on that show is people screwing up a rolled dough. In their defense, it is usually a sponge cake and that seems hard. But, I absolutely had flashbacks to the show when I was making these…

    chocolate marshmallow gingersnap

    I’m not sure when I became a fan of gingersnaps, but it most certainly hasn’t been my entire life. So, any time I have the opportunity to try a ginger cookie…. I will. My default favorite are the Trader Joes version. They are delightfully small but have chunks of ginger in them. So what makes…

    chocolate pistachio cookies

    We have a cookie contest this coming week at work and despite all my prior cooking efforts, I’ve never been in a contest before. I wasn’t sure where I stood on the contest, was I going to take it seriously and really bring my A game? or keep it casual and do the bare minimum?…
